I’m #NowSpinning one new record while I wait for the delivery of another haul.
This is the #VinylMePlease issue of #Weathervanes, the latest by #JasonIsbell and the 400 Unit.
After getting into Isbell & the 400 via S/T (If We Were Vampires is just outstanding), I found Reunions to be a touch underwhelming & a little dad-rock-lite, truth be told. On a first listen, this is a lot more to my taste. #StrawberryWoman & #WhiteBeretta are standout.

I’m returning to this June’s #VinylMePlease drop & I’m #NowSpinning #Transatlanticism by #DeathCabForCutie.
This is an album I really wasn’t that familiar with, but it’s hugely grown on me. Which is a strength of these subscription services. They encourage you to seek out the less familiar.
And the title song is so, so good.
More generally, #VMP do a great job - bob on mastering, plush packaging, great customer service. What’s not to love?

Still making my way through June’s #VMP drop & so I’m #NowSpinning #HighTopMountain by #SturgillSimpson.
I’m generally so-so with country, but Simpson is an exception. Just love the bluegrass inflected vibes throughout this: just great melodies & razor sharp lyricism.
This is a #RyanKSmith cut &, once again, #VinylMePlease has done a great job. I’m normally indifferent when it comes to vinyl variations - but this really looks the part.

Heatwave back with a vengeance & I’m spinning #InHotHouse by #BenWebster.
While not hugely familiar with Webster, this live set is a total riot. It’s not quite a sonic marvel, but the thing is alive with the chink of drinks glasses, the mumble of the audience, & the stomp of the musicians as they kick into gear.
& the musicianship is really top notch: it swings, it rocks, it snarls.
This #VinylMePlease pressing is limited to 200.

Second #VinylMePlease record of the month, & I’m #NowSpinning #MonksMusic by the #TheloniusMonk Septet.
Now this is really exceptional stuff from an incredible line up: #ArtBlakey, #ColemanHawkins & #JohnColtrane.
& the music is white hot: Well, You Needn’t, & Off Minor being favourites. Whilst I love Monk It’s Monk’s Time - this is probably my favourite of his albums.
& #RyanKSmith has done a bang on job with this cut - rich & dynamic.

Just got a new bundle courtesy of #VinylMePlease!
First up, #Transatlanticism by #DeathCabForCutie. I’m a fan of #BenGibbard’s work with #ThePostalService, I was never as deep into Death Cab. However, listening to this a couple times, it does really resonate. The title track, The New Year, & Tiny Vessels are early stand outs.
In terms of the #vinyl itself, #VMP have done another great job. Detailed, dynamic with near silent blacks.

Change in mood & I’m #NowListening to #TheShapeOfJazzToCome by #OrnetteColeman.
I’m not particularly into free #jazz, & so Coleman loses me with his later stuff. But this is pitch perfect, original, incredible musicianship, but with more than enough hooks.
This #VinylMePlease reissue is mastered by #RyanKSmith & sounds incredible. I’ve been impressed with #VMP. Being based in the UK, I am paying a premium, but they do offer a premium product.

Hippo Campus - LP3
Here's a band that I wouldn't have found were it not for VMP. Sophisticated, melodic, pop - relatively synth-heavy but also kind of stripped back - they've been compared to Vampire Weekend, which doesn't really give the flavor of this LP, at least...but hints at the sound.

Sun is now shining & I’m #NowPlaying #TheThreeFacesOfYusefLateef by #YusefLateef. This is the 4th offering from this month’s #VinylMePlease bundle.
This album is new to me & on the third listen, there is plenty to enjoy. For me, the tracks with tenor sax are closer to being my jam, but there is also some decent #jazz flute here. The oboe is less my thing & will need further listens.
This is AAA cut by #RyanKSmith & sound as good as you might expect.

#NowListening to #ImWideAwakeItsMorning by #BrightEyes, the fourth offering included in this week’s #VinylMePlease bundle.
This is an album that I know well & love. I’ve other pressings with which to compare (incl. the 2005 #BernieGrundman cut). To my ears, the #VMP wins out: more dynamic with greater depth. The 2005 cut always struck me as a little flat.
The album itself is a modern classic imo - #FirstDayOfMyLife & #Lua are both stunningly good.

#NowPlaying #StarPeople by #MilesDavis, cut by #RyanKSmith, again, courtesy of #VinylMePlease (this being the third from this month’s bundle).
I’m very new to Miles’ electric period - it took quite a while for me to begin to get #BitchesBrew. This, from 1983, is a very similar vibe, but perhaps a little more accessible. The title track, for example, is recognisably blues scales & riffs.
Again, this is impeccably mastered, pressed, & presented.

This morning I’m #NowListening to the second of yesterday’s #VinylMePlease haul: #Nebraska by #BruceSpringsteen.
Not listened to Springsteen in a while, but this chimes most deeply with me. I have a thing for noir (Cain, Thompson, etc.) & this album just drips with it. IMO, his songwriting has never been better.
The #vinyl is, once again, impeccably pressed. High quality jacket, nice colour print included, booklet & sounds as good as this album can. Top draw.

#NowListening to #BlondeOnBlonde by #BobDylan, cut in mono by #RyanKSmith from today’s #VinylMePlease haul.
This is my 2nd listen & my only mono. The #VMP stands up well to my 1st UK stereo press and proves a compelling listen, cohesion, punch, & natural bass.
The #MobileFidelity, cut at 45, has more space, more detail - but it’s a silly comparison. That #MoFi doesn’t sound like any other version I’ve heard. Plus, it’s cut in stereo, at 45, from DSD.

Recuperating on a cold Monday afternoon, & look what has arrived courtesy of #VinylMePlease :)
This is my first #VMP bundle &, despite my aversion to subscription models, I’ve been sucked in by #RyanKSmith’s mono cut of #BlondeOnBlonde (perhaps my favourite Dylan album) & the 2023 offer of up to 8 free records with every subscription. I went with 6 months for 4 free records.
So far, everything is in order - no seam splits - I’m looking forward to listening.

Hey, it's a snow day here, so why not heat things up with the very cool album Cold as Weiss by the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio?
I wasn't aware of them until they showed up on VMP's Classics track. Fun album, good recording, flat, quiet pressing. Hard to ask for more!
