I feel like having another afternoon of recording some of my old records onto my PC. I hope the neighbours can stand my music, but having said that I think they’re both a bit deaf anyway.

I’ve never actually heard that Funky Worm single before, so that’ll be interesting! 😆 I only bought it because it’s a fairly early sleeve by The Designers Republic.

I keep forgetting that Underworld’s Moaner started off on the Batman & Robin soundtrack.

#NowPlaying The Modern Jazz Quartet with Laurindo Almeida, Collaboration (1964, Atlantic). If your #SilentSunday must have a soundtrack, this is the record for it. The mood is immensely chill from beginning to end, even the tunes with some pep are laid back. The MJQ is in top form form here, Milt Jackson’s signature vibraphone style and Almeida’s Brazilian approach to classical infused jazz guitar play extremely well together.

The Mystic Moods Orchestra – Highway One

I genuinely debated whether I was even going to post this one. First, I forgot how it ended up in my collection, and relatively recently. Looking at my Discogs, I found that it was a gift from Forever Changes, no doubt something I pulled from the dollar bin, possibly for my artist wife's use in a project on the patriarchy. More:

I have a large collection of #electronic and #computer #music #vinyl #records. I had a radio show on FM on the subject for about a decade. So it is always exciting to find something I don't have, especially early stuff. Found this 10" boxed "Music from Mathematics" from 1960, bell labs. Much more rare than 1962 Decca 12". Never seen it before. Found in a local shop, of all places, hiding inside a vinyl carry case.

Looking for advice. Want to buy a record player, most likely used. Probably something older (not antique, but not necessarily against it). Not sure what to look for, signs of quality, repairability, brand… send me you vinyl wisdom #music #records #music
