Grabbed this from the Goodwill bins. Wasn’t really sure what I was into when the hook got pulled but reeled it in because it’s Miles Davis. It looked a little scuffy and it’s playing a bit crackly but Miles Davis & John Coltrane! Oh and Discogs reports back WTF, Goodwill bin? #recordcollector

It’s a dirty windowed, hastily zoomed improperly identified black bird but I love the rising sun through its fanned wing #birds #piedmontvirginia

Happy birthday to The Big Man, Clarence Clemons, long time sidekick to Bruce Springsteen in The E Street Band. Spinning a 1973 Greek pressing of The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle to celebrate an awesome sax man #estreetnation #clarenceclemons #brucespringsteenandtheestreetband

Hey there record spinners. It’s #fontefriday with @elgringofeo.bsky.social and this one was in the box of “stuff to get to” with a sticky note that read “bowl” so I know this poor Harry is scratched beyond enjoyment but headed for upcycle redemption as a record bowl #themidnightspecial

Interesting thrift find today. Not so much for the individual album, I’m sure it’s a nice piece conducted and played well. But get a load of the hype sticker on the still in tact shrink wrap… “Pressed in West Germany”. Pretty cool I thought. A bit of throwback for this Gen X kid to Cold War days

Earlier this week I posted a Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 record, Stillness that I had never seen before. We’ll count me equally surprised to find out there was a Brasil 86 released as a solo effort in that title’s year 🤷🏻♂️
