Rudderless Records Weekly Mailout #54

 

Our weekly look at this weeks new arrivals, re-stock, staff picks and a whole lot more...

MF DOOM Nastradoomus Vol.1 The late great MF Doom is still sorely missed a few years on from his passing. Fortunately, there is a wealth of musical legacy to enjoy and continue exploring whether for the first time or as a reminder of his mad skills. To that end, this is a reissue of his NAStradoomus Vol 1 album. It comes as part of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop celebrations on special gold vinyl and includes the evergreen MF Doom remix of 'If I Ruled The World'. This special edition comes with a stickered sleeve. Purchase Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Damn The Torpedos (Reissue) Damn the Torpedoes is the third studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released on October 19, 1979. This was the first of three Petty albums originally released by the Backstreet Records label, distributed by MCA Records. Purchase Melanie Martinez K-12 Melanie Martinez's sophomore album, K-12, is another ambitious triumph for the artist. As with her debut album Cry Baby, K-12's music is a vibrant and singular melting pot of low-key hip-hop, soulful pop and indie-leaning electro. K-12's universe is an expansion of the one introduced in Cry Baby. Using lyrics rich with metaphor, songs address the struggle to find a place to belong -including within friendships, the physical world and romantically - even when fitting into society feels like an uphill battle. Purchase Hank Williams III Greatest Hits Hank Williams III's Greatest Hits presents fifteen of Hank III's biggest selling country songs for the first time in one package. This collection simultaneously showcases Hank's strong country influences from his legendary heritage as well as his own outlaw edge. Shelton Hank Williams, better known as Hank III, is an outlaw, a battler of convention. He comes by it naturally: The third generation of Hanks, and the third generation to tilt nobly at country traditions and white-collar establishment sensibilities. After all, this 39-year-old semi-reformed punk-metal drummer is the son of Hank Jr., a blue-collar hero who has difficulty ducking controversy even on something as Richard Nixon and apple pie American as Monday Night Football. Purchase The Go! Team Thunder Lightning Strike Thunder, Lightning, Strike is the debut studio album by English band The Go! Team. It was initially released on label Memphis Industries on 13 September 2004, but was reworked to avoid legal issues with samples, and re-released in October 2005. Purchase Arlo Parks My Soft Machine Arlo Parks sophomore album, My Soft Machine, is a deeply personal body of work; a narration of Parks' experiences as she navigates her 20's and the growth intertwined. It follows her highly-praised debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which received two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the BRIT Award for Best New Artist, received the Honda Mercury Prize, won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award, was nominated for Breakthrough International Act at the BET Awards and reached the top 3 on the UK Album Charts. The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles throughout 2021/2022. Arlo worked alongside producers including Paul Epworth, Ariel Rechtshaid, Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Frank Ocean-collaborator Buddy Ross, and Carter Lang (SZA), whilst also self-producing a run of material on the album. The record features a guest vocal from musician and friend, Phoebe Bridgers.   Purchase

Audio Technica LP60X - Auto Belt Drive Turntable Whether you’re just getting into records, rediscovering a record collection long since buried away or simply adding a turntable to complete your system, the AT-LP60X fully automatic belt-drive turntable is an excellent choice. This affordable, easy-to-use turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, with its built-in switchable phono preamp, can be connected directly to your home stereo, powered speakers, computer and other components, whether they have a dedicated phono input or not.   An update of the popular AT-LP60, the ATLP60X features a redesigned tonearm base and headshell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis where its impact on the signal chain is limited. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the AT-LP60X’s Dual Magnet™ cartridge with replaceable stylus. The cartridge is integrated into the headshell for assured performance and ease of setup. The turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (3.5 mm male to dual RCA male), 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover.   Experience the high-fidelity audio of vinyl   Fully automatic belt-drive turntable operation with two speeds: 33-1/3, 45 RPM   Anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter   Redesigned tonearm base and headshell for improved tracking and reduced resonance   Integral Dual Magnet™ phono cartridge with replaceable diamond stylus (ATN3600L)   AC adapter handles AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis, reducing noise in the signal chain   Built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier for phono- or line-level output   Includes: detachable RCA output cable (3.5 mm male to dual RCA male), 45 RPM adapter, and removable hinged dust cover   Specifications   Type fully automatic Motor DC servo-controlled Drive Method Belt-drive Speeds 33-1/3 RPM, 45 RPM Turntable Platter Aluminium Wow and Flutter Less than 0.25% (WTD) @ 3 kHz (JIS) Signal-to-Noise Ratio >50 dB (DIN-B) Output Level Pre-amp “PHONO”: 2.5 mV nominal at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec Pre-amp “LINE”: 150 mV nominal at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec Phono Pre-Amp Gain 36 dB nominal, RIAA equalized Power Supply Requirements 115/230V AC, 60/50 Hz Dimensions 359.5 mm x 97.5 mm x 373.3 mm Weight 2.6 kg Accessories Included 3.5 mm (1/8") mini-plug (male) to dual RCA (male) output cable 45 RPM adapter Removable hinged dust cover   Buy Now Pro-Ject vinyl clean.
