Spinning on the Turntable now...

[Blackwood]

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

I was visiting my mom in southern California when Trilogy was out. Had never heard of Malmsteen, but the Los Angeles area had great radio stations that leaned heavily into metal and hard rock that my local stations wouldn’t touch, KNAC being one I enjoyed a lot.

“I Don’t Remember” was the single they were playing at the time and I really liked it so that was my first Malmsteen album. A fantastic album!

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.

LOL, I am in the market for a reissue too. Mine has so many scratch, snaple, pops

Less than 8 minutes after hitting my front doorsteps to spinning

When one mentions Heart, most don't really think of experimentation. However, this plus the three tracks that were on the Greatest Hits album would be them at their most experimental, imo. Some good, some not so good. "Break" is awful, but this may be the last Heart album I really really like.

I'm in UK and when my local rock night started playing Yngwie it was when Trilogy came out. Bought that then went backwards. Saw him in concert on Odyssey Tour. It led me to a few years of guitarist album purchasing (MacAlpine, Gary Moore etc) which softened the grunge years. I gave up on rock/metal totally for 10yrs when I moved 100 miles away and had no fellow rockers nearby.

Then a work project with someone who lent me Muse then Porcupine Tree and it got me back into music. Very costly meeting.

Heard Raitt’s cover of Made Up Mind about a year ago and loved it. Last week I decided to get the album and it was perfect for this rainy, Sunday afternoon.

Music on Vinyl Jungle Green Belgian Press.

This will be in heavy rotation today

Anyone from the UK midlands will know Reddington's Rare Records.

Bought alot from there in the 80s hence the price sticker.

What a guitarist Gary was. I saw him on the Wild Frontier tour and it was unlike any concert I've ever been to. All stood there open mouthed at his talent. Sorely missed.

 

[Blackwood]

What a guitarist Gary was.

Great album. While he could shred with the best of them, his ability to write and play with such feeling set him apart from a lot of other players.

For every song like End of the World or Rockin’ Every Night, you had songs like I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow and Falling in Love With You. In fact, that last song is probably the highlight of the album for me. (Although the solo at the beginning of End of the World is a very close second.)

And yeah... sorely missed.

A bit of a session today.

Some of these didn't get worked too hard when I bought them. Taped and put away.

 

[gillette]

Another in decent nick.

Prob one of the later ones bought before CDs took over.

I’ll probably never know how close I might have come to being slapped with a restraining order after pestering the Planet Drum website to release the streaming-only Atmos version of this album on a disc or digital. I suggested SDE and IAA as possible outlets if they didn’t want to do it themselves. But not unlike Mickey Hart’s mothership (the Grateful Dead), he apparently has no interest in making extra bucks with surround discs. Songs like King Clave are Atmos demo quality and that’s the first song I put on for newcomers to Atmos.

That aside, when playing the vinyl cranked up in multi-channel stereo mode, you feel it... and it’s a good feeling.
