50 years ago today, September 11, 1976, Dickey Lee debuted at #76 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “9, 999, 999 Tears". It went on to peak at #3 for two weeks and spent 18 weeks on the chart.

It’s been a fun and exciting hobby to collect 45 RPM singles in my lifetime. This is one of the classics I was able to buy at my favorite record store that sold new and used records way back then in the 1980s.

MUDDY WATERS & OTIS SPANN
Muddy Waters And Otis Spann In Concert 1958
1982 UK Mono pressing

The muddier the better.

Recorded at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, Sunday October 26, 1958.
This is the complete show, presented in performance order, and was dubbed from the only existing acetate.

One of MANY Muddy Waters records in my library, and Mr. Morganfield is one of the most influential artists on me.

I learned how to write songs when I was a kid by listening to Muddy tapes, and punk tapes.

Muddy may have been the most punk rock motherfucker of all time.

And by the way…
How awesome is that Krazy Kat label?
Fantastic.

Can't Stop It! II: Australian Post-Punk 1979-84 (Deluxe Edition)
2026 Australia 2xLP pressing
Deluxe Edition

A WONDERFUL belated birthday present from a friend of mine. A friend who clearly understands me through and through.

This was originally a CD compilation released in 2007, and it is FULL of artists I’ve never heard of before.

Bands that cover every umbrella you want to open under the #postpunk moniker.

There’s spirited #newwave , #dark #minimalism , #industrial , dance-y #electronic post-punk, and everything in between.

One song to the next is its own thing, and it’s fucking fantastic. Other than Severed Heads, there’s not a single band on here that isn’t new to me.

I particularly enjoy the Microfilm and Chainmale tracks.

Cannot recommend this enough, and this particular friend has earned a free dinner.

Oh, now this, this is really good. I’m halfway through the first track and hooked.

43 years ago today, September 10, 1983, The Bellamy Brothers debuted at #71 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Strong Weakness”. It went on to peak at #15 and spent a total of 15 weeks on the chart.

I enjoyed listening to this song on AM 650 KYAK and went to buy it at my favorite record store, "Robber Joe's" 4+ decades ago.

Well this is unique and unexpected. Had no clue this was going to be a lot of synth when I bought it, months ago…this is my first listen. Not what I want all day every day, but it’s pretty good.

THE TIME
Ice Cream Castle
1984 Canada pressing

Today is your old pal Ape’s birthday (hold for applause……), and before I head out for a days worth of festivities, I’m starting my day out with one of my favorite albums of all time.

If I could have grown up with ANY father (I didn’t have one), or at least be adopted by ANY DUDE of my choice, my choice would have been MORRIS FUCKING DAY.

Under his tutelage, I would have learned how to be the coolest motherfucker on Earth: how to look into a mirror all day and whisper I love you, how to do “The Bird”, and how to train dudes named Jerome to fetch me my hat whenever I want it.

“Hold up, do y'all wanna learn a new dance?
Are you qualified to learn one? That's what I thought! Who can dance out there? Okay, we gonna try a new dance. And if I don't see everybody doin' it, I don't wanna see you no more!”

THAT PETROL EMOTION
Manic Pop Thrill
1986 UK pressing [first]

Decided to spend a beautiful weather day by taking a day-trip down island, and the majesty of where I live was on full display today.

Found a handful of things I’ve been hunting for quite some time, but THIS was my favorite find of the day.

Manic Pop Thrill is the only album of theirs I’m SUPER passionate about and care to own, and I finally got one today.

Jagged, nervous, guitar driven #80s power pop of the highest order.
It’s abrasive, but very catchy.
A level of awesomeness that was never matched by any of those subsequent albums.

One of the most overlooked classic albums of any genre.

If you don’t know it, or you like The Undertones, spend some time with it.
You’ll like it as much if not MORE than anything that band did.

My favorite thing about visiting Ditch Records in Victoria, B.C. is that I get to piss in front of Frank Zappa.
While HE shits.

Gripe:

If the word “Records” appears in the title of your store AND your sign, and 99% of your shit is toys, shirts, BluRays, games and dildos… remove the word RECORDS from your name and sign.

You are nothing but a low-rent Toys R Us for sexual deviants.
Not a record store.

MUDDY WATERS
Muddy Waters At Newport 1960
1960 U.S. MONO pressing

Last spin of the night goes to one of the most important figures in the history of American music.

Recorded in the dead-ass dog days of summer in 1960 in Newport, Rhode Island, a one hour drive away from where I grew up in Franklin, Ma, and a place where I was once arrested for urinating on a police car.
I was only 19, so please don’t think it was yesterday.

Whatever #blues Muddy was singing that day some 36 years prior DID NOT compare to the blues I was singing that night in the Newport Police Department.

I wrote some bangers that night that would have made Muddy proud.
Songs like “Please Don’t Beat Me With A Rubber Hose Twice”, “They Never Gave Me My One Phone Call”, and “My Stream Was A Lot Stronger Than I Thought”.

Anyway… this record is essential for true blues fans.

SYD BARRETT
The Peel Sessions
2025 Europe Unofficial reissue

My birthday is on Wednesday, and a friend of mine just swung by the house to give me this as an early birthday present.

He told me “It’s always 50/50 if I’m ever getting you a record for a present. I never know if you have it or not. I know you like this boot series though, so I took a gamble.”

I DID NOT have it, and yes, I do REALLY like these Radio Broadcast releases. For “unofficial” recordings, all of them that I’VE bought (and I have a bunch of em) have been really good sound-quality wise.

And this one’s no different.

Five really great Syd solo tunes, my favorite of which has always been Baby Lemonade, which, has guitar by David Gilmour, as the studio album version does.

I wonderful early birthday present.
Thank you kindly, Richie.
Most people are wrong about you.

FRED NEIL
Everybody's Talkin'
1971 U.S. reissue
[orange labels]

A masterful songwriter, and a dude that had a LOT to do with a young Bob Dylan hitting the stage at Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village.

It still shocks me how many people think that “Everybody’s Talkin’” is a Harry Nilsson song, when in fact it was Neil who wrote it.
That song only became a hit when Nilsson’s version was featured in the 1969 movie Midnight Cowboy.

SUCH a hit that Neil’s self-titled ‘66 album (THIS ONE), was reissued under the name Everybody’s Talkin’, in order to capitalize on the film’s (and song’s) success.

The album however is much more than that one song.
The Dolphins is absolutely beautiful, as is Neil’s take on the traditional tune “Sweet Cocaine”.

A laid back and stellar 38 minutes.
Just such a great record.

THE EDSEL AUCTIONEER
Voice Of The Harolds
1990 UK pressing

Sweet-ass noisy Saturday jams.

Kinda grunge-y, super loud indie rock from Leeds, and this is a mini-album that collects their first single, and E.P. material.

Some Dino Jr., Husker Du, My Bloody Valentine and Pale Saints vibes, with great guitars. Super ragged and punchy sounding.

John Peel heard their early demos and was so blown away by them that he brought them in Maida for a Peel session, which they recorded four songs for in 1988.

I desperately need a copy of their 1992 album Simmer.
So if anybody out there sees or comes across one… let’s make a deal.
Yer friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape will take care of you.

But this is 100% worth checking out if you like any of the bands I compared them to, other genres where they sit.

CURTIS MAYFIELD
Super Fly
1972 Canada pressing

More Friday night fire, baby!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This album is forever GOATED.

Funky, badass psychedelic soul music from one of the greatest blaxploitation films ever made.

Lots of wah-wah guitars, gnarly percussion, funky-as-fuck bass, and Mayfield’s otherworldly falsetto.

A masterpiece tour-de-force album by one talented, funky motherfucker.

THE SMITHEREENS
Green Thoughts
1988 Canada pressing

Friday night fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥!!!

Another band I learned about in the early #90s as a kid, by pilfering my older sister’s then-boyfriend’s cassette collection.

I was instantly taken by the guitars, the melodies, and the band’s catchy songcraft.

Don Dixon’s production is spot on here, too.
This album just SOUNDS great.

No offense intended towards anybody, but one of maybe only a handful of good things to ever come from New Jersey.
Sorry/not sorry.
You know?
😂
You never have to wonder if someone’s from New Jersey.
They’ll always tell you before you do.

THE CURE
The Peel Sessions 1978
2026 Europe pressing

Super siked to snag this today.
When I was a kid, I bought a cassette version of this released by Strange Fruit. I drilled that tape into the ground, particularly that version of “Fire In Cairo”.
[cassette I had pictured below as well]

I know there’s probably been about 50 different physical releases of these four Peel Sessions songs from ‘78, but I’ve never had a chance to replace my cassette copy until today.

These performances are great.
A young, scruffy, three-piece iteration of what would over time become one of the most important bands in the history of music.

And again, I can’t stress this enough, this is my favorite version of “Fire In Cairo” that’s ever been committed to tape.

Great sounding pressing too.
Beyond pleased.
