Day 28 - That Was Fast
Spin a 7” or 45 RPM (heck, if you have a 78 and wanna go that route that’ll works too)

I do have a 78 that was included with my preorder of the Ann Arbor Blues Festival from Third Man Records.

Mississippi Fred McDowell* / Mississippi Fred McDowell* And Big Mama Thornton ‎– Ann Arbor Blues Festival 1969

In the runouts is etched "Never Had A 78" which is pretty neat.

Sonic Youth - Goo [4xLP Deluxe Box]

I have only really dug into Sonic Youth as a band over the last couple years. I knew them as very “influential” on many of the 90s alternative acts that I love but I never spent much time with their music. I now understand all the hubbub. I have the 3 album boxes they have put out for Daydream Nation, Goo, and Dirty and you get quite a bang for your buck (these sets still go for around $30). I hope to now try to obtains some original pressings of EVOL, Sisters, and Bad Moon Rising.

Here’s one of the bonus cuts from from the Goo box; a cover of The Beach Boys’ Pets Sounds classic, “I Know There’s An Answer”...
