Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop by Jeff Beck with Terry Bozzio and Tony Hyman A blazing album of rock instrumentals with the most beautiful electric guitar ballad ever recorded that proves Beck’s brilliance: Where Were You. 🥩✂️ Big Block #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #vinyl #jeffbeck

Out of Our Heads by The Rolling Stones This is a superb all-analog mono pressing from the first-generation master tape. There is a depth to the sound I haven’t heard before. The Stones are meant to be heard in mono. 🥩✂️ (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction #vinylsky #rollingstones #vinylcommunity #vinyl

Live 3.10.22 by Keith Richards & the X-Pensive Winos Keith and the Winos played a 3-song set at the Love Rocks NYC fundraiser. The Winos had not played together for 30 years before this and it doesn’t show. 🥩✂️ 999 #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #rsd #keithrochards

Live in Cook County Jail by B. B. King This excellent live set gets overlooked next to Live at the Regal and it shouldn’t. Side 2 is all slow blues including an incendiary performance of “Sweet Sixteen.” Don’t miss this one. 🥩✂️ Sweet Sixteen #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #blues #bbking

This is a good video on how to grade vinyl records visually. The main point here is to describe the issues with each record. It’s just a few words and helps the buyer understand the condition. I would rather buy from a seller who adds descriptions. #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords

The Very Best of Mick Jagger Mick is undeserving of the derision aimed at his solo career by Stones fans. This comp is a nice collection of hits, LP tracks, previously unreleased gems, soundtrack cuts, and duets. ✂️🥩 Too Many Cooks (Spoil The Soup) #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #MickJagger #music

Feels Like Rain by Buddy Guy Buddy’s second album for Silvertone won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall, Paul Rodgers, and Travis Tritt lend a hand. 🥩✂️ I Could Cry w/Mayall #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #blues #buddyguy

It’s a supernatural murder mystery that pokes fun at the Sedona AZ wellness/MAGA culture, often told through the eyes of a flock of ravens. I guessed all the killers but missed one big twist. It’s a page-turner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️. 💙📚 #booksky #murdermystery

Whenever I read a musician’s bio, I like to listen to select albums along with the narrative. My latest is Peter Frampton’s autobiography. Some of his post “Frampton Comes Alive” work is quite good. 💙📚 #vinylcommunity #books #music

The original Alice Cooper group have reunited and releasing an album of new music on July 25. This gives me hope for humanity. #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #music #alicecooper

Just finished book six! Whew I need a break after this one. As usual highly detailed and the storylines come to a head in the final chapters. (Most of them.) Not my favorite so far. Only 8 more to go. 💙📚 #booksky 🪐📚 #scifibooks #wheeloftime #robertjordan

Live at the Rainbow by Yes This is an “authorized bootleg” released for RSD 2025. From the “homemade” cover to the dropout on “Close to the Edge,” you get the whole bootleg experience. Nice etching on side 6. For completists. 🥩✂️ Starship Trooper #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #music #yes

Today is the 48th anniversary of the Led Zeppelin show I attended in Indianapolis at the late great Market Square Arena. It was the highlight of my senior year in HS. My original tix stub and a stub from the 1995 Page & Plant tour are included #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #musiccommunity #ledzeppelin

Next up! A good pressing. The Winos really cook on 999. The etching on the reverse is just a silhouette of Keith with guitar. Disappointing. Still a great one-off performance. #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #RSD #keithrichards
