SCREAMING TREES
Invisible Lantern
1988 U.S. CD 💿 issueAwesome little find today!
As much as I love the #90s Trees output (and I do LOVE IT), the major label money and production value made them a bit of a different band in comparison to the earlier SST albums like this one.
Their earlier records lean more into hazy & heavy #psychedelic #garage rock than the #grunge -a-riffic albums from the halcyon 90s alternative days.
I don’t see a lot of these early SST Trees albums lying around on CD, nevermind vinyl.
It’s a bit of a shock to hear Lanegan’s vocals on these albums if all you’re familiar with is the deep, gravelly voice from their heyday.
Here, his voice is much higher-pitched, and perhaps not yet affected by a lifelong journey into drugs.A pretty great album, with one of my all time favorite Trees tunes in “Smokerings”.

The Who, Who’s Greatest Hits, 1983 on MCA
I don't tend to favor Greatest Hits albums from an artist I'd otherwise collect individual albums from, but picked this up as part of a bundle of records. I love it when an artist puts out a Greatest Hits so early in their career - there's also a 2009 Greatest Hits album On vinyl, this includes the single version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" (3:38) while the CDs have the album version (8:32). Great collection across the 60s and 70s albums. My copy—via private sale—is an early 80s […]https://goatless.org/2026/07/23/the-who-whos-greatest-hits-1983-on-mca

YOSUKE YAMASHITA AND ADELHARD ROIDINGER
Inner Space
1977 Germany pressingIt’s hot as hell on the island today, so I’m content to just chill inside today and stay cool while listening to music.
A warm, spacious and atmospheric #jazz record between two masterful improvisers.
In the case of Yamashita, this is far more mellow and refined than his previously intense and raw works. It’s quite reflective and intimate sounding, and perfect for a day like today.
I think that even people who don’t appreciate jazz at all can throw this on and appreciate how rich and great it sounds.
Side question, though.
Who names their kid “Adelhard”?
Asking for a friend.

KARL ERIKSON
Aerogramme
1973 Canada pressingAn earthy, organic #folk #countryrock record, Aerogramme was one of the first handful of records I bought after moving to Canada.
Fantastic organic sounding #70s production, but that wouldn’t mean anything if the songs weren’t any good, and these are great tunes. Wonderfully constructed, all anchored by Erikson’s familiar sounding and comforting voice.
All three of Erikson’s albums are great, but this one is the one for me.
Since leaving the music business, Erikson has worked in Australia as an Associate Professor of Contemporary Communication at Central Queensland University, He has been an academic researcher, ethnomusicologist & producer in Australia, where he has spent decades studying and documenting Indigenous music and culture.
If he was my teacher, I’d only ask questions about Aerogramme.

The Monkees, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., 1967 on Colgems
This was the fourth Monkees LP, as they were taking increasing control and playing the instruments themselves, joined by studio session musicians. "Peter Percival Patterson's Pet Pig Porky"— which introduces "Pleasant Valley Sunday"—reminds us we're at the heart of the psychedelic 60s. There's now a four CD "Super Deluxe Edition" on the Monkees website, as well as a Rhino Hifi edition, but I think I'll stick with this original pressing. My copy—via private sale—is an early […]https://goatless.org/2026/07/22/the-monkees-pisces-aquarius-capricorn-jones-ltd-1967-on-colgems

James Taylor, Walking Man, 1974 on Warner Bros.
I became a James Taylor fan in the 80s via a CD of Greatest Hits but as I'm rebuilding my vinyl collection have been picking up his early 70s albums. Walking Man was his fifth, out in 1974 on Warner Bros. (after his debut had been on Apple Records). It was less successful commercially than the earlier records but stands up well - the title track remains a favorite. My copy—via Residency Records in Salem MA—is an RCA Indianapolis pressing on "Burbank" WB labels.https://goatless.org/2026/07/21/james-taylor-walking-man-1974-on-warner-bros

VARIOUS ARTISTS
All Ears (10 New And Original Hits With A CB Theme)
1977 U.S. pressingQuite the ridiculous record that I just couldn’t pass up, because it looked JUST like my kinda stupid.
Made for Radio Shack in the mid #70s , this is a collection of songs that all have a CB theme to them.
Rock, jazz, R&B, gospel, soul… this thing is ALL over the place, but all the songs drive down the Citizens Band 2-Way radio highway.
In all honesty, there’s some pretty good tunes on here. “Honey Bee (Please Answer Me)” by Randy Goodrum is a particular standout for me, as is “Everybody's Somebody (In Our C.B. World)” by Ed Bernet.
For only $1.00, I couldn’t go wrong.
Pretty entertaining shit, straight down to the “Index Of Terms Used By CB’ers” on the back cover.10-4, good buddy.
Over and out.

CYNDI LAUPER
The Goonies 'R' Good Enough b/w What A Thrill
1985 Canada 7” pressingA killer find from my trip downtown today!
This song is forever tattooed on my childhood due to its affiliation with one of my all-time favorite movies, The Goonies.
Every time I hear it, I’m transported right back to that movie theatre where I saw it on opening weekend in Milford, Ma.Both the record AND picture sleeve are in immaculate shape, and I’ve never owned one before where BOTH were intact. I either saw the sleeve either no record, or the record in just a shitty plain paper sleeve.
Pure sentimental #80s joy, man.
It’s the little things that make you happy.
And this makes me very happy.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #1980s #80sMusic #80smovies #movies #TheGoonies #cyndilauper

JAWBREAKER
Etc.
2022 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissueIf the R.E.M. collection Dead Letter Office that I posted is my favorite b-sides & rarities album ever, THIS would be a very close second.
On this Masto, I’m on record many times in saying that #jawbreaker is one of the three or so most beloved bands of my lifetime. They have enriched my life in so many ways that it’s hard to imagine.
THIS collection gathers all the split 7” songs they did with other bands, stray B’s, cover songs, and alternate recordings throughout their existence.
Perfect way to start off a Monday morning and head into a new week.
A quick note: I’ve always preferred the Dear You-era recording of “Boxcar” that appears here (as well as on the expanded edition of Dear You). It’s got way more muscle, and just sounds waaay better.
Have always loved the Psych Furs cover as well.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #punk #1990s

THIS collection gathers all the split 7” songs they did with other bands, stray B’s, cover songs, and alternate recordings throughout their existence.
Perfect way to start off a Monday morning and head into a new week.
A quick note: I’ve always preferred the Dear You-era recording of “Boxcar” that appears here (as well as on the expanded edition of Dear You). It’s got way more muscle, and just sounds waaay better.
Have always loved the Psych Furs cover as well.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #punk #1990s

Chris Stapleton, From A Room: Vol 1., 2017 on Mercury Nashville
Stapleton was a fairly successful Nashville based songwriter for more than a decade before his 2015 debut LP Traveller, as well as fronting a bluegrass band (The Steeldrivers) and a southern rock band (The Jompson Brothers). Ironically his big hit - "Tennessee Whiskey" is a cover of a David Allen Coe song (written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove). Live from A Room (not just any old room, but Nashville's RCA Studio A) was his follow up / sophomore album, produced by Dave Cobb and Stapleton […]https://goatless.org/2026/07/20/chris-stapleton-from-a-room-vol-1-2017-on-mercury-nashville

THE SONICS
Introducing The Sonics
2012 U.S. reissueMore Sonics please!
Great reissue of this collection by Beat Rocket, with Side One tracks 6 & 7, and Side Two tracks 7 & 8 as bonus cuts included only on this special edition.
After posting the debut Sonics album the other day, I’ve been listening to them a TON. They have certainly been the soundtrack of my Summer, and probably will continue to be until football season starts.
Been cranking them everyday; at home, in the car, down at the beach and lagoon.Perfect end to a wonderful Sunday.
On the 7th day… God rested.

JIM LOWE
The Green Door / Four Walls
U.S. 7” single reissueIn 2006, I lived in #woonsocket #rhodeisland with my new wife in a shitty little apartment.
I used to leave this little radio unit on during the day to give the pets some noise while we were gone. Id leave it on this local AM station called ON Radio, & hook it into a tape deck & record it onto 90min tapes, to see what weird shit I could capture.
One day I heard this AWESOME song playing, & for years, I had NO IDEA what it was or who it was by.
This is one of the greatest early rock and roll songs.
It’s mysterious, has a super interesting production value, and just absolutely smokes.That bright, percussive honky tonk piano sounds AMAZING, and was achieved by songwriter Bob Davie by placing thumbtacks on the piano hammers and speeding up the tape during production.

Eli “Paperboy” Reed & The True Loves, Roll With You, 2008 on Q Division, Reissued By Yep Roc
This was Eli "Paperboy" Reed's debut LP in 2008, originally on Q Division out of Somerville MA (and recorded at their studios). Great "blue-eyed" soul in the spirit of the Dap Tones. Not sure if he needed "Paperboy" because there's already an Eli Reed (a photographer and journalst) or because he just liked the notion that he delivers. There's a great episode of Live at Darryl's house with Reed worth watching if you can find it. Here's a […] -

THE NIGHTINGALES
In The Good Old Country Way
1986 UK pressingA bonafide classic for a Saturday night.
The Nightingales final album of their original run; one that mixes #postpunk , #folk , #artrock and incredibly unique arrangements.A lot of people regularly refer to this as their greatest artistic achievement, which we can debate, but I’ll tell you what… it’s DEFINITELY Robert Lloyd’s best lyrical tour-de-force.
A sharp, witty, dry and sarcastic lyrical masterclass on his part.This album doesn’t get anywhere near the universal acclaim as it deserves. People who know KNOW. However, they didn’t get the same flowers as Gang Of Four, Wire, The Fall…. ANY of those bands.
And they fucking should have.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #1980s #80s #80sMusic #punk #NIghtingales

R.E.M.
Dead Letter Office
1987 U.S. pressingR.E.M.’s collegiate/I.R.S. run from ground zero up until they signed with Warner is without question my favorite period of any band’s existence ever.
Those six years were as fruitful and as groundbreaking as any band’s period in history.
Originals of those early records are not that hard to find on vinyl, but for some reason, it was very hard for me to procure an original Dead Letter Office.
I’d never seen one around where I live now, and it took me going back to Boston to visit about a month ago to finally get one.This is my favorite b-sides and rarities album ever; collecting all of the stray tracks up until Life’s Rich Pageant.
Lots of cool cover songs here, but MY highlight is “Windout”, which appeared on the soundtrack to Bachelor Party.Much maligned by many.
Not by me.
