And then what would I do for my Zombies fix? ☺

One I have not looked up on discogs.

I did look at The 13th Floor Elevators first, dream prices. I was looking because I remember when I bought it, they had the mono and stereo versions at Melody Shop in downtown Dallas. Rode the bus there. I picked the mono version because it was a dollar cheaper. Hey when you're 16, every dollar counts!

Man, your LPs look like they are all in PRISTINE CONDITION!

Been playing them since my first 1 gram tracking cartridge too, a Shure V15, which I broke off the cantilever, pled my case to Shure Brothers and they kindly sent a new V15-II, free. My aunt has something to do with it too. Went to see her up in Connecticut when I was 8, and she had an RCA mono console. I promptly picked up a 45 (think it was Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots) with my grubby little fingers all over it and she yells DON"T TOUCH THE GROOVES! I learned that lesson early. And, anyone I let handle my records got a lesson how to do it first.

Funny thing is, from day 1 (early 70's) I handled my dad's vinyl with care, even though he didn't. I'm really not sure how or why I did. But, glad I did.

Amazing! "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" is a fave. My dad had this album in college, but it has been lost for ages.
Later to change bass players (ex-Steppenwolf), record labels, and become "Demian" with a couple of the same songs make that one, "Todd's Tune", redone on the Demian record.

Is that the Pioneer PLX-500 turntable?
I just advised a friend who was looking for a 2nd TT to buy one of those. What do you think of it? It was that or an Audio Technica that looks like they were built in the same factory just different cosmetics. I preferred the black and silver of the Pioneer.

I also looked at a Technics that looks similar... $3 grand! Yikes!

Well, It’s a killer table. Very heavy.
 
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

A little worn on the jacket. You'd never know listening to the records.

Darn knees are getting sore getting up from turning over records! That's one advantage of CDs. This Electric Ladyland was made to play on a changer too. Has sides A and D on one record, B and C on the other.
