That's the spirit! If you have something you can't get on with, move it on to a loving home... by the way are you still struggling to like your Steely Dan albums? In particular "Can't Buy a Thrill" and "Pretzel Logic"

Been to lots of concerts over the years, but I can't think of many I enjoyed as much as these folks

Excellent LP Steve. In fact they're all good with the possible exception, IMO, of "Even in the Quietest Moments".

I bought scores of LPs in the early to mid '80s, when they were being sold off cheaply (99p) in supermarkets, newsagents and even some corner shops. I bought a load of 'crap' (or rather material which didn't 'click' with me), so passed them on to jumble sales (this was before the rise of the now ubiquitous charity shops).That's the spirit! If you have something you can't get on with, move it on to a loving home... by the way are you still struggling to like your Steely Dan albums? In particular "Can't Buy a Thrill" and "Pretzel Logic"
Apropos Steely Dan, I don't dislike them, nor do I want to rave about them. In my view they made some LPs with excellent production values. Elevator music it ain't, but in my attempt to try and find out just what it was that people liked about Steely Dan (apart from a schoolboy snigger at their name), I ended up buying all of their LPs - and I have still haven't found out.
I'm slowly going through my LP collection and am embarrassed to find I have duplications of several recordings (especially classical). These go the charity shops in return for CDs, which can, on occasion, be a duplication of something I have already - and so it goes around!
