Last week, I picked up this Deluxe Edition copy of The Cranberries, No Need to Argue album from Now and Then Oshawa.

Originally released in 1994, the album finally got repressed in 2015 on 180 gram vinyl. And subsequently was released in 10 different colour variants from 2016 to 2018.

To my surprise Island records released this deluxe edition of the album in black as well as clear vinyl in late 2020. This edition includes a live version of Yesterday's Gone from the band's MTV Unplugged appearance as well as all the additional b-side tracks from the No Need To Argue era.

So despite having 3 copies of this album on vinyl already (OG 94, 180gram 2015, cranberry red 2016) I simply had to have this in my collection

This was the birth of a vinyljunkie.

Just imagine being 4 or 5 years old and waking up on Saturday morning to the whole world shaking around you. Even before open my eyes, my ears are getting flooded with music being blasted in the living room and filling up the entire apartment. I have no idea how we never got any noise complaints from any of the neighbours but this was a regular occurrence and this was where I gained a love of music, from my father.

In the late 70s, once we moved out of my aunt and uncles basement and into our own apartment my father bought a Pioneer turntable and receiver and that is when this weekend ritual had begun.

My father would spin the likes of America, Pink Floyd, Santana. And it's on the very same turntable that I continue to listen to records today, over 45 years later.

#NowPlaying : Taylor Swift - Midnights. Hello friends. It's been awhile since I last posted. I'm the problem, it's me. It's been quite a wild couple of years hasn't it? What have you been listening too lately? For me it's been Lizzo, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and this all American sweetheart, Taylor Swift.

90s Dance Anthems (2019) I love a good compilation record and this one is jam packed with retro bangers, or anthems as we use to call them back in the day. Thanks to @derekshane78 for always bringing in unique releases into @popmusicto. (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0W4uY1pEHi/?igshid=1qmp5mp4i91zb

Dan Croll, Emerging Adulthood (2017) This album is two years old, yesterday, but pretty new to me. Being heavily influenced by my new man, Tim. Apparently I’m his “Bad Boy”. #vinyl #vinylgram #vinyligclub #toronto #newmusic #newtome (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OxpwzpFk5/?igshid=b9qmaynsrf35

Travis, The Man Who (RE 2019) Pretty stoke to that this album has been re-pressed. Classic songwriting, and that hypnotizing voice to top it off. Damn. #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinylgram #travis (at Regent Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0G9BP4JR6H/?igshid=1efhatuba27rn

Parcels, Self Titled (2018) Discovered these guys off a @spotify chill playlist when Tim (the new man in my life) pointed it out and loved it. It’s been in rotation ever since, so I picked up the vinyl too. They are an Australian electropop band now based in Berlin. Check them out. #parcels #electropop #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #debutalbum #vinylgram (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6P_Jfp6q7/?igshid=1crosxh52k9wb

Whitney Houston (1987) Side A - So Emotional Side B - For the Love Of You It’s songs like this which really fed into me becoming hopeless romantic as teen. Aside from Whitney’s phenomenal voice her songs have historically covered love in all it stages. And here I am starting a new chapter and getting so emotional. #WhitneyHouston #vinyl #vinylgram #vinyligclub #45rpm #80smusic (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxsL0xAXQw/?igshid=13vfsqb7j49lb

Chris Isaak (1991) Side A - Blue Hotel Side B - Wicked Game I picked up this 45 for side B not for side A. Wicked Game, one of the sexiest songs and video at the time. Chris Isaak’s voice is simply sexy and smooth I can listen to it for days. And the accompanying video, at least the Herb Ritts version (there were two different videos for this single) captures Isaak and model Helena Christensen frolicking on the beach in stunning black and white. #45rpm #vinyligclub #vinylgram #wickedgame #chrisisaak https://www.instagram.com/p/ByP9L1CgoM3/?igshid=1oniw54m4t0tl

Extreme (1991) Side A - More Than Words Side B - Nice Place To Visit I’m a hopeless romantic. Cross that with my love of music, and I turn to mush with sappy love songs like More Than Words. It’s a song I’ve carried my whole life, a song that I’ve sung in karaoke a song that I live by. I use my words, but I usually pair that up equally with actions, with grandiose displays of affection. Like I said. I’m a hopeless romantic. #extreme #morethanwords #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinylgram #45rpm (at Old Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNsBnsgO2y/?igshid=19uzx7072vrjf

#SoundtrackSunday : The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen of the Dessert (2019) Happy Pride Month to all my fellow gays. I’ve been celebrating pride for over 20 years now and this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots that started the gay movement. Despite that, and despite how far we have come, it’s still equally important to fight for our rights, cause queer rights are human rights. Very excited to have this soundtrack in my collection. It’s a limited edition pressing of 2500 copies pressed on pink and lavender vinyl. And it’s choke full of classic gay anthems and remixes. Thanks to @popmusicto for importing this treasure. For those of you who don’t know, Derek has been working tirelessly to build his business over the last year and a half, especially curating a lot releases that are near and dear to our community. Thanks for all your hard work, know that it’s appreciated. #priscillaqueenofthedesert #soundtrack #vinyl #vinylgram #vinyligclub #colouredvinyl (at Riverdale, Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNwc00JK8W/?igshid=1611hosb3iblg

Tears for Fears, Rule The World (2017) Picked up a used copy of the Tears for Fears greatest hits compilation. It’s amazing to see all these hits on one release. So many classic tracks.

Crowded House (1988) Side A - Better Be Home Soon Side B - Kill Eye This song was high on my rotation when it was first released in 1988. There’s something quite soothing about Neil Finn’s voice, and it’s in the perfect range for me to sing along to my hearts content. The romantic in me is simply moved by this non traditional love song. #crowdedhouse #neilfinn #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinylgram #45rpm (at Old Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGcU5FgaWy/?igshid=7ctil7uunukk
