WEEN
White Pepper
2026 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissue
Green Pepper vinyl

The SECOND of the two Ween reissue purchases today.
This is NOT cut at #45rpm like Quebec is, but it sounds phenomenal.

I’ve owned a Plain Recordings reissue (yuck!) of this on white vinyl for a long time, and I was always disgusted by how it sounds.

THIS makes up for that time of agony.

Thank you, Rhino for finally delivering a great sounding press of this at a decent price.

“Exactly Where I’m At” has entered the chat about the greatest all-time album openers of all time.

And yes, once again…

All. Hail. Boognish.
Forever.

WEEN
Quebec
2026 U.S. 2xLP reissue @ #45rpm
Magenta/Red (?) vinyl

Finally!
Picked up BOTH of the new Ween reissues today, but THIS is the one I’m most excited about.

2 LPs cut at 45rpm, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how my SECOND favorite Ween album sounds.

Puzzling that it was hyped as being red and magenta colored, when CLEARLY one of them is a cream/off-white color.
It doesn’t really matter.

I’ve wanted this magnum opus on vinyl for quite some time, and my copy sounds STELLAR on all four sides. I haven’t even sonic cleaned it yet!

Long live Boognish.
For eternity and long after that.

Adam Ant "Goody Two Shoes" US Epic 1982

Adam Ant's first and highest charting hit in North America, 3rd No. 1 in the UK. I do have to wonder, given how this is a satire of Ant's portrayal in the UK tab's, I wonder what drove the popularity in the US? For me, it was the playful lyrics and driving drums that really caught my ear.

40 years ago today, May 3, 1986, Malchak & Rucker debuted at #82 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Let Me Down Easy”. It went on to peak at #67 and spent a total of 5 weeks on the chart.

It’s been my hobby to collect 45 RPM singles. This is one I rescued from the garbage at 650 AM KYAK in early 1987 when I was an intern there at the station.

38 years ago today, April 23, 1988, Libby Hurley debuted at #86 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Don’t Talk to Me”. It went on to peak at #59 and spent a total of 8 weeks on the chart.

I don't believe we even added this song to our music rotation. I remember that we played her previous single, “You Just Watch Me” quite a bit on AM 650 KYAK even after it peaked at a not very successful #43.

ROBERT SCHROEDER
Mosaique
1981 Germany pressing
@ #45rpm

An excellent chapter from the book of Berlin-School electronics.

The third Schroeder album (produced by Klaus Schulze), it utilizes the brand-new-at-the-time PPG WAVE 2, a German built #synthesizer that gained such notoriety, that literally everybody started using them. It is an endless list of who’s who when it comes to early #80s synth music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Tangerine Dream and David Bowie to name just a few).

Here, Schroeder blends the PPG with guitar, bass and drum flawlessly. The album sounds incredible, and creates quite the atmosphere.

I’ve mentioned on here before about my penchant for records that are great for playing whilst pursuing other creative endeavours like drawing, painting, etc, and this one fits that bill perfectly.

SLINT
Untitled (Albini Rough Mixes)
2026 RSD Ltd. Edition
@ #45rpm
Grey Matter vinyl

Diving into the last few pieces of the #rsd titles, and this was a pleasant surprise.

A wonderful sounding reissue of the ‘94 release.

Albini was a great champion for Slint from the beginning, and when a different band booked recording time with him and DIDNT show up, Steve invited Slint into the studio, and recorded these songs instead.

Touch And Go eventually acquiesced and signed the band, after originally rejecting Tweez, and telling the band AND Albini that they weren’t interested.

What came following was a little album called Spiderland.

It was also very heartwarming to open up the open cardboard and see that picture of Steve.

A lovely tribute, and an incredible sounding pair of songs.

WEEN
Europe 90
2026 U.S. 3xLP Ltd. Edition RSD
@ #45rpm

It pays to know people.

Got ALL of my RSD stuff early, with THIS being the crown jewel.

Some of the “brownest” Ween ever, and for ANY disciple of Gene, Dean AND Boognish, this is pure gold.
Pure. BROWN. Gold.

For me, it’s worth having for the long lost studio sessions recorded in Eindhoven, which has an incredible “Albino Sunburn Girl” and a dope version of “Push th’ Little Daisies”.

According to Dean, the “Live in Basel 1990” portion of this is the best Ween show of all time.
They played in front of one person (their manager) for the majority of the gig, and by the end, there were five.

That’s progress, bro.
