Limited to 2500 for 2010's Record Store Day - this wasn't a record store exclusive, as they also sold copies from their web store. RSD wasn't as strict back then.

It's a good day for Mastodon while I do some cleaning / straightening up of some things down here in the basement. Gonna keep the Mastodon going in the Spinnin' thread for a while.
 
March 09: Daft Punk just announced their break-up as I am writing this. Play some Electronic music in their honor.
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You 12” Single
D49A1259-B666-436A-A1F9-FC62F11E7DC3.jpeg

Stardust (which features one half of Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter) created on of the best House jams of the 20th Century with this track. It was such a burner, Daft Punk often closed out live sets with the cut even though it technically wasn’t even a Daft Punk tune.

Pavement - Live Europaturnén MCMXCVII

This was doubly limited. It was part of the annual needlessly limited/FOMO day AKA RSD in 2009 that was limited to 2,500 copies. Then included within that total there were 95 randomly distributed hand numbered copies pressed on red wax...

So this is a extra super duper limited edition.

Show me a word that rhymes with pavement, and I won't kill your parents and roast them on a spit.
 
Day 4 - SURPRISE!
Operation Ivy - Hectic EP

Sorry if a 7" is cheating. I would play Energy if I had it. I never got introduced to much music outside standard classic rock when I was growing up, but got decent at "file sharing" music like everyone else. On a youth group camping trip or something in 8th grade, a girl I new kept singing Room Without A Window and said she had a hard time getting the whole album, so I offered to download it for her. Was surprised at how different it was from her acapella version. Did not get it or like it at first, but after sorting through all the crummy shared versions of the tracks and finally putting a decent version of the Energy+Hectic EP together for her, I loved it. Definitely a beginning of sorts for musical exploration for me.

I'll allow it.

I have a 7" of this, too. An early-but-not-first pressing - with the booklet



There also was a 2010 Energy reissue that was available 5 years ago or so when I bought it, but it looks OOP now.


I keep hoping some day they will release the full compilation on vinyl.

Angelique Kidjo - Remain in Light

This is my record from the smallest limited run in my collection. Just 200 of these beauties were pressed. (Unless there was another pressing, I didn’t look it up) And the handwritten numbering always makes it feel even more limited, maybe that’s just me.

(yes, crappy pics, I’m doing too many things at once right now)
