Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[mitchwagz]

Probably Solid Oak. I think those Jazz albums guessed were all given pretty good reissues lately, not sure why they were "top guesses." We had some more credible guesses in here I think.

Yeah not sure why The Sidewinder or Out to Lunch! were even guessed but that Andrew Hill album is plausible though Black Fire did come out this month in the Tone Poet series. I’m hoping one of the guesses is the Hip Hop and we haven’t guessed essentials yet. I’ll probably be happy with anything in Classics this month though.

I mean, Essentials is a rare, crate digger, obscure label release. They could've done a lot worse than Solid Oak, there's some good stuff on there and it's one of those hardcore vinyl collectors' holy grail albums. I think having a blockbuster in RHH and a big name Blue Note jazz release from 1964 will balance out having a deep cut in Essentials.

I just pulled up Solid Oak on YouTube and clicked around to get a sense of the sound. Easy for me to go in blind if that't the pick, they sound fun!

As someone who works in Lumber sales I approve of an album called Solid Oak.

It would go perfectly next to your timber timbre record.

And a Woods album.

That'd be strange if it was, cause I SERIOUSLY doubt that Curren$y could pull off outkast numbers as storf suggested

Well Storf confirmed on Reddit that it’s not the Shaggs or the other one everyone thinks it is, so maybe the RHH one was the correct guess. The plot thickens .

Which RHH was guessed, The Roots?

Roots and Big Boi, could both be wrong and it’s one of the classics though.

Just came here to post this—

I’m glad, as I don’t want either although it would be nice not to spend an extra $23

I like the first song on that Oak album. It reminded me of something from a Tarantino movie.

Here's a pretty solid guess. Found this by combing through Discogs.

Jim Sullivan - U.F.O.

Evidence:
*1969
*Psychedelic rock, but not explicitly. Has influences of folk and country as well
*Label has only one release (in Discogs)
*Previously reissued by Light In The Attic, but never on colored vinyl
*Judging by the Have/Want ratio, very much obscure/cratediggerish
*The last cratedigger Essentials was also "found on Discogs"

Hell of a story behind Jim Sullivan, it seems. His wife worked at Capitol Records, and he played prestigious local venues. Recorded two albums, and then disappeared with zero trace in 1975.

Yeah, I dug it as well, especially when the guitar comes blaring in for the solo. The next few songs is where I lost interest.

The Roots and Big Boi were both listed I believe.

This is a good guess and a pretty good album from what I remember

I think it's starting to look more likely that we're getting Pilot Talk.

Pilot Talk is one of the few albums on that RHH list I’d be excited for.

That plus Top Drawer plus A Blue Note Classics means I’m in for all three this month.

Edit: oh Storf just shattered my Solid Oak dreams. It’s ok. I’ll get it on vinyl. Some day.

Sorry, but storf ruled out Top Drawer.

In Storf’s first clue, he said the record label only had one release... according to Discogs.

This album’s record label number is something like “MR-0003” which could imply the label put out two other releases before it. It’s just they’re not listed on discogs.

But storf probably got the info from discogs.
