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

Finally got a copy for #johnsvinyl recently to #replaceCD. Waiting for the right time to spin it.

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Bruce Springsteen “Greetings from Asbury Park”

First spin of the day. I picked this up on Wednesday so I could listen for #5debutalbums7074 and to #replaceCD. It has taken me years to appreciate Bruce, given his jingoistic fan base of the 80s (they didn’t listen to his words!). But I’m definitely all in now. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Warren Zevon “Mr Bad Example”

First up this morning and a 2nd play this afternoon. An excellent Rocktober release from #Rhino. Picked it up recently from Zzz @zzzrecords.bsky.social Glad to have it in #johnsvinyl to #replaceCD. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Replacements “Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash”

Next up for #5debutalbums8084 (I’m still going!!). The ‘Mats 1981 debut missed me by a few years. I discovered them in 1984 with Let It Be (which I devoured). I bought this slab for this occasion to #replaceCD. It’s raw and loud. Glad to finally have it in #johnsvinyl. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Isaac Hayes “Hot Buttered Soul”

Next up for #5albums50s60sFinal. I recently picked this up for #johnsvinyl to #replaceCD. It’s a super cool record that I’m definitely enjoying. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The Jimi Hendrix Experience “Axis: Bold as Love”

My last slab from 1967 in #5albums50s60sFinal. Picked up this OP recently to #replaceCD I haven’t listened to it very frequently, so I’m glad to have it in #johnsvinyl. #nowplaying

I filled a couple of obvious holes in #johnsvinyl today. Thanks to Zzz in Des Moines #replaceCD @zzzrecords.bsky.social

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Phil Collins “Face Value”

Gated drums FTW! medium.com/the-technica...

Had to grab this clean copy yesterday to #replaceCD and add to #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

Good Sunday morning! Glad to have this one in #johnsvinyl to #replaceCD Picked up on sale at Rough Trade last week. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning blue vinyl record. John Coltrane “Giant Steps”

Last spin tonight for #5albums50s60s1 is this newly acquired slab to #replaceCD. Naima is one of my favorites and he plays it here with such feeling. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Nice! I’ve had that one on a longstanding list to add to #johnsvinyl and #replaceCD. How does the pressing sound?

The top 10 albums of 1970s according the astute voters in #5albums70sFINAL. I have 9/10 in #johnsvinyl. It’s time for me #replaceCD for BotT.

Next up for #5albums70sFINAL 64/100 from 1977. 1st spin of my recently acquired copy #johnsvinyl. It’s an early pressing from New Zealand to #replaceCD. It sounds great! #Clash #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Johnny Cash “American IV: The Man Comes Around”

Taking a short break from #5albums70s5FINAL before diving into 1972. Glad to finally have this in #johnsvinyl; it completes my American Recordings collection of #JohnnyCash to #replaceCD It’s the last released before his death and it’s probably the best. His version of Hurt is sublime. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Rush “A Farewell to Kings”

Last one for tonight. 1977 in #5albums70s5. I recently picked up this used slab to #replaceCD. I liked #Rush quite a bit as a teen and they have been re-growing on me in the last decade. This is a cool album, but I don’t like it as much as Hemispheres from ‘78. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. The 13th Floor Elevators “The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators”

Spinning another new acquisition to #johnsvinyl. Glad to finally have a copy to #replaceCD. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. MC5 “Back in the USA”

Next up for #5albums70s5. I picked this up a few months ago (new & sealed, to #replaceCD) but haven’t had a chance to spin it until now. So good and so prescient! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Outer sleeve snd spinning vinyl record. Paul and Linda McCartney “Ram”

I’m back to spinning wax for #5albums70s4 for the day. Going back to 1971 with this newly-acquired record to #replaceCD. Glad to have it in #johnsvinyl I’m loving the sometimes raw sound of Macca on this one. #nowplaying.

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Velvet Underground “1969: The Velvet Underground Live”

Been listening this 1974 release for #5albums70s4 on and off this afternoon (while successfully installing a ceiling fan!). It’s the 1st spin for this new repress that I picked up for #johnsvinyl on the big holiday UMe sale to #replaceCD. I love this live snapshot of VU from 1969. #nowplaying

It was in the categories of “free shipping to include it”, “hey, it’s only $18” and “I’d like to have that and #replaceCD”

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Lou Reed “The Blue Mask”

Spun this new acquisition to #johnsvinyl while I was assembling my records for #5albums70s3 earlier tonight. Glad to have it to #replaceCD. It was one of those ones I had kind of forgotten about since I didn’t have it on #vinyl. #wasplaying

Now that I’m home, I have gathered all of my records for #5albums70s3. Final tally is 45 in #johnsvinyl with an additional 17 in CDs and tapes. I have already ordered 2 new in #vinyl to #replaceCD. Here we go!

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Beck “Mutations”

Next up from my new addition stack. I’m happy to have this in #johnsvinyl so that I can listen to it more frequently. #replaceCD

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Peter Gabriel (self titled #1; Car)

First up today for #5albums70s2 #PeterGabriel in his ‘77 solo debut. Glad it’s now in #johnsvinyl Recently acquired for this poll to #replaceCD. I haven’t listened to it for a long time & now I can do more often. So much water under the bridge since PG recorded it but it still stands up. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. CAN “Tago Mago”

Next up. Also arrived today via @discogsofficial.bsky.social This is a two-slab reissue to #replaceCD. It sounds great. So happy to have it in #johnsvinyl #nowplaying #krautrock #CAN

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Richard Thompson “Across a Crowded Room”

Richard Thompson is a long time favorite of mine. I’ve seen him a few times and he’s always amazing. Picked this one up for $5 and giving it a first spin #johnsvinyl #nowplaying #replaceCD

One of many 90s albums being acquired for #johnsvinyl to #replaceCD.

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. New Order “Substance 1987”

Recently acquired #johnsvinyl I have all of requisite albums and most of the singles. But I needed to get this 2023 remaster to #replaceCD which means I will play it more. But actually the CD set won’t be fully replaced by the #vinyl since it has the other 12 tracks. #nowplaying

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Neil Young & Crazy Horse “Ragged Glory”

Next up in #newvinyl arrived over the past few weeks. This one’s been hard to not open up. But I waited for a time when I could spin all 3 disks. A favorite phase of #NeilYoung here. He’s leading into his 90s grunge period that will fully develop in a few years. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying #replaceCD
