@ziggy126

ALSO I LOVE UR ECLECTIC TASTE ,, spent some bucks on your postings lol

Yikes! Welp, hope you are pleased 😁

In terms of Discogs, the best way is to look up each of your LP’s per the record company release #, then figure out which pressing you have. Yes, that takes work, but once input, newer LP’s don’t take as much time. It’s the initial inputting of your collection that takes time. But again, IMO, worth it.

You can then ‘group’ LP’s by genre, etc. to your own created genre categories. You can also search by artist, group, composer, record label, etc.

Discogs is fairly intuitive once you get going creating your collection.

OK THANKS FOR THAT , do they walk me though it process , u got like 1100 vinyls, ALSO I LOVE UR ECLECTIC TASTE ,, spent some bucks on your postings lol

@ziggy126 

I recommend Discogs. It takes a while, but worth it. It also provides some knowledge of what your LP’s and collection collectively is worth.

Hawkwind – Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music (Charisma 1976)

Album herein contains one of the greatest tone poem, proto punk, classical fusion songs ever written. Steppenwolf. The lyrics alone are a treasure.

Hawkwind – Quark, Strangeness And Charm (Charisma 1977)

"Einstein was not a handsome fellow
Nobody ever called him Al
He had a long moustache to pull on, it was yellow
I don't believe he ever had a girl
One thing he missed out in his theory
Of time and space and relativity
Is something that makes it very clear
He was never gonna score like you and me"

Death And Vanilla - To Where The Wild Things Are.....

2017 Reissue on Fire Records

@big_greg  +1  Women And Children First is my second favorite VH recording only behind the great debut. "Romeo Delight" has always been my No.1 VH song with "In a Simple Rhyme" placing in my top 10. Since only a few of us are consistently spinning Hard Rock/Metal let's "Keep The Faith"!

A few from yesterday...
