Finishing up my weekend with this breakthrough for #5debutalbums50s60s. I find this “free jazz” record to be totally listenable and quite enjoyable. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s was this one from 1958. He really was amazing! #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

Just spun this, but it doesn’t qualify for #5debutalbums50s60s. It’s from ‘62 at the peak of surf guitar music. Pretty good in that context, though #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s is the first of two Buddy Holly slabs. He recorded with the Crickets and solo. Thus was the first one #johnsvinyl

First up for #5debutalbums50s60s is this classic and should-be contender. Thankfully I have a mono switch on my amp to remove the fake stereo. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

My top 5 for #5debutalbums9094 weren’t too hard to choose. I had already mostly narrowed them down by being in #johnsvinyl instead of #johnsCDs.
1. Sugar—Copper Blue
2. Sundays—Reading…
3. STP—Core

5. AiC—Facelift
Thanks again, Rich, for facilitating this!

Against my best judgment, I’ve been watching the disgusting news out of Minneapolis. Turning it off and spinning a few more of #johnsCDs for #5debutalbums9094 #nowplaying #LOUD.
