Thought I'd get with the zeitgeist:

I'll play their bootleg - "Definitely Perhaps"!
I might get tickets for this (or Wishbone Ash who are playing there later this month, I can't decide)

I'd go for the Wishbone Ash every time. ;)
2nd thatQuote:

I have 'Happy Trails', but I only ever play the side with the single track "Who do you love?".Quote:

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:

Given Emerson's interest in Classical music, maybe I should give 'Pictures at an Exhibition' a go.Quote:

Friend of mine bought two copies the day it came out and left one in the porch for me when I came home from work. She didn't have to work as she was an heiress but that also meant she didn't ask me for the money for it either.
We waited years for it to come out and we'd occasionally chat about it and then when it did it was a bit of a disappointment. But I still occasionally give it a go in case it clicks for me:

You're still talking about the album are you :eyebrows:Quote:

I've looked at that because I really like the album art (I'm so superficial), but they are a bit pricey.Quote:

'Use Your Illusion' I and II are fantastic, play them quite a bit. Both on CD.
'The Spaghetti Incident' is worth having even if it is just covers, they're pretty good covers IMO.
You know, I also have 'The Spaghetti Incident' just for completion, and am ashamed to say I have not even played it. I think Chinese Democracy suggested to me they'd had their day in the sun. My vinyl copy of Appetite for Destruction is also the early banned cover but no CD version. I have come across it before though, so next time I see it I'll get it for you. Because I'm a nice person :)Quote:

Yeah, I read about that - apparently speculation by the music press. Might have been interesting though, hearing Emerson and Jimi trying to outdo each other :eek: During the formation of the band, Mitch Mitchell was approached for the drumming job, which obviously never came to anything. Maybe that's where the Jimi rumours started.Quote:

Ok, I'm giving this a go, and turns out I really like it :) Don't know why I would have lumped it in with 'Chinese Democracy', they are 15 years apart.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SX425_.jpg
Great covers album; I also have all of the other albums except for Chinese Democracy and the reason for that was, it wasn't the original GnR, it took forever to come out (something like about 10-15 yrs after the originals split). If you like GnR, the Velvet Revolver (3 ex GnR members Matt, Slash and Duff) first album is an absolute killer album !!!!Quote:

Are You Okay? is the fourth album by art-funk ensemble Was (Not Was). It was released in 1990.
Outstanding 1990 effort from Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Came out 34 years ago tomorrow. Seems like last week.
https://i.ibb.co/wrJj5zQ/raffed.jpg
Been playing this quite a bit recently. Never got into it before even though had it for years on vinyl and CD
https://i.ibb.co/X5CzWRf/tejas.jpg
Some really good stuff on it.
One of the first LPs in my collection. :)Quote:
