Day 1152 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl Traded for this rather beat-up Combat Rock (vinyl is just dandy) the other weekend. Will likely replace if I find a pristine copy for the right price. Good listen, but like all albums from The Clash, not essential TO ME. YMMV.

The late '70s and '80s were a sweet spot of some great all time Lowes!

Day 1151 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl Picked up this lovely Valerie June album. Love her voice and approach to music. A fellow vendor asked me to describe her music. I suggested Americana Soul, realizing that doesn't come close.

Beats International
'Let Them Eat Bingo'

... this is jam hot.

Day 1150 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl 1 of a handful $3 pickups from the weekend. Cold buy; only purchased because I recognized the band name (Canadian, older cousins era) but mostly because Terry Black & Laurel Ward are listed in group; not sure I hear them, but good to have.

Day 1149 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl Greatest record? No. Greatest bluegrass banjo album ever made? Could be. Thrilled to find this classic- I have on CD, but the black spinning disc makes these tunes come alive. Have admired the album jacket for years. Design simplicity.

Day 23 #RecordsOnTheShelf
The Beatles Box

Day 1148a #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl I may have purchased (y'day) and listened to today the greatest record ever made. Will listen again tomorrow to ensure it isn't just recency bias, but damn Folkways had it going on in 1957!

Day 1148 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinylsky #vinyl A 1979 issue of Emmy Lou Harris' debut album. She has disavowed this album, and it certainly isn't where she would get, but it is a good listen for academic reasons if nothing else.
