Been holding off on buying new records, but the RSD 2024 list just came out, so lets take a look. and I bought some records in the past few months. 02:59 Recent Pickups 05:48 RSD 2024 list #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords
I want to get the Everybody Digs Bill Evans RSD, similar to previous releases, the RSD one is the only way you can get it as a mono. Plus, as you mention, it's Craft, so it will be pretty great. I have one of the grey market pressings of that, so it will be nice to upgrade it. The Kristin Hersh - Hips and Makers 2 LP reissue. When this album came out originally I was in a huge Throwing Muses phase and I love this album. It includes the "Your Ghost" b-sides as well as the Strings EP which are string versions of songs from the album. It's pretty triggering that there are only going to be 600 copies and it's "regional" but I'm hopeful. Chris Isaak - The Sun Sessions - I don't prefer his covers over his originals, but now that I have the first 4 albums on vinyl, I feel like I need this in the collection. The Vince Guaraldi It Was A Short Summer Charlie Brown soundtrack-- not one I'm familiar with, but I have everything else (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, A Boy Named). If I see it, I may pick it up.
Every year it seems like they are scraping the barrel for every last nugget. That being said I can glean a few titles worth a listen at the least. I look for never released vinyl titles usually of the 90s or the 60s era. Not so many great 90s titles besides all the great grunge era releases like Screaming Trees, Tad, Mudhoney ect The 60s titles on the other hand have my attention. If you haven't heard SRC-SRC I would recommend it to anyone interested in 60s detroit garage psych. Heavy guitar and organ combo works incredibly well on Black Sheep the opener, they have a strong bitish invasion influence that sets them apart from other MI bands of that era. I also would say the Frankie Valli record is another fun psych song cycle often forgotten by fans of that style. I always enjoy Now-Again psych comps so I'll probably pick up Pale Shades Of Grey: Heavy Psychedelic Ballads And Dirges 1969-1976. I also love all the Tom Verlaine albums in that box set, worth listening to. Not sure if any of these are essential. I do think the Noah Kahan album will be sought after by the younger set as he is very popular. Otherwise good luck and may happy returns.
