089 & 090. Erasure - Oh L'amour & Victim of Love #vinyl singles

Love Erasure. This is their third single, but it's still one of my favorites of theirs. I knew of Vince's links to Depeche Mode & Yaz/Yazoo and so this was a slam dunk for me. The Victim single is my wife's she's a fan, too. ☺️

Behind the turntable is Erasure's 'Oh L'Amour' specially priced maxi-single cover featuring a minimalist design with the band name 'erasure' in red outlined lower-case letters and 'OH L'AMOUR' in green all-caps serif text below it against a black background. The text 'SPECIALLY PRICED MAXI-SINGLE' appears in small gold lettering at the top. The turntable sits on a white surface against a light purple wall."

Below is an illustration of a red apple with green leaves and a bite taken out of it. The text 'specially-priced maxi-single' appears at the top, and 'limited edition remix' at the bottom.

087 & 088. The English Beat - Special Beat Service

Last of their Record Store Day reissues, sweet red & blue #vinyl. They did such a great job with these. Not overboard, just solid remasters & cool vinyl. Oh, and brilliant music. ☺️

084, 085, & 086. The Stone Roses 20th anniversary box set

Rest in peace, Mani.

His bass is the first musical instrument you hear on the album, slowly fading in at the start of "I Wanna Be Adored." Such an iconic & funky rhythm section. I can imagine the rest of the Roses are gutted. 😔

082 & 083. The English Beat - Wha'ppen?

The "experimental" second album. Not "bad" but not as tight as IJCSI or SBS in hewing to genre/style. Wha'ppen ranges far & wide to its credit. Love Doors of Your Heart and Walk Away. Another Record Store Day expanded edition reissue! 2 tones of green #vinyl.

I've got the 1982 #vinyl on I.R.S. records and then the new expanded clear vinyl re-release with remixes, dubs, and live tracks from 1982. Very much enjoyed having to listen to this record twice. 😎

We interrupt our countup to mention the completion of one (1) IKEA Kallax container shelf. 😄 We're at #79 but there were a couple that I listened to that were new or out of order.

We now return you to Your Older Brother's #vinyl countup. Please keep your hands and arms inside the car at all times.

078. The Sandals - The Endless Summer

I don't recall many of the songs here being in the movie aside from the title track, but that one's a classic. Great film, too, iconic poster (seen here). (CW for racism tho) Lots of "motorcycle as a sound effect" on this album, did not care for that. 😂
A black Audio-Technica turntable is shown playing an orange and yellow marbled vinyl record. The album cover for The Original Sound-Track Music From Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer stands upright behind it.

077. EMF - I Believe 12" single

Probably this #vinyl came in when I was Music Director of the college radio station. I probably assumed it wasn't of value to add (I was probably right 😄), and I probably kept it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

072. Richard Edwards - Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw

I subscribed to Richard's Patreon for a couple years. He's one of the most generous musicians I've encountered, putting his music on sale a lot, releasing limited editions & songs to the Patreon subscribers. It means a lot to have him see us.

071. Richard Edwards - Sings the Margot & the Nuclear So And So's Songbook in Quarantine (Volume 1)

My pick from this one is "Your Sister's House" but there's a lot of good songs here. Very cool splatter #vinyl. I'd link to the music but I can't find it anywhere online. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Alt text by Google's Gemini LLM: "A close-up of a black Audio-Technica turntable with a clear dust cover raised, playing a vinyl record.

The text on the cover reads: "RICHARD EDWARDS SINGS THE MARGOT & THE NUCLEAR SO AND SO'S SONGBOOK IN QUARANTINE (VOLUME 1)." The band Margot & the Nuclear So and So's was primarily the project of singer/songwriter Richard Edwards. This album, released by Edwards under his own name, features newly reimagined and re-recorded versions of songs from the extensive Margot & the Nuclear So and So's catalog. It was created during the early pandemic/quarantine period, lending a sense of isolation and introspection to the tracks.

069. Richard Edwards - Verdugo

Nice.

Probably the record I know & love best by Richard, it contains the newest song to make my personal "top 10 favorite of all time" list, "Olive Oyl." Released in 2018, I thought I bought a signed red #vinyl copy but it's clearly Neapolitan. 😂 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cool new feature on TIDAL! They've partnered with Tune My Music to transfer music from other services! I used Tune My Music when I moved to TIDAL from Spotify a few years back and it works great. But now it's built into TIDAL in the Playlist menu! Love that they're making it easier to move. ☺️
