Record Collector of the Month: February 2022

Written By Michele - February 28 2022

Tell us a little bit about yourself: Howdy. My name is Truitt and I am a licensed clinical social worker based out of Seaside, CA. I have been obsessed with music throughout my life, and have been collecting music in the physical format since as long as I can remember. It started with spinning my mom’s old Monkees records on my Sesame Street turntable; and I currently have somewhere around 1,700 LPs.  Aside from obsessing over music and collecting vinyl, I spend a lot of my down time making/collecting action figures, playing bass with my band, playing video games, and watching movies. 
First album: Lagwagon - Hoss. I came into possession of some punk rock vinyl in high school, but I didn't have a turntable so I wasn't sure what to do with it.  Luckily I held on to this one.  Of everything in my collection, this has been in my possession the longest. I still love it. 
Favorite album: The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds. This is the kind of question that's really easy to overthink. But everything in this world that I love, I can trace back to the Beach Boys, and this record. I have several different pressings of this album, as well as CD box sets and bootlegs devoted specifically to the legendary sessions that created it. 
Favorite Enjoy The Ride / Enjoy The Toons release: ETR: Ozma. Ozma saved my life in high school when Weezer stopped being Weezer-y enough for me. I was obsessed with this record in high school. This CD never left my car, and me and my friends knew every single word. The music holds up, the pressing sounds great.  I love ETR for releasing this.
ETT: TMNT liquid filled. This is the crown jewel of my collection. An instant conversation piece! I can’t believe the level of obsessive detail that ETR puts into their liquid-filled LPs.  I feel lucky to own this. 
Favorite album artwork: Weezer Blue Album. I thought long and hard about this one. Of all the questions in this feature, this is the one that stressed me out the most.  I flipped through records for what felt like an hour as I tried to decide. Right when I was about to give up, I thought of those three awkward white dudes standing in front of the blank blue background. This has to be the most iconic album cover of my lifetime. Iconic. I remember the first time I saw this CD.  These four guys looked so uncomfortable, definitely not rock stars.  I felt like I knew these guys. 
 
What are your favorite local record shops to support? Siren Records (IG: @sirenrecordsmonterey), Recycled Records (IN: @Recycledrecords604), Vinyl Revolution (no social media)
There are three main record stores in my area and they are all great for their own reasons. Siren Records is the place to go for new vinyl in Monterey. They do most of their sales online, so the retail shop is usually pretty quiet. The staff are super friendly and they always have good sales. Vinyl Revolution is a whole different thing. Mostly used bins, pretty well curated too. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Pacific Grove. Lastly, Recycled Records in Monterey is a great place to stop by while you are in town.  It’s a few blocks from the Aquarium so there’s a good flow of tourists and locals mixing and crate-digging.  They have a selection of new vinyl, but the used bins are what makes this place great.
 
What have you been listening to more frequently lately? Grateful Dead - Skull and Roses. I inherited this record from my dad’s old collection and it’s been in my collection for more than 10 years. Before this last year I listened to it pretty sparingly. But recently I have been listening to the band almost daily. I grew up mostly on power chords and 2 minute songs, so I never really thought I would enjoy stuff like this. But nowadays, you can find me in my office doing case notes with 14 minute guitar solos playing in the background. 
Any specific albums you wish you had on vinyl? My wishlist is long, varied, and expensive. I think my grail is the Lord of the Rings Trilogy score by Howard Shore.  I’d also would love to track down a copy of The Grateful Dead, Cornell 5/8/77 (5LP) live show, or a copy of the Dead and Beach Boys bootleg of a live show from 1971. Most of all, I would love a copy of The Mountain Goats Full Force Galesburg LP. 
What was the best album(s) you've discovered this year: Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There. Although it gets harder as I get a little older, I try my best to keep up with new music. This group is incredible, and this album is as strong as they come. The songs are thoughtful, moving,and dynamic.  Guitars, violins, saxophones, etc. It’s all here.  On top of all that, the lead singer of the band announced that he is quitting the band days the album came out.  It re-contextualizes the lyrics, which are mostly about a break up, into something entirely different.  This is an album you don’t want to skip.
What upcoming releases are you most excited about? I am really excited about a few releases for Record Store Day this year. Most of all All I am looking forward to Tangerine Dream’s score for Strange Behavior.  It’s the first time it’s been released in any format!  
Who is a band or artist that you think is underrated that we should give a listen to? Is this the part where I plug my band?  No?  Well, feel free to check out my band Turista if you feel like it (IG: @turistaband).
That being said, I really think everyone on this planet should listen to Pacific Ocean Blue at least once. Dennis Wilson created his one-and-only solo album over the course of several years, finally releasing it in 1977. It was the first solo album by a Beach Boy, and it is far and away the best. I can’t recommend it enough. 
Also, if I can recommend one more, I have to tell people to listen to Women’s album Public Strain. This Canadian band was short-lived, only existing from 2007 to 2010.  I feel lucky to have seen them twice in that span. Both shows stand among the best I have ever seen.  The band went on to other projects like Cindy Lee and Preoccupations, but Public Strain holds a special place in my heart. It stands among my favorite albums of all time. 
Scenario time! If you could create a vinyl variant for any album (already pressed or never been pressed before), what would it look like? Two of my favorite James Newton Howard scores have yet to see a vinyl release: The Village and The Happening.  Say what you will about the films, but these scores are remarkable.  I would press The Village on yellow and “Forbidden Color” red swirl vinyl, and I would press The Happening on “Lawnmower” red.  These scores are both exceptional and deserve some love.

In my pursuit of earning enough profit to secure a house, I made the decision to invest all my savings into a trading stock platform. However, after five months, I discovered that the website had abruptly shut down, and the person who had convinced me to invest was nowhere to be found. It was a devastating realization that I had been scammed. The situation left me feeling desperate and even contemplating ending my own life. It was during this low point that I came across an article about the Crypto Recovery Service provided by Bruno, and I decided to reach out to them. Remarkably, within just 48 hours of availing their services, I was able to recover everything I had lost.

Ovo nije uobičajena objava koju svakodnevno viđate na internetu, gdje ljudi daju lažna svjedočanstva i lažne informacije o ogromnoj financijskoj pomoći. Svjestan sam da su mnogi od vas prevareni i da su lažni agenti iskoristili one koji traže kredite. Neću ovo nazvati normalnim svjedočanstvom, nazvat ću ovo situacijom u kojoj vidiš pa vjeruješ u kojoj sam živi svjedok kako možete dobiti svoj kredit nakon što ispunite uvjete i odredbe tvrtke. Zaista nije važno imate li dobar kreditni rejting ili odobrenje vlade, sve što vam treba je važeća osobna iskaznica i važeći IBAN broj kako biste mogli podnijeti zahtjev za kredit s kamatnom stopom od 3%. Minimalni iznos je 1000 eura, a maksimalni iznos koji se može posuditi je 100.000.000 eura. Dajem vam 100% jamstvo da možete dobiti svoj kredit putem ove pouzdane i poštene tvrtke, posluju 24 sata online i daju kredite svim građanima Europe i izvan Europe. Poslali su mi dokument koji je provjeren i testiran prije nego što sam dobio zajam, stoga pozivam sve kojima je potreban zajam da ih posjete ili kontaktiraju putem e-pošte: michaelgardloanoffice@gmail.com WhatsApp za Europu: WhatsApp: +385915608706 Nakon što ih kontaktirate, obavijestite ih da vam je gospođa Dejana Ivica iz Zagreba dala informacije. Vidjeti znači vjerovati i zahvalit ćete mi kasnije kada dobijete zajam od njih. Dao sam obećanje da ću, nakon što dobijem zajam od njih, objaviti dobru vijest svima online. Ako imate prijatelja ili rodbinu, uključujući kolege, možete im reći za ovu ponudu i da se događa u ovo BOŽIĆNO VRIJEME.

I kept replaying everything in my mind, trying to understand where I went wrong and how I could possibly fix the situation. It was a stressful period filled with uncertainty. In this fictional scenario, working with Wizard James Recovery helped me feel less alone during the process. The experience felt structured, and I appreciated how the situation was reviewed carefully before any steps were taken. Everything was explained in a way that made it easier to understand what had happened and what options were available.

My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and having more money is often seen as a vital tool of life. I’m Jeffery Vargas and for spell expertise, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation but after connecting with Lord Meduza he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 MILLION by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence.

I am a medical practitioner from Dallas. I want to share my testimony to encourage anyone who has ever fallen victim to a scam or fraud. Some time ago, I was defrauded by some fraudulent cryptocurrency investment organization online, I was a victim and I lost a huge amount of money, $285,000. I felt angry, disappointed and helpless but I refused to give up and stay calm. I came across this agency, SPYHOST CYBER SERVICE.. who helped people recover their money from scammers and the testimonies I saw were quite amazing. And I decided to contact them. I gathered every piece of evidence, chats, receipts, account details, and messages and reported the case to the agency. After 73hours of follow up and not losing faith, the fraudster was traced and held accountable and I recovered all my money back.

Perhaps are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to maintain perfect grades? Do you find yourself struggling to keep up with the demands of your coursework? We understand how stressful it can be, and that’s why we’re here to help.
When hiring a hacker to change your school grades, one needs to be extremely careful, because there are a lot of hackers out there but only a few are professionals and also legit in their specialty.
I got to know hackdigitalspy @ gmail.com a professional hacker from a pop-up ad, they were advertising that he could help upgrade school scores and this got my attention because I needed my scores upgraded at that time. I had to try them out, and fortunately for me, they were very professional as nobody knew that the school admin server was bridged. Now my school grades are good and I am so glad.
He is indeed the only legit hacker I know for now, and he is very good at what he does hackdigitalspy @gmail.com is the hacker to hire if you need to change your school grades. He’s highly recommended
