I have been a vinyl junkie since 1971.
Spending my allowance at age 5 on 45s.

The Sonics
"Fifty"

DETAILS
Format: 3 x LP
Label: Light in the Attic 
Release type: RSD Exclusive Release
More Info:
The legendary Sonics are recognized as one of the hardest-hitting aggregates in rock’n’roll history. The Tacoma, Washington quintet blew the roof off the Pacific Northwest scene back in the mid-1960s with a raucous and righteous blend of vintage rock’n’roll and R&B, hot-rodded in spectacular fashion upon iconic discs such as “The Witch” and “Psycho.” The group’s savage, visceral recorded legacy remains a benchmark in communicating the power of basic rock, and since reuniting in 2008, The Sonics have brought their pounding, uncompromising brand of garage rock to all corners of the globe. In celebration of The Sonics’ half-century as a recording act, we are proud to present this limited edition vinyl box set of their complete and essential Etiquette Records catalog. The contents of Fifty feature 34 tracks that constitute the true lexicon of Northwest garage rock, including “The Witch,” “Psycho,” “Boss Hoss,” “Strychnine,” “Cinderella,” and “He’s Waitin’.” Fifty is packaged in deluxe fashion as three vinyl LPs: exact replicas of the Here Are the Sonics and Boom albums, along with a third disc of rarities. The 36-page LP sized booklet features a brand new oral history by all five original Sonics members and is illustrated with over two dozen previously unpublished images from the archives of famed photographer Jini Dellaccio. Last but not least, the box includes a 18" X 24" color poster. Fifty is thus the last word on a small yet essential part of the American rock’n’roll landscape.

I am not sure of the status of two of the records I was most excited about. Joan Jett & Judgement Night.

Joan Jett "The First Sessions" - Black & White Vinyl, 1979 demos on Blackheart Records is listed on the PDF version of the list, but not the webpage version of the list. 



The Soundtrack to Judgement Night was listed and covered as a Record Store Day release, but is no longer listed. One of my favorite listens. Would love to drop a needle on this one!




The following is a list of releases that I probably don't have enough money for, but if my vinyl budget were limitless, I'd obtain. Biggest reason for not purchasing some of these is that I already have a version of the vinyl and buying another copy would further complicate my insanity. Mentioning them here, in case you don't have these! You should!
