#lp collection

It came with a lot of extras like behind the scene stuff, cel scans of some of the scenes in the show/movie and even a calendar. What gets my interest is that this is one of the very rare moments where you can see the TV-series in HD since Toei animation won’t rescan most of their old shows.

SOUNDGARDEN Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path (Vinyl Box Set)

via The Sound of Vinyl

>>

The collection was curated and hand-selected by guitarist Kim Thayil. Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path is the first time an official Soundgarden release has included more than 26 years of rarities that have appeared as B-sides, album bonus tracks, EPs, soundtracks, compilations and live recordings, a must for any fan of the band.

LP 1 & 2 , dubbed “ORIGINALS,” is filled with Soundgarden-written songs, mainly B-sides along with some soundtrack and compilation selections in addition to two unreleased songs on vinyl which go back as far as “Sub Pop Rock City,” originally included as part of the 1988 compilation, Sub Pop 200. The two unreleased tracks on this disc are “Kristi,” a 1996 outtake from the Down on the Upside sessions which is reportedly drummer Matt Cameron’s favorite Soundgarden song, and “Storm,” a brand-new track recorded in early 2014.

LP 3 & 4, “COVERS,” offers a stellar showcase of songs from bands who Soundgarden love and admire, from classic rockers The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix and Sly and the Family Stone to punk pioneers The Stooges, the Ramones, Fear and DEVO. Showing their sense of humor, Soundgarden also cover songs by Spinal Tap and Cheech & Chong. The two unreleased tracks include the Beatles’ “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide…” and the Sly Stone track “Thank You…”, both of which were originally recorded for a BBC Radio 1 John Peel session in 1989.

Hey! I guess this is my first official vinyl collection update of 2019 ^^ Didn’t expect the first update to be so far into the year. There hasn’t been any album releases this year that I was thrilled with so I guess that’s part of the reason why. I’m honestly a bit disappointed in the stuff that’s been released so far this year. I was planning on buying James Blake’s new album, but he didn’t even release it as a vinyl :c But anyway, now I’m here with an update, and I can’t wait to share it with you, ‘cause I got some pretty nice things ^^

Nothing But Thieves’ self-titled debut-album (White coloured vinyl)

This one is special to me. I got it from my boyfriend at Christmas (so technically this one’s from last year) I remember I showed him this album about a year after it came out, and we both loved it and listened to it together a lot.  I guess he probably bought it, because he knew it was something he would like to listen to, and probably also because he knows I’m a sucker for coloured vinyls :p

Favourite tracks: Drawing Pins and Itch

Alex Turner’s EP ‘Submarine’ (10″ vinyl)

I remember I discovered this album when I was in my Arctic Monkeys phase. I was pretty obsessed with their music, and when I found out that Alex Turner had made the soundtrack for a movie i of course had to hear it (and watch it). I fell in love with the soundtrack (not so much the film) and to this day this album is still one of my favourites to sing along to :)

Favourite tracks: It’s hard to get around the wind and Hiding tonight

flor’s album ‘come out. you’re hiding’ (Signed vinyl)

This is the third version of this album that I have bought. I’ve told the story already about how I ordered the coloured version and they sent me the regular one, but towards the end of last year I found out that they had released a signed version of the album as well - so obviously I had to have that as well c: I actually thought it was the coloured vinyl with a signed cover, but it turned out to be the regular coloured record. So what I did was, I took the coloured one and put in the signed cover ;) Smart, I know. I’m planning on selling the other two, so if you’re interested in buying them you can just message me ^^

(I know I already posted pictures of the back and the record but I’ll just post them again anyway)

Mark Solborg, Evan Parker & Herb Robertson’s album ‘The Trees’ 

This one’s a bit different. I went to a concert with Evan Parker, Mark Solborg and Peter Bruun a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was incredible. I think the concert was about 40 minutes, and all of it was improvised. It was mesmerizing. But also hard for me to comprehend. They had several different records for sale, so of course I had to buy one. I went with this one, because it featured all of them, and the concert we had just heard was based around the same concept, I was told. I don’t imagine it’s gonna be my most played record, but it’s a nice souvenir, and great inspiration ^^

Favourite tracks: Skyrækker No. 1 and Apples, Apples

Nirvana’s Single ‘Come As You Are’ (Picture disc)

This one’s also a bit different. I got it for my birthday from one of my friends :) I’ve never seen a picture disc before (I do have the SBTRKT one which is kinda similar), so this is very special. I was confused at first ‘cause there was no cover for it, but I guess it makes sense, ‘cause it’s something you want to display (I was told that you’re not supposed to play it) It’s definitely one of the coolest looking records I own ^^

Favourite tracks: Endless, Nameless and Drain You (Live)

I know we’re already a couple of days into 2019, but I actually got some more records right at the end of 2018, that I’d like to share with you - so this isn’t technically the first vinyl post of 2019, consider it the last of 2018 ;)

I got most of these for Christmas, so most of them are older albums that I had put on my Christmas wishlist. Some of these are among my favourite albums of all time, so I really hope you enjoy :D

Disclosure’s EP ‘Moonlight’ (Limited edition 180 gram 12″ vinyl) 

I know what you’re thinking; “Oh, you only got this ‘cause it says ‘limited edition’ on it, right?” That’s not entirely true. Yes, it was a deciding factor in me buying it for myself as an early Christmas present, but also; it’s SHINY! (so shiny in fact, that it was quite difficult to get a decent pic without my own reflection on it) I’m kidding, of course. All of the songs on this EP are great! They were originally released as singles throughout 2018, and then I guess they decided to release it as an EP. You can’t find the EP on Spotify or iTunes, so I guess it’s kind of a vinyl exclusive :) I like their new sound a lot, my only complaint is that I wish there were more than 5 songs c:

Favourite tracks: Funky Sensation and Where Angels Fear To Tread

Incubus’ album ‘Make Yourself’ (180 gram 2LP)

This was the first album by Incubus I ever heard. I don’t understand why I hadn’t heard about them until a couple of years ago, but I’m glad I found them, ‘cause their music is so interesting. This record, and the rest of the ones in this post, are all ones that I got for Christmas. For me, this album has some very distinct memories linked to it. I had just moved out, and was trying to find myself, and I think this album helped me in a way. So I’m glad I now have it in my possession :)

Favourite tracks: Make Yourself and I Miss You

Incubus’ album ‘Morning View’ (180 gram 2LP)

Of course I had to have this album as well. I guess I was looking back at my Incubus phase with a kind of nostalgia when I made my wishlist for Christmas c: I think these two albums look great in my collection, but of course it’s mostly because of the music on them, that I wanted to have them. I think this album in particular is quite experimental, which I really love! It’s also less pessimistic than ‘Make Yourself’, which is nice sometimes. 

Favourite tracks: Echo and Wish You Were Here

SBTRKT’s self-titled debut album

This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Not only is the artwork amazing (the inside matches the yellow on the cover c:), but the music is so interesting and different. This album reminds me of driving through the city at night while looking up at the streetlights. I actually made an entire playlist that’s basically inspired by the sound of this album. I haven’t made it public yet, but I’ll look into getting that done, ‘cause I’ve found a lot more music with the same kind of vibe, that I would love to share with you :)

Favourite tracks: Pharaohs (feat. Roses Gabor) and Hold On (feat. Sampha)

SBTRKT’s album ‘Wonder Where We Land’ (2LP)

I can’t decide if I like this album more than the previous. I think the cover art of this album looks absolutely stunning, but it’s hard to compare the music on it, even though it is the same artist. I think this album is more experimental, which is a big plus for me :) It has the same kind of ‘city’ vibe, but it’s also very varied, whereas the songs on his debut-album feel like they have more of a connection to each other. But I think I can say for sure, that this is the most amazing-LOOKING album in my collection - but since I can’t even pick a favourite between my two SBTRKT albums, there’s no way I can pick the best-SOUNDING album in my collection - the different types of music I have are just too hard to compare.

Edit: I posted this before actually listening to it on my record player, so I didn’t notice the beautiful design on the back of the second record. It’s probably the most awesome-looking record I have in my collection ^^

Favourite tracks: NEW DORP. NEW YORK (feat. Ezra Koenig) and Gon Stay (feat. Sampha)
