vinyl crate
My aunt M and uncle J have recently given me a large collection of vinyl records from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that belonged to friends of theirs who no longer wanted them. I've been collecting vinyl for quite some time. Funny enough, I have not really spent a lot of time with albums like these so here I am sorting through them, listening to each, and deciding which I'd like to keep.
| Artist | Record Name | Format | Thoughts | Listened? | Keep? |
| Pink Floyd | Dark Side of the Moon | 12" | Yeah, I mean this is a classic for a reason. The journey of the record is fantastic, the songs are strong. | Yes | Yes |
| R.E.M. | The One I Love | 7" | The A side of this is sick. The B side, a solo live recording of Maps and Legends, is bizarre, and not a really great performance in my opinion. The vinyl itself is also a little damaged so it doesn't sound that great. If both sides were as awesome as side A I would definitely want to keep. | Yes | Maybe |
| Simple Minds | Sanctify Yourself | 7" | I've never heard of this before. Going in totally blind. I feel like this is kinda sick? The chorus is a bit schmatlzy and cheesy synth sounds for me. I don't hate it. B-side is a dub version of the same song. The isolated guitar in the dub version is actually really sick and maybe better than the original track? Yeah, this B-side is so cool. | Yes | Yes |
