What's Spinning

My collection #763

Bob Dylan - The Cutting Edge: Bootleg Series Vol 12

Not sure what my favourite of the Bootleg Series is but this has to be up there. I think Bob was pretty much spot on in every case but he tried so many different ways out - it is fun to hear Desolation Row on the piano, Like A Rolling Stone both slowed down and speeded up, Visions of Johanna on speed. I downloaded the full 18-CD box and whole swathes of it are pretty much unlistenable with endless chat and false starts but there are some songs I wish made it here (the piano version of She's Your Lover Now, while there are some fab other versions of Desolation Row). Short version - it's Dylan at his absolute peak.

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!
