Did you buy any Vinyl today?

[megatrends]

Uh oh! Some careless record store employee put this out before the release date! Of course, I did not buy it, but dutifully reported it to the management and asked them to hold it for me until Tuesday...



Well, maybe not.

Lolololololll

I take it then that you won't be listening to it before you are supposed to . If by any chance it found its way onto your music replaying machinery how does it sound ? I thought about getting it , mainly for the cover , but have so many other demands on my resources that I haven't jumped yet .

Of course I won't play it yet. I have it spinning away on my turntable, but promise not to drop the needle until11:59 pm Monday evening.

HAHAHAHA NICE!!!

I got a couple of records today, one from a friend as a gift. he got me the Star Wars rip off LP which was released in 1978.

Here's another "classic" from the Kid Stuff Repertory Company. Looking at this cover, you might think it was the story of two little American kids who go up in a rocket and have an adventure on a strange planet with two robots, a Threepio and an Artoo ripoff. Except that just about everything on this cover is a lie. The only connection to "Star Wars" is that they play the theme song at the beginning of the record. After that, you get the story "Jack and the Flying Saucer", a sort-of "Jack and the Beanstalk" parallel. The difference is that Jack lives on the planet Boom Boom, a planet where everything makes a loud noise. He and his mother are poor, so she sends him to sell Pinky, their stuffem worm. Jack trades the worm for what he is told is a magic saucer. Mom is upset with Jack when he returns home and throws the saucer out the window. The next morning, it has turned into a flying saucer. He flies off into space, meets a space monster, and eventually lands on the planet Sshhhh which (as you might expect) is a very quiet planet. Jack goes to a castle, meets a giant and his wife, and you can pretty well guess how the story goes from here.

There are some interesting bits here. For example, for some reason the guy playing Jack does it with a Cockney accent. I have no idea why. Also, the story is narrated by Shadoe Stevens, a voice you might recognize from his radio work or from being the announcer on the latest version of the Hollywood Squares.

Anyway, this is a pretty odd one!




Then we have STARCASTLE - CITADEL What a fantastic band!!! Kind of a YES clone with an ELP mix maybe throw in some Kansas as well.

I have their complete discography now on LP.

This record has a tattered sleeve but the lp is MINT!!!!! I got it for $1.00 on eBay.

Car boot day today so while the wife was happily selling stuff I had a wonder round looking for vinyl I saw quite a selection but people are just asking too much for old battered LP's. As we were thinking about packing up for home I decided a loo break was in order.

The selection I came away with:

Just bought 2000 off Ebay (more than the size of my collection at its biggest!).
I don't know if anybody is interested in hearing what I get, or even what I'm going to do with them, but if so, I'm happy to post updates here.

BTW, it's not hard to find out what, as my Ebay i.d. is the same as my VinylEngine ID.

the addiction is out of control.
