Bermuda Strollers 73 (Edmar ELPS-1122, 1973).
In Jonathan Richman’s “Monologue About Bermuda” he says the Modern Lovers’ trip to the island signaled the end of the band because he was getting more excited by what the local guys like these guys were doing. Features “Bang Bang Lulu.”

B-Boy Breaks: 12 Original Tunes as Sampled by the Beastie Boys (Bootleg BBB001, 1995).
A fun collection from a time when there used to be things that were hard to find. Just checked and everything on it is available for streaming except Curtis Knight’s “Happy Birthday” (listed here as “Gotta Have It” by Jimi Hendrix).

Meet the Beatles (Capitol ST 2047, 1976 reissue).
Picked this up at the estate sale of my neighbor who was a great guy (R.I.P.). You have to be a real grump not to love Dave Dexter’s U.S. stereo mixes. They sound so fun and exciting! They’re not right but they’re good!

@gloriousnoise his name is Dexter but his mixes aren't right? odd

The Beatles: Something New (Capitol ST 2108, 1978 reissue).
Another one from my neighbor’s estate sale. Americans called this the “third album” and it’s made up of fairly deep cuts (b-sides, EP tracks, etc.). John’s vocals on “Slow Down” rip.

@gloriousnoise This album (bought the week it was originally released in Milwaukee) was part of my parents’ very small collection that came my way after they got rid of their record player. Unfortunately, it looks and sounds like it belonged to a besotted teenager.

@wobs Yeah I’ve owned dollar-bin copies of Beatles albums that had bites taken out of them.

The Beatles: The Beatles (Apple SMO 2051/52, 1978 French release on white vinyl).
Disques en pâte blanche! Tirage limité. Got this in high school as a gift from an older guy who had an inappropriate crush on my girlfriend. The white vinyl was the coolest thing I’d ever seen in 1988. Not sure I ever actually played it before today. Sounds ok, a little noisy.

The Beatles: 20 X 4 (Trade Mark of Quality).
Think I got this dumb boot at a record fair back in the early 90s. The only good things on it are two Paul songs with Donovan from the Post Card sessions: “Blackbird” and the unreleased “Heather.” The liner notes are comically inaccurate and it contains two songs absolutely *not* by any Beatles.
This version is not listed on Discogs.

Belle and Sebastian: Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance (Matador OLE-1056-1, 2015).
This is the only B&S I have on vinyl and it’s not even in my top-six B&S albums. I love “The Party Line” though. Oops I played side 3 first. Listening today, it’s better than I remember. Records encourage you to listen to music as sequenced by the artist, which is good.

Big Star: Radio City (Ardent ADD-1501, 2011 reissue).
The eternal #vinyl question: Does this sound crappy because it’s a lousy pressing…or is it my gear? I can imagine there are good versions of this out there that don’t sound sibilant and shrill, but not this one. I like the back cover photo taken at TGI Friday’s though. And the songs, of course, are perfect.

@gloriousnoise I have this same pressing and it's way less shrill than my pressing of #1 Record (2014 4 Men With Beards 180g) with a high end that will absolutely cut glass at high volume.

Boxcar Willie: King of the Road (Suffolk Marketing SMI-124K, 1980).
As advertised on T.V. This was my dad’s record, one of only a handful in my possession. It’s a perfectly adept collection of covers of country classics. Sort of a Temu Hank Williams. Not available in stores.

Just noticed my runout groove has "Cut By TRUTONE-Pa 3-81" on it. Which I assume means this was released no earlier than March 1981?

@fivetonsflax I wonder if any Hank Sr. was available or even in print in 1980?

@gloriousnoise Wikipedia says:
The American Truckers Benevolent Association, a national organization of CB truck drivers, voted "Your Cheatin' Heart" as their favorite record of all time in the fourth annual Truck Drivers' Country Music Awards, in 1978. In 1987, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame under the category "Early Influence", and he was given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
So I’m guessing yes, but it’s a good question.

@fivetonsflax I remember hearing “Kaw-liga” on my grandparents’ car radio as a kid and thinking it was the greatest song ever, but Bocephus had a hit with it in 1980 so it was probably that version. It’s weird to think there was a time we didn’t have access to all recorded music at our fingertips.
In the 90s I shoplifted a Hank Sr cassette from the budget tape rack at Meijer’s while I was getting into rockabilly, ha ha, and that was the first Hank Sr I owned.
