Day 13 - Ugh, another mix…
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
I think everyone should have this album and I know it gets readily pressed, but it's a lot. I prefer Bare Trees myself, but I thought of this first with the prompt. Still like it!

Play something that’s been issued or reissued multiple times… anniversary editions, deluxe editions, 33rpm, 45prm, remasters, audiophile pressings, colorways galore… how many versions do we need? Alternatively, play something you have multiple copies of.
INXS "Kick" (1987 Atlantic; 2022 AP 2x45 reissue)
So I worked backwards for this selection, trying to figure out what would go well following the funky Andy by Les Rita Mitsouko, and INXS was an obvious choice to me. The choppy guitar riff from Need You Tonight is a perfect follow-up. Turns out I have two copies of this album at the moment, and both are 2x45 rpm. The new all-analogue AP version is a massive improvement over the Miles Showell Abbey Roads half-speed though.
1. Thundercat "Oh Sheit it's X"
2. ABC "Poison Arrow"
3. Elvis Costello "The Beat"
4. Serge Gainsbourg "Requiem Pour Un Twisteur"
5. Camp Lo "Nicky Barnes aka It's Alright"
6. Theophilus London feat. Solange and Devonté Hinds "Flying Overseas"
7. War "The Cisco Kid"
8. Bob Marley & The Wailers "Roots Rock Reggae"
9. MC Solaar "Interlude"
10. Kaytranada "Dance Dance Dance Dance"
11. The Brooks "Drinking"
12. Les Rita Mitsouko "Andy"
13. INXS "Need You Tonight"

I doubt I’ll actually be able to catch up and complete this challenge in time but I need a push to get listening to records more so fuck it I’m going to try
Track 1
Jessie Ware - What’s Your Pleasure?
Song - Spotlight
The Art of the opening album track is one of my favorite aspects of listening to albums. A good opening track can make or break an album and often the opening track ends up being my favorite track on a given album. So narrowing this down to one for today could have been a daunting task but I think if I am making a mixtape, this is the song I want opening it. The soft and beautiful opening, leading into a killer groove and then transitioning into pure disco perfection

Track 2
ABBA - Voulez Vous
Song - Voulez Vous
Ending track 1 with an explosion of disco means track 2 needs to be an equal explosion of disco to keep the vibe going. Voulez Vous is just the song for the moment

Track 3 (sequencing issues)
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Song - Impossible Soul
This song is such a behemoth that it completely changed the vinyl track list. Part 5 of this 25 minute song is placed on Side C when the rest of the song is on Side D. Basically ruins the vinyl listening experience for the whole album

Couldn’t disagree more. I think they need to make more pressings of this!!

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
I currently own two copies on vinyl (used to have three but got rid of my stereo pressing) and this cassette tape from 1988. I also used to owned the 35 year anniversary CD reissue which was the version that I originally fell in love with. This tape version sounds like dog shit.

225 different versions of this on Discogs, I think that counts. Adding What is Life? to the mixtape, as the the fuzzy guitar gives it a nice linkage to Que Beleza.
George Harrison ~ All Things Must Pass

If feel Goldfinger is one of these tracks you could sneak into any mixtape. There’s this badass quality to it, I don’t know how to describe it. It’s punk, metal, soul, rock and jazz.

Black Pumas - Black Pumas
Pointing out how many variants of this album there are is a meme at this point, but somehow, there’s less variants than I thought there were (under 40 listed on Discogs).
