The only Allman Brothers' record I have is 'Brothers and Sisters '.
Whilst I have a few MFSL records, I don't handle them any differently from any other labels.

Tbh Robin they were one of the many bands of that era that went unnoticed by me. I since heard good things about them so I thought I'd give them a go. And this MFSL pressing was going at a reasonable price (less than 30 quid). I've no way of knowing how much better this will sound, but it is pretty good. Only thing is the values have shot up so much that I'm reluctant to give it much play - maybe I should get a CD copy...Quote:

Another band that flew under my radar originally, but between playing this album and also streaming their stuff via Amazon music I'm becoming more familiar. I might even go see them live later this month if I can persuade Anita - I'm not going on me bill.
Ubiquitous in the 70s, but I never felt the urge to have my own copy. Then a few years ago I saw it going for pennies at a record fair... I like it more now than I did back then.

My copy is a UK first pressing, although I only picked it up a few months ago but is near mint.Quote:

I handle all my records the same way, with care, for music is a bit like whisky to be enjoyed and shared with friends.
Another band i saw in Glasgow in the early 70’s , also had that able but no longer, I think at some point my tastes changed and there was a cull of records, strangely I have a copy of Tarkus but don’t have a cover for itQuote:

It's fine, one or two pops, but you'd expect much worse when house sharing with poxy students :) Just noticed - if you take the top of the 'd' off, Argus is an anagram of drugs :) Otherwise it just says drgus.Quote:
