Original cut of Mono "You Are There",sounds much better on vinyl to mp3.


Love that album. Can't wait for their new one. I saw them live last year and it was just awesome.

Just got these today.
Yes/ Fragile, The Beach Boys/ Endless Summer, The Allman Brothers Band/ Live At Fillmore East, The Moody Blues/ Days Of Future Passed, Yes/ Tales From Topographic Ocean, The Who/ Who's Next, Rod Stewart/ Every Picture Tells a Story, Neil Young/ After The Gold Rush/ Harvest
All of them reissues. I went through some really hard times the last few years and have finally gotten a full time job again that is worth having. Life is good.

Cool photo, looks like you were up nice and close.
I only recently got acquainted with Mono. Someone posted up a godspeed you black emperor! clip and I like that and they said I may also like Mono. Great music to immerse yourself into. Good to get some more contemporary music on vinyl.

I just scored a Japanese pressing of Who's Next that is supposed to be in NM condition. I sure hope so! I'll find out when it gets here. Plus I got ELP's Brain Salad Surgery and Karl Bohm conducting Rossini's Overtures on Deutsche Grammophone still sealed. yahoo!

Yes it is .... Jet Jaguar!!!! Obviously you are cool also. I have some Godzilla figurines also from different years which my favorite two of those are 1968 and 2000 (not that US Godzilla crap).

Today's gets came in the mail ... had to block a window up with a blanket that sun shines in on the spot the mailman leaves them in my hallway. had a couple records ruined this way during the summer heat we are having currently.

these were okay though.

LED ZEPPELIN - IV (replaces a lesser copy I bought in the late 70s)
MECO 12 INCH EP STAR WARS DISCO. .... God I love this record. i had the 45 rpm with the short version when I was 10 in 1977 so this was just pure nostalgia for me.

Interesting note, I have a Superman disco by Meco 12 inch also which also has one side as a dummy side with no grooves. Also this record is in fantastic shape. Paid $6 for it.

I paid $4 for the Led Zeppelin.

I got a copy of this Meco album a few weeks back for 50¢, but it's got music on both sides:

I love the tiny 'Music Inspired By' above the Star Wars title.

I've also heard the Jet Jaguar theme from Godzilla vs. Megalon was released as a 45 in Japan. I'd love to score a copy of that one!

When I get some more isopropyl I'll clean these up and play them.
