Mazzy Star, She Hangs Brightly, 1990 on Capitol
Debut album from Mazzy Star, fronted by Hope Sandoval and founded by David Roback (originally as Opal before changing singers). If you only know them from "Fade Into You" (which is a fantastic song, of course) it is worth going back to this debut album (as well as their third LP Among My Swan). This would have been originally released on Rough Trade, while their later albums were issued on Capitol. Happy to see these records reissued as I don't think I've ever seen a decent used copy : […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/13/mazzy-star-she-hangs-brightly-1990-on-capitol

JD McPherson, The Warm Covers LP, 2023 on New West Records
McPherson toured with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on the Raise the Roof tour (we saw them in Boston). Great roots rock / Americana from New West Records. As the name suggests this is a covers album, the material on which was originally released on two EPs: one in 2014 (The Warm Covers EP) on CD and digital, and one in 2022 (The Warm Covers EP Vol 2) which was digital only. The track selection shows you some of the variety of influences on McPherson, from the Velvet Underground and Iggy […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/12/jd-mcpherson-the-warm-covers-lp-2023-on-new-west-records

Adele, 25, 2015 on Columbia / XL Recordings
The inescapable Adele's third studio album (in between 21 and 25 she put out a Live at Royal Albert Hall album) named like the previous for her age at time of writing & recording. This was the one that starts with "Hello"—if I were an album reviewer my review might have been "Adele had me at 'Hello.'" Adele wrote / co-wrote all the songs here, working with Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, Ryan Tedder, and Paul Epworth among others. There's also more electronics here - synths and percussion. My […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/11/adele-25-2015-on-columbia-xl-recordings

Various Artists, The Harder They Come, 1972 on Mango
This was the soundtrack to a film of the same name, released in the UK in 1972 and in the US in 1973. Although Jimmy Cliff's name is above the title, and he has six of the twelve tracks (though 2 have double versions on the LP_, there's also two Maytals tracks and one Desmond Dekker and others. I was too young to know, but this is said to have been a major part of breaking reggae outside of Jamaica as popular music - I know it established who Jimmy Cliff was for me.

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

Aretha Franklin, Aretha Now, 1968 on Atlantic
The third of Aretha's Atlantic albums from the 60s, including "Think," "I Say a Little Prayer," and a cover of Sam Cooke's "You Send Me." Produced by Jerry Wexler and with on sax, Spooner Oldham on keys, Roger Hawkins on drums, and Jerry Jemott on bass. Fantastic album from the height of Franklin's Atlantic run. My copy—direct from Vinyl Me, Please—is a 2023 club edition reissue ("VMP Classics") on 180g vinyl with lacquers cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling.https://goatless.org/2026/08/08/aretha-franklin-aretha-now-1968-on-atlantic

Acoustic Alchemy, Red Dust and Spanish Lace, 1987 on MCA
This was the debut album from Nick Webb and Greg Carmichael, aka Acoustic Alchemy. They'd later be on GRP after MCA acquired the jazz label. Great album that is also fantastic sounding - recorded by Klaus Genuit at Hansahaus (Berlin). My copy—via Residency Records in Salem MA—is a KM Records pressing that included an original MCA Masters series sleeve (see images).https://goatless.org/2026/08/07/acoustic-alchemy-red-dust-and-spanish-lace-1987-on-mca

Steve Winwood, Back In The High Life, 1986 on Island
This was Winwood's fourth solo LP and the most commercially successful. Guests include Chaka Khan (on "Higher Love"), James Ingram (on "Finer Things") and James Taylor (on "Back In The High Life Again"). That's quite a set of backing vocalists. Nile Rodgers also adds guitar on "Wake Me Up On Judgement Day." You couldn't avoid the video (for "Higher Love") in 1987 - it was nominated for a bunch of MTV awards (but lost to "Sledgehammer" wikipedia tells me). I didn't have any real clue then […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/06/steve-winwood-back-in-the-high-life-1986-on-island

Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Sporting Life Blues, 1987 on JSP Records
These recordings were made at a private party in Glasgow Scotland in 1958, and released on JSP records in 1987 (a year after Sonny Terry passed). It can be hard to find, though it seems to now be on spotify: Sporting Life Blues. (John Stedman is listed as producer on the 2025 digital release, and JSP records was John Stedman Productions). I think this is still the only vinyl edition that's been released, though perhaps it's due for a reissue.

Loudon Wainwright III, I’m Alright, 1985 on Rounder
Loudon Wainwright may be better known at this point as dad to Martha (Wainwright), Rufus (Wainright), and Lucy (Wainwright Roche) but he's also a prolific musician in his own right, putting out more than two dozen solo albums. This was his ninth album and third on Rounder Records, and was produced by Richard Thompson who also adds lead guitar on many tracks. (He's the "Rich" to Wainwright's "Loud" on the back cover photo). They also collaborated on More Love Songs in 1986 (on my want list). […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/04/loudon-wainwright-iii-im-alright-1985-on-rounder

Bill Callahan, Resuscitate!, 2024 on Drag City
This was the follow-up to 2022's Reality - a live double album recorded at Thalia Hall in Chicago, on March 6, 2023. Callahan is joined by Matt Kinsey, Jim White, and Dustin Laurenzi - great band captured midway through this tour. I've yet to have the chance to see Callahan live, but this feels like the next best thing. Here's hoping I'll see him in person soon.

Bon Iver, For Emma, Forever Ago, 2008 on Jagjaguwar
This was self-released in 2007, but came out on Jagjaguwar in 2008. It would have been hard to imagine back then just how much impact Justin Vernon (as Bon Iver and under his own name) would have as a producer and collaborator. But it is just an excellent album all around: famously recorded by himself in a hunting cabin in Wisconsin, having left behind his life in Raleigh and his previous band. Perhaps one of the most impactful solo debuts of the 21st century (so far). My copy—via […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/02/bon-iver-for-emma-forever-ago-2008-on-jagjaguwar

Arcade Fire, Reflektor, 2013 on Merge
Fourth studio LP from Montreal Quebec's Arcade Fire: a double album put out in 2013 by Sonovox and Merge in the US. James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem produced along with the band and Markus Dravs. I've also got the 12" single claiming to be by The Reflektors, which has a full fake track list and replicates as its cover one of the inner sleeves from this album (or maybe its that this album replicates as an inner sleeve the cover of The Reflektors single?).

Steely Dan, Pretzel Logic, 1974 on ABC Records
Third Steely Dan studio LP out in 1974 on ABC Records and the last to include the full quintet: Walter Becker, Donald Fagen, Denny Dias, Jim Hodder, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter - plus studio musicians. "Ricky Don't Lose That Number" may have become their most well known song over time, though I love "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" and the title track.

Squeeze, Singles: 45’s And Under, 1982 on A&M
This compilation collected Squeeze singles put out on A&M between 1978 and 1982, and become their best selling LP. The UK and US versions differ - with the US version including "If I Didn't Love You" and the UK version "Labelled With Love." The lyrics on "Goodbye Girl" also exist in two versions, with some Britishisms removed and replaced with Americanisms.

El Rego et Ses Commandos, El Rego, 2011 on Daptone
Classic Daptone reissue. Theophile De Rego started the band under the name The Jets, in what was then Dahomey (now Benin). They become El Rego et Ses Commandos in 1966. This compilation was put out by Daptone in 2011 - I don't believe it was previously issued in this form. (The hype sticker claims these 12 songs were hand-picked by Daptone). There's a great profile of El Rego and the band on NPR Music: Benin's Godfather of Funk, including a five song playlist.

Shuggie Otis, Inspiration Information, 1974 on Epic
This was the third and last Shuggie Otis studio LP on Epic, released in 1974 after three years in the making. Otis is credited with guitar, bass, organ, piano, vibes, and percussion - basically most of the instruments, with some guests on harp and horns. It became something of a cult classic - not a tremendous seller but well known to musicians, and has now been reissued multiple times. Well worth picking up if you find a copy at a reasonable cost. My copy—via private sale—is the 2009 […]https://goatless.org/2026/07/28/shuggie-otis-inspiration-information-1974-on-epic

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.

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.

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.

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

Eagles, On the Border, 1974 on Asylum
Yes, it really is just "Eagles" not "The Eagles." This was their third studio album produced mostly by Bill Szymczyk and includes "Already Gone" and "Best of My Love" and I was surprised to find a cover of Tom Waits' "Ol' 55." There's really some great music hand songwriting here. My copy—via private sale—is a Santa Maria pressing via Sterling lacquers. Required some cleanup but came out sounding quite nice.https://goatless.org/2026/07/27/eagles-on-the-border-1974-on-asylum

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.
