Happy Belated Birthday Robert! You got yourself a nice birthday gift indeed The other good thing of them being stored in AZ is you won't find any mold on any of them... ;-)
Wow, that shirt brings back great memories. Once a month my father, who was an audiophile, take me with him to Peaches to buy an album. That's where I bought The Wall when it was released. Too cool.
It's a wonderful feeling when you get given a load of old records, the excitement of looking through them for the first time to see what you have been given, such a thrill.
I picked up that dark side of the moon, styx - pieces of eight, and zz top - el loco from your sale last week. Neat to see the story of how you got them!
And another link is Surrealistic Pillow. Apparently, Garcia is playing that guitar lick on "Today" on that album. And you showed a Dead Album obviously but also the Purple Sage thing too
I love that White Mansions record. It's Waylon Jennings and Jesse Colter and a few others in a sort of concept album. It's similar to The Legend Of Jesse James one that Levon Helm and Johnny Cash did. Good stuff.
My rule on purchasing records is why am I buying them. If for me the more I Will spend. If for my booth I can’t pay more than $2 if I want to break even. I Haven’t started doing online sales (yet) and not sure I want to put the effort In. Probably need to since I can’t stop buying vinyl
Funny, my record collection began in nineteen eighty-something -- but none of what you mentioned or showed in this video is in my record collection (although some of them have been -- I just carefully curate my record collection, and have since I started collecting).
I have 39 Jim Reeves records, 4 CDs, and 1 7". He deserves better than being a mailer protector. By the way, Aja is still the greatest record of all time.
Merry Xmas Robert. What a fantastic deal, with many excellent albums. However, you mocked the Whipped Cream lp by Herb Alpert. That is a VERY rare lp. If you traveled through our solar system, planet earth is the only place where you could find this lp !!!
@@RobertFithen Yeah, I still have the booklet. Seems like there may have been posters too. I'm not sure. They included posters with some of their early albums, but they are all in a box now, not sure what came with what.
Probably not the first here to add this, but that is most likely the first version of Zep II that they cut to replace the RL when they had to pull the RL because it was making needles jump. According to Ludwig himself, it was cut from a cassette! I have heard a Presswell copy from the same time. Yes, that immediate recut is TERRIBLE. And I went in intending to give it a fair shot, assuming the horror stories were all exaggerated. They were not. Apparently the later George Piros cut is an under-the-radar gem, though. Happy Birthday indeed!
I have a Piros pressing. It's pretty good, but I bet there's better out there. I just couldn't believe how bad this Monarch pressing sounded. I can definitely believe that it's from a cassette.
My wife took me to lunch yesterday and I thought of you, Robert. Why you ask? They had Steely Dan on - the whole time we were there. 1 hour. 1 hour or Steely Dan. It was painful.
@RobertFithen They're definitely linked. I listened to a podcast about the Dead last year and there was a segment on them, but I can't remember the exact details
You know I was actually dying to know if it was a 1st press of Jefferson Airplane. I realize you were being sarcastic but I am nosey and nerdy in equal measure.
We have so much in common, i don't care for Steely Dan either and i enjoy letting everyone know about it, i also think Love Forever changes is really overrated, i prefer their other stuff
