Interesting thought, that– it never occurred to me to name records, though I done see why it’s any different than calling your Fender Strat ‘Rocky’. a-hard-days-night-george-9

I actually forgot about that when I named it. I dunno, I guess the name just appeared and I chose it. Odd… a-hard-days-night-paul-10

Huh. I always thought that record naming was an average kind of thing to do, but I s’pose not. Interesting. 

And I’ve actually got another record that I named as well: a ’71 pressing of Led Zeppelin IV named Sheldon. (I loved it and called it the first thing that came to mind.) a-hard-days-night-george-9

my neighbor had an estate sale and this guy had nearly every grateful dead soundboard rip since ’66. i kid you not there were thousands of live shows on cd. needless to say i spent a little money there and came home with shows from 73, 77, and 90 woth bruce hornsby. 

also i mentioned the john renbourn vinyl in the “what are you listening to right now?” thread on record store day

The last “new” album was 1+ (Beatles)

The last “used” were some first press US and UK vinyl records.

I got a first pressing of Magical Mystery Tour .

The Grand Illusion, by Styx.

London Town .

Rubber Soul (someone had used fiberglass tape on the jacket!)

First pressing of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. There’s something wrong with it though, it’s missing the “with” in “With A Little Help From My Friends

Edit: By “missing” I mean the word isn’t printed on the label in the middle of the record.

On Saturday, my dad and I were wasting time in downtown Stevens Point, and we stopped in to a record store. I finally picked up Blackstar on CD.

Haven’t gotten a new CD in a while. Most of the music stores in my area don’t sell much of the stuff I like. Loads of Beatles stuff, tiny amounts of pretty much everything else

I finally bought something that wasn’t Elvis. I bought the “Chorus” 5-CD box set by Lush, and their new EP, “Blind Spot.”

Oh yeah, and I got Flying Saucer Attack, “2015 Instrumentals.”

Other things that are not Elvis that I’ve bought recently…I’m collecting all of the CDs that go in the Phil Collins “Take a Look At Me Now” box set.

I didn’t buy them, but I recently received the soundtrack to Grease and a Josh Groban cd.

At an estate sale I bought The Carpenter’s singles. 

Very good condition. Great female vocals that completley take over the sound. So clear and beautiful. 

I also picked up Gordon Lightfoot’s Sundown

When I was really into Chicago, I recall being excited each time an album came out, because for at least the first eight, each album was a different “material”.

Chicago 1 – a wood plank painted with the Chicago logo

Chicago 2 – blue steel with the Chicago logo carved into the steel

Chicago 3 – A cloth flag, red white and blue and tattered (ooh, deep symbolism for a nation in shreds!), and as always, the Chicago logo dyed on

Chicago 4 – white stone with the Chicago logo carved in

Chicago 5 – what looks like an unfinished wood fence, with the Chicago logo carved in so you can see The Inner Light wood contrasting with the outer darker wood finish

Chicago 6 – paper money bill, faded beige backing and blue ink, with the Chicago logo printed on and pictures of all band members

Chicago 7 – the “leather” cover

Chicago 8 – what looks like a needlepoint tapestry of a bird in bright red, green and yellow threads on a black background, with the Chicago logo woven in

Chicago 9 – a giant chocolate bar, half unwrapped, with the Chicago logo carved into the chocolate

I think my favorite is the paper money one.

Hard Working Americans — Rest in Chaos

 

On vinyl, and on CD, plus that “free” download.  So I can listen to this album wherever, whenever.

It's gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with me

I got Johnny’s Rock ‘N’ Roll and Pink Floyd’s The Wall (which I have to share with my mum a-hard-days-night-paul-3), both on CD.

My mum also got The Tragically Hip’s Road Apples on CD as well, if that’s of any interest.
