Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Blood, Sweat & Tears (1968) s/t
Motivated by the #500songs Patreon episode on Blood, Sweat & Tears, I’m spinning this one to start my day. @500songspodcast.bsky.social Notwithstanding whatever BS happened in the band, this is a record with some great tunes. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
I really enjoyed it this morning on my way to work! Glad that you expanded the episode! I’m adding Colin Blunstone’s debut solo album to my #johnsvinyl wantlist. #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social
As of yesterday, I have listened to all of the regular episodes of #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social starting from ep. 1 in mid-October. I’ve also listened to many Patreon episodes, but I’m now listening to them all in reverse chronological order Thanks Andrew! @andrewhickey.500songs.com
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Desmond Dekker & The Aces (1969) “Israelites”
Reminded by the Jimmy Cliff episode of #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social that I have this one in #johnsvinyl —so let’s give it a spin! #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Jimmy Cliff and others (1972) “The Harder They Come” (soundtrack)
It was meant to be. Earlier today, I was actually listening to the awesome Jimmy Cliff episode on #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social when I visited a record shop (Vinyl Stop) I had just learned about in Grinnell Iowa. This record was on the wall. Now it’s at home in #johnsvinyl and #nowplaying
Listening to yet another amazing episode of #500songs today! @500songspodcast.bsky.social The way Andrew cleans up the multiple MFs throughout the episode is absolutely hilarious. Martin Feldman, anyone?

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Fairport Convention (1968) s/t
Another awesome pick-up from Zig Zog’s today. What luck—I just finished listening to the Fairport Convention episodes this week on #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social FC’s 1968 debut is pre-Sandy Denny #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Just finished another absolutely epic episode of #500songs on the #Beatles white album era. @500songspodcast.bsky.social Some familiar ground, much not. All told with heart.
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Janis Joplin (1969) “I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!”
I’m continuing to listen to my #johnsvinyl qualifiers for #5debutalbums50s60s for the next few days—I have a few from ‘67 & bunches from each of ‘68 & ‘69. Starting here because I just finished listening to the as-always excellent #500songs episode @500songspodcast.bsky.social on Janis. #nowplaying
Just finished another excellent—and in this case, very moving—episode from the #500songs podcast. Andrew Hickey’s gentle telling of Barrett’s story was both informative and touching. @500songspodcast.bsky.social
Started yesterday and finished today. An absolutely epic episode of the amazing #500songs podcast! @500songspodcast.bsky.social. #Beatles
This all because of my listening to the #500songs podcast. There are at least four semi-district periods covered ‘50-‘64. And I don’t have any doo-wop.
Woah. This will be tough! #5debutalbums50s60s. Good thing I’ve been preparing by listening to the excellent #500songs podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Rolling Stones (1965) “Out of our heads”
Another excellent #500songs podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social, followed by a spin of this classic. The US version included Satisfaction. My mono OP sounds pretty good! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Beatles (1965) “Help!”
Just finished this excellent episode on the #500songs podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social and had to spin Help! (released exactly a fortnight before i was born!) #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning red vinyl record. Curtis Mayfield (1972) Super Fly
Partly inspired by Episode 124 of #500songs (“People Get Ready”, The Impressions & early Curtis Mayfield) @500songspodcast.bsky.social, giving this a spin. Picked it up recently to #replaceCD and giving it a 1st spin. So good. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Beach Boys (1963) “Little Deuce Coupe”
Continuing to be inspired by the #500songs podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social I picked this up last week and giving it a 1st spin. #BeachBoys #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
I’ve been so good with not looking forward while I catch up. I’m on episode 124 today. Maybe I’ll break my rule for this one and skip ahead. RIP Bob Weir. #500songs
Vinyl record spinning. The Tokens (1964) “Wheels”
Front image of outer sleeve from vinyl record. The Tokens (1964) “Wheels”
Unearthed this one from a pile with no outer sleeves in #johnsvinyl. Turns out to be a decent surf/drag record that cleaned up pretty nicely on the #humminguru Cover image from Discogs @discogsofficial.bsky.social #500songs #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Elvis Presley “Elvis’ Golden Records”
Commemorating another birthday today. #Elvis would be 90 if still alive, but he didn’t even make it halfway there. My appreciation for Elvis has increased after learning more about him on the #500songs podcast. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Wanda Jackson “Rockin’ with Wanda!”
VERY excited to find this one today at Zzz in Des Moines @zzzrecords.bsky.social. I’ve been looking for some early Wanda ever since hearing about her on the #500songs podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social
#johnsvinyl #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Wanda Jackson “In Person”
My first (of many, I hope) #WandaJackson record in #johnsvinyl. This is a 1969 recording with more country than rockabilly, it’s super fun! #500songs #nowplaying.
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Jackie Wilson “By Special Request…”
Ameliorating a hole in #johnsvinyl with some Jackie Wilson. It’s a 1961 release, so I’ll have to also grab some of his earlier stuff too. #500songs #nowplaying
Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Gerry and the Pacemakers “Greatest Hits”
Another inexpensive pickup yesterday inspired by #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
I’m currently on episode 110 of the absolutely excellent & consuming podcast @500songspodcast.bsky.social And of course its creator Andrew Hickey @andrewhickey.500songs.com is central to its wonderfulness. Hearing him being interviewed by Rick Rubin is an extra treat. #500songs
Lots of interesting details about #BertBerns in this excellent #500songs episode @500songspodcast.bsky.social
Wow. I didn’t know the back story until today. And it’s shocking. #500songs @500songspodcast.bsky.social
