Chet Atkins Picks on the Beatles (RCA Victor LPM-3531, 1966).
-
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.

Here's the ad that inspired my parents to send a check for $7.98 to Boxcar Willie.

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.

Phoebe Bridgers: Stranger in the Alps (Dead Oceans DOC 142, 2017).
So many great songs on this. I could’ve seen her on this tour in a tiny venue (Lady’s Literary Club on Grand Rapids) but it was a Tuesday night. Sigh. “Jesus Christ I’m so blue all the time” hits me every time I hear it. She might have gotten a little goofy after this but this one’s pretty perfect.

Bright Eyes: I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning (Saddle Creek LBJ-72, 2005).
I love this album. The #vinyl has a nice soundstage. It’s the only Bright Eyes I have on wax and it’s the only one I need. Has Emmylou given her harmonic blessing to any precocious young songwriters since this?

James Brown: Get On the Good Foot (Polydor PD-2-3004, 1972).
“My Best To Jake & Family. I Feel Good. James Brown.” My prized possession. When I got the opportunity to get his autograph I thought it would be phony to ask him to sign some mint record I just bought so this is it…in all its masking taped glory.

Anna Burch: Quit the Curse (Polyvinyl PRC-346, 2018).
I love this album but the vinyl sounds mid at best. Pretty bad, actually, at least on my stuff. In the video for “2 Cool 2 Care” she does the hula hoop in slow motion which made me a fan for life.

Butter 08 (Grand Royal GR029, 1996).
I was way into JSBX in 1996 and this was Russell Simins’ band with Miho and Yuka from Cibo Matto. It sounds exactly how you’d expect (chaotic) and I don’t think I’ve listened to it in 30 years. Pretty fun.
