In keeping with my goal of updating more frequently, I'm actually posting the new items I've found! Hooray!Neko Case - Middle Cyclone
Neko Case I've covered before so you know that she's the queen of alterna-country and basically incredible. This is her newest album (It came out a few months ago but her albums always come out in vinyl late) and while not as good as Blacklisted, it is still good. Give it a listen. This album also continues a nice trend of including a coupon for a free digital download. So your ipod can be happy too!
The Beatles - Beatles For Sale
This was a happy bonus from ordering the mono White Album I'll talk about below. When I opened the package there was a note from the seller telling me he was including this free. It's not mint, but it's easily VG+ and it's a first pressing. Glory be to ebay. No need to discuss the album, it's The Beatles, you know it.
Sara Watkins - Sara Watkins
This I bought without being a fan of Nickle Creek. I saw Sara play live with Fiction Family and she played the song "Long Hot Summer Day" and it was amazing. The rest of the album is a country throwback with lots of fiddle. It's good but twangy so if that's not your thing then stay away. However, everyone should check out "Long Hot Summer Day," it's great.
The Surfers - On The Rocks
I collect Surf Lp's and had never heard of this but it had a cool cover. It's all Hawiian music and it's nice but not really my thing. Maybe if I have a Hawiian BBQ or something.
The Beatles -Sgt Peppers
No Idea why I bought this. It's in great shape but it's not a 1st pressing. Stupid. It has the inserts though. Anyone want to buy it off me?
Elvis Presley - The Real Elvis
I love EP's and I like early Elvis music (his later stuff sucks). This is in great shape with a picture sleeve. Tiny little 4 song albums, so cool!
Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
Like the EP above, cool stuff!
The Beatles - The Beatles
The best find of the week. This is a UK White Album. Which is awesome by itself. But, this one is also Mono! In the US Mono had been fazed out by this time on Beatles records (making Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt Peppers quite valuable in mono). In the UK this and Yellow Submarine were issued in Mono (while Let it Be and Abbey Road were not). This is a pretty valuable record. It features some unique mixes of some songs (no false ending in Helter Skelter, no hand claps in Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, etc.) and is really fun to listen to. I've seen CD's of this going for way too much on Ebay and the records go for even more. So if you ever see it pick it up. It's a great item for hardcore Beatles fans.
