Dave Matthews Band ‘Before These Crowded Streets’

Really interesting sound on their third album, nice shift to more complex stuff

2 x Vinyl gatefold, Watermelon swirl vinyl
Colored inserts (concentric 'watermelon' color rings)

500 copies include a signed insert (listed on hype sticker if included) and yes, this is one of those.

Still in shrink with hype sticker, but I had to open it to spin it just coz she's SUCH a great voice and sound.

Classic. Great sound.

I’ve been obsessed with the Deep Six album ever since seeing it on display at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame about 20 years ago. I tracked down a sealed copy not long after and recently slabbed it for preservation. The Deep Six lp is a piece of grunge history, featuring some of the earliest recordings from grunge pioneers like Soundgarden, Green River (Stone and Jeff before Pearl Jam as well as Mark and Steve before Mudhoney), Malfunkshun featuring Andy Wood who would later form Mother Love Bone with Stone and Jeff, the Melvin’s, U-Men, and Skin Yard who featured Matt Cameron of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and famed Sub Pop producer, Jack Endino. The album was released in 1986 and limited to only 2000 copies. @Vintage_Media_Grading #grunge #vmg

Genesis ‘Where The Sour Turns To Sweet’

1969 New Zealand Decca DEC.482

7” single

Genesis third debut single.

The song was a very limited issue single in UK. Oddly, (maybe due to the success of the similarly odd Australian release location of their preceding second single) some were issued in New Zealand (this one) and are extremely scarce. Not much to look at but SUPER rare.

(@ButchVMG with only 5 haves to 88 wants I believe that’s a ‘Discogs Demand Ratio’ of 0.056 😎 )

Been after this one for some time and snatched it the moment it showed up at a below median price. It hurt, but done with that one! Top shelf for sure.
