Dinosaur Jr. - Visitors [7", Boxset]

There were 5000 copies made for Record Store Day 2014 of this 7" boxset called VISITORS. It captures the first four DINOSAUR JR. singles on SST and Homestead, and a bonus 7" with two covers from that period: I Feel A Whole Lot Better (originally by The Byrds) and Peter Frampton's Show Me The Way. Pretty cool stuff, especially for a person like me who likes Dinosaur Jr. a lot and has seen them perform live a few times already, but rarely has any music by them on vinyl. Most of what i have by this band is on CD. I'm especially fond of their version of The Cure's Just Like Heaven. There's also a really cool booklet inside with an essay by Maura Jasper who made the band's artwork in those days, and some unreleased work by her.

Various Artists - The Bridge (A Tribute To Neil Young) [12", LP]

When this compilation had just come out, i borrowed the CD from the library and taped it. Around 6 years ago i threw away all my tapes and i forgot about this NEIL YOUNG tribute called THE BRIDGE ever since. It's long deleted on CD as well nowadays so you rarely find it in shops anymore, but last weekend i stumbled upon the vinyl edition at the Utrecht recordfair. Brought back sweet memories so i couldn't resist buying it. I must say that I'm not particularly a Neil Young fan (although i appreciate his work and i'm certainly not a hater), but i really do love some of the artists on this tribute LP. I mean, where do you find a compilation of rare tracks by bands like Flaming Lips, Loop, Nick Cave, Pixies, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr.? One by one great versions of these songs as well. Definitely worth the purchase.
