The Roots - Things Fall Apart
I don't have a huge hip hop collection but love every one I have. As I posted in Feb challenge this was a grower for me but among my favourites now from my favourite rap act.

The Beatles - With The Beatles / All My Loving EP
Playing these again after a while, I am amazed at how great the Mono boxset versions sound. I changed my stylus recently and everything seems that much sharper. Also a pleasant surprise to find an All My Loving OG EP inside the album. I guess I tucked it in there a while ago and forgot about it. Assuming I got as a gift from a kind relative who bought it in the 1960s but can't quite remember

Ugh....I tried to order all of his new reissues on Amazon. Had them all pre-ordered. Amazon US kept pushing back the date...until they just cancelled them all.
I hadn't checked back on them since then....and it looks like they are in stock now.

One for the Pop Tarts to check out. British Indie kid pop, like Broadcast aiming for the charts. If you’re a comics person, the kind of thing that would be raved about in a Phonogram run.

Cross post from the Feb Challenge thread:
Day 9 - This Ones A Grower
Tom Waits - Bone Machine (1992 First Pressing on Island Records)
I've been a massive fan of Tom Waits for years now, and devour anything I can (all his albums, films, books etc). I always found Bone Machine to be the most difficult of his albums, it's a very heavy avant-garde blues-rock. Once you really listen (perhaps after a few full-plays) the initial heaviness of the music gives way to some really deep and dark lyrics about death and life. It's also a perfect depiction of Wait's musical approach. He went to the Prairie Sun Recording studios to record the album and was taken to a state of the art recording room. He wandered around the building and found a dark concrete room in the basement with a water boiler in one corner. He went back to the room and got everyone to move the equipment into this basement as it perfectly fit the albums dark themes and produced an eery echo which he loved. This is the first pressing from 1992 (one of the trickier ones to find from his discography), and unfortunately, there hasn't been any official represses of the album on vinyl. Well worth listening to all the same (stream etc).

My collection #58-62
Broadway Dance Band - Broadway Special/Mma Mbahao M'Adven
Orchestre Poly-Rythmo - Ye Wele Yao/Djo Mi Do & Do Ve Nan/Mini Toun Mide & Gbeme Le/Semevo & Adja/Noude Ma Gnin Tche De Me
A West African 45 fest. First up is the big rarity. I think this was Ebo Taylor's first band and this single from Broadway Dance Band is not yet on Discogs. A bit crackly but fab.
And four new-ish grabs from my beloved Poly-Rythmo, all of them rather special, especially Adja which I've wanted for years and years.
