| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon -Yes, amazing record given it was 1968. Bad thing is the record label, Tetragrammaton, was a shoe string operation. Their pressings were made with regrind (recycled) vinyl to save money. The surface noise of this record is horrible but t... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @boxer12-Tim, regarding Golden Palominos, my favorite is “A Dead Horse” mainly because Robert Kidney (15-60-75/The Numbers Band) plays guitar and composed several of the tracks. I believe Robert also composed several tracks on “Blast Of Silence”.... | |
