The new Rhino Hi Fi pressing of Paranoid sounds pretty damn beautiful. I wish I had the Vertigo pressing to compare. The numbered versions are sold out, but they will probably release the unnumbered soon.

@lexicondevil what is the difference between the numbered versions?

As far as I can tell, the numbered ones would just be earlier pressings. I haven't found anyone who has done a A/B comparison between the two. I'm glad I snapped up Paranoid. I missed out the the S/T numbered, but unnumbered is on the way. I'm really looking forward to hearing some of these other Rhino Hi Fi pressings. Actually feeling excited about records, again.

That is one i would have liked to hear.  Maybe i'll grab the first record.  I see they did a Doors run too.

Oh man, yes!  Cash, Cash, and more Cash!  Great records- wish I had them on vinyl, but the CDs do sound pretty good.

I already owned American II and IV, then V was on sale on Amazon for $13.90. Picked it up and promptly ordered I and III. Day after I posted these picks I decided to complete the American collection and ordered VI. Listening to all of them in order right now. While I get some might see V and VI being a bit of a posthumous cash grab, Im never going to complain about more material being released from this, his final era. Love what Rick Rubin was able to do with him. 

Yeah, Rubin is the man!  Love Cash's work with Petty, Campbell and Tench as well!

He is amazing. He also produced BloodSugarSexMagik   He completely changed the career trajectory of the Peppers. 

apparently Under The Bridge is a song he basically forced the band to write/record/release. Incredible. 

I'd like to read about that.  Frusciantes guitar work on that song is amazing.

The guitar work on the whole record is phenomenal.  I think that's what Rubin really did to advance them as a band.  Before they were pretty hard core but he pushed them to bring more nuance into their playing, focus on the funk, and it was really spectacular.  Plus the ordering of the songs is top notch, feeling like a flow/concept album.  It just feel like a groove that keeps moving.

Oooh, speaking of RHCP, I recently picked up a copy of Flea's memoir to add to my stack of "I can't wait to get to these books!":

I can't imagine the hedonism of those fuckers during the 80s and 90s.

True. Strange how some live recklessly, live through it and become successful. Others try to do the right thing and die or get completely f..ked.

Remember the old saying that cigarettes take seven minutes of your life?  

Someone once said that every time you smoke, Keith Richards gets those seven minutes.  I don't know how that guy is alive, but boy has he lived a good one.

Now, I want a smoke. Thanks a lot!

I remember as a kid finding people that smoked attractive. Something about not giving a darn about yourself. What a dummy!
Light em if you got em.

Over the top, for sure.  But from a quick browse, my sense about this book is that it is kind of a "redemption" story by a man who went to some very unhealthy places physically, psychically, and spiritually, and lived and went on to become a much more quality human being.  And I believe there will be a follow up to this book.

Also scored an early 1975 pressing of Zuma.  Despite some light scratches and scuffs (and a few brief clicks), this has so much more presence than the '86 repress that I've had for a long time.  Annie's digging it.  In the zone!

My vinyl buddy gave me a box of 45s

Loujoe

Holy heck. I love 45s. Great way to hear songs you never would have otherwise.

Loujoe

Dig the box
