Beck Odelay 10th Anniversary 4 LP Vinyl

$

150

The 10th Anniversary 4 disc 180 gram Vinyl. Ex condition Quad gatefold and no marks on the vinyl that I see. I only listened to it once. Insert is brilliant, art and lyrics along with interview scripts of kids who have no idea who Beck is…reminder what a decade really means and how brilliant and long lasting these tunes really are! Money Mark, Dust Brothers, Charlie Haden, Remixes by Aphex Twin, U.N.K.L.E. etc. If you are appreciate Beck, and like vinyl, these 8 sides of audiophile records are essential. Beck lp records just continue to go up in price. 
Album Notes
Personnel: Beck Hansen (vocals, acoustic, slide & electric guitars, harmonica, electric piano, celeste, Clavinet, organ, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion); Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar); David Brown (saxophone); Mike Boito (trumpet, organ); Charlie Haden (acoustic bass); Joey Waronker (drums, percussion); Ross Harris.
Producers: Beck Hansen, The Dust Brothers, Mario Caldato Jr., Brian Paulson, Tom Rothrock.

Like a mosaic, all the details add up to a picture greater than its parts, so while some of Beck's best songs are here, Odelay is best appreciated as a recorded whole, with each layered sample enhancing the allusion that came before.

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...[crams] his encyclopedic knowledge of 20th century musical styles into three- and four-minute nuggets of pure pop....while Beck may appear to be flip in his no-holds-barred approach to music, no other contemporary artist...comes close to his ambitious sense of adventure...
Rolling Stone (06/13/1996)

10 (out of 10) - ...Just as Dylan created an entire universe around his helplessly strange vocal instrument, Beck uses sound and imagery to turn his congested yelp into the voice of a prophet....It's a beautiful thing.
Spin (07/01/1996)

...ODELAY is intoxicating, proving Beck to be one of the era's more inventive songwriters. His observations are as catchy as his...songs....ODELAY is largely upbeat, even punk, but occasionally Beck reveals a sad soul under his clown's mask...
Musician (09/01/1996)

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...A more ambitious individual probably couldn't have made an album as relaxed, funky, stylish and left-of-center as ODELAY....the album...mooches attractively between country, folk and hip-hop...
Q (08/01/1996)

...Beck has enlisted the Dust Brothers, the producers responsible for...the Beastie Boys' seminal PAUL'S BOUTIQUE. The result: a pastiche of twangy country licks, hip-hop beats, surrealistic folk, jive-turkey rap, and samples...that further affirms Beck's rock-chameleon identity... - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (06/21/1996)

...Beck goes Hollywood....Drums pounce with blunted park-jam finesse. Turntable-scratched hooks pan whimsically throughout....a more sophisticated Beck relays his own introspective emotions...
Vibe (09/01/1996)

...a brilliant kaleidoscope....a lazy, cruising groove....a sprawling, confident album....Nothing sounds out of place in Beck's world...
Option (07/01/1996)

Ranked #27 in Rolling Stone's 50 Coolest Records.
Rolling Stone (04/11/2002)

Ranked #10 in Mojo's 100 Modern Classics -- Even better than ODELAY's crazy-quilt sampling...was the dazzling songwriting.
Mojo 

8 (out of 10) - ...[Beck] plunges into the deep foreboding lake of received musical wisdom....All around is madness. Beck takes the thinking man's solution and makes music to make sense of it ...
NME 

4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t was skeetering, excited, a grab bag of ideas.
Mojo 

4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's a definition of '90s pop....ODELAY is as cannibalistic as a Tarantino movie: a riot of decontextualised pop-cultural detritus.
Q 

5 stars out of 5 -- A '90s cultural landmark....Beck's freakfolk freestyle yields some solid gold nuggets among the jive.
Uncut 

4.5 out of 5 stars -- This splatter painting of breakbeats, electric blues, garage-style kitsch, and Dada versifying still sounds fresh...
Spin 

5 stars out of 5 -- [F]or Odelay, he hooked up with the Dust Brothers to play around with punk, hip-hop, acoustic folk, bossa nova, Latin soul, mainstream R&B and line-dance country -- there's as much Babyface as Bob Dylan on this record...
