I Got 50 POUNDS of Vinyl In The Mail｜HUGE Vinyl Haul 

If you have never heard this before, only in the U.S. does the first Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) album has a title. Jeff Lynne in a documentary mentioned that the president of the U.S. record company gave a memo to his secretary to call over to England and get the name of the album. The secretary called but no one picked up the phone. So the secretary wrote “No Answer” at the bottom of the memo and set it back on the record company president’s desk. That’s why in America the first ELO album has a title.

Thank you, Abby, for the shout out, and I'm very happy and honored that you liked the albums that much. I never imagined in college when I saved "Zuma" from the radio station throw-away bin and doodled that cover onto the blank promo sleeve that it would mean so much to someone someday. It's been on my shelf all this time, and I've kept it in mint condition. I understand that early promo copies of that album are supposed to have the best sound available. I hope that one does. And don't worry, it was very easy for me to give to you because I know you'll appreciate it and take good care of it. Also, Laura's album is 180-gram virgin vinyl, so it should sound pretty good, too.

By the way, remember The Monkees' Fairy Tale episode where Mike plays the Princess and Peter allows her to walk across his back? One of the knights in that episode, the one that spoke with a loud gruff voice, was Murray Roman. He started out in the early `60's as a Borscht Belt comedian. His first album was entirely about a skiing trip he took at one time. It sounds like it was recorded on a tape recorder set up way in the back of the room and it was released on a low budget label called, Everest! His second and third albums were made in the late `60's and were psychedelic comedy! (He told funny stories and, between the stories as well as backing them, there was a lot of psychedelic music and sound effects playing throughout.) He was Keith Moon's fave comedian so, that's probably how one of those two albums ended up on Track Records! The other was on the label Bill Cosby started, Tetragrammaton. I don't remember which was which but, one was called, "A Blind Man's Movie". Except for the spine, the entire cover was completely black!! It was a gatefold cover. You open up the gatefold and the inside is completely black! Then, you notice there's actually an extra page glued into the gatefold and both sides of that are completely black! I THINK there's a word or two on the cover in Braille. The other album is called, "You Can't Beat Someone Up And Have Them Say, "I Love You"?". Anyway, there was a 4th album in the mid `70's right before Murray died (I'm pretty sure it was a car crash) and, it was called, "Busted". One side is nearly a half hour long semi-psych telling of his few months being thrown in jail on a drug bust. The other side is a sort of compilation of stuff from the previous 2 albums but, there's one bit on it that's not on either one. In the long list of credits he has on the album, Mike Nesmith is listed as one of the musicians on the album! There were also a few promotional singles pushing the album but, I've only been able to find two of them. I suspect there were quite a few more. Both of the ones I've got have a completely silent track on the flip side. Mike had nothing to do with those, as far as I know, they were just Murray talking and goofing around. The album and all of these singles were on United Artists. If you want a copy of, "Busted" let me know! I've got 5 of them! (They were 58 cents @, the store only had 5 in their deep-bargain bin so, I grabbed them all. Also, there was a psych band in the late `60's called, The Penny Arcade, who had an album of theirs produced by Mike! AND, about 20 years ago, Mike's son, Jason(?) put together his own psych band and I think they were called, The Orange Alabaster Mushroom. The only album I have of there's was called, "Octopus Sauce", I think. (I've been away from my records for the past 4 years so, memory wains slightly because none of my children have been here with me since then. I REALLY miss them but, the way things look, I'm gonna have to keep them in storage for another few years unless I can find a bigger place to live and it's gonna BE COMPLETELY MINE, FREE AND CLEAR!!! NO MORE of this fucking bullshit from greedy bastard relatives about how this person might object to me having it or that one CLAIMS to have dibs on it so, I can't live there!! At least not without a legal battle!!)

Hi Abigail…as a 22 year old girl who loves records, it’s so refreshing to watch your videos! Entertainment by Gang of 4 is one of my favorite records of all time, it’s full of bangers and a staple in the evolution of punk/post-punk. You should definitely give it a listen ASAP

Gang of Four - Entertainment is filled to the brim with tight bass-driven pop-punky bangers

I'll add to the chorus about that Gang of Four record. Andy Gill doesn't get enough credit for his revolutionary approach to playing guitar. And lyrically, there's so much there, about interpersonal relationships, consumerism, socioeconomics. I listen to it all the time, and the subject matter never seems dated.

I am Fact Man. Or was. Bought Abbey Road when it was knew, played in bands, had radio shows and made documentaries. Now your channel is where I come to learn. Cannot thank you enough for what you do, and sharing your huge heart in the process.

Now that’s a great delivery!

Wow this is so fabulously beautiful! Major props to the donor, great material, we’re really looking forward to all the upcoming Vinyl Mondays!

Heaven Up Here is an insane album, one of my faves.

Someone gave you ALL those albums...? Oh my! I think someone is in love... either with 60s music... or you, dear lady.

On the American version of Mr. Fantisy was this goofy psych tune called Hole In My Shoe. It was a single in the UK. I have never heard of the band. I had a CD called Psychedelia and Hole In My Shoe was on it. It is so wierd and goofy. The two faveorite songs off that T-Rex album is of course Get It On and Cosmic Dancer. I first heard the song at a bookstore called Borders. I'm not sure if you heard about it since you're the age of 23. I think they had played the whole album. That's when I heard of the song. That music on that video is far out! It definitly has that late 60's vibe. Groovey!

Yes, Abby, you need to revisit Spirit- Twelve Dreams Dr. Sardonicus. It is a masterpiece where all the songs run together and must be listened to in its entirety!

Shoutout to Pat for sending all those great records. There would have been a nice chunk of change to be made selling them, so donating them for the community to enjoy is a class act. And this is only one third of them?!?

Woohoo vinyl!

I'm not sure how much Stevie Wonder you have (other than Talking Book which you showed in this video) but if you want to increase your funk and soul - getting a collection of Stevie Wonder is a terrific place to start.

Omg you’ve got For Your Love !!🤍

Mahavishnu Orchestra, amazing stuff, great drumming

You need to do an episode on Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom. It's a masterpiece, and no one on RU-vid has really given it the treatment it deserves, and tbh vinyl Monday is the perfect format for it

I don't think anyone else has answered your question about sleeves with the corners cut off. That's one way that record labels used to mark promo copies of LPs. Sometimes you'll also see a hole punched out of the corner instead. It wasn't until a bit later that labels started using the promo stamps like on your copy of Unknown Pleasures.

What an amazing haul, T. Rex's The Slider is the greatest rock n' roll record of all time!!! Also love Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything, in association with Todd if you haven't heard Bebe Buell's Covers Girl EP it's a must, her cover of Tom Petty's "The Wild One, Forever" on it is completely epic, almost as epic as that copy of Neil Young's Zuma! I have a plain white jacket white label promo version of Led Zeppelin II before it had a cover so I completely understand the excitement!

Happy Birthday Abby

Blues and the Abstract Truth is beautiful. Also, you got the two best Mahavishnu Orchestra records. They will melt your brain.

The men who make up 100% of your subscribers will shower you with any kind of vinyl your heart desires. Facts. Over and out.

I'm gonna add everything in this video to my "Listen List". As if that list wasn't long enough already.

Imagine how many steps how many hours it would have taken for you to find this stuff. People can be so generous but maybe Abby they're seeing in you a sure thing guardian of these treasures. Well done to them. John Barleycorn a classic, I'm envious of anyone listening to Mahavishnu for the first time and John McLaughlin is a guitarist to be reckoned with ( grew up in my neck of the woods): Zuma well Zuma is Zuma. A lovely emotional thing to happen near the anniversary. This is the channel to be watching in 2023.

Yes 💪👍

Abimail!

For Steely Dan, try out The Royal Scam. It's their most rockin' album. Larry Carlton on guitars will make anyone a believer.

My favorite album out of the batch is Entertainment by Gang of Four.

Ive been binging your vids ever since i discovered your channel couple days ago

Second Winter is Johnny's second album (self-titled first) and it is very hyper blues MAHAVISHNU?!! When i saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra twice in 1972 they were the greatest band on Earth. I do Trower in my repertoire. Jeff Beck jammed with John McLaughlin (Maha...) in Santa Monica in 1972 and I was there. So folk send you the greatest albums ever? I'm living wrong.

Been QUITE a year - thank you Abby !!! 🥳

Listen to that Santana record. Its like a sister album to Abraxis.

Cassandra Gemini Devoe. What a spectacular album haul. Me, I have to STOP buying albums what with grownup stuff like bills and food. I'm not popular enough to get free stuff so I guess I have to make do with my 1500 or so albums. Oh man there's nothing to listen to. Anyhow, spectacular. Top drawer. BTW what's wrong with Carl & The Passions? I like A Pillow Of Winds better than Echoes. And thanks for the plug. I haven't really warmed up to Steely Dan.

Abigail, you just popped up on my feed, good vibes, love it ☮️

Trower bridge of sighs and Traffic when the eagle flies Good listening together

The debut album for Electric Light Orchestra , with Roy Wood as the leader and main musician was actually a self-titled album. It was on Harvest in the U.K., but when the master copies were sent to United Artists headquarters the director of U.A. wanted to know the title of the album. His secretary called the band's manager to request the title, but they never answered the phone call, so the secretary simply wrote "no answer" to the result from the phone call. The U.A. director assumed that the name of the album was "No Answer", so that's why it has been called that fictitious name since it was released in 1971.

"When will you Happen to me?"is one of the songs on Poppies. You just reminded me of that phrase....😃

My absolute favorite YT video is Neil Young goes record shopping & .. finds a bootleg of his ! ✅️ it out 😊 .. Congratulations on the records 😎

An experienced old guy, veteran vinylphile and professional audio gear designer has ONE BIG piece of advice regarding used records: Not to be a buzz killer, but…… ALWAYS sniff test inside all used album covers, and look for *any* signs of mold on the record or associated with the LP cover and/or sleeve. No matter how good otherwise, always reject *any* albums with the *slightest* hind of mold. You’ll never be able to get the spores out of paper or cardboard -it’s just the way it is. Either from the album cover, or the LP itself, you’ll never get rid of the fungus from the cardboard and paper, and mold spores can literally stay dormant for years until humidity causes it to start growing again. And…. once you either put a moldy album in with your other your LPs, or play a moldy record on your turntable, the invisible spores will just spread to your other albums. Dirt and fingerprints are no big deal, scratches and dings are usually no big deal -but mold is the deal breaker, the potential killer of your vinyl collection. Advice: don’t accept mold-smelly or visibly affected albums, NO MATTER HOW COOL IT IS. Don’t bother to try and wash a moldy disc, the LP cover will just re-contaminate it. If someone brings a moldy LP into your digs, absolutely DO NOT handle it, do not play it, do not get it anywhere near your other records,. Take it straight to the trash, drop it in, take a sigh, then immediately wash your hands-then forget about it. Same goes with any LPs stored next to/adjacent/ together with a known moldy record. I’ve been down this road several times. People often haplessly give you the old records they stored improperly in damp environments, everything has mold in it. Be careful, be wise, be consistent. Protect all the good records in your collection from the stealth moldy buzz killers. You will thank me. Good luck and have fun!

Glad I found this site so Subscribed Thank You

Mahavishnu Orchestra is amazing! Essential fusion group! And you have their 2 best records right there.

Your "Mr. Fantasy" has the British cover. We used to do, "Sweet Jane". I'm pretty sure I've got all the Canned Heat albums and only just started buying them about 30 years ago. There's even a Christmas single the did with one of their own songs on the B-side, I think it's called, "Christmas Blues". The A-side is them doing a song with The Chipmunks!! My neighbor (also a big collector with about 36,000 records) says that record's not supposed to exist but, I've already seen 2 or 3 copies. As for their newer albums, I only have the mini-album they did in the late `70's/early `80's. In 6 days, I'm gonna be listening to their entire Woodstock gig on the anniversary!! Tightly Knit: get the joke on the cover? A sock in the mouth. Pretty sure that was a Hypgnosis cover, possibly a leftover from the cover of the Pink Floyd album, "A Nice Pair" (Try to find THAT without the stickers covering the nude shots!!) There's a few photographic jokes on that cover, too. I've seen their (CBB) stuff around a lot but, never bought any of them. The quad version of, "Tubular Bells" (or, at least the British picture disc version) has extra stuff at the end that's not on the original stereo so, it runs a few minutes longer. There were two Traffic albums that were cut that way, they're supposed to look like a cube instead of a flat cover. Take a good look at it and you'll see. The Motors did an album cut like that, too, in the late `70's, "Tenement Steps". It was their 3rd and last album. Bran Tchaikovsky quite around that time and had a number of cool solo albums. And, Todd Rundgren did one with all 4 corners cut but each was a completely different shape. There was also a Grand Funk Railroad album that was cut round, like a huge coin, and a Small Faces album cut the same way to look like a huge tin of snuff. Did you know that the original British white album was a top loader? Instead of pulling the records out from the side, you pulled them out of the top of the cover! "L. A. Woman" had rounded corners and two corners on the "School's Out" album had rounded corners to look like an old-fashioned school desk, which the cover opened and folded out to be! "Slider" was on Reprise. "Ride A White Swan" would've been on Blue Thumb. In England, it MIGHT'VE been on Fly. I have 2 very early T. Rex albums on Fly. British import, probably re-issues. At that point, he was more like a cross between Donovan and Syd Barret. Why didn't you cover all the tits on, "Abraxas"? "Dr. Sardonicus" was their best album! However, not long after that, when they switched to Mercury, they got REALLY psychedelic for a few albums. Everyone keeps telling me their first 4 albums were great psych records but, I just don't hear it!1 They mostly sound like jazz rock, to me! There's only one or two psych tracks on Sardionicus. I often wonder if they were referring to the horror old movie, "Mr. Sardonicus". Randy Newman's dad (Or was it his uncle?), Lionel Newman did a lot of orchestral hit singles on ABC-Paramount back in the late `50's and early `60's. We used to do, "Superstition". The first two War albums were fronted by Eric Burdon. I'm a good drummer! I still get praises from my fans 18 years after we broke up! Bumped into a fan 3 weeks ago and he was thrilled to meet me! Seems to me it was "Tonight's The Night" that I bought at a porch sale about 40 years ago and there was a booklet inside on how to make LSD with marigold seeds! I have no idea if that originally came with the album. One night, we played a gig in Erie and, immediately after the show, we were driven over to Cleveland where our new label, Smog Veil, was stationed because we were supposed to play at an E.P. release party at the Agoora (Todd Rundgren plays there a lot) the next afternoon so, we slept at the apartment of the couple that owns the label and one of them decided to regale us with the new Neil Young album. I have no idea what it was called but, it was a live album and, for at least 45:00, he just played nothing but feedback and distortion! Maybe that's where Acid Mother Temple got the idea for all of their albums of nothing but noise. We used to do, "Do It Again" and, I think, one other Steely Dan album. Except for 3 or 4 songs, I really can't see what all the fuss is about! How nice that people just send you crates of albums!! wish someone would do that for me! Love to get huge loads of 45's and 78's, too!

I'd like to suggest looking into getting a blues album 'Muddy & The Wolf" it features Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf with guest musicians from Chicago and London, and was recorded in sessions during the early 1970's. The guest musicians are several members of the Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton, as well as a few others. It's a fun album, because it was when Muddy and Howlin' Wolf were at the peak of their fame with the younger rock musicians who idolised them. Also look for the Muddy Waters album "Hard Again", featuring Johnny Winter on lead guitar and back-up vocals with Muddy's band and James Cotton on harmonica. Johnny Winter produced the album, and it's an absolute delight.

Hi Abigail..!! Thanks for the shout out to Horizon Records in GVL, SC. I live in GVL and I go to Horizons very often...Great Place and great staff! Did your sister graduate from Furman? Well, I love your videos, you are more well informed about the bands you discuss than most people on YT., esp. regarding The Beatles. Since you seem to like psych music from the late 60's, there is an album you may like. It came out on RSD 2018, or 2019, called The Poppies. It's a sampling of songs from that era, mostly of bands nobody had heard of, sort of one hit wonders or bands that failed to make it past the demo stage. Any-hoo, I bet you'd like it. Keep up the great work..!!!

What an awesome stack of albums! What a generous gift 👍👍

I heard you say that Danny Kirwan is on your short list of favorite guitarists. I love you!! Danny is one of my unsung heroes!!

I got that SMILE bootleg in 1983! It was part of a 3 LP series. SMILE, Landlocked, and Made In The U.S.A. I later got it autographed by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson in 2000. We met Van Dyke in Arkansas where he gave a fantastic concert at a beautiful private college outside of Little Rock.

The Traffic album prior to Shootout was The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, which had the same corners clipped, though that might have been part of the cover art's optical illusion. It was their most successful album in the U.S., so maybe they thought cutting corners was a major part of that formula. Shootout wasn't quite as successful, so they reverted to the standard format for all subsequent albums before disbanding. Other odd-shaped album covers include the Rolling Stones' second greatest hits collection titled Through the Past Darkly, which had all of the corners clipped, making it the shape of a hexagon, and Grand Funk Railroad's E Pluribus Funk, with a round cover shaped like a large silver coin. The Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper ep Get Out Of My Way! was sold in a thick plastic sleeve that deteriorated over the years.

Steve Millers Sailor album includes Boz Scaggs in the band.

You got some real gems there! The Yardbirds and the BEANO ….Your channel is great and your presentation and personality is the big attraction❤️.

Those are some gifts you have there, Abigail. I have all those Traffic albums- some original pressings. 'John Barleycorn' you can never have too many of! 'The Blues & the Abstract Truth' is a divine album. J.J Johnson did a version of Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson on his album 'J.J!'. Another great jazz album.

Abby.... Get the 5 CD box set: Songs For Groovy Children... It is the entire set for the Band of Gypsy's at the Filmore East, all shows... Fantastic stuff...

I listened to the Bad Spell and thought, man this really sounds like The Forty Fives! Sure enough, same lead singer!

Abby, I probably don’t have to tell you this, in a sense I’m preaching to the choir, but as you grow your collection no matter how that happens, be aware of the weight of many record albums put together, especially as you may need to shift and move portions of the collection. There is a thing called “record collector’s back”, and if you want to hear many painful stories of it, just visit a record swap and talk to some of the table dealers. In short, NEVER try to pick up more than your body can handle. Vinyl is wonderful, full stop. But when it comes to shifting and moving them, WATCH YOUR BACK! Pain is no fun, sweetie! That being said, enjoy your haul. Obviously you have many more vinyl Mondays in the making!❤

I'm with ya on Steely Dan.

Wow! What a treasure of albums you got! Congratulations on your 1st Anniversary of your channel. I love your presentations and look forward to your vinyl Mondays every week.

Amazing items you got there! Wish you a happy anniversary and happy collecting!

Congrats on one year of this awesome channel and those amazing boxes of records.

WowWowWow, what a cavalcade of classic albums ! That Todd album! Those Traffic albums! I don't think I saw Low Spark, but maybe you have it already. Along with Charles Mingus's "Self Portrait in Three Colors" the track "Stolen Moments" from 'Blues and the Abstract Truth' is one of the most beautiful jazz recordings ever. Enjoy !

If you like John Mayall, you'll probably like Climax Blues Band.

I've just discovered your channel and loved the video. I'm in awe of your musical knowledge. I was particularly glad to see T-Rex in the box of records. I've been a fan of their's since 1971, when I had a mega crush on Marc Bolan. The Slider is a brilliant album. Rabbit Fighter is a great track along with Ballrooms of Mars and Baby Boomerang. Electric Warrior is my favourite of T.Rexs albums though.

Your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the great work.

That is an absolute treasure trove!! Congratulations! 😁👍🏻

happy 1 year channel anniversary Abby! glad to have been here since the vinyl collection videos! a Something/Anything VM would be amazing!

Happy anniversary, Abby. You’ve changed my life for the better.

I have 29 of those albums in my 4,000 + collection. I'm 69 and been at it for 60 years now, Your doing great. Jim

Hi Abigail. I've been watching your videos for a while now and I totally dig your vibe . Btw, awesome score. There were literally some gems that I can't imagine how it would feel to part with them, like you said referring to the Zuma release. I can truly say that the love that you give is the love that you get. Your videos are a reflection of your love for vinyl and the videos you produce, therefore you got the love back when you were gifted these boxes of vinyl. KIU (keep it up).

Hi Abby. Early Steve Miller is great. "Children of The Future" is a great debut LP. Boz Skaggs was a member for a bit.

Wow, nice bunch of records! Lucky You!

John Mayall made an album called the Blues Alone that is oddly quite good, in the late sixties. I child-cared his kid back in the nineties (Maggie). I saw the Bluesbreakers in 1969, Mick Taylor on guitar, they tore the roof offa da sucka. Albert King and Deep Purple were there, as well. Mick was heavily inspired to pull all of the stops on Parchman Farm and we took a little trip. For some reason I remember the song Little Bird. Somebody has that Les Paul, and it weighs like 20 pounds so they can keep it. My Epi SG weighs 4 pounds, total.

Wow, those are some excellent albums. What a haul!!!

Congrats on 1 year!!! 🎉

im geeking out that you went to greenville. horizon records is where i get most of my vinyl lol.

Zuma is the name of the beach near Neil's old house in Topanga Canyon. It's right next to the last scenes in Planet of the Apes. Zuma is used in about ten thousand t.v. shows and movies, right up to Old by that guy Shama-lama-ding-dong.

Play the heck out that Gang of Four! Keep on Chooglin!

Wow, what a cache. At this rate you’ll soon have more music than time to listen. Looks good on you. Glad to see a girl happy in her work. If you can be compensated for doing what you enjoy, it’s better than winning a lottery. Oh, by the way if you are ever feeling down and blue and want to be even more depressed, just listen to Berlin. Really great album through and through, but also probably one of the most down of any I know.

Hooray

i love your videos! 💞

WHUT?? Lucky! That is a fine collection of titles. That Oliver Nelson is his best album IMO. PS That Zuma, wow.

i always say Yes to Yes!

A little late to the party, but yeah Gang of Four!!! Awesome record, love that deconstructed jagged guitar playing, and Anthrax is an incredible song. Also, I've been subjected to Steely Dan since the mid-70s--I remember seeing TV ads for Aja when it was released--and I've NEVER liked them aside from a couple songs from Pretzel Logic. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I hate them. Don't feel bad about not warming up to them, remember you never have to like something just b/c everyone else likes them. :D

Congratulations on one year, love your channel.

Inner Mountain Flame is awesome. Found them in high school when I was obsessed with The Mars Volta and Omar Rodríguez López

Score! Several lps I wish I had in my collection. Congrats!

Cool 👏🏻

Please, please, please, Lovely Lady, cover a Guess Who album. Ideally Wheatfield Soul/|Share The Land/So Long Bannatyne. American Woman is a fair second choice (I like all GW albums and Burton Cummings solo stuff too), so would love to hear your views.

Steely Dan albums take like 3 spins before they become great but then it’s impossible to stop listening.

Eric has great taste and that’s an amazing collection he gave you. The highlights super eclectic records, ‘Spirit” “Seven Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus”. “Hendrix Cry of Love” is more or less Hendrix last studio album. you could also consider “Rainbow Bridge” soundtrack to be from the same sessions another studio album. Johnny Winner “Second Winner’. is his best most smoking( three sided vinyl) album. “The Mahavishnu Orchestra” both those records are just the jazz fusion progressive Rock masterpieces. “Steve Miller” “Sailor” is my favorite Steve Miller album, a real hidden gem “Santana Three” is the third album of the original “Santana band”, which I’d like better than one and “Abraxis”. I agree with you “Echoes” is my favorite “Pink Floyd” song. Eric really took care of you.

3 bands that are just off the charts you just gotta check out are Kelly Finnigan and his group Monophonics, next would be Thee Sacred Souls, and finally Les Imprimés from Norway. All these people are modern groups but they sound very 60's 70'ish soul gotta check it out

Happy 1 year anniversary. I enjoy seeing your videos, and like your passion for music and music history. I’m Gen Z myself but generally prefer a lot of older music compared to todays stuff. You got some really great albums in that shipment, so much underrated stuff too. If you haven’t yet listened to it, John Barleycorn Must Die by Traffic is a really great album, it might be one of my favorite albums in general. Guess Who is totally underrated, really love their stuff, but I can never find vinyl of them that easily. I got my grandpa Band of Gypsys on vinyl for his birthday a few years ago and he loved it.

Those are some amazing albums and will surely give you many years of listening. Catch a Fire is one of Bob Marley's best, along with the next one he made, Burning, that had I Shot the Sheriff.

Those additions are lights out. The "For Your Love" album is not easy to find cheap and that promo copy of "Zuma" is awesome! A few more additions like this and you'll need a forklift to manage your LPs. Whew!

BLT like being stuck at a railway crossing with Lordans cymbals

One happy and lucky Abby! So much fantastic music to explore. For Your Love was my first Yardbirds album. Clapton quit because he thought they were headed in a pop direction. Dear Mr. Fantasy 'n John Barleycorn are amazin'. Cry Of Love was the first album after Jimi's death with great unreleased material. The Last Waltz is perhaps the greatest concert film. I passed on a free ride 'n ticket to the concert 'n didn't know what I missed until after the fact. Golden Hair is my fave Barrett track. Second Winter is so great. New York City Serenade is my favorite Springsteen song. Steve Miller Band-Sailor (2nd album) is absolutely a classic! You mentioned Roy Buchanan-Treat Her Nice is a must hear! Hours 'n hours o' vinyl thrills in your near future...All best wishes.

Happy anniversary..Wow! I’m so jealous of that haul ..magnificent. ..ECHOES IS THE BEST PINK FLOYD SONG!!!! by the way .Santana III is absolutely fantastic ,you will love it .

Fantastic additions to the collection! Them Changes is such a great album and I think Zuma may be my favourite Neil album, so that's an amazing copy to own!

Cosmo is on the bike

Mahavishnu Orchestra will blow your mind. John McLaughlin is amazing 😊
