Day 9 - A Triple Album

Was goin to go with The Beatles Mono Masters as I haven’t spun it yet, yeah I know, what am I even doing with my life? But it’s been such a lonely year with only one Ween show announced so far—Riot Fest. ☹

I was saving a week of vacation to follow them around wherever they may have gone, but that runs up the end of September.

So, let me get my much needed live Ween fix with the brownest of the brown.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this morning we are Paintin’ The Town Brown.

10: Piano

Nils Frahm - Spaces

Thank you kind folks for leaving this one for me.

 

[Dark Star Boogie]

Day 10 - Piano

Herbie Hancock solo, doing what he does best. Side A is purely piano, while Side B is purely keyboard/synthesizer.

Don’t spin this RSD release often enough so now is the opportune time.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

11: An oldie but a goodie.

Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan

Not sure what my oldest actual pressing is, but I think this was my earliest released record, beating Jazz Samba by about a month.

Day 11: An Oldie But A Goodie
The oldest record in your collection.

One of my inherited records...

Judy Garland ‎– A Star Is Born

Released 1958.

 

[LeeVing]

Day 11: An Oldie But A Goodie

I had this playing when I discovered that it is actually a reissue - one that doesn't look to be in Discogs - but other Pitman reissues of this timeframe are. I have other original releases that are older than 1961, but I'm still spinning this one.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet ‎– Brubeck Time
Columbia ‎– CL 622, 1955/1961

Mono Reissue

Pressed at Columbia, Pitman

Day 11: why you so Old
Gene autry … unplayable but first vinyl
handed down to my from my grandfather


Protest the hero ~ fortress

I took a different route, I chose to go oldest in my collection that I bought with my own hard earned money , picked this up at warped tour in 2008

 

[dhodo]

Day 11: An Oldie but a Goldie
Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five : The Louis Armstrong Story Vol. I

This is a 1951 compilation of songs from the 20s, so I think it qualifies as oldest on both counts for my collection.

 

[GritNGlitter]

Always, always lagging behind.... Day 7: 7"

Junior Kimbrough and The Black Keys

 

[GritNGlitter]

Day 8: I Don’t Like Mondays

If I had it together enough any week to plan and execute a Monday morning spin, this would be a top choice. It's got a little haunting melancholia, but ultimately ends on an upbeat note to set a solid tone for the week.

First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar

 

[gafacaode]

Day 11 - Oldie

Ohhhhhh, this record makes me feel classy!

 

[Nee Lewman]

Andre Kostelanetz and his Orchestra - Music of Irving Berlin

 

[D Jilla]

Day 11 - An Oldie But a Goldie

Boston Symphony - Mendelssohn concerto/Prokofiev concerto

This appears to be my oldest, from 1959. In better shape than some records I buy new these days!

 

[ranbalam]

Day 10 - Piano

Bill Evans - Alone

He might be my favorite...

 

[GritNGlitter]

Day 9: Triple

Tanya Donelly - Swan Song Series

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 12: Rain

Put on a record you’d play on a rainy day!


Bohren & Der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission

 

[cul8er]

Day 12: Rain
A record perfect for a rainy day

No clever reason for this, just maybe I would turn to some funky blues on a rainy day.

Sarah Webster Fabio ‎– Jujus / Alchemy Of The Blues

 

[Dark Star Boogie]

Day 11 - An Oldie But A Goodie

Can’t find my 1949 Count Basie 10” at the moment, so I’ll go with this 1957 original mono copy of Hard Bop by The Jazz Messengers.

Obviously not the greatest output from this forever changing Messenger lineup, but a wonderful addition to their legendary output. Jackie McLean is great on this one, and I also really enjoy Bill Hardman’s trumpet work.

Record still plays great after all these years. Not too much surface noise either. Also with song names like “Cranky Spanky” and “Stanley’s Stiff Chickens” how can you go wrong?

Thanks for helping me remember this one. ❤✌

Day 12: Rain

While it seems to rain a lot in Oregon, we actually need more or this will be another really dry summer.

One thing I do miss about living in the midwest are thunderstorms - they happen here so infrequently people get a little odd when they hear thunder.


Pink Floyd ‎– The Division Bell
EMI United Kingdom ‎– 7243 8 28984 1 2, 1994

Cut at The Mastering Lab

 

[Critter]

Finally have my whole record collection with me so I'll play a bit of catch-up:

Day 1: O Canada
A Canadian record
