The Blow Monkeys, Wicked Ways, 1986 on RCA
The Blow Monkeys were a really interesting UK pop / new-wave band in the 80s, and "Digging Your Scene" was their big hit in the US. This single was also from the Animal Magic LP that hit was from. Fronted by the self-titled Dr. Robert (Bruce Howard), the band included Mick Anker (bass), Neville Henry (sax), and Tony Kiley (drums) plus many guests. The cover on the b-side ("It's Not Unusual") was recorded in 1984 at the Hammersmith Palais in Paris.

John Prine, Aimless Love, 1984 on Oh Boy
Prine's eighth album and his first on Oh Boy, which Prine formed with manager Al Bunetta and friend Dan Einstein. Some classic Prine songs here: "Unwed Fathers," "The Oldest Baby In the World," and "People Puttin' People Down" among them. Co-writers here include Spooner Oldham, Shel Silverstein, Bobby and Linda Whitlock, and Bobby Braddock - reflecting the time Prine spent writing for others in Nashville in the early 80s. My copy—direct from Oh Boy Records—is the 2022 reissue on […]https://goatless.org/2026/09/12/john-prine-aimless-love-1984-on-oh-boy

Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Reactor, 1981 on Reprise
This was the last album for Young & Crazy Horse on Reprise before the five album run on Geffin. Some would consider this a kind of punk or even post-punk (is 1981 too early for post-punk?) version of Neil Young & Crazy Horse. It sometimes gets listed as one of their least successful records—the lyrics to T-Bone, for example—but I think it's got a certain rough charm. "Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze" is widely reputed to be about the Reprise records team, specifically Mo Ostin and Joe […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/27/neil-young-crazy-horse-reactor-1981-on-reprise

Various Artists, Miami Vice (Music From The Television Series), 1985 on MCA
Though I can't say I actually remember any episodes of the series—I'm sure I watched it—I certainly remember the theme song, which was inescapable. There were multiple soundtrack releases (foreshadowing later franchises like The OC?) from Miami Vice but this was the first and most impactful. The main theme is maybe most memorable, but also Glenn Frey, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Melle Mel, and Tina Turner make appearances. My copy—via private sale—is an MCA Gloversville pressing […] -
Bonnie Raitt, Nick of Time, 1989 on Capitol
Although this was Bonnie Raitt's big commercial breakthrough—and maybe where I first heard her?—it was actually her tenth studio album. (Later I'd find her back catalogue which has much to recommend in it). It was also her first on Capitol, having been dropped by Warner Bros. It was produced by Don Was (future Blue Note president), with whom she'd collaborated on Stay Awake. Includes John Hiatt's "Thing Called Love" as well as the title track Raitt wrote. "Cry On My Shoulder" has David […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/09/bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time-1989-on-capitol

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

GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
2018 Canada 2xLP reissueAs epic and breathtaking now as it was in 2000.
This masterpiece is not something I listen to that often. I can’t listen to it in pieces. It has to be heard and experienced from start to finish, all glorious 88 minutes of it. It’s exhaustive, but worth every second of the listener’s time.
Truly one of the landmark albums of the #2000s , and one of the greatest Canadian bands ever.
When talking about #postrock as a genre, and of its high artistic watermarks, this behemoth is one of the few standing at the top.Just an exhilarating piece of art.
Perfect selection for last spin of the night.

Craft Recordings put out an 8 CD / 104 file digital download R.E.M. at the B.B.C. in 2018 - this was the condensed "best of" version, narrowing down to 20 tracks across 2 LPs. The first disc is all BBC sessions (Nicky Campbell, John Peel, Mark and Lard, Drivetime, Radio 1 Lounge) and the second live broadcasts (Rock City Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Glastonbury, St. James Church London). I'm an R.E.M. superfan so great to have these versions on vinyl. My copy—via private sale—is a […]https://goatless.org/2026/07/07/r-e-m-the-best-of-r-e-m-at-the-b-b-c-2018-on-craft-recordings

FELA KUTI & EGYPT 80
Original Suffer Head
2024 U.S. reissueFinally re-adjusted to West Coast time, and it’s a beautiful day outside on the island.
A perfect day to play some Fela.
Jazz, funk, soul, afrobeat, the dude was just simply incredible.
He made SO many albums over his lifetime, and I firmly believe that not only was he the most influential artist on funk and African music, but on music period.
His influence on cultures is surpassed only by a select few, and I fully stand by that statement.Truly one of the most interesting and fascinating dudes to have ever walked the Earth.
If you don’t know much about Fela… dive in.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more colorful and rich life.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #funk #soul #jazz #afrobeat #felakuti

Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins On Impulse!, 1965 on Impulse
Classic album, featuring Rollins with Walter Booker (bass), Mickey Roker (drums), and Ray Bryant (piano). Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in the summer of 1965. Sadly Rollins passed this May (2026) in Woodstock NY. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is the 2021 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue, supervised by Chad Kassem, cut by Ryan Smith, and pressed at Quality Record Pressing (QRP). Sounds fantastic!https://goatless.org/2026/06/10/sonny-rollins-sonny-rollins-on-impulse-1965-on-impulse

Bill Evans and Jim Hall, Intermodulation, 1966 on Verve
This was a follow-up to 1962's Undercurrent, which also featured Hall and Evans. Produced by Creed Taylor and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in two sessions in April and May 1966. It's just Evans on piano and Hall on guitar, starting with two standards ("I've Got You Under My Skin" and "My Man's Gone Now") and then a number of more contemporary tunes, including originals by Evans and Hall as well as Joe Zawinul.

Tavares, The Best of Tavares, 1977 on Capitol
Wonderful collection of disco/soul/funk from the mid-seventies, including their biggest hits "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" and "It Only Takes a Minute." They ended up on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, doing "More Than A Woman." But even if you don't like disco, they are well worth checking out. They were from New Bedford MA / Providence Rhode Island, and Bernie Worrell briefly joined Tavares in 1968 while he was at the New England Conservatory of Music. My copy—via Bull Moose […]https://goatless.org/2026/05/24/tavares-the-best-of-tavares-1977-on-capitol

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 […]https://goatless.org/2026/05/13/the-cars-panorama-1980-on-elektra

Art Pepper, Gettin’ Together, 1960 on Contemporary Records
Pepper joined here by Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums), Wynton Kelly (piano) and Conte Candoli (trumpet, on three tracks). That makes this another LP with Miles Davis' rhythm section, as the earlier Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section was. Rounding out for now my recent Art Pepper pickups (say Art Pepper Pickups five times fast), my copy—direct from Craft Recordings—is the 2024 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue mastered by Bernie Grundman and pressed at QRP.https://goatless.org/2026/05/09/art-pepper-gettin-together-1960-on-contemporary-records

Art Pepper, Intensity, 1963 on Contemporary Records
Recorded in 1960 but released in 1963, this has Pepper joined by Dolo Coker (piano), Jimmy Bond (bass), and Frank Butler (drums). A critical part of any west coast jazz library. That cover photo makes me think of the moment in Lost in Translation where the translator turns a series of long directions in Japanese from the director to Bill Murray as an actor into just this: "more intensity."

Sonny Rollins, Way Out West, 1957 on Contemporary
This was the first Rollins album with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne, and the first time he recorded with only bass and drums. I love this cover photo emphasizing the New York native was out west. My copy—direct from Craft Recordings—is the 2009 Original Jazz Classics reissue which was remastered back in 1988 and repressed in 2009.

Paul Desmond, Pure Desmond, 1975 on CTI Records
Desmond (who composed Take Five and was a critical part of the Dave Brubeck Quartet) playing here with Ron Carter, Ed Bickert, and Connie Kay – recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in 1974 and produced by Creed Taylor.
One of five albums Desmond put out on CTI in the late 60s and 70s. including Summertime and Skylark (with Gabor Szabo). It’s very fusion, and features Ed Bickert on guitar as much as (or more so than) Desmond.
My copy, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR, is a 1975 issue with Van Gelder in the runouts.

Count Basie and Oscar Peterson, Night Rider, 1980 on Pablo
One of my favorite Pablo records, bringing together two legends: Count Basie and Oscar Peterson, with support from Louis Bellson and John Heard. Produced by Norman Granz and engineered by Val Valentin, with liner notes by Nat Hentoff.
Basie plays organ on “Memories of You” and Peterson plays electric piano on “Blues for Pamela.” The opening 12:38 cut of the title track is, as they say, worth the price of admission on its own.
My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal, QC, is a Canadian pressing (Manufactured and Distributed in Canada by RCA Limited).
