The May 2023 Record Spin Challenge: Silver Screen Edition

Day 19 - Spinal Tap
Play an album that uses black on the cover

So many choices - I went with the first mostly black random discogs pick.

Some day I'll do an A/B comparison of this pressing and the SRC that came out a few months later. Both were advertised as the "First" vinyl release, but SRC's got delayed and came out a few months later.

While they get lumped in with nu-metal bands, they leaned a bit more progressive than the other nu-metal bands of the time, which is why I've liked them for as long as I have.

Mudvayne – The End Of All Things To Come
Music On Vinyl – MOVLP1692, 2002/2017

Limited/numbered to 1,500, #985

25 Memento
"Ok, so what am I doing?
Oh, I'm chasing this guy
No...he's chasing me." - Leonard

Scott Weiland "12 Bar Blues" (1998 Atlantic; 2023 RSD reissue)
Like is often the case with RSD titles one has on his wishlist, I had to chase this one down a bit. Eventually ordered it from a small local in Winnipeg.

Play something you chased down to get a copy of

Sun Ra – God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be

It took damn near a dozen attempts from myself and other members of this forum before I was finally able to secure a copy of this. So many canceled orders that I refused to believe the one that went through was actually going through until it finally arrived. Extra wild given the reissue was only a couple of years old when my search began. The original is quite a rarity, and so too it seems is the reissue. Perhaps one of the most cohesive "albums" Sun Ra ever released and sounds absolutely divine as a rare trio outing!

Drive-By Truckers "The Dirty South" (2004 New West Records; 2020 reissue)
I believe the story of Sheriff Buford, who's featured in The Buford Stick, included instances of revenge and retribution.
