What's Spinning

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!
#41: Ray Charles - Sweet and sour tears

Thid is a record I've only spun once before, and that has nothing to do with the music the grooves hold. I was gifted this record by my sister in law, who picked it up from the dollar bin in a record store, but it is SUPER scratched. The whole record sounds like a radio with bad connection or interference, which is a shame, because I was reminded today of how amazing the arrangements and performances in this record are. I may have to replace my copy for a clean one, and while I'm at it, add some more Ray Charles to my collection ;)
