Swell Season - Forward - Ivory - VINYL LP

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip hop trio de la Soul and was released on March 3, 1989. It marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. Critically, as well as commercially, the album was a success. It contains the singles, InchMe Myself and IInch, InchThe Magic Number, Inch InchBuddy, Inch and InchEye KnowInch. The album title came from the Johnny Cash song InchFive Feet High and RisingInch. It is listed on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held it's annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked #1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, de la Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, InchMe, Myself and I.Inch Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a InchhippieInch group, based on their declaration of the InchD.A.I.S.Y. AgeInch (Da. Inner. Soul. Yall). Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap). 3 Feet High & Rising was chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry for it's cultural significance and general excellence. 7Inch box set; 12 7Inch, 42 gram, custom colored 7Inch in custom printed jackets in a 7Inch box w/ a 7Inch pinup and 1 double sided 7Inch slipmat.

Available for the album's 20th anniversary, Cat Power's 'The Greatest' on pink vinyl with a limited reprinting of the original pink foil cover.For 'The Greatest,' Chan Marshall returned to Memphis, pursuing the slinky Hi Records sound of the 70s, famed for it's sensuous feel and beguiling rhythms. She got Al Green's guitarist and songwriting partner Mabon InchTeenieInch Hodges (InchLove and HappinessInch and InchTake Me to the RiverInch) to play guitar on the whole album. With Teenie came his Hi Rhythm bandmate (and brother) Leroy InchFlickInch Hodges, who plays on half of the album (Memphis A-team bassist Dave Smith supplements). Anchoring the band is Steve Potts (Booker T. and the MG). Other top Memphis musicians guest on keyboards, horns and strings. Cat Power went right to the sources, and created her own paean to the songs and styles she grew up on.'The Greatest' adds to Cat Power's singular sound all the elements that make an Al Green record great Memphis horns, funky string arrangements, smooth background vocals. InchLived in BarsInch is a hypnotic song that seems to start in the middle of the night and flow backward like water upstream to the source of a good time. Many songs hearken back to earlier in Cat Power's career, like the surface simplicity of InchWillieInch-much more complicated upon deeper listen-and like InchWhere Is My Love,Inch which sounds like it could be the first song she ever wrote, and also the one to which she has always aspired. InchLiving Proof,Inch on the other hand, has an almost gospel-like swing that stands in contrast to the quieter songs. The ethereal title track is the missing link between Big Star '3rd' and the 21st century.

Talon of the Hawk is the second studio album by American rock band The Front Bottoms, released on May 21, 2013 on Bar/None. The album's title is partly inspired by the character, Hawk, from the television series, Twin Peaks. Vocalist and guitarist Brian Sella stated InchI have this thing with pocket knives; I think they're kind of cool. I was sitting in the van and drew this pocket knife. My girlfriend and I were watching Twin Peaks, and there's this police officer on the show that's called Hawk. I thought it was a badass nickname. So on the picture with the pocket knife, I wrote underneath it InchTalon Of The Hawk, Inch just because it popped into my head and thought it was kind of cool. As it was getting close to the time we needed to make a decision on the album name, I found the picture with the pocket knife that I had drawn in the van coming back from recording. I just said the name and everyone kind of just agreed, and that's how it came up.Inch
