Sweet trip through the record stores of Seattle yielded the one that got away, the one that just came out, the stereo one I needed, and the coolest EP ever.
Into the Wild
I'm not going to review this album because the last time I listened to it I didn't like it. I'm going to listen to it again so if I end up liking it now I'll update this post. I will however say that I never should have been buying this album this late in the game. When this album first came out I actually happened to walk into Easy Street just browsing and had it in my hand because there was a sign saying "Limited Pressing One to a Customer" and it was Pearl Jam's front man. So I was going to buy it for 20 bucks and then thought "Why buy this, I don't like it!" So I put it back. Later the same day I realized it was going for 300 bucks on ebay and went back to the store. Too late. So this has plagued my mind every time I go to a record store. Not anymore! Sonic Boom had it still sealed (for more than 20 but tons less than 300). So I am now complete.

Outburst!
I love this album. It's 2nd only to "Wailers Wailers Everywhere!" as my favorite Wailers album. This is in their harder more rocking days and even though the first track begins like a Monkees song I promise the album is outstanding. I've always thought that The Wailers had really unique and interesting harmonies and you can see those here on the quieter tracks like "Think Kindly Baby." The standout rocker is the title track to their previous album "Out of Our Tree." United Artists must have wanted in on that as this was their first album on the new label. I really love the song "Hold" and it's psych-rock sound. Good stuff. This is the more valuable stereo pressing of the album to go along with the mono copy I already have. 2 more to go and I've got them all!

I'm not going to write much about this album because I also got the Delux Edition that has this and much more and that will get its own seperate post. I had to get this as well because the cover is different than what I already have. I'm ridiculous. Awesome album features the mastered for vinyl by Bob Ludgwig audiophile pressing! Also includes a new mix of the album by their current producer that is really quite good. More in that post.

Magical Mystery Tour
The coolest EP ever. This is the British version of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album or rather the American "Magical Mystery Tour" is our version of this British EP. When Parlophone offered Capitol this EP, they were sick of putting out EP's because nobody was buying them. So, they took this EP and added a series of singles to create the "Magical Mystery Tour" LP. The British version however is just side 1. It has two 45 rpm discs in it and a lyric book like we see in the LP. It's really a cool little package and even though I already had one, this was too cheap to pass up.
