#mayvinylchallenge Day 3: Lucky find / hardest to acquire. Lotta candidates here. My original pressings of Mothers of Invention’s We’re Only in It for the Money and Violent Femmes we’re both lightning-strike finds: hard to find albums I’d had on my wishlist for years, and that I stumbled on while record shopping minding my own business with incredibly low price tags. ($11 and $8 respectively. ELEVEN American dollars for an original Mothers on Verve in perfect condition!? Really!) Tom Waits’s Nighthawks at the Diner was the result of a real search—I’d loved the album for over a decade and chased down a bunch of copies but found them lacking, until I met a guy in a record store who was selling his and met him a week later in a parking lot. And Saccharine Trust’s Surviving You Always is my only original SST, never been reissued, so I had to try a lot of eBay auctions before I finally found mine. I could go on, but I won’t. #frankzappa #violentfemmes #tomwaits #saccharinetrust #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_uzN7Ip0p_/?igshid=2j8hc8z1ii5f

Days #3076-3083 I took a little internet hiatus, don’t feel bad if you didn’t notice...even my wife didn’t (or at least she pretended not to in hopes this would just go away) but in an effort to not clog your feed I’m placing as many as I can together. #minorthread #tshirtwars #hudsonmowhawke #saccharinetrust #X #drunkinjuns #mazzystar #jesusandmarychain #superchunk #Oasis #digoutyoursoul #teenagerockinroadtrip #seasonsofyourday #damageandjoy #paganicons #butter

What’s the most obscure gem in your collection? On today’s #superfriendssunday, @underground_cavement asked us to pick a weirdo, something a bit obscure, different, or that sticks out in our collection. I went for the obscure side. Saccharine Trust’s Surviving You Always has never been reissued—though SST has kept the rest of the band’s work in print, this was issued exactly once on LP and cassette, and never again. It’s not really known why… could be some possible controversy about the content, but knowing SST, it’s always been my theory that they lost the master tapes. Saccharine Trust was part of the LA punk scene that produced Black Flag, X, Germs, Minutemen, etc. They’re Latino and bring an incredible avant garde jazz sensibility to their punk. I’ve loved them ever since hearing their track on The Blasting Concept, “A Human Certainty.” This might be their best album, but if you can’t find an original, you’re stuck with the vinyl rip on YouTube! I monitored eBay for about a year before finally winning one at a price I could live with. It’s my only original SST, and a treasure.
