Total wacko (who isn't?), but maaaaaan what a voice. Truly captivating. I lose myself in the pain of some of her songs.
Love all 3 of the first Love LPs, Forever Changes being the best. Supposedly Burt Bacharach didn't sppreciate their take on Little Red Book, I orefer Manfred Mann's personally. Paul Jones had/has a great voice.
Dug Simone's rendition of "Wild is the Wind" so much that i headed to the basement to retrieve the very first version of the song i ever heard:
Bowie certainly owes a debt to Simone! Keep spinning, comrades!
My second favorite Bowie album (The Man Who Sold the World is 1st)! Love it!
Test pressing of Pavlov's Dog's second and final album of that era.
Man, i was crushed when We lost Prince. Two of the greatest shows i EVER saw were Prince (9 December 1982 and 24 April 1998). One of my students seemed equally devastated–he had just gotten into Prince about a year earlier and was working on being a multi-instrumentalist himself. Any hoo, he was so despondent for about a week that i brought in my vinyl of Purple Rain and gave it to him. You'd have thought i gave him a kidney! He was so touched. It was worth it. Well, now that i'm spinnin' again, i just had to get a replacement! Purple Reign!
More wax from the basement! My favo(u)rite soul record . . . one of my all-time favs regardless of genre!
Houston, We have a problem . . . iconic Chicago record store Dave's is closing on Sunday. I just heard about it and drove down there today . . .
So, what's the problem, you might be wondering. Well, here's what i came home with:
Everything 50%off!

Amazing catch!
Another excavation from the basement. I can always find 3 minutes and 18 seconds to give this masterpiece a listen . . . again!

I spent lots of time and money at Dave's over the years. It was previously a local chain 2nd Hand Tunes. Dave was Manager for them and is a great guy.
I have a sealed Full Sail SQ I bought from him before the SACD was released. I was anticipating a new TT purchase. VPI will have to wait. I also have an open SQ and Q8 of this. GET THE QUAD SACD.
Additional posts related to Dave's in Chicago or other Record Stores gone should be posted in this thread. We welcome Clement's comments in this thread, too:

When i stayed at Addison & Halsted, back in the daze, i often dropped my dough @ 2nd Hand Tunes. I had long since moved to the burbs and gone digital by the time the store became Dave's. I'll mos' def' record some record store memories . . . in the not-too-distant future! For now, i'm riding the groove of black matter–when i returned Joy Division to the basement, i emerged with this beauty! Hoo boy, definitely got a contact high when i pulled it off the shelf! And as soon as the needle dropped, i had a flashback . . . or three! Armadill-ill-ill-ill-ill-illo-o-o-o-o! . . . Chemical change–like a laser beam! . . . But somehow, it all falls apart . . .

I'm a baaaad boy . . . a maaaal man! Two of the records i scored yesterday skipped, so i headed down to Dave's on the antepenultimate day of its existence. Spent a long time talking to Dave and browsing the stacks again.
I'll be honest, comrades, i'm feeling a tad trapped–encircled by my recently resurrected vinyl addiction!
Any hoo, Dave graciously refunded my money . . . and i gave it right back! Look what i came home with:
Well, at least i only bought a dozen today . . . though two are box sets . . . @GOS – lower right is for you! Well, not for you–because of you! Dave was sold out of Seger–I did look to buy that for you!
