What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

[Dusty Ol'Man]

Great find. There's really nothing out there like this album before or since it's release.

I believe we have two copies of the original pressing (US). I always felt the vocalist could have been better chosen. The music itself is excellent.

Listening to an interesting track right now on the Vanessa Mae album. At first listen it could easily be mistaken for a Deep Purple track from around the Book of Taliesyn era. First time I heard it, I thought it had to be a Purple number. "Hocus Pocus" Turns out to be by a Dutch band called Focus. I'll be hunting some of their stuff down.

Focus is Thijs van Leer.

Right now listening to Deep Purple on vinyl,,,,Who Do You Think We Are...

Thanks for the tip. I will seek a copy of King Arthur.

I believe you are correct. Got mine on eBay last year. Has a little surface noise here and there but nothing bad, bad. No complaints for under $5.00.
Yes, the vocals are a bit weak perhaps, but they're only there to tell the story of the Journey. Wakeman, the band and the orchestra far overshadow the vocals.

Can't talk that much about ELP's debut album without playing it.

You may have missed my earlier post on the subject of Journey's vocalist.

Haha. That's my company's theme tune, or should be.

Yet another thrift item from today. I only picked a few records along with my big haul of tapes, but so far they are all excellent.

Surfaces are dead silent.

Saw this advertised locally for quite a price. One of Jean Michel Jarre's old man's best, IMHO.

LOL Brother!
Tell me these guys didn't take too much ACID:

Can't beat 99 cents for that.

I think I knew at one time that Maurice was Jean Michel's father. I forgot. I'm very learned, but I think I forgot more stuff than most people ever knew.

Just saw it...priceless!
