Mail call transviolet born to run

 

When are we gonna get Waste of Mind and PotY on vinyl?!

 

Moving Mountains self titled is my favorite album. I’m grateful to own it on vinyl at all, but feel even more fortunate knowing it can be a pretty difficult one to come across. It’s by no means the rarest or most valuable in my collection, but if I didn’t own it already I’d be doing whatever it took to get it on my shelf

 

Yeah, I don't care if it's a digital master or the original master. That probably makes me a heathen, but whatever. Those 2017 pressings sound great to me, and I really want This Desert Life, Hard Candy, and Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings to get a similar treatment.

 

Most prized vinyl collection items:

-The Matchbox Twenty boxset is so cool. Grew up with those albums and they mean a lot to me, and thought for a long time that they would never get pressed.

-The 10-year pressing of Everything In Transit. Just a beautifully put together reissue of one of my favorite albums ever.

-The sky-blue pressing of Futures from 2014. Showed up at my house the day after my grandpa died and that album just wrecked me all over again. Plus, it's just a beautiful, great-sounding pressing, and at that point, was the first time that album was readily available on vinyl.

Honorable mentions:
-Yellow Ocean Avenue reissue from a few years back
-Something Corporate's North
-The gold pressing of Butch Walker's Afraid of Ghosts
-The dreamsicle orange pressing of Jason Isbell's Reunions that you could only get at indie record shops in the absolute doldrums of COVID
-Copies of Pete Yorn's Musicforthemorningafter and Twin Forks' self-titled album that are signed to me by name
-The RSD pressing of Matt Nathanson's Some Mad Hope

 

Foo Fighters “Medium Rare” or “Hail Satin.”
Postal Service “Give Up” (Anniversary box set)
“Josie and the Pussycats” or “Godzilla” soundtrack

 

Yeah I need Holiday in Spain, on wax, played really loud. Life will be good.

 

My top three right now are probably: the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot super deluxe box set, My Morning Jacket - Okonokos, and this:

 

mewithoutYou - CFUTF pink first press
Thrice - Alchemy Index box set
Starflyer 59 - Talking Voice Vs Singing Voice (bought this at a random Half Price Books on my first date with my wife)

Jealous of anyone who has that Moving Mountains album. Just can't bring myself to pay $100 for a copy.
