I remember listening to this at my friends house and being mesmerized by the design on the center label as it went round and round.

No, I haven't heard that bit in probably over 45 + years (damn I'm old)! But now you've got it in my head, I'm going to have to check it out on YT.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 May 2021, 11:09amDave's not here, man!Sparky wrote: ↑25 May 2021, 9:43amI've never seen one of those, but then again, my parents didn't think too highly of Mad magazine, so I didn't get too many copies of it.

The one I did check out recently was Cheech trying to sing the Knack, "My Sharona", but he's off a bit on the lyrics. Juvenile? Absolutely, but a good example of how lyrics get misconstrued.

Generally speaking, drug humour ages poorly.

With marijuana being legal for recreational use in so many places now, the edginess of their humor just isn't that relevant anymore.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 May 2021, 11:54amGenerally speaking, drug humour ages poorly.

Re: Got Any Cool Vinyl?
Know what this thread needs? Some Mats of course!
The Replacements "Tim" on magenta vinyl. Absolutely great album by the way, but I may be a little biased.

Re: Got Any Cool Vinyl?
I don't know if this qualifies as cool or horrific, but I have this purple splatter version of Hyaena by the Banshees. Part of the limited issues at the same time as the Combat Rock one on green vinyl (which I also have).
Re: Got Any Cool Vinyl?
Very nice Laxman! One I've never seen before.
Doesn't take much to qualify, I just wanted to see who still had any vinyl in their collection, bonus points if it's something cool to look at like the disc you posted or is somehow unique, rare or collectible.

Re: Got Any Cool Vinyl?
Again, I'm a sucker for unique vinyl, so even though I already had this one on LP & CD, I was looking at it online and the wife & daughter got it for my birthday, along with the other Mats "Tim" I posted a few days ago.
The Replacements "Pleased To Meet Me". Great album, produced by Jim Dickinson, who was very well known in Memphis for working with Big Star, the Rolling Stones and many others.

I've the deluxe reissue 3 x cds and vinyl album. I love coloured vinyl but it's rare it ever sounds as good as its counterpart.Sparky wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 9:51amAgain, I'm a sucker for unique vinyl, so even though I already had this one on LP & CD, I was looking at it online and the wife & daughter got it for my birthday, along with the other Mats "Tim" I posted a few days ago.

Re: Got Any Cool Vinyl?
I agree, it's pure eye candy that's never been on the turntable. I picked up the Rhino box set as well but only opened the CD's. Same with the reissue of "Don't Tell A Soul" aka "Dead Man's Pop" box set.Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 9:54amI've the deluxe reissue 3 x cds and vinyl album.

Re: Got Any Cool Vinyl?
Here's a nice translucent blue copy of the last Avoid One Thing album I picked up right before the pandemic, also a Newbury Comics exclusive. My shitty photo skills don't quite do the very nicely done coloring of the vinyl justice, ah well.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
