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!

Cross post from the Feb Challenge thread:

Day 10 - Don’t Shoot The Piano Player

Jutta Hipp - At The Hickory House Volume 1 (Blue Note, 1956 First Mono Pressing)

An incredibly rare Blue Note first press which I completely lucked out on. Jutta is surely jazz's saddest story. An incredibly gifted immigrant pianist from Germany who, unfortunately, was pressured out of recording by a small number of her negative and racist peers. Her meek nature wasn't strong enough to push through and she retired to work at a garment factory for the rest of her life and wasn't even aware of her success until a few months prior to her death. This is a fabulous album, well worth listening to!
