So after picking up two more Theo Parrish records tonight I've realised that I've slowly and unwittingly nearly become a Theo completist.
the only ones im missing are that mustang record (which im resigned to not owning, i just dont care about it enough to pay what people want for it), that apricot one, and essential selections 1.
According to Discogs I've got all but a few. I've passed on a couple of Sound Signatures and I haven't heard the two on Music Is, the one on Apricot/Filth, the second on Track Mode, nor 'Mustang' (which I assume is fairly impossible to obtain). Are any of those essential? The three SS that I've passed on are You Forgot/Dirt Rhodes, Instant Insanity (actually not sure that I've heard this) and Musical Metaphors. Oh, and I can't convince myself to pick up Roots Revisited because I've already got Baby Steps. Am I crazy?
DOOD. roots revisited has "dan ryan" on it which is surely one of theo's top 3 tracks of all time. the mix of "walking in the sky" on roots is unlistenable, but dan ryan is worth whatever they want for it. its such a killer tune. buy two and play double copies. the second one on trackmode is strange but not essential. musical metaphors is essential. i like "you forgot" but its not essential. id consider instant insanity as essential if you can get your hands on it for a reasonable price. was that included in this recent repress? tommmmmmmm
