Whats on your turntable tonight?

Mornin’ Boys.

Startin’ out mellow this fine morning:

Calexico/Iron & Wine
Years to Burn

New Issue arrived from Ambient Links this week.

Side one is really nice so far. Taking me 15 minutes to write this cause I’m listening to the sweetness.

+ on the Wishbone Ash, Dave Mason, Father John Misty, Hess Golden Messenger & Mercury Rev.

ITTOD was issued in the beginning with about 6 different (A-F?) sleeves but all inside a relatively plain brown wrapper so you couldn’t tell which one was inside before you bought it.  The sleeves varied by a little (angle of swipe of transparency across a photo filter ) to a lot (position from which the photo was taken in a strange cluttered mythological pub).  There may be other differences known to collectors (like objects moved around or in and out of the different photos). I only have the one version.  By the way, “Fool in the Rain” is a lifelong favorite. (I live in Portland...)
