Just…killer!!!
I see now what I was doing wrong. I was searching on Amazon and elsewhere for "Band of Gypsys Extended". Don't come up with much that way. Thanks again for the tip. Amazon has the Groovy Children 5 CD set on sale!
1972 US Promo
The fold-out newpaper is a TRIP. lol
So glad I've caught the LP bug. You really get a unique connection to the music,
Yep. The only thing that concerns me is fumbling. I dropped a tray of Red Yucca plants I started from seeds yesterday. Glad it wasn't a prized mint condition LP!
Let just say, for undisclosed reasons, that I stopped spinning vinyl at a certain point last night.
Didn't want to "fumble" any prized records!
XTC - English Settlement
Enegren - The Lightest One 
Up next is everyone’s favorite.
Enegren - Lagertha (The Hoppy Pilsner Girl)
Dance Lil’ Sister! Dance!

Christamighty, bruthuh!!!
Much akin to Sgt Pepper's and Pet Sounds, to my ears.
Cool album!
IMHO, Monkees' best
Friday Music Reissue. My absolute favorite Beck album.
Fun fact: He was highly influenced by Tommy Bolin's appearance on BIlly Cobham's Spectrum and Alphonse Mouzon's Mind Transplant, which led him down the fusion road for this and his next album.
I stupidly got rid of that Monkees album when a teen because I thought I was too cool to be listening to Monkees music.....
The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark
A&M records
My beat up thrift store find from years ago of this great album
With all the record damage clicks pops etc it really sounds wonderful and in synthesized surround.
Great banjo playing.

Felt like spinning again one of the greatest albums EVER...never get tired of it...and , man, THE SONICS!!!
This Wally pressing is outta this world...and of course it did NOT hurt that the basic was recorded on 8 track (or was it 12?) 1inch tape giving each instrument a super highway to fly on....
Huge bonus is the HUMUNGOUS poster with the full cover artwork in 35" x 28", don't care that it's folded...I know that this alone will be worth plenty beacoup bucks... have never seen it listed and the DLB ones I have seen in really bad shape have sold for for .. well, A LOT!
And , oh , I don't think I will ever have any other stylus than these Ortofon Industry Standard carts and stylii... I MIGHT upgrade to the OM40...
Cheers!

And, as in usual fashion; a 180º...
Gotta throw my subconscious off somehow and keep me on my toes!
Just had a ..."MIND...BLOWN" moment when cleaning this next one...
It's a 99 cent wonder from the Salvation Army Store, you know, one of those that was played to death or seldom, if ever...
It was quite clean and for some "oh, what the hell, I am sure it won't be...", so I checked and...
IT'S PRESSED ON TRANSLUCENT GREY VINYL!!!
Yes, THIS pressing is an "Audiophile quality" pressing--well, whaddayaknow???
Notice that it's a "Book of the Month Club" pressing, and according to whoever put this in "ThisCogs", it was released in 1975...and I scratched my head even FURTHER...let's see... the "earliest" translucent pressing is from .. MFSL in the late 70's????...
oh shite, I may have opened another can of worms...cause from what I recall London records did not release any translucent vinyl LPs ever, so this may be because it's a Book of the Month pressing...THEY HAD THAT MUCH MONEY????
Well, anybody care to elucidate????
AAMOF , I will open a new thread regarding the earliest translucent vinyl (audiophile?) pressing so this does not derail...
Ta, ta!
EDIT: oh, goodness, call me excitable...while flipping it over I noticed the deadwax and on side A it had an engraved "12/81" among other things and on side B it had "12/85"(!!!!) so I guess that takes care of the mystery and totally explains it...it's still quite strange because the usual colors for these translucent discs are either brown (MFSL) or some kind of purple (A&M), and this is grey...
