Vinyl Therapy: White Lies. Tame Impala. The National.

Limited edition autographed copy of the White Lies Big TV LP (2013).

The 2010 Tame Impala LP Innerspeaker was a revelation to me when I bought it on iTunes

(for lack of an available domestic physical release) but, thankfully, it was issued on vinyl in 2011.

Another solid LP by The National: Trouble Will Find Me (2013).

Vinyl: Remastered Classics & A New Gem

The 2010 remaster of Nine Inch Nails' 1989  Pretty Hate Machine on 180 gram vinyl.

The 2008 remaster of Joy Division's 1979 Unknown Pleasures on 180 gram vinyl.

A 21st century release that I absolutely love...

The National's 2011 LP High Violet on 180 gram vinyl from 4AD Records.

Vinyl Therapy: The War On Drugs & Goldfrapp

Graphics from the 2011 "Slave Ambient" double LP by The War On Drugs.

This is an album I've been enjoying for quite a while.  Its release was followed by a great show at The Hammerstein Ballroom in the Summer of 2010. (Clicking the "Goldfrapp" tag below should bring you to those photos).  

I didn't purchase the vinyl of this gem until recently, however... and I am very glad that I did.  These images show the gatefold sleeve of the Vinyl-CD-Poster pack for "Head First", which was the band's send up of all things late disco and early 80s pop.  Think FM radio 1981, with a little bit of balladry and a few more ambient sounds thrown in.
