The finds thraeds on the strut remain a highlight for me. In the spirit of giving, can we please liberate some of these things?
Here are the rules:
- Share a song or album that came into your life on vinyl in 2013, that you recommend to others, and that's not commonly/commercially available elsewhere. If possible, include an image of the label or cover. 320 bitrate or VBR is preferred, but whatever. If you shared something earlier in the year and don't think it got much attention, feel free to re-poast here.
- Make your contribution available for DOWNLOAD (pretty please?) here on Friday, January 10 2014 (or earlier, if need be). That should give you enough time to rip your ting. This also gives time for late-breaking finds and holiday gifts to be included.
That simple.
Anyone else game?

jan 3 gives you until NEXT YEAR to get something together!
I'd love to get a load of stuff from this thread if people post stuff you can't hear on the internet. Exciting innit.
fan-f-cking-tastic
Been needing to get it on Sir Otto for a minute as it is.
poasting commercially available stuff could be bad for the site, no? maybe make up a codename/acronym when you poast so we don't draw any unwanted attention?
i've been ripping...
First, He 6 - ?????? ????????? ????????? ???????????? (Beautiful Doll)
South Korean psych rock from 1972. Mine's a Korean reissue (2003) so obviously it's far from unknown but I couldn't find the mp3s online. I grabbed it because I've enjoyed mostly all of the 70s Korean stuff I've heard this year and in the past and I'd heard the big drum solo/break from side 2 on YouTube. Lyrics are half in English and half in Korean. Instruments are guitar, bass, drums, piano, organ, flute, some horns, maybe others. Side 1 is five shortish songs of quite typical Korean beat/psych/funky stuff. I don't know if they're all covers, track 2 is a nice version of A Whiter Shade Of Pale. It's sort of moody, solos abound, at the moment all these songs hit the spot for me. Side 2 starts with the long cover of Get Ready. Nice slow intro, furious cover then it descends into face melting organ and guitar solos and finally the drums. When I searched this after I ripped it I found DJ Shadow had sampled some of it, again maybe that makes it a poor choice for "sharing" but oh well, IMO the whole thing's worth having.
Second, Upp - Upp
Again, this is a well known record but it's not available online. British funk from 75. Give It To You was on an Ultimate Beats & Breaks so that's all over the place. If you've heard it and liked it there's more of the same on this. Cover lists three musicians playing keyboards, drums and bass but most songs have guitar from Jeff Beck. It is uncool English guys playing funk music but it sounds good and is worth hearing loud for the bass alone.
Having never been on a religious kick in any way, I've always approached music with religious overtones with a healthy does of skepticism. Needless to say the moment I glanced over the track list on this LP warning bells started sounding. But the moment I dropped the needle on this copy for the first time this summer I felt like I'd found religion: holy crap this is one smokin' record. I knew I needed it and after a hastily organised trade it was mine. Stayed by the decks for months this year and never grew old. Hope you like it and happy record day!

This band first got noticed by me a few years back when my bud Wyatt got his hands on a huge jazz collection that he ended up selling on e-bay (and then proceeded to live off the proceeds for 2 yrs). Out of all those records these two Birthright LP's stood out for me. Not having any $ at the time I didn't try to grab them then. It took me until this summer to find them, and damn if they don't epitomize everything I look for in music. This one's the second and the more accessible of the two, hope some of you enjoy it. If anyone wants their first LP, I just did an unedited rip. It's a heavier record: a little rawer, more out, but it's a monster.

:feelin_it:
This is sorta MOR, and yet it slays me. I might have listened to this more than any other song in the latter half of 2013. Leroy Sibbles prod.
Please... I'm asking you to stop and look through your hard drive for those recordings you've made in the last year of those songs you've enjoyed, and to share those recordings with us.
If not for us, then at least for the sake of this poor, ugly dog who has no legs. Think about how much your contribution will mean to him.
Thank you.
