Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 40 - October 2022 /// 🎃/// Tash Sultana - Flow State

This is actually what's currently in front of the NEW IN stack chez nous:

I wanted to throw it on the platter in honour of this AOTM being officially announced but of the 26 records that arrived just before and during our trip, this is one of two that are technically my wife's, so I have to wait for her to crack the plastic before I can spin it. I finally convinced her we should pull the trigger on it when I streamed it over breakfast the morning after we saw Tash last month! Flow State and Notion EP were two of the very first pick-ups my wife added to our collection and Terra Firma is the only album that she's ever pre-ordered so it's nice we've rounded out the collection thus far. I wasn't familiar with Tash until my wife first played them. I found every spin quite enjoyable over the past couple of years but was really well and truly floored seeing them live. Absolutely top-tier performer; it was one helluva show! Not only was their performance incredible but it was one of the most diverse and energetic crowds I've ever experienced in this city (which is typically well known for being decidedly UN-rowdy.)

That sucks!
I hope you get a clean copy!

I went for a yellow/orange copy from Rough Trade so I'd get a different pressing run. Yours is good?

(mine had a mis-applied label on one side - stuck into the run-out grooves, and some prominent distortion in the 1st track of side 2... hoping the distortion is not run-wide, but I would think it would have been reported if it was. i was thinking getting it from a different pressing run from the black vinyl might help here.)

Yeah, my copy is good. It is called a deluxe edition. Maybe that just means is it is orange. There are many variants, I hope you get a good one!

Whatever you linked to at rough trade is what I got. I believe it is the yellow/orange deluxe edition. I'm sure I just got unlucky with the black vinyl copy and then I just couldn't exchange it at Amazon because it was their last copy.

I have never participated in one of these AOTMs, but I just want to say that Tash is incredible live. Such an amazing talent!

I'm honored that this is your first ROTM participation! Also I am super happy you enjoy Tash's music, too!

:D

Note, there's no pressure to actually buying the record. It's all good either way! 🍻

I didn't follow along here, but saw Tash Sultana live at a festival over the summer. Never heard of her before and was just blown away. Might have to pick this up
