The NON-RSD titles I picked up from my local shop today. Got everything I wanted in regards to the RSD stuff, but also these as well. Very excited about the SUPER CLEAN original stereo Otis Redding.Dirty Deeds and Strange Days are both flawless upgrade copies for ones I already have that are a bit banged up.The Fire Escape was a KILLER find, and a record rich with odd detail (which we’ll get into when I post it).And I LOVE that Tears For Fears song, and was more than happy to get the 12” (which has the full version of it), as well as cool U.S. remix of “Shout” as one of the b-sides. Record Store Day done right, baby. Not a bad year. 11 titles in total for yer old pal Ape 🦧.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #rsd #recordstoreday #recordstoreday2026 #rsd2026

@sfoskett if there’s any left over I can put one aside for you and we can work something out. I still think there’s one left at my shop. There was when I left, anyway.

@humanhorseshoes They absolutely do. Their shielding compares to recycled toilet paper. The speakers themselves however have magnetic shielding so they hopefully won't ruin my glorious 15" CRT.

Pokémon verscheen in februari 1996 in Japan. In Nederland moesten we wachten tot oktober 1999. Hoe werd de introductie in Nederland aangepakt? Een reconstructie op basis van vakbladen en kranten uit die tijd.#retro #pokemon #nintendo https://www.gamegeschiedenis.nl/2026/04/de-introductie-van-pokemon-in-nederland-deel-1/

Just a stray thought to piggyback off of my last Gram Parsons post. I realize how many artists have covered “Love Hurts”, but the best version clearly belongs to Gram Parsons (and Emmylou). The version on Grievous Angel has that stripped-down, aching country feel that really fits the lyrics of that song. It’s far less polished than say…the Nazareth version, but way more intimate sounding. Gram Parsons had a way of making heartbreak sound… almost noble.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #country #countryrock #folk #GramParsons #lovehurts #grievousangel

GRAM PARSONSGrievous Angel1974 Canada pressingAbsolute perfection for a sunny Monday afternoon. Released after Gram died and prominently featuring Emmylou Harris, it is the very definition of what “country rock” is. Or, as Gram liked to say, “Cosmic American Music”.I have a weird memory attached to this album. In the late 90s, we had a house party where about 75-80 people showed up.A good friend of mine brought her cousin (a girl 2 years her junior) to the party, & warned me:“My cousin is a VERY anxious & socially afraid person. She doesn’t really talk. So don’t be freaked out by her. She just RARELY talks. She just gets very anxious around people…”End of the night, we’ve got a fire going & 30 of us are around it. I played “Grievous Angel” on the acoustic, & when I finished a little tiny voice said “I love Gram Parsons”. It was my friends cousin.First & only words she said all night. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music
