Ordered it when it was announced. Arrived today! #TearsForFears 40th anniversary edition of “Songs from the Big Chair” 2x vinyl with 2nd disc of alternate versions and mixes. Sounds great! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Next up earlier today was this Hawkwind comp that got me on this path. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

After watching the doc last night, I had to spin this one again. What a wild story that I was mostly unaware of. RIP Lemmy #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

I’ve had this for a few weeks, but was waiting for a time when Julie @sabercatwoman.bsky.social could enjoy it w/ me (Heads are her fave!). Tonight was a good opportunity & today is Tina Weymouth’s birthday! It’s a somewhat rare live record so I’m showing the rear cover also #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

Spun this one during dinner and enjoyed it. Apparently it was not released in the UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introdu... #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

I have tallied the records in #johnsvinyl for #5debutalbums7074 (so far) and I’m happy to report it’s a doable set. 38 have been located in #johnsvinyl (2 more are MIA). 5 more in some other format (mostly #johnsCDs). That’s an average of less than 2 records a day. Easy!

Picked this up in KC. Just in time for Episode 51 of the 500 Songs podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social that I listened to on the way home. Carl’s stop-go on his own Blue Suede Shoes is the shit. And his stuff is just great even if it didn’t make him a superstar. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
November 23, 2025 at 8:58 PM
And this one. #5debutalbums7074
November 23, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Writing my list now. Here’s one I haven’t seen mentioned yet. Hamilton Bohannon ‘73

Picked this up at the The Beths @thebeths.bsky.social gig on Friday. Giving it a 1st spin. So good! Transmission Genetics, FTW Right, Justin @bdelloid.bsky.social ? #johnsvinyl. #nowplaying

Look what arrived yesterday! Had a chance at reasonably priced NM box from @thirdmanrecords.bsky.social , so I grabbed it. #Syd #johnsvinyl

Next up from KC. Happy to find this one. And I’m suprised to read in the credits that Roland Orzabal played guitar on two tracks! RIP Terry Hall. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Clean, somewhat damp dogs!

Next up from my KC haul. On the heels of #5debutalbums1014 in which I enjoyed the Alvvays 2014 debut. Their 2017 sophomore attempt is also quite good. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
November 23, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Success! Glad to pick up this #Hawkwind record yesterday. US OP w/intact inner sleeve #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
November 23, 2025 at 4:34 PM
Next up is one of four Hamilton #Bohannon records I picked up yesterday. Kansas City was a good place for #funk. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
November 23, 2025 at 4:10 PM
First up this morning is one I’ve looking for. Pretty good early US pressing. It’s the last Wailers album with Marley, Tosh and Bunny. Glad to have it in #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

I’m all rested and recovered from a busy time in Kansas City yesterday. Here’s my haul for #johnsvinyl from three record stores (Sister Annes, Mills, and Josey) and from the The Beths gig. All three shops are recommended and will be revisited next time.

Had a good day in Kansas City after seeing The Beths last night. Three record stores were visited & 14 records procured for #johnsvinyl. Spinning this one now: Roy’s 1961 debut (recent repress) #nowplaying

Mote silly pics with Justin @bdelloid.bsky.social at The Beths @thebeths.bsky.social
November 22, 2025 at 5:35 AM
Loud is good.

Picked this up a few months ago then didn’t spin it promptly. I didn’t realize it was produced by John Cale until dropping it on the turntable. It’s more hard rock than their later stuff, but quite good I think. RIP Gilson Lavis. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Next up with a bit of more recent, pop rockabilly (albeit it’s 44 years old). They didn’t release this ‘81 debut in the US initially, but they released the ‘82 comp “Built for Speed” which has six of these tracks. Thus, I had to wait for a good European pressing to show up #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
November 21, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Picked up this UK OP recently. It’s in much better shape than my frequently played US copy! @marcheenware.bsky.social #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
