20 / 121: Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine What strikes me most when listening to this album on vinyl is the incredible crescendo at the end of Side A (on Bullet In The Head). Was this on purpose? In the early days of vinyl and cassettes as default format, did they plan an album’s track list with this in mind like a mid-season finale? I like to think that yes they definitely did. In fact I’m almost certain they did. I bought this record on my first ever trip to New York in 2004, long before I owned a record player. Shortly after I started this x/121 project, I started trying to catalogue from memory when and where each record in my collection was bought. Bizarrely a couple of days later my Mum phoned to say she’d found an old plastic bag from Virgin Megastores in a cupboard with some old receipts of mine - including one confirming that this record was purchased from the Union Square branch on 23rd August 2004 at 3:37pm for the modest sum of $12 #vinyl #records #recordcollection #vinyligclub #ratm #rageagainstthemachine
