My version of the Radiohead / Thom York joke, I genuinely have no idea what sort of music genre Pearl Jam would be. No mental picture of any Pearl Jam artwork for reference. I’m sure I’ve probably most likely heard some on the radio, but I wouldn’t know it was them. Pebble gargling mainstream grunge is, I am sure, what their wikipedia page files them under. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) I need help. I have this I have no clue who it is or what its called and the label only says 45rpm. Edit Post rock noodling. Shazam tells me thats Souvaris. Edited May 15, 2020 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Linked slightly to Paris Angels in that it was released by the same label. This abomination is a cover of the VU tune. Its not weathered well and I appear to have a lot more shitty baggy cash in 12 inches than I first thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fairly pleasant in a post rock way. American Analog Set spring to mind. Checked my email for mention of Souvaris and a friend of a friend was in them so thats where this came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a brilliant resource. Even if you don't bother getting an account. The vast majority of info is sound in my experience. I live on it, pretty much. Sign up and you can log your own collection and buy from other collectors and stores. Crucially it breaks up the presses, allowing you to choose say a particular colour vinyl, or a Japanese edition (which are usually better sounding). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now going to go down a record rabbit hole. The search bar is very flexible. You can enter a combination of search strings. The artist and the song title in the same search will throw up the albums that the tune is on. If it's on compilations they also will come up. Clicking on the earliest release listed of a particular album will often supply the personnel involved at the bottom. So if you ever wondered who that mandolin player was? It's very useful. Then you can click on them, select 'Appears On' and it all gets very expensive Edited May 15, 2020 by Xann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Guy behind the counter in Sounds of the Universe gave me a record for free because I said I liked it. He said that was what he’d been told to do, play it, and give it free to anyone that asked about it but didn’t have any clue what it was. He wrote TEXT044 on a piece of paper and said, go home and then look it up on Discogs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 There's an artist called Ninja McTits that plays merry hell with Discogs. He's got banned a few times. Some of his entries are funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 15, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2020 Wahey! First out of the 12" dungeon tonight is Move Me -by The Woodentops I always liked this but they Wahey is because it was in the wrong inner sleeve... It was in a white paper lined Inner sleeve with FCL Product Nr 50 printed on both sides. My first pressing copy of New Order's Movement Album just increased in value quite a bit, it is now whole again (which is much more important to me than the value - right sleeve for the right record!) Anyway, the song that first got me into the Woodentops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found today with a brief flick through I have a Pearl Jam white label of Alive. No clue where its come from I know its never been played. My CD sort out.... 4 Pearl Jam albums... What the actual F... Can't say I've listened to a single one ever, why I bought them (at least three were bought) I have no idea. DO you think the only reason they were succesful is because the word is full of people like us, who own their product for no good reason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of men looking at their albums during lockdown and saying how the bloody hell do I own Pearl Jam. Seems likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
