Five New Archival & Reissued Albums : Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Sun Ra, Yoko & Blunstone

[@danny1959]

"Misty Roses" by Blunstone is one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard.

[@rocky-o]

Glad to hear some love for Sundazed. Had a really good customer service experience there.. and obvs like you said, great release choices.

The Blunstone record got by me until decades laters. Wonderful album. Excellent.

[@markforster2794]

I’ve just received that Lou Reed album on black vinyl. As you say it’s a folk album, mostly sounding like Woody Guthrie or early Dylan. However, the last track , which is also acoustic and with John Cale sounds just like the V Underground.Fantastic stuff.

[@vinyltyro124]

Thanks. Your videos always take me a long time to watch as I jump over to Spotify to preview your suggestions. SUN RA is what did it this time. Excellent listen.

[@guidoerfen7944]

My favorite early Sun Ra. This was a budget release on RCA/Savoy back in the 80ies under the title "We Are In The Future". The original release by far has the better artwork. But loved the music from the first moment.

[@jonlevinson3000]

This type of video from you is my favorite - just speaking to the music, well done. The Wilco / Super Furry Aninmals vid from months ago made a real impression on me too. Thank you. Re: Waits "Alice" alway struck me as one of saddest albums I've heard where "Blood Money" one of the most cynical amd fatalistic. An odd pairing, but I admire both. I didn't realize Anti Records remained an ongoing concern. Good to know!

Very interesting post, many thanls. Luigi (from sunny Italy)

Thanks for the video! nice on. GNR - use your illusion I & 2 are also released on the same day.

Mazzy tell me if I'm just crazy but I see this hard push by these companies to push out very expensive reissues as fast as possible knowing that things are going to get really bad and people will be forced to stop buying. Chad with his very expensive 6 UHQR's instead of just one at a time, Revolver box set for 200 bucks when we already have the mono 2014 version of it, MFSL one steps which are way over priced.

[@mazzysmusic]

There are releases for all sorts of collectors and lots of variety. The ones I showed here are all under $30 and some are double albums with books. People should buy what works for them

[@notes-tones]

Mazzy, do you have the bookTom Waits by Mahurin? It is excellent!

[@mazzysmusic]

I do not but i remember it. ✌🏼

[@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893]

Now then! I was a little disappointed when I heard those two Waits albums were being reissued, as it doesn't seem long ago they were released. I've already got the 2017 releases of Alice and Blood Money. What we really need are some of those earlier Island albums. I know it must be a licencing issue, but surely Rain Dogs and Bone Machine are due for a reissue?

[@davidadamW]

Definitely Bone Machine! How about Black Rider and Night on Earth. I don’t believe either were issued on vinyl. Nor Bone Machine

[@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893]

@@davidadamW Yeah, Black Rider and Night On Earth would be very cool. They were all originally released on vinyl, but only in the UK and Europe.

You talk too much; use the edit button

[@dannyschneider553]

Enismore is even better by Colin 2nd album

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

I just picked up that Reed album today. I am reading a biography on him currently and it talked about his writing those songs before the VU so I wanted to see what they sounded like before Cale got involved.

[@karstenpost1477]

You’re right: Bruce Springsteen released two albums simultaneously in 1992 with Human Touch and Lucky Town! Very cool albums both. Best wishes and stay healthy!

[@jimk2000]

All three Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra albums are classics especially their first one with "Summer Wine" and "Some Velvet Morning"

[@RockNRod.]

Hey Mazzy, nice review if the new Lou. The presentation looks amazing.

[@debjorgo]

Guns and Roses Use Your Illusions I & II.

[@jeffreybarr2386]

Thanks Mazzy! Next week the amazing Fantagraphics Books in Seattle is publishing a book collecting Sun Ra’s album covers. It looks cool.

[@mazzysmusic]

That’s cool ✌🏼I may have to check it out

[@markusberzborn6346]

Interesting, I have the original 2002 LP pressing of "Alice", and this was a single LP. Are there any bonus tracks on this reissue or is it the same material on 4 sides for better dynamics?

[@jawaka1000]

same songs on 3 sides for better sonics. It's a 48 minute record.

[@vinylrichie007]

I love reissues. Chaotic Youth 81 demos have just been released. I don’t know about the wanker records you showed.

[@vinylrichie007]

The Lou Reed does look great.
