Vinyl Me Please Classics

[JonnyH]

Sweet! So an artistic silent R&HH album about soaring in the clouds, and a Jazz/Funk album about smoking pot and shooting people. Got it.

Just a few ideas that came to mind.

Well done!

No smoke or clouds, but this jazz record is about guns:

Is this forum so quiet because no one is all that stoked about Willie Bobo and there haven't been any clues? Has anyone gotten their Willie Bobo yet? How does it sound?

 

[VMPKJ]

I swapped out, but will probably pick it up later... catching up.

We do have just the one clue.

 

[siremobunny]

I ended up cancelling my swap, so I am getting Bobo...gonna let that AAA QRP impress my ears.

 

[Turbo]

Haven't received yet. In fact, doesn't look like it shipped.

It looks like Atomic Basie is next. It is a great, great album, but I already have like seven copies of it on vinyl and CD.

Has there been a clue which led to this? As much as jazz is my thing, swing and big band is a pass with me usually. Will no doubt end up getting this anyway but still, seems like a low hanging fruit pick.

The cloud or smoke clue, and it appears RHH covers the smoke part. It is still an early guess, so we'll see.

I think it's premature to assume The Atomic Mr. Basie is it, but it does fit the bill so far and is a all-time classic album. Smoke/Clouds and no vocals at all is all we got so far (assuming the RHH will be the one with a song about Guns and multiple people doing vocals). This is gonna be AAA too, so I would love a AAA Atomic Mr. Basie cut.

Looks like mine will land Thursday or Friday, will report back on sound quality if no has by that point.

The gun clue seems next to worthless if you’re talking a lot of rap music. Seems like a more interesting clue if it pertains to Classics

That would make my month if true!

Swing and Big Band isnt my thing either, but Atomic is an amazing record. It's one of those that I didnt expect to like, but ended up loving it.

 

[Turbo]

So Count Basie... not an exciting pick, but I'll probably be in. Fun record anyway.

More exciting than Bobo in my opinion.

 

[gouis]

We liked Bobo. Not something I would buy for myself and it's pretty fun and different. This is why I still sub to classics as I don't have a lot of energy to spend on finding music and the curation is still all good in my book.

 

[Turbo]

I haven't played either, so I reserve judgement. I'm happy they chose a boogaloo album for Classics, although as stated previously, I would have selected something else. Both Bobo and Count Basie will play nicely during my atomic-age bachelor pad martini soirées though*.


*totally made-up, but that should be a thing.

 

[cfkane]

I would be all in for the Basie myself. There would have to be something really special over on Essentials if I was going to swap.
