Beck, Mutations, 1998 on Bong Load Records
This was Beck's sixth album, out in the late 90s on Bong Load Records / DGC (Geffen). Beck shares producer credit with Nigel Godrich (who also worked with Radiohead and U2). Beck's such an interesting artist, constantly changing while also remaining identifiably himself. There's a lot more keyboard / synthesizer on this record My copy—via private sale—is the 2017 vinyl reissue with an additional 7" record. The 7" includes "Diamond Bullocks" (which was a hidden track at the end of the […]https://goatless.org/2026/09/03/beck-mutations-1998-on-bong-load-records

THE SONICS
Here Are The Sonics!!!
2020 UK MONO reissueIt’s 7:30 am and I’m about to make my neighbors really unhappy.
Full volume wake call for everybody with one of the greatest albums of all time, period.
Some call them the original punk rock band.
I suppose there’s SOME truth to that, but the fact of the matter is that they were just a great band period, regardless of genre.These songs are just incredible, and they sound as fresh and as brand new today as they did in the #60s .
Just an incredibly important and savage rock band.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #1960s #60smusic #TheSonics #punk #garage #seattle

SANDY BULL
Inventions
1965 Canada pressingAbsolutely perfect record for a rainy, thundery Thursday night on the island.
Pretty much a flawless album start to finish, and unquestionably Sandy Bull’s magnum opus masterpiece.
It pretty much has it all.
Incredible folky guitar playing, Middle Eastern vibes, drone-y experimental improvisation, and some killer #jazz flair courtesy of drummer Billy Higgins.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #folk #1960s #60s #60smusic #improv #SandyBull

Mose Allison, Mose Allison Sings, 1963 on Prestige
Compilation of tracks from Allison's first albums which had been released on Prestige between 1957 and 1959. Though he was first known as a pianist, he gradually sang more and more. This was the first compilation in which he sang on every track. All were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, and Ira Gitler wrote the liner notes. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is a mid-sixties (c1965) reissue on dark blue Prestige labels. You can see how the laminated cover has started to […]https://goatless.org/2026/06/05/mose-allison-mose-allison-sings-1963-on-prestige

Various Artists, The Vinyl Series Volume One, 2021 on Island
Great collection of Reggae / Ska / Rocksteady singles from the early days of Island Records, said to be hand-picked by label founder Chris Blackwell. There's already been a Volume Two and Volume Three (going into the 70s) - not sure if there will be more or not. Somewhat idiosyncratically includes The Spencer Davis Group alongside Toots & The Maytals, Desmond Dekker & The Aces, and The Soul Sisters - but it makes sense in the context of the original releases which also stood side by side at […]https://goatless.org/2026/05/26/various-artists-the-vinyl-series-volume-one-2021-on-island

Mose Allison, Your Mind is On Vacation, 1976 on Atlantic
Allison's 10th record on Atlantic and 20th overall. Of course the rest of the title couplet is "but your mouth is working overtime." Great record, executive produced by Nesuhi Ertegun, with Jack Hannah (bass), Gerry Granelli (drums, Al Cohn & Joe Farrell (tenor sax), David Sanborn (alto sax), and Al Porcino (trumpet) - players vary by track. My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is a Presswell pressing with a promotional sticker on Atlantic labels.https://goatless.org/2026/05/22/mose-allison-your-mind-is-on-vacation-1976-on-atlantic

Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks, Everybody’s Rockin’, 1983 on Geffen
Credited (as you can see on the cover and the labels) to Neil Young but also to Neil and the Shocking Pinks, this was Neil’s rockabilly album, with a band assembled just for this purpose.
I realize I’m something of a Neil Young completist, but I really enjoy this album, short as it is.
My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is a 1983 Carrollton pressing from the Columbia House Record Club (noted on the rear jacket).

Bauhaus, 4AD, 1983 on 4AD
Yes, I did save this one for halloween. This was a compilation EP of the singles versions of “Dark Entries,” “Telegram Sam,” and “Terror Couple Kill Colonel.” Love that back cover photo.
I was today years old when I realized that John Cale wrote “Rosegarden Funeral of Sores,” the opening triplet of which is burned into my adolescent brain so much it still comes up whenever I am tired of dealing with people:
Virgin Mary was tired so tired / Tired of listening to gossip / Gossip and complaints
My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a UK pressing with a white b-side label, pressed by Damont. I don’t believe this was ever issued in the US.

Bauhaus, Mask, 1981 on Beggars Banquet
Second studio album from Bauhaus and their first on Beggars Banquet (In The Flat Field was on 4AD), with a cover drawn by Daniel Ash, across a gatefold and on the labels.
The first five Bauhaus records are are perfect – as is the singles collection 1979-1983 and most of the bands that followed in the Bauhaus diaspora (Dali’s Car, Love and Rockets, and Tones on Tail).
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is the 2023 reissue pressed at GZ Media.

Bauhaus, In The Flat Field, 1980 on 4AD
Debut album from Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David Jay, and Kevin Haskins aka Bauhaus. Bauhaus and its many spinoffs (Tones on Tail, Love and Rockets, Dali’s Car) are among my favorite musical lineages.
They’d released “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” as a single in 1979 on Small Wonder records, but this debut came out on 4AD which itself was new in 1980 under the Beggars Banquet umbrella.
The cover is a photograph called Homage to Purvis de Chavannes by American photographer Duane Michals – hopefully it doesn’t get my account flagged as naughty.
My copy – as so many in the last few weeks via Slipped Disc at a Mill No 5 record fair – is a 2013 reissue.

Mose Allison, Down Home Piano, 1966 on Prestige
This 1966 release collects instrumental performances from six albums he released on Prestige in the late 50s and early 60s. There’s a similar Mose Allison Sings which collects “the vocal side of his talents.”
The performers include Allison, Addison Farmer (Art Farmer’s twin brother) on bass, and Ronnie Free / Nick Stabulas on drums. Liner notes by Jack McKinney, recordings by Rudy Van Gelder.
My copy, via La Fin Du Vinyle in Montreal QC, is an early 70s reissue “Remastered for Stereo.”
