LANA DEL REY "PARADISE EP" Vinyl

 Today we have Lana Del Rey and her third EP, Paradise pressed on vinyl. There is also a pressing that is the Paradise (Born To Die) Edition that includes her second studio album in the package. This one is just the EP and was bought at Barnes And Noble for under 15 bucks. When this album came out in 2012 it sold nearly 70,000 copies in its first week reaching the number 10 spot on the Billboard charts. The song "Ride" was probably the most popular single off the EP and had a music video. Like half of this EP contains a music video for each song. Inside this vinyl sleeve you get a nice 180g black vinyl and a lyric sheet with Paradise on the front. Nothing too crazy really, but the vinyl sounds incredible and Lana Del Rey just sounds great on vinyl. Well lets take a look at this vinyl and then listen to a track from the EP.

THREE DAYS GRACE "self titled" Vinyl Metallic Colored

 Today we have a vinyl to share and that would be alternative metal rock band Three Days Grace's self titled debut album pressed in the metallic color variant. I picked this beauty up at a FYE right outside of Philadelphia. It is pressed in 150g of metallic colored vinyl and really does sound great. Normally I find that a lot of colored vinyl pressed is 140g and black vinyl is 180g. I find that without a slip mat the lighter records won't always play as good because they tend to skip or bounce grooves on the first song on each side of the record. Well lets get back to the album. In the sleeve you get the vinyl with a two sided lyric sheet that also is the inner sleeve for the vinyl. This is their first album and I bet a lot of you remember this album or at least most of the songs by heart and I will share one with you after we look at the vinyl and its packaging. These guys were just a trio at the time of this debut. Three Days Grace inked the deal with Jive Records before this album sending them a song from their demo tape titled "I Hate Everything About You". We all remember that track and if you don't....well go gain that knowledge. Jive Records was a label under RCA Records but unfortunately in 2011 they ceased operations, but Three Days Grace were moved to the RCA label itself and are still signed with them today. I imagine most of you know but if you didn't, the original lead vocalist, Adam Gontier left the band in 2013. He is now the front man of Saint Asonia, check them out too. He was replaced by the bassist's brother, Matt Walst from My Darkest Days. Well lets take a look at this album on vinyl and then listen to a goodie from the tracklist!

Hope you all enjoyed this vinyl today!

His debut EP, "Explore" was released in 2012. By 2013 GRMLN had became a band with a drummer and bassist to complete the lineup and then release a full length album titled "Empire" which had some punk pop vibes and all that good stuff.

GLASS ANIMALS "Zaba" Vinyl

 Today's pressing is a personal favorite of mine and it is "Zaba", the 2014 release from psych pop band Glass Animals from Oxford, England. First, before you even get into the vinyl there is some of the most gorgeous album artwork I have seen. Whether it is the front, back, and even the inside of this gatefold you find art. Even the text is a beautiful glossy gold that just tops it off. And then go ahead and drop the needle on this masterpiece and take it around the groove. This album is just as beautiful as the artwork with all 11 tracks delivering such a comfortable sound. Soon after the release of their first EP, "Leaflings", Glass Animals was signed to Wolf Tone (Adele). So lets go ahead and check out this vinyl and listen to a few tracks.

  

Here is a track from "Zaba" for you.

Forming around 2010 These guys have 2 albums and an EP(limited edition contains 15 songs). Here are a few songs to introduce you to this band.
