Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Low 50s outside, mid/late 60s inside.

Another all-time top-five desert island what have you classic. Just so incredible. I mean Caught in a Dream? Long Way to Go? The Ballad of Dwight Fry!?! Just hit after damn hit and one of the best gatefold interiors ever. Ridiculously good, highest possible recommendation.

“Punk is dead but.. ..We’re still dying”

Absolutely savage sounding mix of this indestructible tune.

Kind of a weird comp, and perhaps unnecessary, but couldn’t pass this up as I’m a sucker for a beautiful 🇯🇵 pressing, especially with the obi. Plus “Thanks For Chicago Mr. James” is so good. Scott Walker forever.

“I Can See Your Ways” - the folky flip of the Richard Vanover & Bob Ralph 45 on the Clark label, recorded in Russellville in 1968. The other side, somewhat confusingly titled “I Can See,” is an absolute garage rock bruiser and was comped on the third volume of Lost Souls, all of which are killer.
