Days 1133-1136 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl I'm gonna conserve time & space by featuring 4 'new to me' Susan Raye albums in one go. Very enjoyable country artist, Bakersfield-Buck Owens sphere. Some wicked hairstyling for those so inclined, although tomorrow's is my fave.

Day 10 #RecordsOnTheShelf

Joan Armatrading - 'Back to the Night' and 'Me Myself I'

Julian Cope
My Nation Underground
1988

Probably his biggest attempt to go commercial. Still pretty enjoyable.

Day 1132 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl. On a quick visit to #YEG's Record Collectors Paradise this past week, I spotted a number of the Labatt Blue vinyl Octave in the bargain bin- like, 10 of them. Only in Canada? Pity. Plays ideally, and a better listen than some suggest.

Day 1131 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky The last album I feel I need for my collection of The Moody Blues on #vinyl. I know they released a few more, but I'll wait to find them in a charity shop one day, if at all. "Your Wildest Dreams" is, as far as I know, their final great song.

#RecordsOnTheShelf
The Clash
Combat Rock
1983

Got this from my brother who passed down about 20 LPs to me. Most of his records were mainstream bands I didn't care about, but this, this is gold, bay-bee!!! My favorite by the band after London Calling.

Rock the Casbah b/w Mustafa Dance
1982

Day 1130 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl One last album from last weekend. I had recently learned of the Louvin-Montgomery albums, but knew nothing about them. So I wasn't on the lookout for this particular lp, but when I saw if I decided it was worth the chance. And it was!

Day 1129 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl Not too many years ago, I had the complete Emmylou Warner Bros collection on vinyl. And then 2012-2013 happened. Now, piece by piece, dollar by dollar (in this case, $3) I am reacquiring them. Thirteen is in my Emmy Top Five.

Day 9 #RecordsOnTheShelf

Rod Argent
'Red House'

I bought this off of a guy at work who brought in a small crate of records. "This Is Radio Clash" is an all time favorite, but the deconstructed B-side is a mess.

Day 8 #RecordsOnTheShelf

Lynn Anderson
'Country Girl'

Day 1128 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl That's rock and roll, innit? As fine a three dollar purchase as I've made recently. Needed a copy after selling off my collection of Who albums in 2012, a year that will live in infamy. Plays with minimal noise.

Pardon the shine from the shrinkwrap. It's always good when Rosanne Cash & Rodney Crowell team up, and there are two Hiatt covers to boot! I got this one from my buddy Bob who was selling off his record collection.

Somewhere in the Stars
Columbia Records
1982

Day 1127 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl At the sale & swap this past weekend, I initially passed on this copy of The Gift because- well, I have the CD on the shelf & as far as I recall haven't listened to it since initial listen. But, I'm pleased I changed my wee mind. $5.

#RecordsOnTheShelf
Amazulu, (Self-Titled)

Day 1126 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl At the Dead Vinyl Society sale & swap yday, I came across a few lps I couldn't leave in the vendor boxes. The second of one of the finest 'one-two' blasts in rock n roll- Pretenders II: What Could Have Been. A great album- holds up.

#RecordsOnTheShelf

Herb Alpert - 'Rise' and 'Whipped Cream and Other Delights'.

I love when I find gems like this in the dollar bins of my local record store. Bremner played in Rockpile, and on Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Carlene Carter records. His sound is very similar to these other musicians and that's a great thing!

The Blasters
Over There (Live at The Venue)
1982
Slash Records

Short, but tight set of mostly covers!
