I just picked up _____ on vinyl!

Excellent new album from Nils Lofgren.  The balled "Nothin's Easy (For Amy)" with Neil Young doing back up vocals is terrific!

Beautiful artwork on all gatefold sides.

I bought several records recently and the last of them is this one that I played this evening.  As much as the others I've recently gotten are great, this is the one that sent me over the top.  What a terrific, beautiful, amazing record!  Richard Barone, Cool Blue Halo.  Barone is not a big name that everybody knows, but I would think for anyone in the New York music scene, especially musicians, he certainly must be well known.  He's played with everyone from Lou Reed, to Donovan, fronted his own band, The Bongos, and many more, and has put together various shows at places like Carnegie Hall.  Definitely a musician's musician and more.
 

So anyway, being a long-time fan, this one had somehow slipped past me and I STOKED to have this one, and absolutely LOVE this record! 

Richard Barone – Cool Blue Halo

Label:	Passport Records – PB 6058, Passport Records – PB6058
Format:	Vinyl, LP, Album
Country:	US
Released:	1987

Just outstanding in every way.  I have four excellent AB-1006 versions and this beats them easily.  When these were announced I knew there was lots of room to improve for Thrill,  Pretzel,  basically everything but Gaucho and Aja.  I was a little skeptical how much better it could get.  And the answer is, a lot better. 

I've been trying to resist this purchase.  I might have to cave.

Well, I caved.  I just gave it a first listen and it is quite amazing!  My copy is perfect is every way. Such a great listen!

Picked up a nice copy of Trans for a couple of bucks.

Cat Power Sings Dylan is a beautiful live recording. Highly recommend.

It's unreal how good it sounds. There are so many things going on in every song, and yet the imaging is crystal clear.

Nice!  If you like Trans (a lot of people don't- I think most of it is great), you might enjoy watching this (from around the same time) some time:

I thought about getting the 7" since I have an original of the LP, but the prices for that single are more than I want to spend for one song. 

In any case, a great album.  Never did understand why it went almost straight to the cut-out bins.

I have questions....

So they pressed the bonus track on the vinyl or it's a cd?  

Is the mix or anything different from the 2016 version?

It’s been added to the record. The Last Trip To Tulsa is now the last song on side 2.

I believe the mix is the same as the last reissue (from the second Original Release Series box). It has the same ORS 05 labels. The only difference is the clear vinyl and extra track.

thesoundofvinyl.us is doing another crazy just-pay-shipping sale.  shipping prices are worse than last time (think 10club prices) and there's no achtung or gigaton to be had for $4 this round, but if you grab 4 or more albums it gets down under $10 each before taxes.  and they've got uke songs deluxe (and regular), no one sings like you anymore (picture disc and regular black), stones, petty, pj harvey, mccartney, etc. don't sleep, stuff's selling out.

I was SO late to picking up on that album- only a few years ago.  What inspired me was watching this amazing film:

I absolutely love how the actors pulled off this re-enactment of live "Transmission":

It's excellent--  tragic ending, of course, but really well done.  Nice extras on the DVD as well.

Cool! I’ve got the 96 UK Single with the UNKLE Mix and Instrumental of Natural One, along with the OG mix. 

I’ll probably add this to the want list

Stopped by local place on Sunday for a hot second. Picked up rsd Lee scratch perry with kieth Richards. Also he had screaming trees. Now I do. Fun to hear the songs from ST that I forgot about. Did side A so far.  Really like LSP too. He's an acquired taste. Diff with kieth Richards playing guitar. Good stuff.
 
So I Def didn't do rsd, waiting early and stuff. But did still support my local guy.
