Welcome to my first Hipsquare: Vinyl Playlist!
Nine tunes drawn from my limited-edition vinyl collection, collected by a theme for your visual and listening pleasure.
This is the first of three autumnal-themed playlists being launched together to start this thing off - next up green and orange (obvs) - more sexy splatters, splits and marbled to follow! You can find all of them together here...
When I run out of vinyl colourway options I’ll get creative with album artwork, record-label or other randomness.
Here are the yellow vinyl albums from which the tracks come from: (all photos from the original media)
So, what did you think? Any bands/artists new to you?
Did you like the progression from more ethereal to dancing-trousers territory?
Nice variation of translucents and opaque tones in the pressings. I think I prefer the more solid colours; the mustard one of Sheafs Happy Medium works well with the album cover as does the brightness of the Selecter’s Daylight.
Steady cover game here, with powerful abstracts (Liela Moss / WMC) but the photo ones a little too staged for my liking, except Geese which is bonkers. Gawd knows what Billie Martin was thinking though…
In terms of added interest, a few signed copies in this batch including the hardback photobook/signed artcard version of Dua Lipa’s, Future Nostalgia, plus Liela Moss's Atoms in Me came with a separate signed art print of the cover. Nice. I also have Working Men’s Club in the hyper-limited ‘RAW’ format and Resident Records blue. More about that on another occasion..!
