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 pressingThe 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 EditionA 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.

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 pressingToday 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!”SQUAWK!!!!🦜

THE EDSEL AUCTIONEER
Voice Of The Harolds
1990 UK pressingSweet-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.

VERUCA SALT
American Thighs
2024 U.S. reissue741 am Saturday.
The neighbors are about to get a rude awakening.This is one of the great albums of the #90s , and for me, very underrated.
I think the majority of people my age who lived though that decade’s music in real time certainly remembers “Seether”, as they should, cuz that’s a great song.
However, American Thighs is full of them. Both Nina Gordon and Louise Post are excellent songwriters, and listening to this album front to back, the contrast of alternating songs from each songwriter, makes for a killer, powerful album.
Heavy, noisy, catchy, great harmonies… it’s a fantastic record, and far more than just one hit song.

🇺🇸 Suicide "Cheree" – 1978 / 2021
Suicide at their most hauntingly minimal. Alan Vega’s fragile, almost whispered vocal sits against Martin Rev’s primitive electronic pulse, creating a strange combination of tenderness and menace...

QUICKSAND
Bring On The Psychics
2026 U.S. Ltd. Edition pressing
Dusk Blue with White Swirl vinylQuicksand is back, and all is right(ish) with the world again.
As a lifelong devotee of this amazing band, I could not be happier with Bring On The Psychics.
Walter is still at the top of his game songwriting-wise, the guitars are still dope as hell, and it feels like they’ve found a comfortable groove in their old age.
They’re not looking back at Slip or Manic Compression; still being in the NOW as well as pushing forward, as opposed to trying to replicate those touchstone records.
This is the third album since they’ve reunited, and ALL three have been fucking fantastic.
It’ll be a sad day when Quicksand call it a day for good.

ORBIT
Western Medicine
1997 U.S. PROMO 7” + CD E.P.
White vinylFeeling better and starting to turn the corner.
One more day of taking it easy and listening to music.THIS is one of my prized possessions. It’s not expensive or anything, but being that I’m from #Boston , & Orbit is one of my all-time favorite hometown bands, it’s special to me.
This is a promotional item that circulated before the release of Orbit’s phenomenal album Libido Speedway.
The 7” contains two songs from the album, & the CD has the band’s signature song “Medicine” (also from Libido Speedway), plus FIVE unreleased songs NOT from that record, including a cover of Echo And The Bunnymen’s “Do It Clean”.
Found this about 20 years ago on one of my first visits back to Boston after moving to B.C..
Orbit were a great band that were horribly mishandled by A&M.

THE REZILLOS
Can't Stand The Rezillos
2023 Australia reissueAn absolute classic from the first wave of British #punk !
It’s fast, energetic, has lots of poppy hooks, and a lot more fun than some of the super-serious political punk that came from the same time.
There’s a fistful of legitimate classics on this, from “Top Of The Pops”, “Flying Saucer Attack”, “I Can’t Stand My Baby”, and a few really high-octane cover tunes that absolutely slay.
Absolutely essential.

SHANGHAI DOG
This Evolution
1985 Canada pressingFor fans of independent Canadian rock from the #80s , this is a bit of a sought after record.
I found it in a thrift store in Chilliwack about a decade ago.A killer #postpunk #newwave rock record, it’s got a political tone to it, as well as dealing with themes of social unrest and alienation, like any good #punk record should.
The bass lines on this album are killer! Those come courtesy of the great Ron Allan, who along with guitarist Mike Graham, were members of the legendary Vancouver band Subhumans.
This is the only record ever released by Shanghai Dog.
It’s so good, it’s really all you need anyway.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #art #music #canada #1980s #80sMusic #vancouver #shanghaidog

MODEST MOUSE
Good News For People Who Love Bad News
2011 U.S. 2xLP reissueSuch a great album that I revisit SEVERAL times a year.
I have a LOT of memories, both good AND bad, attached to this record. Major life events were scored by these songs over the course of three years, and even the bad ones are looked upon now with a sense of warmth and a little bit of resolve.
I’m not what you would call a diehard Modest Mouse fan. I like a handful of songs scattered over some of their albums, but in all honesty, this is the only record of theirs I’ll ever need or have any real emotional connection to.
Just an incredible record, through and through.

THE WAR ON DRUGS
Slave Ambient
2011 U.S. 2xLP
@ #45rpmA band I’ve always liked, but I’m still waiting on them to make an album as good as this one from front to back.
Lost In The Dream came close, but there’s some clips or songs on that one, whereas this is pretty much a perfect record start to finish.
“Come To The City” is such a good tune, as is “Baby Missiles”, which is one my band and I have tacked on to the end of our sets when our originals have been exhausted, and we need to stretch it out for a few extra minutes.
Really great record from a very good band. I think at this point in their career, it’ll always be my favorite.

JAMES WHITE AND THE BLACKS
Off-White
1979 Canada pressingAnother great one from the “ #nowave ” pile from yesterday, one of a handful of James Chance-related records.
This takes the music made with The Contortions and reframes it through groovy dance music.
It’s still weird (because everything Chance did had a bit of weirdness to it), just a little more disco. 😂Punks and art-punks at the time had a universal disdain & hostility for dance music.
Here, Chance gave them something they could get behind. Angular guitars, #avantgarde #jazz rhythms, all mixed over very danceable and hypnotic drums.It was a very divisive album when it came out, but it’s now recognized as an underground cult classic.
It’s been great to hear all these Chance-related albums again these last few days. They just don’t pop up in my neck of the woods that often.

JAPAN
Tin Drum
1981 Canada pressingWhile I was at my local shop this morning, a gentleman came in to sell about 30 of his records.
I ended up buying ALMOST all of them.Along with the No New York compilation I posted earlier, it was all made up of #obscure #nowave , #punk , #postpunk , #newwave , #synthpop , and #experimental #artrock from the late #70s and early #80s .
This was one that I was very excited about. I’ve never owned a CLEAN original Tin Drum on vinyl before, and I’m SIKED.
I’m a big fan of Japan (and of David Sylvian) in general, and Tim Drum was the first album by Japan I ever heard.
I was so mystified by it, that I instantly set off on finding others, which lead me to working backwards towards Adolescent Sex, Obscure Alternatives, Quiet Life and Gentlemen Take Polaroids.“Ghosts” is an incredible tune. It still gives me goosebumps.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
No New York
1978 U.S. pressingThe crown jewel of today’s finds from downtown; a PRISTINE original upgrade copy from my unlistenable beat-to-shit one, and one of the most influential compilations ever.
The NYC “no wave” scene didn’t last long, but Brian Eno was ALL about it, after witnessing some of the bands at an art space in Manhattan.
Eno wanted to record these very out of the box bands for posterity, and opted to do it in a very “live” off-the-cuff manner.
4 bands contributing 4 songs each, it is a pivotal document of what was happening in the late-70s NYC underground.
The Contortions (more on them later), Teenage Jesus And The Jerks, Mars, and D.N.A.; all envelope pushers in the best sense of the phrase.
I’ve been wanting an original CLEAN copy of this for a long time, so today was like Christmas.

Please don’t tell my wife I spent $450.00 on records this morning.

You know which thing I’m talking about, too.
We got a deal?
Awesome.Hugs and handpounds,

ULTRAVOX
Vienna
1980 Canada pressingA stone cold classic before I head out and start my Monday.
One of my favorite #80s records that I will never tire of.
I know diehards prefer the earlier #70s Ultravox records, but Vienna is the one for me.
The first one with Midge Ure on it, replacing the departed (he left, he didn’t die) John Foxx.
Full of really great tunes, and one of the defining albums of the early eighties #synthpop genre.
One of my all-time favorite fun and ridiculous facts:
The title track, unquestionably the band’s biggest song, reached #2 on the UK singles chart.The song that kept it from being #1?
Joe Dolce’s “Shaddap You Face”.
😂Apparently, good taste was on vacation in 1980.

DEFTONES
Around The Fur
2011 U.S. reissueMore Deftones!
I remember how excited I was when this came out in ‘97. I had just spent a year and a half obsessing over Adrenaline, and was really hoping that Around The Fur would be just as good.
Was it ever.Not only was it good, it was superior in EVERY way, and took a huge creative leap forward.
It is somehow HEAVIER, but also super atmospheric and dreamy.
It’s more melodic, the guitars are down-tuned and absolutely pummeling, and Chino’s lyrics and voice are emotional and soaring.This is their first GREAT record, and it would only get better from here, because White Pony was on the horizon.
I still feel like The Deftones are underrated.
They’re huge, and people love em, but I feel it’s not enough.
Incredible band.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #deftones #1990s #90s #90smusic #aroundthefur

THE MUPPETS
The Muppet Movie (Original Soundtrack Recording)
1979 Canada pressingThe Muppets were a pivotal part of my childhood.
From The Muppet Show to the subsequent movies, those characters and songs are tattooed on my heart and soul forever.Until today, it was the only soundtrack of the initial run of movies (Movie, Caper, Manhattan, Christmas Carol) that I didn’t own on vinyl.
Regardless of how you feel about The Muppets, this is worth owning solely for Paul Williams’ “Rainbow Connection”, just a stunningly beautiful song regardless of how old you are.
An even bigger bonus is that this was a used copy that STILL had the movie poster inside of it. They’re almost always missing.
If I were to ever adopt a child, I’d want it to be Animal.

DEFTONES
Adrenaline
2022 U.S. reissueFrom the beginning, I never understood why they got lumped in with all of those inferior shithead “nu metal” bands.
For starters, they were first out the gate, and were around before any of those asshole bands reared their very ugly heads (and music).
Musically, DEFTONES were always a far more interesting and dynamic band. Amongst all those pummeling guitars and pounding drums was always an incredible sense of melody and songcraft.
I was a fan of them right from the start. As a junior in high school, I was instantly obsessed with Adrenaline.
Their very first record, it’s far from their best. It is however, one of my two favorites.Chino is an incredible front man, and as a live act, they’ve always been just MAMMOTH.
My love for this band will never waiver. And it all started here.

BEASTIE BOYS
Ill Communication
2009 U.S. 2xLP reissueRockin’ some jazzy boom-bap from the fuckin goats.
Check Your Head will always be my favorite Beasties album. It is a flawless magnum opus and in my mind, the greatest #HipHop album ever.
Ill Communication is not far behind. Sometimes, I just need to hear it.
Sure Shot, Sabotage, Root Down, Heart Attack Man… I mean…cmon man.
The Beasties were, still are, and will FOREVER be THE SHIT.Like Ma Bell, I got the Ill Communication.
