Bit longer gap than I intended between the last one and this. I assume everyone will have forgotten all about what this is, so a quick reminder of what these posts are all about...
My record collection listening chain is a series of occasional posts working through my 7" single collection (and maybe other records as well). The general idea is that I started by posting about the first record in my collection, then asked readers to reply with a random number from 1 to 100. I would then choose someone at random, and count on from the last record posted about by the number they have chosen and post about that record. Then we'll rinse and repeat until we get bored! I was rewarding the lucky winner with some SBI, but think I'll keep that a bit simpler (and more sustainable for me 😉) by delegating 100 HP. I'm going to aim to do these fortnightly from here on in, so that's 100HP for two weeks (minimum). If these get more popular, then I may up that, but we'll see...
So. Without further ado, the person randomly chosen from those who left a number in the last post was @edje, who chose 42. I'll delegate the HP as soon as I've posted this...
And the record that is 42 on from Ray Charles in my collection is People are People by Depeche Mode.
Depeche Mode have a strange place in my musicography. I have loved pretty much everything they have done - especially back in the day. But I never owned any music by them. Most of my DM stuff are records I've acquired since I started buying them again. And I have no idea why that is!
They seldom put a foot wrong, and Violator is simply an immense album. But I don't own a copy. Peculiar.
And talking of peculiar, the video for People Are People is downright strange. Just the mix of images - battleships, the DM boys pulling levers and spinning wheels in what looks like a museum ship, shots of record pressing plants, paratroopers. Weird.
But it is a cracking song.
So. No big anecdotes from me this time (apart from the DM shaped hole in my old music collection).
If you want to join in and be in with the chance of me delegating some HP to you for a couple of weeks, then all you have to do is reply to this with a random number between 1 and 100. I'll choose someone at random in 2 weeks and we'll count on from People are People by the amount chosen.
Tell you what - as an extra bonus if you're a Rising Star player, I'll chuck in an instrument card as well. could be anything. Except a production card, 'cos that's what I collect 😆
If you're not a Rising Star player, you're missing out - join in the fun by joining up here
Previous records from the collection...

One of the best ways you can help indie musicians like me - should you want to - is to share our music. Posting on Twitter and in Facebook groups is great, liking and sharing anywhere is super, and liking tunes & following artists on Spotify, YouTube and other streaming services all help to feed the algorithm and raises the chance of our stuff being noticed and seen by others. Thanks!

And also ringing bells! LOL
Great review! I'll choose number 18 for the next round!
I completely agree. 😀
I didn't say much in this one, to be honest. Check out the others though (links in the main post) where I'm much more chatty! 😉
You said enough to take me down memory lane! :) Will definitely check out the other posts!
Also, congrats on getting your face on a card! I just only now realised it was you! very cool!
Super - pleased you like it, and hope you like the others!
Isn't it? I'm inordinately chuffed about it. Will be even more chuffed if I manage to get one! But the chances of that are exceedingly slim - but we'll carry on hitting the packs...
You've reminded me I haven't shouted about it anywhere at all, yet. Will let Bandcamp Friday calm down then do that...
Owwww there you are!
How f*ing cool is this (sorry for my language).
First time I got picked and then Depeche Mode. One of my favourite bands from back in the days as well. Music I still listen today, from time to time.
The number for the next round is: 42 (what else :)
I know. I have a bit of a history of starting things, and then fading out. But I have put a reminder in my calendar - every 2 weeks! Without fail! We've a lot of records to get through.... 😆
Hm. I see a trend...
Somehow 42 is part of what I am, at least on HIVE and anything around it. Like on Discord, I'm edje42 :) And I live at 'the end of the universe' according to my profile at HIVE. A slight variation to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe :) With all this, I assume you know about 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', and the meaning of 42 that took 4 books out of the trilogy written by Douglas Adams? 😉
Oh, indeed. I'm old enough to remember the original radio series from the late 70's. Though I might be misremembering that (I would have been 10 or so), but I was all over the early 80s TV series, and I think I'd read the first 2 books before that.
Hahahaha ok ok 🤣
I never heard the radio series, or TV series. Just read the books 😉
Lets see, when we live on the post-Singularity era, if our AI will come up with the same answer when we ask THE question! When so, Douglas can't be anything else than our God, or is at least the one who gives bearth to what we call AI these days {LOL}
I took that no as well, just on the wrong post...
Do choose another - it's a couple of weeks until the next recoed will be chosen...
How about 77
It's as good a number as any other... 😀
Number 26 for the win!
88
Just here for the Rising Star Card ;p
I admire and respect your honesty! 😉 😆
You are welcome, nonetheless. You may discover some music you like... 🤷♂
i Just strated playing Rising Star today and stumbled on this post when I checked out the RisingStarGame account.
I'll take #14.
Hi my number is 32
For the Rising Star card, I'm a taker
And thank you for this opportunity 🤞
51 because it was the number on my jersey back when I played football in college!
Haha true, but 7 is my favorite number and I saw the 7" record size so I thought why not 77 😝
Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 24 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to hive-engine.com
i pick 66 😎
This post gives you a point for the initial distribution of our tribe's token. 🎶
What a beautiful collection you have. Someday I will buy a turntable, and the first 8 albums I will acquire will be the Led Zeppelin discography.
I choose number 9.
