#nowplaying Ozzy Osbourne - Diary Of A Madman (1981). OG UK press. Truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of Ozzy’s solo work after the first two records, and parts of Bark .. and Ultimate … But this and the debut are belters. RIP Oz. #nowspinning #vinyl

#nowplaying Bob Dylan - The 1974 Live Recordings (2024). Also comes with a 7” and booklet. Issued exclusively through the Third Man Records Vault subscription, so not easy to get a hold of. Bob and The Band in top form. #nowspinning #vinyl #bobdylan

#nowplaying Metallica - …And Justice For All (1988). OG UK press. The dry production gets a lot of hate, but it’s the last great metal album they made and a fine coda to an incredible run. Contains some of their best songs. Saw them on that tour, too. #nowspinning #vinyl

My dad wasn’t a huge rock fan, but he did enjoy a bit of Quo. So, #nowplaying Status Quo - On The Level (1975). Miss you every day, dad. 💙 Happy Father’s Day

#nowplaying Metallica - Ride The Lightning (1984). Quite simply one of the best metal records ever. Have the OG press of course, but this is the 2016 remaster, reissued on coloured vinyl in 2024 for the 40th anniversary. Sounds great. #nowspinning #vinyl #metallica

#nowplaying Sumerlands eponymous debut (US, 2016). Quite hard to find this in UK, glad to acquire. 80s style metal with some early Ozzy and Queensryche stylings. Their 2022 record, Dreamkiller, was one of my albums of that year. Quality. #nowspinning #vinyl

#nowplaying Mexican rockers Freeroad - Do What You Feel! (2022) on Dying Victim Productions. Hype says it all: ‘Open-minded feel-good tunes, based on ‘70s and ‘80s hard rock, as well as the early NWOBHM’. #nowspinning #vinyl #hardrock

#nowplaying John Cougar Mellencamp - Scarecrow (1985). I have the OG press - which I used to play incessantly back in the day - but this is the 2022 remixed half-speed remaster. Sounds excellent. #vinyl #nowspinning #rock

David H. @facetsquared.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

#nowplaying Saxon - Destiny (1988). OG UK press. The album loaded with keyboards that they tried to break the US with - and failed. A pretty serviceable melodic rock album (including an enjoyable cover of Ride Like The Wind), but a terrible Saxon album. #nowspinning #vinyl #rock

#nowplaying Cold Chisel - Radio Songs - A Best Of (1985). OG Australian press. A great rock band, and possibly a bit underrated outside of Oz. Jimmy Barnes is a terrific vocalist. #nowspinning #vinyl @jimmybarnes.com

#nowplaying Fleetwood Mac - Mirage (1982). OG UK press. Not sure this record gets enough attention. One of their best, not least because it has Stevie Nicks singing Gypsy. #vinyl #nowspinning #fleetwoodmac

David H. @facetsquared.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

#nowplaying Jawbox - Novelty (1992). US remaster issued in 2023. A fine slab of post-hardcore on @dischord.bsky.social (who else?). Not their best record, but well worth a spin. #vinyl #nowspinning #posthardcore #jawbox

#nowplaying Madness - Keep Moving (1984). US version, quite hard to pick up in the UK. It has a different track listing in that it includes the singles Wings of a Dove and The Sun and the Rain in place of Waltz Into Mischief and Time for Tea. #vinyl #nowspinning #madness
