What's Spinning

Cecil Taylor Unit - Dark To Themselves (Enja, 1976 First Pressing)

This will teach me to check records. I picked this up last month and have had it on my to-play pile (my girlfriend hates free-jazz so its been sitting there a while). It was listed as VG+ VG+ but it has the biggest set of warps ive seen in a while, completely wavey. Im surprised my needles staying on. It was only £10 and the seller mysteriously refunded £2 shortly after I paid (which I assumed was a partial postage refund). Ah well, live and learn.

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!
#293: Colter Wall - Songs of the Plains
