Double Whammy Delivery: Vinyl Galore Just Showed Up at My Door

(download)

 

The postman rang twice today. Once to deliver my copy of "Light: On the South Side" (which I blogged about here) and a second time to deliver my vinyl copy of Now Young's "Le Noise".  Now that is what I call a welcome surprise. 

"The Light: On the South Side" packaging is phenomenal. The photo book that comes with it is a tractor beam. The liner notes on the vinyl sleeves are detailed and abundant...yes, abundant. This ain't no download, brothers and sisters...this is craft and care and detailed and deliberate all wrapped up in one helluva package. The team at Numero Group aren't just trying to sell us shit...they are trying to sell us the shit. Excellent job on this set, @numerogroup.  Thanks for caring. 

Not to be outdone...Le Noise. I wrote about my first listen to the album yesterday. Now I get to do it all over again...with the Black Gold. Damn straight.
