The cover of “Rest your mind to the music -and let the Maersk Minds work for you!”. It is a photo of a man in an office, with a shit eating grin, looking at some paperwork while trying to casually “recline” in an uncomfortable manner, holding a futuristic looking remote.

The back cover and tracklisting of “Rest Your Mind to the Music”

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Various - Rest Your Mind to the Music -and let the Maersk Minds work for you!

Pretty restful for the most part, apart from dud or two. Makes my top 10 shipping company mixes. Maersk did NONE of my work while I listened to this.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Guy Cater - Change for Life

One of the best ‘album’ covers a thrift shop has delivered so far! I haven’t taken this for a test-ride yet, but open for suggestions as to what thing I should try change in 30 days!

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Lix - 3 Songs

Again, amazing for obvious reasons. I couldn’t find anything about this artist online - total bedroom project. I wonder if they would be stoked or mortified to see this today.

The tray of the J-card, reading “sorry it took so long I didn’t think anyone would order this. i can’t find the original art, i put it somewhere safe but by the time i finished recording i lost it.” and then some more stuff

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Allswither - HZATR

For obvious reasons!! If you want to smash Allswither with orders based on this that would be very very funny. They sell the cassette for very cheap here: allswither.bandcamp.com/album/hzatr

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Various - Channel Z: The Best Of, Volume 1

A kiwi classic that never had a good cover online. When I got this for $1 I told the cashier the CD was stolen from the case. Their face when I said I don’t care…

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Ngaa Kaihiki - Kia a Ihu: Unto Jesus

A downside of archiving junk (aka treasure) is the volume of Christian self-releases. Usually it’s just bad music.. but this one is nice! Not understanding Te Reo helps too.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Josephine Fisher - Guided Meditations

This CD-Rs cover made it an easy purchase. Pinecones and rubbish in a hole? While entering this I found that she died this year. It’s nice to connect with, and immortalise, local strangers.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Eclipse - On Track

This ticks so many boxes for me. Awkward cover picture. Covers album. Band name that has been taken by 1,000 other bands already. Heart-warming booklet. Good on ya, Chris and Larry!
