Love rescuing these neglected treasures! |
Chinese Eyes ... Pete Townsend.
Tomic
Yea, I get brutal with a first scrub with the $1 buys before rinsing and cleaning again.
Works well enough for me. |
@slaw .
Spinning The Voyager right now.
Previous was On The Line.
Just love Jenny Lewis.
Probably spin Rilo Kiley next.
Btw the bass on On The Line just rocks in my system, not muddy or one note at all. |
|
@slaw
You are on a roll tonight sir!
Some of my favourite female vocalists you have been spinning.
Such a criminal waste of talent with Dolores though.... So sad! |
Do ANY of you guys actually sleep?
Or is it Zombie High revisited!
Lmao
|
@slaw
Makes perfect sense and I really was just kidding.
Weekend afternoon are never good for me as the better half always wants/ needs attention and honeydew list completing.
And as I get older my ability to stay alive past 11pm nowadays is seriously in peril!
Even though I too sleep for sugar I just end up falling asleep on the sofa, very sad!
😭😭😭 |
|
Head over Heels .... Poco |
Down on the Farm .... Little Feat.
Second system via Technics Sl10 plus Azden cart... Sounding sweet! |

Very impressed.
|

@slaw .
Huge Nugent fan.
Caught him live Hammersmith Odeon, London back in 76 or 77.
It was Gonzo tour I think, I know he took the stage in just loincloth.
About halfway through he yelled , " what song is it you want to hear".
One solitary voice screamed .....
" Great white Buffalo!".
Yep that was me..... |
Just scored a bunch of $1 vinyl in the most unlikely place. A junk shop in Virginia City, Nevada. On vacation in Reno.
What makes these a standout apart from being in such an odd locale is the state of these records.
Unless my eyes are sadly mistaken they are all pristine and should play as new.
We shall see when I get home! |
16f4.
Thanks.
Some nice albums including Foghat, The Tubes, April Wine, Little Feat, The Kinks and more.
Will be getting airplay next week when I get home. |
@reubent .
2112 was a game changer for myself.
I read in our local music paper back in about 75 of the new Canadian upstarts, Rush, Styx and Mahogany Rush.
Took a chance and ordered 2 albums on import from our LRS at great cost back then for a young schoolkid!
I ordered 2112 and The Grand Illusion.
First couple times of 2112 I really did not get it and it had to grow on me until I realised it was one of the best things since sliced bread!
You have to remember I was brought up on a diet of pure English rock and metal, think Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Saxon, Tull etc.
All excellent but SO different to 2112 in every way.
But as I said a game changer as I then swallowed up North American music as fast as I could afford it! |
@reubent
I did not manage to catch them live until about 78 I think.
And no I have not seen that rockumentary, tbh I had not even heard of it.
Is it freely available on the web or do you have to buy it? |
Tomic.
Very funny! Saxon sounds just like that on their better days ... Lol.
@reubent .
I will search for it but if I cannot come across it at a fair price I may well take you up on that offer. Very decent and generous and much appreciated my friend! |
@reubent .
Found it at $7 on eBay for 2 disc set so worth it to add to my collection.
Thank you for your offer and for bringing it to my attention to start with. |
Rough Mix ... Pete Townsend and Ronnie Lane.
First of my $1 Virginia City purchases.
It plays just as it looks, like new.
Not cleaned just wiped down and there is nary a tick or pop to be heard.
Mind also playing through a new to me phono stage. Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 SE.
Also could be helping with background noise levels. |
|
Noromance.
That's funny....I gave all my Rundgren albums away bar one, Oops Wrong Planet, just because I like the title! |
@millercarbon.
And that my friend is exactly the ritual I was referring to in another music thread.
That takes the right frame of mind to do it justice for sure. |
@slaw
I am getting this feeling you have a thing for Luna perhaps?
😇😇 |
Hydra .... Toto.
Definitely not one of their better known releases but I find the SQ is pretty darn good.
Or it could be my new to me Lyra cart is making just about everything sound good .... Lol. |
Captured live at the Forum ... Three Dog Night. |
Certified Live ... Dave Mason.
Certified non rsd purchase....... |
History of Eric Clapton.
Seems everybody was obtaining chestnuts on RSD bar myself.
Only LRS I have is used , so I just made do with a bag full of $1 steals ... Like this! |
Tomic
I have worked in this area many times over the past 22 years... lol
Sometimes I think I know Cincinnati better than my home town, doh!
Have been round the air space I think 3 times as no better air museum in the USA I feel.
However it is still closed right now mores the pity.
My fave is the B2 Spirit stealth bomber, man what a machine!
You are right that anybody in this area just HAS to visit!
|
As still ensconced in Ohio had to visit another record store to get a fix... lol
Omega Music in downtown Dayton.
Not as good as the shop I visited couple weeks ago in Columbus but still found 6 new records so a good day.
Now all I have to do is find time to get home and play some.....
|
Fell asleep last night....lol
But I must admit to owning not only Frampton Comes Alive but Frampton Comes Alive 2 as well....
And if you want a good laugh then watch Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band....... |
Too old to Rock n Roll, Too Young to Die .... Jethro Tull.
Could not match Reubent 15c buys but our LRS was at least having a 50% off sale so the $1 bins gave me a few 50 cent buys.
Including this one and a few Jackson Browne and Gordon Lightfoot albums |
Summertime Dreams ... Gordon Lightfoot. |
Low Budget .... The Kinks.
This one has truly killer SQ, I am very impressed. |
Honestly Slaw you REALLY need to see and hear some of my bargain bin buys.
Seriously I can tell a lot of how it’s going to sound mostly by looks and sure I have got it wrong a few times,nobody is perfect.
But the vast majority I have bought hardly need more than a cursory wipe to play and sound excellent.
I have zero interest really in purchasing remasters or speciality label issues.
Never tried 45rpm album releases but getting up every 20 to 25 minutes to change sides is already tiresome enough at times ... Lol.
Maybe I am missing out but I also feel like I am " rescuing " precious gems from the scrap heap.
I am very happy with my mix of bargain buys and near mint issues but most are original releases.
Oh trust me the bargain bins do contain a LOT of junk that is only fit to make ash trays and modern art!
Maybe you never heard me talk of my Magnum collection where each one was close to $100 each as only released on German labels and not imported here.
I spend when I have/need to but in the meantime I really enjoy the albums my LRS throws in its bargain bins, usually the same quality other shops charge $5 or more for.
That may give you a bit of an insight into my mindset.
If still think I am off kilter so be it, I am happy and I am the only one who counts!
😎😎😎😎 |
City Slicker ... James Young ( Styx)
|
Reubent.
I am torn between 2112 and Hemispheres as best " classic Rush" album.
Maybe not to everyone liking but I really like Snakes & Arrows as one of their better later efforts.
Just my opinion of course. |
The Single Factor ... Camel.
Fabulous SQ and yes this one cost a lot more than $1 .... Lol.
Trying to also complete my Camel collection.
|
Tomic.
Sounds like you had/have a way more interesting work related background than myself, great stuff indeed.
Whenever we go somewhere new for vacation there are 4 things on my must do list.....
Zoos or wildlife refuge.
Automobile/ motorcycle/railway museums.
Air museums.
Record store.
No particular order of importance.......
😉😉 |
Did not know I had this one ...lol
Signals ... Rush |
Killer album @reubent .
I can play Tree's over and over! |
Cheap Trick live at the Budokan. |
