What's Spinning

Eric Dolphy - Outward Bound

Released on this day in 1970.

In 1970, the average price of an LP was $3.50. Labels routinely had things like deluxe covers and wall-sized posters included. And the best part - they were quality pressings and sounded great.

Everyone who bought it got the best edition they could offer.

This one is no exception - a gatefold cover textured like leather with gold embossed print and a photo glued to the front of the jacket.

In today's world, they'd be trying to gouge $75-$100 a pop for something like this.

It was so much cooler when music was the most important thing about music, not limited variants, color vinyl, numbered jackets, exclusive super deluxe editions and marketing to FOMO.

Hana - Hanadriel (2020)

After many delays, Hana's fantastic album Hanadriel is here on vinyl! She signed it due to the delays, so I'm not complaining! It looks beautiful, an amazing looking purple/frost swirl. Hana is known for having been discovered by Evanescence's Ben Moody before later transitioning to her current electronic-pop persona. She's known for her collaborations with Grimes (We Appreciate Power), Dorian Electra, and Bloodpop (who co-produced this album!) The album was recorded entirely in a two-week Twitch session late in 2019. Very glad to finally have it!
