Friday vinyls for a spinning weekend

Another weekend is coming up. Many have returned to their workplaces after a refreshing vacation and schools have opened their gates for another semester. The summer holds its grip here in the southern part of Sweden, but vinyls look forward to lower temperatures. For storage, shipping and, I wonder, maybe also for the sound the vinyl spins much better in a cooler climate.

To celebrate a new and cooler season a couple of more titles have been placed in the metalsouth account at discogs.

The Isley Brothers – Showdown (CBS Inc., 1978, EPC 86039), Lee Hazlewood – The Stockholm Kid (CBS Cupol AB – 1974, CBS 80534), Lou Reed – Berlin (RCA Records, 1973, APL1-0207-A), Cher – Love Hurts (Geffen Records, 1991, GEF-24427), John Lennon – Imagine (Capitol Records/EMI, 1980, SW-3379, Canadian press, Purple labels, reissue), David Lindley – Mr. Dave (WEA Int. Inc., 1985, 252161-1), Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Brain Salad Surgery (Manticore/Ariola, 1973, 87302 IT), Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella and Louis (Vervre, 1963, Reissue, V-4003) and many more…

Kindly, have a look at the metalsouth discogs account (via the link below) for more titles in various genres. After order and payment the LPs are well packed in special LP cardboard boxes with an inner-and outer compartment for safest shipping security. Postnord shipping fees are offered and paid by the buyer based upon weight. For the moment are slightly more than 300 titles out there, but more are to come. Have a really spinning weekend and stay cool!!

From The Who to Trivium!

metalsouth continues to sell used LP and EP records via Discogs and has now reach a portfolio of 300 titles. The interest has increased and we are happy and grateful for orders coming in. We will therefore continue to add new LPs and EPs and in stock now are a bunch of rarities.

The latest batch to be added to the portfolio includes records from artist, e.g. Steppenwolf, Caravan, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Midnight Oil, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Devo, Lill Lindfors, Otis Rush, Spontaneous Combustion, Grace Jones, Ohio Players, Lou Reed, Echo & the Bunnymen, John Cougar Mellencamp and Iggy Pop.

Available is ‘Ready Steady Who’ (Polydor, 1966, EPH 10834), the classic, which throws us back to the happy 60’s. It includes 2 original songs by Peter Townsend (Disguises, Circles) and recordings of the Batman theme ‘Batman’, ‘Bucket T’ and Barbara Ann. (Source: Wikipedia).

If we then time travel 50 years to June 2016 American thrash metal band Trivium performed at Copenhell, Copenhagen, DK. The year before October 2, 2015, their 7th album ‘Silence In The Snow’ (Roadrunner Records, 2015) was released. We remember the performance as energetic, intense and extremely loud, i.e. really good and value for money. Matt Heafy, who constantly performs with full intensity on stage turned 35 years last month and we send our late congratulations. Please, take part in the inspiration via a few pictures.

Trivium album ‘Silence in the Snow’ we offer in our shop at Discogs. The copy is not sealed, but unplayed, i.e. in mint condition.
