Great to see your enthusiasm.
There are many here that never left it.
Bought my first album's in '64. Never really stopped, although it got less as our 3 children came along. But that was long ago and still I am buying.
Yes, I probably got that info from the movie. I did read Brian Wilson's Autobiography he wrote years ago, I may have remembered if from there also. Sorry for throwing out these tidbits of rock facts. It is a compulsion. LOL. I made an error when signing up as I used my real name and system states once it is set it cannot be changed. However, I should have gone by what all my friends used to call me in the younger days "Encyclopedia Brown". Because I have been filled with useless rock facts for over on 50 years since I started collecting records via 45's in 1966 when I was a mere 5 years old.My brothers and sisters were older and I wanted to be like them. I am kinda like the guy in "Almost Famous" My older brothers and sisters set me free via vinyl. I was weird, my friends would be in the toy's isle and I would be in the 45 section looking at LP's and wondering why the hell someone would buy all those songs when you knew only one. It was not until 1968 that I discover Three Dog Night and The Grassroots. They were the 2 bands that started my first albums. It went from there. Yes, I should have gone by Encyclopedia Brown as I still rant off useless rock facts like Turett's (sp) Syndrome.
I love the fact vinyl is back! I shop via Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (they have really always been around even when vinyl left) Now I also shop SoundStageDirect.com. I am blown away that I could literally recreate about 60% of my vinyl collection with new pressings. I am actually doing that at the moment with 14 bands. I have dialed in on 6 British Bands, 6 American Bands and a few Canadian Bands. I have been ordering them in the order of release. So far I have the first and second albums (on new vinyl 180 grams with great card stock) of each of the following bands. Again collecting them just as if I was getting them in the order and time they came out. The bands are as follows:
British
1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. The Who
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Black Sabbath
6. Deep Purple
American Bands:
1. Aerosmith
2. Blue Oyster Cult
3. Boston
4. Jimi Hendrix
5. Kansas
6. Van Halen
Canadian Bands
1. Rush
2. Triumph
Thanks Slick Willie,Nice list that could easily mimic mine!
Oh my!
Catus Bob is getting serious! Sweet selection! Gotta love the visuals too. Just like what waynec was stating in regards to not getting a product with digital. Yes, the root intent is to listen to music. But without the props it just isn't the same! And darn, I really like to pull out a fold out album for the first time in years and find lil ole seeds falling out. LOL remember that the fold outs were a great prop for other things.
Yes, and the album / covers and photos are in excellent condition. Well done!Thanks David! This lp has one heck of a line-up, cheers!
