**ALL OPINIONS STATED ARE MINE ALONE**
- Continuing with the solo dudes from 1967 for #5debutalbums50s60s. I picked this up cheap a few months ago, but didn’t spin it. 1st listen and I’m enjoying it. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s is a serious contender for me. This record gets played frequently—probably the most of my LC albums. I usually pull this slightly crackly OP, even though I have cleaner represses. It always hits a deep nerve. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- First up this morning—and finally moving into 1967—for #5debutalbums50s60s. I’m a recent convert to Scott, and I’ve been patiently anticipating spinning this one. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Last spin for tonight. Picked up this literal genre-defining slab (recent repress) today. #5debutalbums50s60s #johnsvinyl
- Correction to alt text above: 1957, not 1959.
- Last spin of 1966 from #johnsvinyl for consideration in #5debutalbums50s60s And it’s a zinger! Considered the first rock double album—a bold move for a debut. #nowplaying
- Fast forward 7 years from Willie and we find ourselves here for #5debutalbums50s60s. This is not my go-to Cream record, so I’m happy to spin it after a long time. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Home from a long day and I’m ready to spin some #johnsvinyl for #5debutalbums50s60s. Picked this one up today, just in time! #nowplaying
- Last up tonight is another folk-pop record for #5debutalbums50s60s. The distinctive multi-language approach adds to its appeal. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- In the midst of all that was changing in 1966 emerged this middle of the road, but pop-tastic, record that has somehow held its charm. The Wrecking Crew and Lee Hazelwood didn’t hurt #5debutalbums50s60s
- Another 1966 folk-pop pioneer for consideration in #5debutalbums50s60s. I’ve always liked “Along comes Mary” #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up from 1966 for #5debutalbums50s60s is a record that substantially defined the folk-pop style that followed. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Progress report on my listening party for #5debutalbums50s60s. I have 70 records in #johnsvinyl for 1950-1966. I’ve listened to 60 so far (4 skipped, 6 remain). I have 65 vinyl records for 1967-1969, all of which I would like to listen to, but I’ll have to do a lot of skipping before the vote.
- I’ve been patiently waiting to spin this contender for #5debutalbums50s60s In the context of what I’ve listening to recently, it’s a psychedelic take on American garage rock. And they hit a nerve (or many). #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s. Tommy James and the Shondells with a pop take on garage rock, which works most of the time #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s This is a terrific record that I pull out every once in an awhile. The Tennessee Three was the backing band! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s. There are some great tracks and some stinkers here. But the backing musicians were top notch. It’s fun and that was the goal. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Reposted by John LogsdonThe UI Department of Biology’s inaugural Barbara Stay Alumnus Seminar will be held this Friday, February 6, featuring alumnus Atulya Iyengar, PhD, as the speaker. A reception with refreshments will be held in the BBE Lobby following the seminar. All are welcome to attend, & we hope to see you there!
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60 —something different. The other David (aka Davy) Jones, pre-Monkees. Definitely not a contender #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Picked this up today from my pals at Rogue Planet Music in Des Moines. Genre-defining US garage rock from 1966 under consideration for #5debutalbums50s60s #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s. Picked up last week. Among the best debut records from the ubiquitous British guitar bands of the era. Their re-titled cover of Willie Dixon’s “You need love” is great & previews the more famous LZ version that won’t appear for a few years. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Truly weird result if they are correct. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

- Always glad to give this classic debut a spin. A contender for #5debutalbums50s60s. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Kicking off 1966 for #5debutalbums50s60s with this garage rock classic. This is “Black Monk Time” with a different cover/title. #johnsvinyl #johnsvinyl
- Round out 1965 for #5debutalbums50s60s with this one. Cher’s voice is great here #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Last one tonight for #5debutalbums50s60s. This US debut is not only titled differently, it has a significantly different track list than the UK version (“The Magnificent Moodies”). Pre-prog/psych version of the band on full display here. Moody R&B! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Nearing the bottom of 1965 with this one for #5debutalbums50s60s Donovan has considerable similarity to Dylan here, but he’s definitely different enough to be interesting. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Next up for #5debutalbums50s60s is this early American garage rock band with their debut (and only) record. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
- Home from a long day at work, soi it’s time to spin a few for #5debutalbums50s60s. The Who finally enter the fray with their 1965 (1966 in US) debut. The US track list differs by one track. My copy is a part of a two-album repress set. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying
