Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Behold! Hark! Achtung! Ben Blackwell fans the world over, rejoice! May we proudly present to you, a (almost) complete playlist of Blackwell’s Record of the Week selections. Streaming in crystal-clear high fidelity for your listening convenience via Tidal.
A favorite, storied Vault institution, Blackwell’s Record of the Week mines the depths of one of eBay/Discogs’ most frequent purchasers’ collections to find the coolest, weirdest, rarest, strangest, derangedest hunks of wax known to man, woman, child, beast or extraterrestrial. And the occasional Taylor Swift record for good measure, because Blackwell’s kids said so, dammit!
So hit play, get that clickin' finger or scrollin’ n’ tappin’ thumb warmed up, prime your mind for maximum tubular warpage and enjoy this informative, educational peek into the mind of a record-collecting madman.

NEW PLAYLIST ALERT!
Jan 25, 2021
Thanks, love this! Please keep it updated!
Thrilled to have received a Neil Young test pressing for suggesting the playlist!! Thanks so much TMR!! That will make up for the snafu when I attempted to purchase a test pressing but had problems with the payment/shipping step, then by the time I figured it out the test pressings were sold out.
Can’t remember the name of the song but there was a 20+ minute version done by The Dirt Bombs that was featured in record of the week last year sometime. You should add that one.
How did shake it off get on there??? Can we delete that one? lol
yay! finally! thank you for this! Please do more playlists, I beg you.
Great way to end the week and start the weekend. Cheers!
2+2 is on my mind
Thanks, Ben! Very cool!
Groovy! Thanks.
Super cool.
