I'm don't know much about jazz. Miles' catalogue is pretty vast, and of his electric stuff I'm only really familiar with "On the Corner." But it was this quote by Robert Quine that piqued my interest: "You have got the Velvet Underground, the Stooges, and this Miles Davis stuff post-1972--this stuff is coming right out of the Stooges!" It only then occurred to me that this stuff (at least "On the Corner") ain't musically so far removed from "Funhouse." Someone give me a rundown of these electric records.
What was the first record you ever bought on vinyl?
For me it was "Deflowered" by Pansy Division, which I haven't heard in years. I remember the linear notes had a lot of suprisingly useful safe sex tips. I must've been about 13 or 14 at the time.
CD-sized graphics honestly don't do this thing justice. Getting this on vinyl recently just made me realize just how great the album art is. Seriously, that's some fantastic photography on the front cover, and the greenish/purple lighting is just too incredible for words.
