Limited 180gm blue colored vinyl LP pressing. Free Your Mind… and Your Ass Will Follow is the second studio album by Funkadelic, originally released in July 1970 by Westbound Records.  Funkadelic was meant to be heard A side to B side on vinyl.  Robert Christgau referred to George Clinton as “someone from Carolina who encountered eternity on LSD and vowed to contain it in a groove”.  He did LSD so you don’t have to!  Unless you’re into that.  No judgement here.

Designer finds Aldous Harding hitting her creative stride. Harding came off a 100-date tour and went straight into the studio with a collection of songs written on the road.  Harding’s rich and timeless songwriting is the PERFECT record to put on the record player after another dark pandemic day.  “The Barrel” was one of the most loved and played songs on my show cuz….it’s the best.   This is the last copy we have.  Please give it a home for a low low price of 19.99!  Don’t fuck this up!

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Paul’s Boutique is the second studio album from the Beastie Boys. In total, 105 songs are sampled, including 24 individual samples on the last track alone. Considered the “Sgt Pepper” of Hip-Hop by some critics and has been placed on several lists of the greatest albums of all time, and is viewed by many as one of the landmark albums in hip hop.  Some dude at KEXP decided they should play every sampled song.  It took 14 hours.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing of 2017 remix of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Produced by Giles Martin, the album’s new stereo mix was sourced directly from the original four-track session tapes. The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’ Anniversary Edition is 2017’s most celebrated historical music release.  On every top ten list, everywhere, for the best albums in history.  Not bad Beatles, not bad….

FINALLY got our hands on 5 copies of the Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing.

180-gram vinyl repressing of this classic 1985 album from Robert Smith and the boys. Features the hits ‘In Between Days’ and ‘Close to Me’ alongside fan favorites ‘Kyoto Song’, ‘Push’, ‘A Night Like This’ and many more. Part of the “What are the best 5 Cure Records” conversation.

The fifth studio album is a rock opera starring his androgynous bisexual alter ego Ziggy Stardust who is sent to Earth as a savior before an impending apocalyptic disaster.  Clearly it’s too late.  Support Life on Mars!

The debut studio album by one of Seattle’s favorite sons.  Released in 1967, it is considered one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music. It changed music.  It changed recorded music.  It changed everything.  It opens with “Purple Haze” and ends with “Are You Experienced?”  How was there a world before this record?

Double vinyl LP pressing. Collection from the late country great. The world was a better place because Johnny Cash lived in it, created in it and broke all the rules in it.  He was simply one of the greatest musical legends we will ever see or hear.  Putting his best songs on the player is why we love vinyl.  Grab this and find your inner man or woman in black.   I say “Must Own” a lot but this is Johnny Fucking Cash so you know what to do.  -John

Vinyl LP repressing. If you look up 1993 in the dictionary it should just be this playing. On this, the band’s second album, the core emphasis remained a nexus point between country, folk, psych, and classic rock all shrouded in mystery, and Hope Sandoval’s trademark drowsy drawl remained swathed in echo. The hit single “Fade Into You” brought Mazzy Star unprecedented success and made all of us masters of the mixed tape.

This 180g beauty captures one of the better musical moments ever recorded.  The performance was captured in one single take and a 14 song setlist. It is ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time.  Putting this on your player, sitting back and hearing Nirvana in all of its stripped down glory is everything.  When “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” ends you feel like you’ve lost a friend but you can start over with “About a Girl” tomorrow.

The album – which celebrates it’s 25th Anniversary this year – received wide critical acclaim on release, with nominations for Grammy Awards and the Mercury Music Prize. Reissue is faithful to the original recording and package.

The 2015 Paisley Park Remaster over seen by Prince himself COMPLETE with 1984 poster?!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  When Doves Cry?  Let’s Go Crazy?  Darling Nikki?  BABY I’M A STAR?  On vinyl.  Is there a better soundtrack?  Do doves cry? A purple motorcycle? Wendy and Lisa?  The surgeon guy?  AH!

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2010 reissue of the classic Stones album Regarded as one of the greatest albums in Rock ‘n’ Roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones’ catalogue. Upon it’s release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The original 18-track double-album was recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London, Keith Richard’s mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where the literal Main Street influenced the album title. These atypical circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the album’s outcome which was highly reflective and influenced by the sociopolitical turbulence that marked the late ’60s and early ’70s.

2019 was the band’s 35th anniversary and they celebrated with a 180-gram translucent red and gold vinyl reissue of one of the greatest NW albums of all time.  On sale and we have a few copies left.  Listen to what Seattle used to be.

The Ascension is the eighth studio album from singer, songwriter and composer Sufjan Stevens and is the long awaited follow-up to Stevens’ Carrie & Lowell. The Ascension is musically expansive and sweeping in thematic scope.  It’s a glorious combination of what made his last few records so great.  Must be heard on vinyl.

Talking Heads’ second album, co-produced by Brian Eno, blends funky bass, country, reggae and punk with David Byrne’s unique voice established the group as a critical success. Originally released in 1978, the album peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The single, a cover of All Green’s hit “Take Me to the River”, peaked at number 26 on the Pop Singles chart in 1979. This reissue version is pressed on 180 gram vinyl. It was cut at Bernie Grundman studios.

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Achtung Baby is the seventh studio album by U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991. Thematically, Achtung Baby is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. The album and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group’s 1990s reinvention, by which they abandoned their earnest public image for a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one.  You can have your Joshua Tree but Achtung Baby is the best.

The digitally remastered vinyl LP pressing of the Irish wonders’ live mini album, originally released in 1983 and considered one of the most important live records recorded. Songs include ‘I Will Follow’, ‘Party Girl’ and more. Universal.  Essential.

Moondance is the third studio album by the Irish singer-songwriter.  It was released on 27 January 1970.  This album marked his lively rhythm and blues which was the style he would become most known for in his career. The music incorporated jazz, soul, pop and Irish folk sounds into songs about finding spiritual renewal and redemption in such places as nature, music, romantic love, and self-affirmation.

Moondance was an immediate critical and commercial success. It helped establish Morrison as a major artist in popular music, among the most acclaimed records in history, Moondance frequently ranks in professional listings of the greatest albums.
