The Cars, Panorama, 1980 on Elektra

This was the third studio LP from Boston band The Cars, situated between Candy-O and Shake It Up. Includes "Touch and Go." An underappreciated album in The Cars' discography: seen by critics as a let down and not as commercial successful as the one before or after. I like it though - more experimental, more ambitious - trying on different sounds. Sort of an alternate universe in which they went more alternative. Not the first Cars LP you should buy, but worth being in your collection if […]

Margo Price, That’s How Rumors Get Started, 2020 on Loma Vista

Price's third studio album, produced by Sturgill Simpson (with Price and David Ferguson) and released in July of 2010 during the pandemic. I've been a fan since her debut - smart songwriting in a traditional storytelling country way but with a modern take. Now going back and learning the back-catalog via Buffalo Clover. My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—is the Barnes & Noble Exclusive pressing, including the "Margozine" booklet with twelve pages of photos from the sessions and some […]

Leo Kottke, 6-and 12-String Guitar, 1969 on Takoma

Kottke's second album, following 12-String Blues, and what would become reportedly the best-selling LP on John Fahey's Takoma Records. Writing his own liner notes, Kottke writes "All that is left to be said is that Kottke's voice does not appear on this album. His guitar does." My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—has the gold and tan "two dragons" Takoma labels, and is likely a repress circa 1972.

The Grateful Dead, Aoxomoxoa, 1969 on Warner Bros

This was the third studio LP from The Grateful Dead, and was one of the first albums recorded in 16 tracks on an Ampex MM-1000. It was remixed by Garcia and Lesh in 1971. “China Cat Sunflower” and “St. Stephen” remain among my favorite Dead tunes, though I find it hard to get through “What’s Become Of the Baby.”

My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—is a 1971 Terre Haute pressing, with the 1971 remix, on green labels but with the W7 logo on the jacket. I’m still on the hunt for a 1969 issue. (It was included in the Warner Bros. Studio Albums box set, and was put on CD in 2019 by Rhino but not vinyl).
