PO: Saul Williams - MartyrLoserKing (01/29/16)


Recommended Posts

Saul Williams' sixth studio album, MartyrLoserKing, comes out in about a week, and you can check it out now on NPR. Saul is pretty damn amazing, and Amazon's got the LP for a ridiculous $7.99.

 

Great interview with him on Okayplayer about this record: http://www.okayplayer.com/news/saul-williams-mlk-new-lp-martyr-loser-king.html

Saul is the man. When he was doing a spoken word tour, I had the opportunity to pick him up from the Detroit airport and drive him back to Ann Arbor for the show. Great guy to talk to, really intelligent and well spoken, and interesting as hell. He's been churning out amazing music for so long now.

 

With a price tag of $7.99, you can't pass this up.

Looking forward to this but I think amazon caught on and the vinyl is either not available or back up to what it looks like retail price here in Canada. 

 

And my continued search for a decent copy of Niggy Tardust at a decent price continues...

 

Depending on your definition of "decent" you may be searching a while.

Well, I know why this LP was so cheap now.  Literally the worst QC I have seen on a record that was not a bootleg.  I am shocked this was even accepted from the factory.  My copy is missing the center label on side one (of two - a single LP), has audible cracks and pops fresh out of the packaging (after brushing), and the real treat is that the center hole on the LP is drilled wider than a standard spindle hole so the record moves around on the table, and ADDITIONALLY is shaped conically...one side pushing out from the plane of the record so that it cannot sit flat on the platter.

I'll be honest this is straight up unacceptable.  I'm going to return this for my menial $8 back.
