My early bird edition of the new Jay Som arrived today.

I’ve decided to try revisiting the other two albums before I dive in with it.

Up first, the album that started it all: Jay Som, Turn Into.

My favorite DP album but my copy of Machine Head (although playable) suffers from some youthful indiscretion. However, I did replace my worn out copy of Made in Japan when it was reissued in ‘98 by DCC. Now if the wife just wasn’t sleeping above my head I would join in the B-day tribute.

I have to plug this one every once in a while. You won't find a better distort-o blues psych freakout.

Be sure to follow the instructions on the label.

Left Lane Cruiser & James Leg - Painkillers

Nice. What is your favorite AFI?

Nice. What is your favorite AFI?

That's a tough one. I think their strongest works are the All Hallows EP and Sing The Sorrow. I love everything they've ever put out though!

Yours have any of the issues others have complained about? Mine had a pretty big warp so am taking it back. Not sure my ears are good enough to hear the pitch issues but seems to be quite a few complaining of off-centre pressings.

No visible warps or off-centre and like you, if there is a tape problem, I didn't hear it and I'm not planning on forcing myself to listen for it so I'm happy with it overall. Hope you get a good one next. These TP gatefold jackets are something special too aren't they? Really nicely done.
