For those spinning their purchases already, any unexpected gems?

Mine is the Roxy Music album. Sound is amazing.

I was curious about this release. I have an old copy of that album but it was always one of my least favorite Roxy Music releases primarily because it sounds kinda terrible (e.g. “If There Is Something” should be one of my favorite Roxy Music songs except the vocals towards the end are so terribly mixed). In fact, that is precisely why I didn’t bother seeking out this new mix (I dislike the original so much that I need to hear the new mix first in order to believe it sounds good enough to drop money on it).

Personally I think this remix is amazing. But I've never been let down by a Steven WIlson remix, definitely recommend you giving it a listen. I've been ignoring my other pickups as this has been on repeat spin since yesterday.
 
I gotta say the Songs For Drella, sans it imo needing to be a gatefold, knocked it outta the park for me. Minus that one little blemish from packaging to the mixing and presentation I was happy I put up the money for it. The etching left me speechless and it was just so well done. I took a chance not knowing much about Lou Reed or Spoon and I love what I got!

That one is still a mystery to me. Some people got it, but other stores (and the list) are saying it’s in the October drop. Mine got cancelled with a note that it was mistakenly listed and will be in October.

The album itself is good - probably not where I’d start with Lou, but if you liked it you’ll probably enjoy going through his catalogue.

I got it because of the connection to Andy Warhol. However, I really DUG a lot of it so I really do need to seek out more now LOL
