Solo debut album by the @gratefuldead.bsky.social singer and guitarist Bob Weir. Released in 1972, I love this album and it is essentially a #GratefulDead album. His band mates back him and most of the songs ended up being played for years to come at the Dead’s concerts. #BobWeir #Ace

One of my fav albums of 2024, the 2nd album by @dreammachinehq.bsky.social , their best release so far. It was produced by @jamesskelly.bsky.social who is quickly becoming one of my fav producers, a modern day Ian Broudie. Thi is the Dinked Edition which is a fabulous package. #TheDreamMachine

The Coral - On Track With SEAT This is one of the crown jewels of my record collection, that has nothing to do w/price but the value it has to me and this one I looked for like crazy until I finally got it. (More info on this release in the second pic) #TheCoral @thecoral.bsky.social

Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger (20th Anniversary Edition) Box set reissue of @maximopark.bsky.social debut album, that includes the original LP, the b-sides compilation Missing Songs and a 3rd disc or rarities that includes some demos and a couple of fantastic songs from radio sessions.

One of my most sought out albums on vinyl has finally arrived in Ecuador 🇪🇨, @thecoral.bsky.social fourth album The Invisible Invasion. Originally released in 2005, I have waited for ages to be able to get it on vinyl. This is the new reissue recently released for National Album Day. #TheCoral

Brooke Combe - Dancing On The Edge Of The World Fantastic debut album by @brookecombe.bsky.social Produced by @jamesskelly.bsky.social , this Dinked version includes a bonus 7” with a superb version of the title track with James on vocals, absolutely essential for a @thecoral.bsky.social fan

Oasis - Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary Edition) Gorgeous version of the iconic @oasis debut album, released by @BloodRecs on yellow/blue/white vinyl with a lenticular sleeve. Perfect Saturday tunes ✊ #Oasis #DefinitelyMaybe #NoelGallagher #LiamGallagher #vinyl

Shack - Comedy One of my all time fav singles was released on this day in 1999, Comedy by @Shack_Band Not only is it one of the best songs of the 90s, but the B-Sides are absolutely ace. The video is from their recent reunion gig in Manchester, simply sublime ✊❤️ #Shack

Young Gun Silver Fox - Pleasure Fifth studio album by this fantastic soulful duo, another winner. Every one of their albums are fantastic and this one might be their best yet. One of my favorites of the year so far, can’t recommend it enough. #YoungGunSilverFox #Pleasure #vinyl #vinylcollection

The word genius gets used a lot in music, but sometimes it is absolutely deserved. Brian Wilson is one of those cases, an absolute genius. RIP Brian. Thanks for everything ❤️ #BrianWilson #TheBeachBoys #PetSounds #vinyl #vinylcollection

Bruce Springsteen- Darkness On The Edge Of Town The Boss released his fourth album this past week back in 1978. Another masterpiece as the follow up to Born To Run, this album includes classics like Badlands and The Promised Land. #BruceSpringsteen #TheBoss #vinyl #vinylcollection #cgvinylreels

Dinked edition of my fav 2023 album, one of the many @thecoral.bsky.social ‘s masterpieces, Sea Of Mirrors Limited to 1,500 copies, it’s essential. Comes in a gorgeous splatter vinyl & includes a 7” single with 2 exclusive tracks. Looking For A Friend should be a a single if you ask me

Self titled 3rd album by @supergrasshq.bsky.social , originally released in 1999. Often referred to as the X-ray album, this is the 3rd straight masterpiece released by one of my all time fav bands. Excitement building up as I will get to see them live after being a fan for over 2 decades✊

Cosmic Rough Riders - Enjoy The Melodic Sunshine One of Scotland’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 finest and most underrated bands, the fantastic Cosmic Rough Riders. Released in 2000, this is a compilation of their first two albums: Deliverance (1999) and one of my favorite, Panorama (2000).

One of my fav #BobDylan albums, his 17th originally released this past week in 1976. The follow up to Blood On The Tracks is another masterpiece. Released in between the two legs of his famous Rolling Thunder Revue tour. It includes 2 of my all time favs: Hurricane and Romance In Durango

#TheBlueNile - A Walk Across The Rooftops Debut album released in 1984. Another gem by these Scottish greats. Unlike their 2nd album Hats, it wasn’t a success when released (although it was critically acclaimed), but over the years it has grown to now be considered a classic

It’s time for my yearly tradition: my top 20 albums of the year A great year in music, this was probably the hardest ever to choose 20 as my shortlist included a whopping 64 albums released in 2024 I hope you discover something new in my list✊ #AlbumsOfTheYear #BestOf2024

The 5th album by #BobDylan is one of the greatest ever The 1sr ever Folk Rock album, he used electric instruments for the 1st time on side 1 while side 2 is mainly acoustic. What also marked a new direction was he abandoned protest music in favor of more surreal & complex lyrics
