Happy Record Store Day Week Buddies! ๐๐พ It's a great list this year, and one of those coveted selections is sure to be the 90's rock album "Puzzle" from dada. For this 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts we speak with Joie Calio from dada to celebrate this long overdue vinyl arrival! (1:11)
The chat begins with learning about the origins of the band and how the boys crafted their sound in the early days before connecting with famed producer Ken Scott (The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Lou Reed) to record their debut for I.R.S. records - 1992's debut "Puzzle". (2:04)
From there Joie reflects on last year's "Return to Dizz Knee Land" tour (including some clutch assistance from a certain Concert Buddie at one fateful gig) (16:17) before we learn how "Puzzle" got the long overdue vinyl pressing she deserves (26:53).
A lot of miles to cover (literally) on this latest spin on the turntable, but with Record Store Day in sight, this vinyl "puzzle" is fixing to be solved. Hear all about it only on Vinyl Community Podcasts! ๐งฉ
