ABBEY LINCOLN
Straight Ahead
1961 U.S. MONO pressing

My favorite vocal jazz album of all time.
Abbey’s voice cuts me to the absolute core, and this album is perfect for a pensive Friday afternoon spin.

Anna Woolridge (her real name) as an incredible singer, actress and activist. She was married to Max Roach (who drums on this record), and she had a remarkable 60 year career.

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this album.
I was in a record store in NY (probably in the Village) around 2000 or so when I lived there, and the gentleman who owned the store had this playing.

Unfortunately, he wouldn’t sell it to me, and it took a good decade after that for me to finally find a pristine vinyl copy.

If you’re unfamiliar with this beautiful record, please listen to it by any means you can. She’s amazing.

Released today 37 years ago:

🇬🇧 New Order "Technique" – 1989

A record where club culture and songwriting fully lock into each other. Technique channels Balearic heat, acid house rhythms, and New Order’s trademark emotional distance into something fluid and confident, sounding both relaxed and meticulously constructed.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Cash Cows
1981 Canada pressing

Finishing off my night with a heaping spoonful of #80s #alternative , #punk , and #newwave .

Really killer compilation featuring XTC, Japan, Magazine, The Human League, Nash The Slash, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, and Tangerine Dream (just to name a few).

Virgin Records knew where it was at in the late #70s and early #80s.

NEW MATH
Die Trying & Other Hot Sounds [1979 - 1983]
2023 U.S. Compilation
Ltd. Edition Clear vinyl

For those of you unfamiliar with New Math, this would be an EXCELLENT place to start.

I’ve expressed my devotion to New Math’s 1984 album Gardens. That is a phenomenal album, & the only album released under the New Math name.

THIS wonderful compilation is a collection of early singles, as well as some demos & other unreleased material.
It’s a fascinating listen if you’ve heard Gardens; you can really see the growth from where they started up to when that album came out.

After Gardens, the band would go on to change their name to The Jet Black Berries in 1984, and make another STELLAR three records, before reforming & doing another in 2010 with a new singer (we don’t count that one 👎).

An amazing band who were able to do #punk , #powerpop , #garage , #newwave , & #psych rock.
Amazing band.
