Sharks Come Cruisin


A Past We Forget The We Need To Remember


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on May 7, 2011

Musically not my thing but if you like pirate music then this band and record are for you. Well pressed on fun brown vinyl!

Lannie Flowers


Circles


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on February 8, 2011

A solid album of 70s era power pop with a sprinkle of country and Americana. The songwriting isn't always very original but fans of the Raspberries and Badfinger may find a lot to love.

...and this is why I speak to you in parables


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on February 8, 2011

I received this record via the contact page on this site, I guess the band or someone associated with the band found this site and decided to send me the record to review. I'm glad they did. It is probably...

Deerhunter


Halcyon Digest


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on September 28, 2010

As usual Deerhunter doesn't disappoint. One of the best albums of 2010. Overall the vinyl is well worth the spend especially if you have a soft spot for white vinyl like myself. A buy.

Of Montreal


False Priest


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on September 21, 2010

An stellar pressing and presentation. Although not the band's best album it is still a buy for any Of Montreal fan. A clear buy in terms of vinyl value.

Pavement


Quarantine The Past


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on August 20, 2010

An excellent comp of Pavement's best work including many obscure tracks alongside the "hits". In terms of pressing quality it matches and often exceeds any of the original releases. A buy.

Dirty Projectors


Bitte Orca


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on July 30, 2009

A very clean, quiet pressing that appears to have been mastered for vinyl by someone who knows what they are doing. Lots of nice low end and the guitars in particular have a nice presence compared to digital version. This...

Department Of Eagles


In Ear Park


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on June 14, 2009

An amazing record but a less than perfect pressing. There is some noise in quiet passages a few times including one low end thump that came and went on the end of side two. Still, I think the overall sound...

Andrew Bird


Noble Beast


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on June 14, 2009

A very well pressed album that isn't matched by the packaging. Musically it is a strong follow to "Armchair Apocrypha" but feels like a smaller album at times.

Prince


Purple Rain


Reviewed by Finn Swingley on June 3, 2009

Prince's classic 1984 soundtrack album that stormed the world. It's still good to this day, despite some dating 80s keyboards. Much better than the film! I bought this to compensate for the fact that I passed up...
