My entry point with #REM was "Green", it took me a few years to go back but once I did, man, what a fucking debut. Not only probably their best LP, but one of the best LP's period. Every song shines. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

#Fridayvinyl time and we're coming out swinging! We're hitting harder than a family of starving, steroid-injected Mexican quintuplets armed with crowbars smacking the shit out of a candy-filled piñata on their birthday with this stone cold classic. #CurtisMayfield #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

At Pulp's big show in Sheffield back in July I saw #LisaONeill in one of the tents. I was absolutely blind-sided. In front of a pissed-up rowdy crowd, she took me somewhere else and I found myself in absolute bits by the end. Fortunately, it was shades weather. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

#HarryNilsson and his beautiful voice have been part of my consciousness since I was wee. I can close my eyes and be instantly transported to our front room in the 70's and that heavenly instrument piping from the binatone. He remains a favourite to this day. #Fridayvinyl #VinyCommunity #Vinylsky

My first memory of #Kraftwerk was "The Model" topping the charts in '81, but it wasn't until 10 years later, aged 17, that this remix LP hit home their genius. And now, next May and 35 years later, I'm off to see them live literally 10 minutes from my front door. Magic. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity

I can pinpoint times that I followed a different path through certain LP's. When #Verve (Yes, Verve begone with your definitive article) released this debut in '93 I jumped from my Seattle obsession to home grown psych (never shoegaze). Remember them this way. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

3 hours kip after last night's shift means it's time to shut up shop with, guess who? #TheIncredibleJimmySmith of course. Here's our Hammond hero in '66 and he's our "Hoochie Coochie Man".'til next week then, stay safe, stay loose and stay lovely. Peace.x #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #Jazz

The passing of #RichardSwift at just 41 was an absolute tragedy. Far too often labelled as a sideman, he had the voice, the songwriting chops and the musical skill to rival any of the acts he enhanced. Evident here on this comp from 2024. I miss him immensely. #Fridayvinyl #VinyCommunity #Vinylwky

I woke up at four this morning with a Belle & Sebastian megamix earworm rattling through my brain. No idea why. They were a dead cert for a spin this #Fridayvinyl, but I currently find myself hankering for some Fall. As time is tight and it's #FallFriday here's #TheFall #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

October then..where did that come from? Thoughts turn to dark nights, sitting rooms and comforting sounds. #IvorCutler has always been a source of warmth for me, despite his sometimes unsettling songs. Here's 1982's "Privilege" #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

I was driving back to my digs after a night shift the other morning and #JimiHendrix came up on shuffle.
Specifically the title track to this debut, and I thought fuck me, it's been a while since I spun that. So here it is. A bonafide classic. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

This record turned 60 years old Monday gone. If ever there was a definition of timeless...Otis runs the full gamut on here, that marvellous instrument of his conveying true soul in the purest sense of the word. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #OtisRedding

There's a definite seasonal change in the air and, as the nights draw in and the mercury drops, I turn to comforting sounds. #VinceGuaraldi has always provided a jazz blanket in my hour of need. This twofer reissue could warm any cockle. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity

As mentioned, I'm currently working in a wet, wild and windy Cumbria and home for one night a week for the foreseeable. It's a pretty lonely existence with plenty of pondering time. Thoughts inevitably turn to care free days. This LP captures those times. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #AztecCamera

What do you do when you can't decide which #TheincredibleJimmySmith LP to close #Fridayvinyl with? You plump for a comp. This '66 Japanese release features big hitters and LP cuts and it's all gold itellsyer! 'til next week then, stay safe, stay loose and stay lovely! #Vinylcommunity #Vinylsky #Jazz

#Fridayvinyl time! I'm back from a 6 night stint working in Carlisle (Back again tomorrow) and to my delight the new LP from #BobbyConn was waiting for me. His first since 2020's 'Recovery' and by all accounts it's up there with his barmy best. Going in.. #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #Nowplaying

I had something else lined up for my penultimate #Fridayvinyl spin, but @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social posted the Roses debut and it sparked my love for their oft maligned follow up. Proof once more that critics can invariably kiss my shiny metal ass. It's fucking magic. #StoneRoses #VinylCommunity

A lovely holiday followed by a week working in wet and wild Cumbria with a hideous chest infection but #Fridayvinyl is back, back BACK! I mark my return with one of the most underrated LP's of the 90's, #VelvetCrush and their 2nd album, 94's, "Teenage Symphonies To God" #VinylCommunity

A debut spin for #SaintEtienne's latest (and, sob, final) album next. I've managed to avoid any tracks from this so it's truly a virgin listen but I know it's going to be ace, Pete, Bob and Sarah haven't let me down in 35 years, why would they with their swansong? #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity
