My morning tunes before hitting the gym, trying to keep the old man out!

Heading out to see Cymande live a week from today. Never too early to lay down a foundation!

Mid-80s pressing. Sounds wonderful, except for the nasty pop during "Going to California".

Recommended highly, if on a budget

 

[Bruce00]

I cleaned off the dust, only to find this unplayable with too many pops, crackle, skipping, becoming stuck and repeating. Not to mention a rather large hump. This is the first album that has been unplayable out of all my albums awaking after a 50 yr slumber

Hurt throwing this into garbage

So I switched gears and am enjoying a rainy morning with......

After more digging, I pulled out this gem

Even being "hearing challenged", I played side 2, back to back for twice the enjoyment

How interesting... I just ordered that LP an hour ago. Except for a best-of CD, I’ve never owned any of Al’s solo albums.

But I was buying an SACD from Acoustic Sounds this morning (Bad Company, Straight Shooter in their Atlantic 75 series) and wanted to bump up the price to get free shipping. So I got this one by Al and the first Allman Brothers album on vinyl.

(And I’m ignoring the fact that if I had just stuck to the SACD and paid shipping, it would have been cheaper than what I spent to get free shipping.)

I listened to this album all morning thru Apple music. Liked it so much, I just ordered my own copy. Not like your limited edition, just a plain ole great sounding black vinyl

To me, One Nation Under A Groove is the best funk song ever.

Playing this one for Mom. She was quite the BJ fanatic back in the day. Saw him in concert twice on The Stranger tour and 52nd Street tour.

Well, it took me 46 years to discover Strangers In The Night, so I look forward to listening!

I was 15 sat on a wall with my two mates listening to music on a portable tape deck. I had discovered ELO from them but they kept trying me with hard rock. As we go to go home I asked to borrow the two tapes.

Kiss Alive and Strangers In The Night. Initially Kiss hooked me but then Schenkers guitar started to talk to me. 45yrs later I spent my 60th birthday sat on a balcony watching the sea with Rock Bottom on repeat.

I didn't know as a teenager that that night would be life changing...no life defining.

This got a reissue last month. His last regular studio album I liked start to finish. As time went on, it was feeling like he was giving us the same album over and over. By the turn of the century, I had bailed out.

I agree, that's the last good one. Hmmm or is it really Trilogy

 

[gillette]

So about 5yrs ago I gave my nephew some records. I was then thinking of giving them all to him. Now I've bought a turntable and am back in the game.... hmmm...can I ask for them back?
I bet he doesn't listen to them.

I did the same thing for my Goddaughter. She had discovered the Beatles, and i gifted her ALL of my Beatles slabs (among many, many others). She could have sold them for tuition!

Absolutely revelatory! The Last Poets backed by Tony Allen and Egypt 80–DAYUM! NEXT LEVEL!!

My original vinyl copy of that literally got worn out. I mean, the grooves literally wore down. Of course, playing on my dad's cheapo Zenith console with a $1 needle probably didn't help any.
