Damn. I failed to pull the trigger in time and it appears to have sold out. However, I heard they were going to be repressing more copies. Fool me once, shame on you....

Hope so. It really is fucking killer. Remastered just for this release
The long awaited first pressing of Gillian Welch s The Harrow & The Harvest was mastered direct from the original tapes through custom Ortofon amplifiers to a Neumann VMS-80 cutting system and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings.

And then there's this
With all the attention to detail that goes into a Gillian Welch album, from recording on analog tape to letterpress printing album covers on 100 percent cotton, why aren’t the releases available on vinyl? Internet message boards have lamented the vinyl dearth for years.

Turns out the delay again comes down to quality control. “Because we love and respect vinyl so much, we’ve been building our own lathe for a couple years. It’s almost operational,” she said of the machine that cuts grooves into lacquer disks used to make vinyl records. “Dave’s on the phone in the other room with our vinyl mastering engineer discussing a test that was cut a couple days ago. We’re so excited about it. It’s kind of sickening that I’ve watched everyone we know put out vinyl and we have nothing.”

Welch and Rawlings wanted to use a certain mastering lab in their hometown of Nashville for vinyl releases. “They’ve got a tape machine that our tape sounds good on,” Welch said. They waited for years for the lab to buy a lathe. “Finally we were like, ‘We’ll buy a lathe and put it there,’” she said.

Welch isn’t sure which album will get the vinyl treatment first, but she’s confident the results will be worth the wait. “There’ll be zero digital - our master tape to our mastering lathe,” she said. “When everything is said and done - when a piece of art just exists - you don’t get any ribbons for it being easier or economical.”

I'll never understand the way your ears are calibrated.

This is worlds above any Bingham album from a songwriting standpoint, and they don't really sound anything a like as singers. This is pretty heavily steeped in bluegrass and honky tonk compared to Bingham as well.

I just think this line is worth some extra attention. If I weren't so wedded to my sig line, this would be a worthy successor but there must be some other application that would keep it alive. Well done, sir!

Yeah, Numero reissues some great under the radar stuff. This one is quite good, too.

From 1978-1981 the Titan label issued only eight records, but over the years their tiny catalog has crawled to the top of power-pop want lists worldwide and appeared on scads of bootleg cassettes, building a legacy to rival L.A. s Bomp or New York s Ork. Located in fly-over country, Titan was forced to start their own scene, import their own skinny ties, and scour Missouri for their own talent. Their midwest AM bubblegum roots are apparent in the likes of Gary Charlson, the Secrets*, Arlis!, Gems, Millionaire At Midnight, the Boys, J.P. McClain & the Intruders, Bobby Sky, and Scott McCarl, but Titan was clearly influenced by the glam-punk spit being hocked from the 100 Club stage.

30 years since they meekly flopped out their first 7 single, Kansas City s Titan Records finally returns to record bins everywhere in a deluxe two-disc retrospective with comprehensive 40-page booklet.

Thanks for the tip! My wallet was begging me to avoid Amoeba while in SF this weekend but looking for this could tip me in heading over to the Haight

That wasn't a "thumbs down" review. It was a "this isn't the AOTY" review

I'm really enjoying that Tyler Childers record. It took a few listens before I really bought into it but now I have.

"And if the women were squirrels, with them high bushy tails. I'd fill up my shotgun, with rocks, salt, and nails."

Lines like this left me not knowing which way to turn. I wasn't sure if it was naked honesty from a guy who was so willing to be honest both about how that felt and describing it as he really would versus how people would be more apt to accept it.

Or. If it was a young guy who was trying to sound more authentic or more..."country"? More hillbilly? Something.

I finally decided it was the former. Only a young guy or a much older person can write lines like that. Because youth affords you a certain level of naivete and age gives you enough perspective to not care whether or not people think it sounds sophisticated or too simplistic. I am surprised he is resonating the way he is. But I'm enjoying it.

I haven't heard any Tyler Childers songs, but that lyric is from the oft-covered "Rock, Salt & Nails" originally written by the Wobbly, Utah Phillips. Joe Ely does a great cover of it, too.
