Glory or Death - Friends & Family, Volume III

I was waiting for this one for a couple years and was afraid the label wasn't going to finish the planned five volumes.

James Brown – A Soulful Christmas
Polydor – B0021491-01, 1968/2014

Cut by Ray Janos at Sterling Sound

This isn’t the jackpot records one right? Been tempted by the jackpot set of his Christmas albums…

Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms

I forgot to take a picture until I took it off, but do not waste your money on VMP anymore. This is a cheap piece of crap. The gatefold is made of the cheapest quality material. The disc is a bowl and while the colors look good on it, you can get the wide release for $15 on Amazon pre-order. If it wasn't already my last month I would have cancelled after getting this crap from them, even more so at the insane premium price. I'd be absolutely shocked if they can keep any of the remaining subscribers except for those who only buy to collect after openly embracing such shoddy quality.

How does it sound though? Or too warped to spin?

Kelly Finnigan - A Joyful Sound

Side a sounded fine. Nothing ground breaking but with an album like that I doubt you can get much more out of it. Side b wasn't a risk I'd take.

Get charged up with DJ Sly and DJ Seduction - Hardcore N R G

Been doing a deep dive into Blood Incantation. A lot of variation between albums/eps. These two could not be more different.

So many great albums new and reissued in 2024. Lenny Kravitz’s newest is a solid effort from a veteran artist. Well worth a replay while reviewing some of the yr’s pickups.

V/A - A Capitol Christmas



A great compilation of Christmas hits by Capitol artists from the ‘40s to the ‘60s (and the last song from ‘99).

Nope. I got this a few years ago. It's good enough that it has kept me from getting that Jackpot set...at least for now. I may pick it up still as I don't have the other 2 albums. Plus I would assume this album is at least the same if not better than this one since they are all 3 KPG cuts.

I'll probably get it for by next christmas.

There is no pressing plant etching on this one I have - but if I had to make an educated guess, it's a United pressing. Just has that look/feel/smell.

The new Jackpot set is probably pressed at Cascade, as that is the pressing plant they have been using lately. They are ok. About on par with most other independent pressing plants.
