VARIOUS ARTISTS You’re No Big Deal (Grunge, The U.S. Underground And Beyond 1984-1994) 2025 UK 4xCD Box Set I was DEEPLY saddened to learn of the passing of L7’s Jennifer Finch from brain cancer. Really awful news. So, I’m pulling this great Cherry Red set out in her honour, as L7 were a significant part of that particular brand and era of music, and because my second favorite L7 song is on here (“Shove”). I LOVE this set. Some interesting choices here to go along with the usual suspects. All the grunge-a-riffic Seattle bands (minus an obvious few due to licensing issues I’m sure), as well as legendary tentpole #80s bands like Husker Du, The Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., Superchunk, and more. Even “Sex Type Thing” is on here, which may seem like an odd choice, but it’s 100% completely appropriate. Pour some of your 40 out for Jen Finch today. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylfinds #rare #art #music #1990s #90s #90smusic

KING CRIMSON Frame By Frame (The Essential King Crimson) 1991 U.S. 4xCD Box Set The last of the really cool CD acquisitions from yesterday, and it was so reasonably priced, I couldn’t leave without it. A pretty comprehensive oral history of King Crimson; 3 discs of compiled album tracks from every period, with a 4th disc of live recordings the same. The book is SUPER COOL, but for me, it takes a backseat to the awesome (and complete) King Crimson family tree, drawn by Hideyo Itoh. That alone is a cool art piece and suitable for framing. I love EVERY era and EVERY iteration and lineup of King Crimson, but this morning, I’m starting with the ‘81-84 Disc #3 (the “Discipline” era), a run only touched by the original ‘69-71 run. Fripp, Belew, Levin & Bruford are magic together. #vinyl #vinylrecords #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #cds #kingcrimson #prog #artrock #progressive #robertfripp
