Noah Kahan ‘Cape Elizabeth’

2023 US Republic Records 602458381412

Record Store Day Black Friday 2023 ‘RSD First’ release, pressed to a quantity of 5,000 copies, blue marble vinyl.

New acquisition. A little late to his game, but loving his sound.

Stumbled upon his documentary.(Fascinating start, and family, and I’ve got connection to Hanover and NH/VT generally so get the sensibility) Asked my kids and they were like “How do you not have some of his stuff in your collection!!?” 😂

Picked this EP coz it’s a little less known, and IMO actually more varied in five tracks than his LPs

“Stick Season” will likely follow soon, though, I can feel it.

Banner hunting day yesterday. I go through about $1K brick a week scouring US $1 FRN and haven't seen one of these in the wild for probably a year.
Got TWO 2013B star notes within the duplicate range, both FW printed notes (the ones that were accidentally reprinted, not the original printing) in one $1K brick!

I'll be listing them on eBay in a day or two. If anyone here wants them, let me know and I'll get you the item number as soon as I list. Or make me an offer.

Howlin’ Wolf “Howlin’ Wolf”

1966 US Chess LP1469

First Stereo pressing of this compilation of singles & other tracks recorded 1959-1962.

"ELECTRONICALLY ALTERED FOR STEREO" sticker on the jacket front. Cover of the original mono pressing used; jacket has the mono LP catalog number "LP 1469". Blue fade "Chess" labels on the disc have the stereo catalog number "LPS-1469".

For the detail oriented, this is the variant where the last "4" in the runouts is upside-down.

Per Wikipedia “Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976), better known by his stage name Howlin' Wolf, was an American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player. He was at the forefront of transforming acoustic Delta blues into electric Chicago blues, and over a four-decade career, recorded blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and psychedelic rock. He is regarded as one of the most influential blues musicians ever.”
