Crowded House cover! Three guys, one of them shirtless with wings apparently being blown out of an electric fan, another in a red outfit, and a third in black with a guitar. They seem to be on a stage with a curtain being pulled aside to reveal them

Another great one: Crowded House! #nowspinning #onvinyl I just love Don't Dream It's Over so much.

My hand holding the sleeve for On the Beach by Neil Young. The cover photo is of a beach, looking forward the ocean. A flower pattern set of chairs, table, and umbrella are set up on the right closer to us. On the left in the back is a man facing away from us in white pants and a yellow jacket. Next to him is a pair of boots and a lounge chair. The strange detail is that next to the chairs in the foreground, the rear end of a car seems to be sticking up from under the sand.

Really glad I picked this one up. Such a great record.
#nowspinning #onvinyl On the Beach, Neil Young

The cover of ABOMINOG by Uriah Heep, which features a hideous demon face with mouth open and lots of fangs and slobber.

I tried to walk away without buying this, but I couldn't say no to that face. 😊 #nowspinning #onvinyl ABOMINOG by Uriah Heep.

Front cover, which features a giant dragonfly- like monster tearing apart a futuristic city at sunset

Credits on the back cover. Three different guys play Moogs!

#nowspinning #onvinyl Images at Twilight by Saga. I picked this one up a while back based on the album art alone. If you want to know what it sounds like, note that three different guys are credited with playing Moogs, then imagine Yes at its cheesiest. I kind of love it. 😅

The front cover of Sister by Sonic Youth. Another series of seemingly unrelated photographs in rectangular frames. A black and white photo of a woman stretched out on a wooden floor, not wearing much. A couple of dogs. A comet streaking across the sky.

Back cover of Sister by Sonic Youth. Features a series of seemingly unrelated photographs - a naked baby jumping, cattle in a field, a planet with a ring around it, buildings, a city street, a scientific instrument.

Making some lunch, spinning some tunes. #NowPlaying #onvinyl Sister by Sonic Youth

Three ladies hailing a cab in the city! It's the album cover for the hot rock by Sleater-Kinney. Their name and the album name are written across the top in red.

#nowspinning #onvinyl a super underrated album: The Hot Rock by Sleater-Kinney. Just killer stuff.

The cover of Vol 4 by Black Sabbath. It's a black background with a figure in yellow wearing a garment with big loose sleeves and holding up his arms. The band name and title are written on big blocky white letters that run around the left side, the top, and the top right corner.

A photo inside the album gatefold. It's a picture of a young Ozzy on stage at a live show. The lighting is kind of reddish purple. He's holding a Mic and smiling off to the side, his teeth showing and his mouth a little open. He has long hair and he looks quite happy.

Paying tribute tonight to the Prince of Darkness. Thank you, Ozzy. #nowspinning #onvinyl Vol. 4, Black Sabbath.

Today was a good day at the local record store: I picked up a first US pressing of Ministry’s The Land of Rape and Honey. Excellent album with some absolute classics on it.

#Ministry #IndustrialMusic #IndustrialMetal #Metal #ElectronicMusic #UncleAl #RecordCollecting #OnVinyl

Cover. It's red on red, the text looks handwritten in crayon. Fiona Apple When the Pawn

The interior sleeve has a black and white photo of an unoccupied studio, with a chair, a Mic stand, scattered other studio stuff. Written across this photo in faded white text is the full title of the album: When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring There's no body to batter when your mind is your might So when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right

#nowspinning #onvinyl When the Pawn, Fiona Apple.

The cover of AM. It's a black background with squiggly white lines on it on a pattern sort of like lenses or a bra.

#nowspinning #onvinyl AM by Arctic Monkeys. ❄️🐒🐒

The cover of Hail to the Thief by Radiohead. It's a painting that's a multicolored trash pile of words with a streaked sky above.

Know what's a great album? This album right here. #nowspinning #onvinyl HAIL TO THE THIEF, Radiohead.

The cover of the album. Tom Petty is standing off to the left in a red shirt and black jacket, holding a guitar in front of himself. He's smiling with his head tilted to the side. The background is solid red. TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS is written in all caps in white on the top right corner. Below it, just above the neck of the guitar, in black cursive is the album title.

#nowspinning #onvinyl Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Damn the Torpedoes!

The cover! It's very dark, sort of bluish with a light in the center near the bottom. It seems to be the moon reflected on a pool of water. Andreas' name is up top in all caps and the album title smaller beneath

#nowspinning #onvinyl Down to the Moon by Andreas Vollenweider. This was one of the first albums my family owned in CD - I suspect just because it was available on CD and my dad is an early adopter. 😅 But I've always enjoyed it.

Black and white photo of the two dudes in Tears for Fears, looking very 80s with their curly hair. In the top right it says in white text TEARS FOR FEARS Songs From The Big Chair

#nowspinning #onvinyl Tears for Fears, Songs from the Big Chair

The cover of mountain goats' Beat the Champ. A great background, title and artist up top in black. A large crowd watches as a wrestler in orange trunks in red boots delivers a flying kick to the face of a masked wrestler in black and green. A ref in black and white looks on, arm up.

Got one of my favorite Mountain Goats records #nowspinning #onvinyl. BEAT THE CHAMP on two 45s.

The cover, which is a black and white photo of the band standing in a random, scattered configuration in an empty field. The closest guy, with dark hair is holding a concertina (i think that's what that is) and looking very solemn and thoughtful like he's whispering secrets to it.

The back cover is a continuation of the photo from the front cover. The arm and side of one band member is peeking in on the right side. Mainly what we see is a dirt road winding away and a ramshackle farmhouse in the distance off to the left. At the bottom of the photo the track list is scribbled in black cursive

#nowspinning #onvinyl local boys The Hooters, One Way Home. I had this on cassette growing up, I'm pretty sure.

Hall and Oates are lounging casually in a living room, apparently writing songs, as the mustache one has a guitar and the other one is writing in a notebook. There's what looks like maybe a computer on the coffee table, and a prominently placed box of Ritz crackers. Also a bottle of wine. In the background is a strange city scape and above it a UFO.

The back cover features Hall and Oates with the UFO still hovering above them, but now they appear to be at the top of some kind of column or balcony looking down on something. There's an insignia on the column in shiny silver that looks kind of like a star with wings

#nowspinning #onvinyl Hall and Oates, Bigger Than Both of Us. Oh no, Hall and Oates, look out, you're about to be abducted! Anyway this is a pretty fun record

The front cover. Fripp is standing on the right side in a black suit and black tie with a striped shirt. He's smiling but not really. Filling the space behind him is a close up of a face looking off to the left. It's kind of a blue and white photo

The back cover features a grainy blue and white photo of Fripp apparently in the same suit and tie as on the front cover. We see his head and shoulders and he's looking off to the left.

#nowspinning #onvinyl Exposure by Robert Fripp, best known as the driving force behind King Crimson.

Front cover. Black and white. Fleetwood Mac across the top in a spidery kind of font. Picture is of a doorway to nowhere, in front of it a very tall man on the left looking very fancy in a suit and tails and holding a cane and sipping something. To his right is a very short man (in fact, a regular sized man on his knees with shoes sticking out) who is juggling glass balls

The back cover, in the black and white again. A photo of the band apparently standing in front of the sinks in a public restroom (??) And looking very young and innocent and 70s.

The disc itself. Side one is just the photo from the front of the album cover

Side two of the record is the photo from the back cover

#rsd2025 #nowspinning #onvinyl Fleetwood Mac picture disc!

The cover. It's yellow with a huge grainy photo of a baby doll head with a big blue tear drawn on it dripping out of its right eye. It also has had red lipstick drawn on its lips. Above the head is WILLIE DIXON in big block red letters. Above that is the album title in much smaller letters

Back cover of the album, yellow again. A short paragraph talking up Dixon and his influence, a small b&w photo of him looking seriously bummed, and under that the track list

The record. It's orange!

Another #rsd2025 purchase: Willie Dixon, What Happened to My Blues, #nowspinning #onvinyl

The cover of King by Belly. It has kind of a gambling/ casino theme, with two dice, one red and one green, sitting on a shiny platter, and other dice floating around, some of them reflections. There's also The symbols of cards suits - spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts - scattered across the top in thin white outlines

The back cover of King. The thin white outlines of cards suits continue here across a green background. There's an image of billiards balls on the left, above them a track list

The record itself on the turntable. It's a lovely green! 💚

#nowspinning #onvinyl The #rsd2025 pressing of Belly's King.

Record in the sleeve. A picture of the band is on the disc itself. They are looking very snazzy and like they might beat you up if you said the wrong thing. Lots of solid colors, Fred in blue, another guy in black, another in red and black. The background is bright banana yellow

The disc out of the sleeve, picture of the band now more visible. So yellow!

The second side of the record has a guitar and a piece of sound equipment on it (sorry I don't know what that is, maybe just a radio?) Still with the bright yellow background

Time for another #rsd2025 pickup. This is the self-titled album from The B-52s on picture disc #nowspinning #onvinyl

ATOMIC ROOSTER, the album. That's written across the top in a green, futuristic font. The illustration is of a large bird of prey, mostly green with blue throat and red head. It also has prominent human female breasts. Its wings are open and claws spread and beak open as if it's diving to kill, but it appears to be imprisoned in a clear glass box that's hovering in the air. To the right and below is a yellow chair

The back cover. It's a story of greenish yellow with portraits of the band member's faces in green floating in various spots, angled to the right. The head of the bird from the front cover is also floating detached up on the right.

My friends, it's time for ATOMIC ROOSTER!! This is their self-titled record, which I just found in a shop in Rehoboth Beach. #nowspinning #onvinyl

The cover of the record, which appears to be a photo of Tori and her hands at a table at a restaurant/bar. Tori is in the center, flanked by men with silvery beards. Everybody is holding drinks. They look happy. There's a red bar along the right edge with tori's name and the record's title printed on it.

The record. It's a story of warm brownish tan.

#nowspinning #onvinyl Tori Amos, Diving Deeper Live EP from #rsd2025

The cover. A high ceiling corridor lined with doorways, apparently made of stone. Grim and ominous. Across the top is a purple and black layered image of someone facing left at the left, an upside down face looking at us in the center, and a silhouette with a guitar on the right

#rsd2025 #onvinyl #nowspinning Tim, The Replacements, on purple vinyl

Cover of the album is in green and black. It's a front on view of a car parked on a rural road with trees nearby

The extremely green vinyl disc

Let's get nerdy! Some math rock from #rsd2025 #NowPlaying #onvinyl. It's Tweez from Slint! On very green vinyl

The cover! It's black with THE SWORD in a silver metallic Star Wars kind of font. Warp Riders is underneath in red. Then in a square in the bottom center is a lovely science fiction illustration of a small oblong spaceship floating by some asteroids with a planet in the background. Space looks very red for some reason

The back cover. Track list up top, then another sci-fi illustration in a box below. A dark landscape with red orbs sticking up, and then a planet with a ring slicing across it diagonally in the sky to the right. The stars or other, brighter planets shine distantly in the center back

Side 1, which is intriguingly labeled Part I. It's red with a big splash of pale yellow in the center, and then a black paper label on the center of that

Side two, or part II, looks like the other side, but with a lot more red and just a little of the pale yellow swirled in

#rsd2025 #nowspinning #onvinyl THE SWORD - WARP RIDERS. Beautiful shiny cover, deliciously colorful vinyl, head-slammingly great tunes. 🤘

The album cover. What is it? Hard to say. It looks like maybe a blurry, translucent image of a person raising their hands up near their face, but it's all very unclear. There are shapes with feathery edges in yellow and pinkish purplish. It's on a black background and in the corner is THE CURE in a blue skeletal font

Side A of the album is that strange image again like yellow hands on a black background, with wings or smoke surrounding it

The album sleeve with the record removed. In the center you can now see the album title showing through from where it's printed in the inside back - THE HEAD ON THE DOOR in that same skeletal, psychedelic font, with the colors merging and fading from blue to white to yellow to purple-red

#rsd2025 #nowspinning #onvinyl
It's The Cure! The Head on the Door. Some real classics on this one.

Rage Against the Machine, Live on Tour 1993. The cover is a black and white photo of the band wailing away on stage, singer and bassist in mid-leap, drummer looking like he's about to murder his kit.

Back cover of the album. Track list and another black and white photo of the stage, this time without the band. A large upside down American flag is hung next to the drum kit. It has an anarchy symbol on it and the words, FAILED FAILED YOU'VE BEEN TRICKED

Inside the gatefold is another black and white photo of the band on stage going crazy. Tom Morello is knees to chest in mid-air, about to break it down hard. The upside down flag is there in the background

I've been craving some Rage #onvinyl so when I saw this #rsd2025 release, I decided to go for it, even though I'm usually not a big live album guy. It's good, man. Visceral and angry. Makes you want to riot.

Cover of the album. A pink flower with a yellow center on a black background. Looks almost like it was cross-stitched?

The back cover. The same flower from the front, but now on a more colorful background of other flowers and leaves

The record. It's bright yellow with a white center with the track titles written in black and poking out like spokes

Next up from #rsd2025, a yellow vinyl pressing of Post Malone's Tribute to Nirvana, broadcast as a live stream to raise money for the World Health Organization. #nowspinning #onvinyl
