VINYL RECORD COLLECTING: My Picks of the Top Ten Albums that Need to be Issued on Vinyl for their Very First Time...

1. Natalie Merchant - OPHELIA

This is the second studio album by the former lead singer of 10,000 Maniacs released in 1998. It includes her hit songs “Kind & Generous” and “Break Your Heart”. Released during the CD era of the time, vinyl records were rarely being pressed. Recently, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab released her first album TIGERLILY on two LP vinyl records. It is about time that this album also gets the vinyl record treatment.

2. One EskimO – One EskimO  (aka All Balloons)

English singer Kristian Leontiou is the lead singer of the indie rock band One EskimO and released an amazing album in 2009. The album is listed as both “One EskimO” and “All Balloons”. I tend to go with Discogs that has it listed as “All Balloons”. The atmospheric album, which to my ears sounds like it was influenced by David Bowie, is a very emotional journey with the story of a man in love with a woman who struggles in love. The entire album from start to finish is excellent with each song. The song “Kandi” is a stand out alongwith “Astronauts”, “Simple Day” and the close out “Amazing”. I’m surprised this album hasn’t had more attention. Go to One Eskimo Vinyl Records & Discography - Vinyl Me, Please to ask them to release this on vinyl.

3. B.B. King - Let The Good Times Roll (The Music Of Louis Jordan)

One of my favorite musical artists is the “King of the Jukeboxes” – Louis Jordan. With his orchestra. Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five rocked the juke joints through the 1930’s to the early 1950’s with hits like “Caledonia”, “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie”, “Saturday Night Fish Fry”, “Let The Good Times Roll”, and so many many more. One of my other favorite musical artists is the “King of The Blues” – B.B. King.

Back in 1999, B.B. King released an album that was completely a cover of Louis Jordan’s songs. B.B. King has been on record many times for stating that Louis Jordan was one of his greatest influences. Here he pays tribute. Go to B.B. King Vinyl Records & Discography - Vinyl Me, Please to ask them to release this on vinyl.

4. B.B. King – BLUES ON THE BAYOU

Another B.B. King album on my list. There are actually several that have not been released on vinyl or are just out of print, but this list spotlights three of them. The other one is this 1998 album. B.B. King went into the studio with his band to record this album in just four days, He wrote in the linear notes, "Found some old B. B. King songs. Wrote some new ones. [...] All live, all real. No overdubs, no high-tech tricks. Just basic blues." The album won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album. Maybe Elemental Music might want to press this on vinyl for the first time? https://www.elemental-music.com/

5. Paul McCartney and Wings – WINGS OVER EUROPE

Okay. This is a long shot and will probably never happen. In 2018, Paul McCartney released a combined Archive Collection CD Box Set that contained both RED ROSE SPEEDWAY and WINGS WILD LIFE into an exclusive box set entitled WINGS 1971-73 that included a bonus live album of WINGS OVER EUROPE. The Box Set sold out in minutes online and I was unable to purchase a copy. The 1972 live album was unfortunately not sold separately, however I was able to acquire just the CD off of eBay from a seller. My CD looks legitimate but could possibly be a counterfeit. It is hard to tell. Still, I really want to see this released on vinyl record since it has not yet. Perhaps a Record Store Day exclusive?

6. John Lennon – ACOUSTIC

In 2004, Capitol Records released ACOUSTIC. This contained is a compilation of John Lennon’s solo era demos, studio and live performances featuring his acoustic guitar work. The album was met with criticism as many of the song had appeared on one of his compilations albums previous with the others were available unofficially on the LOST LENNON TAPES set of bootleg albums.  The album was taken out of print and you cannot officially stream it anywhere. I do have the original Capitol Records CD and admit I haven’t listened to it in over a decade, but realized when making this list that it would be a good addition now since the bootleg material is now hard to find and expensive and the other anthology is out of print also.

7. The Beatles – GET BACK – THE ROOFTOP PERFORMANCE *

In 2022, Disney+ released the marvelous Peter Jackson produced series GET BACK which featured the Beatles recording LET IT BE. He would also clean up the LET IT BE film for a release that came out about a year ago. At the same time, Giles Martin released a remastered anniversary box set of LET IT BE that include outtakes and the original Glynn Johns album. There were many extras, however the glaring omission was the Beatles Rooftop performance. This classic performance first seen in the LET IT BE film is the culmination of these sessions which was the last time all four would play live together on the rooftop of their Apple Records office building in downtown London on January 30, 1969 with Billy Preston on keyboards.   

Since it was wrongly omitted in the LET IT BE boxset, many Beatles fans expected this album would be released separately --- and it officially was released by The Beatles as it can be found available for streaming format ONLY. Not on any physical media!!!  (I’m listening to it at the moment as I write this on YouTube Music). Why oh why it hasn’t been released in physical media on CD or vinyl record I do not know. This concert was often bootlegged over the years, but The Beatles and Martin put together an “official” cleaned up copy. (*Some bootleggers recently ripped the new audio and put out their own counterfeit vinyl record bootleg using these new audio upgrades and even used the official cover of the album cover using the new branding and art. I confess that I bought a copy on eBay. However, I would love to see Apple Records release an official version and I think Beatles fans deserve this.)

8. Johnny Cash / Willie Nelson – VH1 STORYTELLERS

Another one of those albums released in 1998 that did not get a vinyl record release. This was Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson sitting down with a small studio audience taking turns on playing each other’s songs together, joking, and telling stories. This album was produced by Rick Rubin during that resurgence era for Johnny Cash and is one of his last live recordings released before his death. It is a treat to hear these two friends sit around on their stools, play their acoustic guitars, and sing together. Available on CD and streaming, it would be nice to have a vinyl copy edition.

9. B.B. King – LIVE

Okay, I am slipping in a third B.B. King album needing released on vinyl. In 2008, B.B. King released an album of his live show from Memphis in his club. This show was released on CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray at the time, but missed the vinyl record treatment as it happened just when the vinyl resurgence was about to take off. I particularly enjoyed this album because it represented what I saw live in concert with B.B. King at that time.

10. Jim Byrnes – FRESH HORSES

One of my favorite modern bluesmen is actor/singer Jim Byrnes who is originally from St. Louis and has been living up in Canada for decades now. He has won many Blues Album awards in Canada and worked with many blues artists. Most of Jim’s discography is available only on CD and only a few albums are available through streaming. However, his album FRESH HORSES released in 2004 is such a great album. I wish all of his albums would receive more recognition and receive vinyl record treatment, but this album in particular.

 

I hope in a year or two, that some of these albums will be issued on vinyl for the first time.

What are some of your favorite albums never released on vinyl that you would like to see pressed?

Next time, I will write about ten albums that I think should be re-released on vinyl records with a new pressing.

 

Blog Sub-Titles added for Hobbies and Interests.

While my website doubles as a personal blog, the topics do tend to stray. I have a myriad of hobbies and interests as well as a host of projects that I work on. Plus, I like to talk about life and such.

I have decided to go back through my blog posts and those blogs that focused on a certain subject, I have decided to categorize them for browsing ease.

The topics thus far that I am singling out:

• THRILL SEEKER COMICS™ — my creator-owned independent comic book series and universe published by Bandito Entertainment™ featuring Yellow Jacket: Man of Mystery™, Ms. Tittenhurst: Finder of Lost Things™, and The Emerald Mantis™.
• SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ — my independent comic strips featuring the Public Domain Popeye and friends
• COMICS — general topic related to all things that are comic book and comic strips related that might cover Green Arrow, Batman, Superman, Popeye, and everything else. It also may include topics of my comic book career.
• PHILATELY — topics and photography of those things related to collecting postage stamps. 
• VINYL RECORD COLLECTING — topics, reviews, and articles related to music and vinyl record collecting.
• FILMS — topics, reviews, and articles related to cinema and what movies that I am watching or recommending.
• ACTION FIGURES — topics, reviews, photographs, and articles related to action figures that may include Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Mego, Popeye, and more.

All other general topics or things about life will just be posted with whatever title seems appropriate to me, but the topics that fit under one of those bulleted topics above will have the sub-title added to help readers browse the subjects that they might want to read about.

I hope this helps organize the posts that are on these wide range of topics.

VINYL RECORD COLLECTING: Intro and My Record Collecting Music Habits Over the Years

This is my first in a series of articles related to Vinyl Record Collecting that I wanted to share my thoughts on with others who also love digging in crates and listening and collecting vinyl records.

Like many of you probably reading this, I am an avid record collector. Ever since my childhood, I have been collecting and listening to music with a passion. I am a Gen X music lover. So, I started listening to music on my parents turntable with their records, graduated to cassette tapes in my youth on my Sony Walkman, then in high school I abandoned cassettes and made the switch to Compact Discs (CDs) when that became all the rage. In the late 1980’s, while collecting and listening to CDs was my primary “go to” medium, I still collected vinyl records – usually albums that I couldn’t find on CD or if I just wanted to buy some “cheap” music since CDs were so expensive. In addition, some bootlegs were still vinyl only.

During my senior year of high school and for a few years on my college breaks, I worked in Springfield at White Oaks Mall in various record stores. I loved this job so much working around music. I watched LPs and cassettes dwindle as CDs took off during this short time period. One of the fringe benefits of working at the record store was that I took home free promo vinyl records and CDs after they had expired with their promotional marketing timeframes.

As I moved into the 1990’s and towards the 21^st Century, I still bought CDs and the occasional vinyl record, but I embraced the Napster era moving and listened to MP3s on my Apple iPod in the early 2000’s. For many years, my record collection sat in storage and I didn’t listen to them. I did sell some of my vinyl records when money was tight. Somewhere around 2006, I bought a Sony USB turntable with a USB plug where I could “rip” my vinyl records to make digital copies of my music to turn into MP3 files for my iPod and listen to in iTunes. I dusted off my records and began listening to them.

In 2008, the Annual Record Store Day launched here in America after it had successfully started a year earlier in the UK. I mentioned that I had broken out my old vinyl record collection in their crates and had begun listening to them on my new turntable. With the resurgence in vinyl moving into the 2010 decade, I began purchasing new albums on vinyl as well as the same copy on CD. I was feeling nostalgic for collecting and listening to vinyl records again.

(I digress for a moment… I never used to call it “vinyl” in my younger days. I just collected and listened to “records”. However, I have adapted over the past few decades to using the term “vinyl” together with “records” to call them “vinyl records”. I know the younger folks today just use the term “vinyl”, though I cringe when they use the incorrect plural form “vinyls” which I do not recognize as a proper term, I guess I am an old Gen X fogey.)

Somewhere around 2012 to 2016, life threw me some curveballs and I went through a difficult divorce and a job loss when the college that I worked at had closed. I had to sell some of my records to help pay the bills. Mainly some expensive bootleg records. Most of the music I was listening to at the time was digital as I had to put my record collection and my CDs back into storage during the separation and divorce. “Streaming” music had become popular with Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Prime, iTunes, SiriusXM, and YouTube Music. I was getting my music fix that way, but was missing listening to records most of all. I began playing around with listening to FLAC audio files instead of lesser quality sounding MP3s.

Life settled down for me with purchasing a new home and I was able to set up my stereo system and get my records and CDs again. I began collecting some records again and went to some more Record Store Day events with my pal Ron Rice. The Beatles had re-released and remastered their British discography in 2009 on CD and on vinyl records in 2014. Picking up those Beatles records on vinyl was invigorating for this record collector and I realized that I preferred to listen to the music on a turntable.

In 2016, in my post-divorce years and still single, I bought a new home to live in by myself. I sat up my stereo equipment and the Sony USB turntable. I got out my CDs and records to listen to once again.  I still had my original vintage Cerwin Vega 200 SE speakers from high school. When I played my music, everything sound horrible and then upon investigation, I realized that that after several decades, the foam cones in the speakers had corroded and fallen apart. Watching some YouTube videos, I learned how to “re-cone” my vintage speakers and restore them. It was cheaper than buying new speakers, plus I loved those vintage speakers (they still serve me well).

It was then, almost exactly nine years ago, I decided it was ridiculous to buy “new” albums in both vinyl and CD formats. Sure, some of The Beatles re-released had CD-only tracks, but for the most part, unless it was The Beatles or Sting/The Police, I decided I was going to stick solely to buying and collecting vinyl records and ditch buying new CDs. I had gone full circle.

Over the 2010 decade, I slowly began to “replace” my CDs with vinyl record copies, as I preferred to listen to my music on analog vinyl records. I began reselling some of my old CDs. Some I would keep no matter what, but I realized I was rarely listening to CDs at all.

Do I still buy CDs? Yes, on rare occasion if the album is either not available on vinyl or if the CD has extra tracks not available on vinyl. Again, especially if it is Beatles or Sting related.

In 2023, I upgraded my stereo equipment with a new Dual CD 429 turntable using and Ortofon 2m Blue moving magnet cartridge. I was running it through a Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 Phono Preamplifier using tubes into my brand-new Yamaha R-N602 Digital Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth. I still had my original restore vintage Cerwin Vega 200 SE speakers, but I added on to them with a pair of Cerwin-Vega SL-5M bookshelf speakers and a Cerwin Vega LW-10 Subwoofer for some extra bass to help fill the sound of the acoustics in the big room. I still have my Pioneer PD-M403 6CD multiplayer compact disc player that I got in college. It still does the trick.

Now, in the 2020s and moving in the future…. I will just purchase and listen to vinyl records at home and keep up this collection. I intend to let go of as many CDs as I replace though I will keep some sentimental CDs that mean something personally to me. I still will keep all my Beatles and Sting/The Police related CDs as those artists have always been my favorites.

Soon, I will write on more topics regarding record collecting. I will share what I am listening to as well as offer my thoughts on the hobby and vinyl community.

Until next time, keep digging in those record bins!

FILMS: Find Me on LETTERBOXD

Are you a film buff like I am?

I recently stumbled upon the website Letterboxd where a person can catalog, track, rate, and comment on all of the movies that they have seen as well as make a watchlist of films they want to view. They can then connect with like-minded moviegoers and compare notes.

I'm connected there with my son Mitchell. We share a love and strong bond of watching movies together and discussing them. About 25 years ago, with my pal and colleague Ryan Reeves, we used to run a film club at Springfield College in Illinois (before the college was absorbed into Benedictine University and later permanently closed). It was one of my favorite memories and expediences of working at that college for those 20 years.

I'm still going through the website and cataloging the films that I have seen in my lifetime. I've got listed over 800 films so far, but I know that I've seen more than than over the last five decades or so. I will keep looking at lists and try to remember so that I can input them into the site.

Anyway, you can find me on Letterboxd and can connect with me with a follow if you like...

 

 

 

PHILATELY: Great Britain Stamps of King Edward VIII and his brother King George VI

Not everyone knows this, but I am a Philatelist... a person who collects and studies postage stamps and postal history. I started collecting stamps when I was a child at the age of six when my father would take me to his local hobby shop where he collected coins. I needed something to do and stamp collecting seemed the logical thing to keep me occupied I guess?

From about age six to twelve, I continued collecting stamps and was even in a stamp collecting club in middle school. As I entered my teenage years, I walked away from the hobby, but over the next 30 years I would still squirrel away stamps and put them in a folder if I came across a "cool" looking one. 

During lockdown with the pandemic in 2020, I found my old childhood stamp album and it reignited my passion for stamp collecting where I have taken it on with full enthusiasm. My wife Jennifer calls it my "old man hobby" that I will now be able to do in my retirement years. I now have more stamp albums than I can count as I dive into philately. In my studies, I discovered that President F.D.R. was a stamp collector and tried to take a few hours every Sunday afternoon to work on his collection. I try to do the same thing.

From time to time, I will post certain pages from my stamp collection and share.

 

This page is a full page of British stamps featuring Kind Edward VIII (top four stamps on this page) who abdicated his thrown to marry a divorced American socialite named Wallis Simpson in 1936. That was the same year he became King of England after his father King George V had passed away. 

King Edward VIII abdicated his throne to his brother who became King George VI (and father to Queen Elizabeth II). 

All of these stamps are in mint condition and were never cancelled marked. I acquired these from a stamp shop in England that mailed them to me. I really love the colors and royal look of them.

One thing about stamp collecting -- it appeals to those who have an interest in art, history, sociology, and geography.

More Lost Blogs Found... Three Blogs from 2002 when I started on Blogger.

A follow up from my last post about restoring blog entries from 2008. This time, I updated my blog late last night after finding some "lost" blog entries from 2002 over on the Internet Archive's WAYBACK website. This was my first foray into blogging here on Blogger back in the day. 

There are only three blog posts. I wasn't good about regularly posting and only did so on occasions. One of the blogs is an interview that is a little out of date with my feelings now, but it is there for posterity as a record.

The three lost blogs have been restored here with links below.

Revisiting the Year 2008 and Restoring Deleted Blog Entries from that year

Thanks to the WAYBACK MACHINE (Internet Archive), I spent some time this morning revisiting archived Blog posts that I made way back during the year 2008.

Back then, I was a 37-year old father and still struggling in my relationship of my first marriage. Our children were young. My daughter Rachel was 12 and my son Mitch was 8. My "day job" consisted of working as a graphic designer and adjunct art instructor at Springfield College - Benedictine University. A few years earlier, I had been selected to be a church elder at our Missouri Synod Lutheran Church and I wasn't even in there for the meeting and vote. I was a brown belt in Yoshukai Karate studying and practicing at dojos in both Springfield and Lincoln, Illinois getting ready for my black belt test. I was also playing bass guitar with two fellow black belts in a bar band called THE RAMBLIN' ELK.

That summer, we took a family vacation to California to go to Disneyland. I also revisited my old home in Fresno, California. I attended a comic book convention that year and also saw The Police reunited in concert. Just two years earlier, Shooting Star Comics, LLC had disbanded and our independent comic book company had broken up. My parents came up for a visit in Illinois and we made one trip to see them in Memphis. I was still trying to break into comics, but karate and playing in a bar band was taking priority in my life. It was during this year that I faced the realization that I was NOT going to work full-time in comics (and get that coveted gig writing GREEN ARROW). It was a dream that I had to face that was NOT going to happen for me.

2008 was good, bad, and ugly for me... but for what I remember, I pushed myself hard in trying to be a better father, husband, Christian, musician, karate student, and artist. I was trying so hard to please everybody and not make anyone mad or not like me.

I found some old blog posts on the Internet Archive that I had previously deleted after my separation and divorce. It was an emotionally tough time for me, but after a decade, I have undergone some emotional healing. Upon finding these old blog posts, I decided to restore them to this blog here in the year 2025 even if there is mention of my ex-wife Roxie (She is a wonderful mother to our children and I only wish the best for her in life). 

So much has changed in my life since then (and I have also remarried a second time to a wonderful woman from Texas named Jennifer), but I want to preserve this as a record of my life. In the future, I intend to go back to other years of my life and see if I can restore old blog entries and things that I wrote. Some may be painful due to the separation and divorce in 2012-2013 with my ex-wife Roxie and those VERY difficult years that followed afterwards, but I am going to see what I can preserve and restore.

I didn't blog too often, but I did blog over the years. 2008 had some interesting posts (including a couple of local newspaper interviews with me). I have restored the important blogs from that year. Not everything was restored as a few didn't need to be, but if you look, you will now find them in the archive of this blog.

VINYL RECORD COLLECTING: Just Arrived! Deluxe Edition of My Gateway Drug to Meeting The Beatles

Late to the game, I just picked up my copy today of THE BEATLES 1962-1966 & THE BEATLES 1967-1970 (2023 Limited Edition) 6 LP box set. I originally wasn't going to get this since I own the individual albums in several variations, but this was on sale for about $100 and I couldn't pass it by this time. It has remixes of all of the tracks and I wanted to give it a listen. Especially the stereo mixes of the early material since Peter Jackson's software can pull apart the individual elements out of a mono recording. 

This compilation box set even includes The Beatles' "new" song "Now and Then", which was finished and released last year by the band's living members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, just won a best rock performance Grammy last Sunday. So THAT'S a bonus. (However, I do have a copy of the 7 inch single, but it is nice to have it on a full album with the rest of their body of work. I digress.)

What is interesting, the The Beatles 1962-1966 ("Red Album") and The Beatles 1967-1970 ("Blue Album" albums were my original "Gateway Drug to The Beatles" when I was a little kid. Around 1978 or so, The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton starred in the really terrible SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND movie that took the characters from The Beatles songs and placed them in a storyline. I won't get into the movie... but it was a shit movie. It isn't a knock against the musicians or some of my favorite actors like Steve Martin. Just a shit movie.

However, my father bought the soundtrack and I played it to death. Along with STARS ON 45 that had a Beatles medley with Beatle sound-a-like singers.  He got so sick of me playing those albums as it was just cover songs of The Beatles that he decided to introduce me to "the real thing".

He got me the two compilation albums and from about 1979 to 1985, that was all of The Beatles that I would listen to at home on the turntable until I was introduced to the original SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND and ABBEY ROAD albums by my Uncle Mike. I immediately bought those two albums on cassette tape with my allowance money. Then in 1987, EMI/Capitol Records released the original UK Beatles albums onto CD when I was a sophomore in high school. My father offered me the gift of either getting a class ring or this brand new thing called a CD Player. Guess what I chose?

Then with money earned with my new job working at Godfather's Pizza when I was sixteen, I spent it on buying all of The Beatles album on CD that year. I rarely returned to listening to the "Red and Blue" Greatest Hits albums as it was a moot point. 

But now, all these years later, I look forward to giving this "expanded" album box set a good listen.

Goo goo gajoob!

Recommended: KICKSTARTER for Mike Grell's 50th Anniversary Art Book Volumes 1 and 2

This past week, I received in the mail my copy of Mike Grell 50th Anniversary Art Book Volume 1. It is a fantastic book by one of my favorite comic book writers and artists that was launched last year on Kickstarter.

Mike Grell is renowned for his work on his comic book creations THE WARLORD (DC Comics) and JON SABLE: FREELANCE (creator-owned). But for me, it was his work on GREEN ARROW for DC Comics that caught my eye.

Mike Grell inspired me when I was kid to want to be BOTH a comic book writer and artist combined when I grew up. And in essence, I did that.

I even had the chance to meet him in person and later collaborate with him on a comic book cover for Shooting Star Comics in which he illustrated my character YELLOW JACKET: MAN OF MYSTERY from THRILL SEEKER COMICS on it and I did the graphic design and digitally colored the cover of his work. I still own Mike's original artwork and contributed a high-res image of it for Volume 2 of this upcoming book.

Volume 1 of the Mike Grell Art Book covered his career from 1973 to 1992, taking fans up to his work on James Bond!

Volume 2 picks up with Shaman's Tears, and brings us all the way to modern day, including some brand new pieces that are sneak peeks of sorts for some great things to come from Mike Grell during his second 50 years in comics! 

They have interviews with Mike, about his career, and a deep insight into his approach as an artist.

I can't recommend this enough if you're an old school comic book fan. Along the way, I'm sure many of you like me fell in love with his work.

Check it out on Kickstarter. This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Thu, February 20 2025 10:59 PM CST.
