Fresh Grabs

[Skalap]

As super annoyed as I am to have missed out on hanging out with you guys, I think my wallet is all the better for it (although I was charged £36 for a dental appointment which is outrageous!!!)

You could have drink a few beers to remove the pain and buy a record or two for the same price.

My girlfriend said a similar thing. Along the lines of "with that money you could have got so drunk that a pair of pliers could have done the same job and it would have been less painful"

@Mr Moore offered himself to do the work but you never answered

I would have been well and truly out of it at that point!

Don't quite understand my local shop - they've priced nearly all Tone Poets at about £45 but suddenly saw the one I wanted, Andrew Hill's Black Fire, for £24 (as cheap as anywhere in Europe - which never is normally the case for Norway) so snapped it up. Excited to hear this, out-of-tune piano or not.

[Souljacker]

I bough We Out Here almost a year ago, it was the starting point of this UK Jazz rabbit hole

Seems I have a long way to go from here.

You'll have a lot of great artists and records to discover

 

[feesrevenge]

Stumbled upon this trifecta today for a grand total of 8 dollars. They’ve definitely been pre-loved and are noisy in spots, but seemed like a solid pickup. Just praying for no skips now...

Oh damn dude, nice grabs!

 

[feesrevenge]

Most recent “final” pressing. Clear with smoke LE 500

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

The new ones...



Donald Byrd- Ethiopian Knights
Lou Donaldson - Alligator Bogaloo

These will prolly be the last two Blue Note 80 releases I pick up until they drop the Lonnie Smith and Grant Green Live albums at the end of year. I have really enjoyed all of these releases immensely.



The Chef Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury

This was my Get On Down order primarily to grab OB4CL on purple wax but I figured I should grab the Clipse while for under $20 to save on shipping.



Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo
Kurt Vile - God Is Saying This To You

The TTL and Rough Trade Exclusives respectively. Love both record’s and both turned out looking quite sharp.

 

[SKOT FREE]

It’s damn good! I actually think I like this lot more than both Idles and Fontaines D.C.

Its growing on me more and more I listen. Feeling Fades plus Slowdance I & II I absolutely love. I think I still prefer Fontaines for now but I've only just started with this band so let's see

 

[Jmcg85]

Delivered far ahead of schedule

 

[johnpisme]

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - The Freedom Rider

 

[Thackeraye]

It’s damn good! I actually think I like this lot more than both Idles and Fontaines D.C.

Fontaines never agreed with me. There are a handful of half decent songs on it, but nothing amazing. I also hate the mix - the vocals totally overpower the music.

Listened to a wee bit of The Murder Capital, and I’m definitely liking it a lot more. Missed them playing last night in Glasgow...
