What are you listening to and what do you have to say about it?

Is this CD or vinyl? Label?
 
Vinyl only, on Hip Shake Records. I'm pretty sure it's a Euro release (UK?).
I got my copy from Crypt Records.
 
can't wait to get that one :


As over-anthologized Detroit (and Michigan) are in terms of their florid musical history, Michigan Meltdown manages to collect twelve examples of post-garage paranoia and pre-punk fuzz spanning from the late '60s through the mid '70s—all previously uncompiled and unbelievable. While indebted to similar efforts of the past decades like Michigan-Brand Nuggets, Michigan Mayhem and Michigan Mixture, the significant accomplishment of Meltdown is that it manages to ably carve its own niche. Whereas these previous comps focused on tenderly naïve garage rock and blissfully optimistic psychedelia, the tone on Meltdown is decidedly darker. With multiple songs about Satan, intergalactic travel and drug abuse, the subject matter is a solid indicator of the actual desperation, escapism and despair that was de rigeur in the area during the era. Mastered directly from the original 45's (NOT mp3's) for that warm, full analog sound and paired with informative and hilarious liner notes. Limited to 500 copies. Recommended if you like: Do What Thou Wilt, the Great Lakes, coney dogs.
 
This sounds pretty cool. I imagine something between Stooges and "Be Forwarned". Vinyl or CD?
The Winning Sides #3 looks pretty good, too.
I'm enjoying Bury My Body Vol.2 at the moment. Side 2 has too many covers for my taste, but side 1 is as good as a garage comp can get, in my opinion.

Thanks everybody here for so insistently recommending the Bachs on Time-Lag. I didn't think it would make such a big difference, but of course it does. The one I had before sounds like crap compared to it.
Seven stars: ******* (on a scale of seven stars)

Fan-tastic US garage compilation from our very own Expo67.
I believe I have all the songs on other comps, but the sound quality here is unbelievable!!

I've seen worse cover art as well... ;)
 
Beach Boys 'Smile Sessions'. Great release, really well done. I went with the 2LP set which is all I need, really. The music itself is amazing. Great sound quality, there's some liner notes by Brian W which I haven't read yet and a booklet with some nice pics (colour) but that's about it. Would've been nice with some info as to where and when etc. but I guess that can be found elsewhere.

Hereby recommended.
 
I thought I have everything "Smile" I need. A bootleg with session outtakes in good quality (with the smile shop cover). Smiley Smile. Surf's Up etc. The newly recorded Smile. The experience of seeing Brian and the Wondermints perform it (twice, in London and Frankfurt). I wonder does this new set contain something substantial yet unheard?
Please fill me in on this. Do I need it...?
By the way, if you don't already have it, one of the most amazing books on pop music I ever saw is "Look! Listen! Vibrate! Smile!" by Domenic Priore. It contains every piece of information to get hold of about Smile, mostly in facsimile of newspaper articles, session sheets, cool photos (photocopy style) etc. And it's a pretty massive volume too! It was probably even more fun when Smile was more of mystery than a real record. When reading/skipping through Priore's book it was almost like creating "Smile" in your head. What it could have been like. The vision of a record (which in fact is totally Brian's mindset towards music, I think).

Axel, I actually don't know the difference from this release and earlier stuff, other than this is an official release and that it sounds fantastic. It's bound to sound better than a bootleg, no? Here's the tracklisting, so you can check if there's "unheard" stuff that you don't have:

Disc: 1
1. Our Prayer (Side One)
2. Gee (Side One)
3. Heroes and Villains (Side One)
4. Do You Like Worms (Roll Plymouth Rock) (Side One)
5. I'm In Great Shape (Side One)
6. Barnyard (Side One)
7. The Old Master Painter / You Are My Sunshine (Side One)
8. Cabin Essence (Side One)
9. Wonderful (Side Two)
10. Look (Song for Children) (Side Two)
11. Child Is Father of the Man (Side Two)
12. Surf's Up (Side Two)
Disc: 2
1. I Wanna Be Around / Workshop (Side Three)
2. Vega-Tables (Side Three)
3. Holidays (Side Three)
4. Wind Chimes (Side Three)
5. Mrs. O'Leary's Cow (Fire) (Side Three)
6. Love to Say Dada (Side Three)
7. Good Vibrations (Side Three)
8. Your Welcome - Stereo Mix (Side Four)
9. Vega-Tables - Stereo Mix (Side Four)
10. Wind Chimes - Stereo Mix (Side Four)
11. Cabin Essence - Session Highlights and Stereo Backing Track (Side Four)
12. Surf's Up - Session Excerpt and Stereo Mix (Side Four)

I mean, I paid 200 Danish kroner which is a fair price in Denmark (that's about 25 euros, the album might even be cheaper in Germany), it's well worth the money if you ask me. There's also something moving in having the official release, considering that it didn't come out originally and all the stuff that Brian went through because of it etc.
 
First of all: :)!
Then: I think I have most of it, if not all.
Then: in the end I will have to get it anyway. It's always the same...:rolleyes:
Brian! Brian! Brian!
(when it comes to this guy, I'm just one of those screaming little girls, you know)
