What's Spinning

Kindred spirits, box. Lovely recording. One of the great bits about this forum is being reminded of an album on a thread, dropping it on, and going -- oh, oh right, this is why I do this, oh.... Right. Great sounding record

Edit: I believe this slightly balances out in favor the "I've had a couple, you say that record is good? Sure, I'll buy that!" crushing wallet impact the forum has....

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!

One of the best Rolling Stones records not made by the Rolling Stones that you'll ever hear....

Izzy Stradlin And The Ju Ju Hounds - S/T

I always felt Izzy was so much better then Guns N Roses and this record proves it. Saw this tour in a tiny club and sat at the bar with Izzy, Rick Richards and Charlie Quintana (RIP, damn) for a good spell before they played. So down to earth. So personable. So many great stories. So non Axl.

My collection #885-888

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Nou Vide Bada / Jeanne Yi
Avohou Pierre et l'Orcheste Black Santiago - Wo Kpo Made
Da Capo - The Man I Used To Be

The Benin 7s train just keeps rolling on. The Da Capo is more of an odd one - when I was a teenager I used often to write to the addresses on albums and in a few cases I got replies. I've got 2 x tickets to Reading Festival, 4 x Glastonbury, signed pictures, demos etc etc. This is a pretty damn obscure French group for whom I was apparently the first fan and I got to practice my bad French on - I kept this 7 in storage for 15 years or so, and it still sounds pretty decent.
