A break-up album for me in 2003. Played it to death then forgot it existed until Music On Vinyl announced this limited repress. A brilliant debut album that I loved (and still do). I can’t explain why I never heard their 2 follow ups but I suspect they never came close which is why they quit in 2011

Deciding on a mount and moulding for my Shepard Fairey silkscreen print of Paul Weller based on Steve Rapport’s original photograph. Signed by them both and limited to 500. First time I’ve had it out of the tube today! Smells amazing, looks even better!

Cheeky eBay purchase just arrived all the way from Anaheim CA (I blame @richards7370.bsky.social for the #debutalbums0004 excitement).
Remarkably intact after 5,500 miles in feeble packaging.

Super happy to have spotted a few of these imported represses of Miles Davis’s “Doo Bop” in the wild here in the UK. Hip Hop beats with his muted horn. So good

Who remembers the NME proclaiming The Vines to have saved rock n roll? I saw them at the Paradise rock club on Commonwealth Ave in Boston at the peak of the frenzy.

For anyone who likes Miles Davis’ early 90’s hip hop album. Some represses from Warner Argentina have made their way to Juno and a couple of other places. Grab while you can!
