Crystal clear re-issue of Led Zeppelin IV. Sounds great and looks super unique. What’s your favorite song off this classic?

Fever Tree! One of my favorite psych albums of all time hands down. Simply nothing like it, so absolutely underrated and beautifully psychedelic. If you listen to one album I recommend make it this one!

Possibly the most accurate album cover ever, it perfectly captures the sound of the album. And it has the anthem for Small Towns everywhere “Small Town”, every country star since has tried but failed to copy it.

Keeping the Waits going with Foreign Affairs, not his biggest but the Bette Midler duet on “I Never Talk to Strangers” will always be legendary, just like the rest of this album in my opinion

Where are my Tom Waits fans at? This is his 6th album. Fun fact (that many of your probably already know) the producer of this album, and most of Waits’ Asylum albums also producer Turtle’s “It Ain’t Me Babe” cover

Always loved this Dylan bootleg I have, these little drawing bridge a gap of 50+ years of great music being passed down over time, it’s a early 60s Dylan boot, not the greatest sound, but some great songs for sure

An album that simultaneously never fails to impress and never fails to remind me that Dylan’s evolution as an artist was generational. Great, great stuff

With the spat that sprung after a contract dispute with their first label this is either their second or third studio album depending how you see it, but whatever it is it’s great, and has the smash hit barracuda so, can’t go wrong there

Some say this is the first metal album, you can argue about that, but whatever it is it’s great! Heavy, bluesy, and never heard before, Blue Cheer struck something with this one

Crazy underrated record on George Harrison’s “Dark Horse” label, genuinely become one of my favorite records over the years, it’s unbelievable more people don’t know about it.

One of Paul’s most personal and best records, his first after the death of John. The difference between this and McCartney II (the album before this one) is stark, but both are great.

Incredible sounding Japanese import of Venus and Mars, with the obi. This very well may start up my Wings obsession again.

Another one from this newest haul, a Nilsson I don’t have yet, it’s become so obvious to me how inspired Nilsson was by Randy Newman (I mean he’s got a whole album of Newman covers after all)

Just picked up this Italian press of “Meddle”. No expectations but so far it sounds just as good as any other press I’ve heard.

Blind buy from the flea market today, the cover intrigued me. It’s on Capricorn so I had an idea of what I was getting into, so far, pretty good classic/blues rock

Been on a big Randy Newman kick as of recent. One of my favorite albums of his only maybe topped by Sail Away. One of the most underrated song writers of all time!

Traffic’s self titled 1968 album. Always a good one for me, not my favorite of theirs, but still a fun time with some good songs. This is a Canadian press.
