How could I pass this up? This was one of the original pressings, BR 6959, but it's not like it made this any more valuable. It was still a dollar, but dang boy howdy, a dollar well spent. I sure would have liked to have had the insert, but never having seen the original, who knows if it actually had anything on the inside. The album cover was in decent shape, and the vinyl, especially on the first killer side, cleaned up so well I was surprised. Mint, baby. The second side had a little rash, a pretty good nick on "Terraplane Blues" that lasts a few spins around, but nothing to spoil things. I wasn't even in my teens when this came out, and I can't remember when I first heard songs by the band. Over the years, of course, "Slow Ride" would take on a life of its own when my kids started playing it on Guitar Hero - a game that frankly brought classic rock into the mainstream, even if only for a moment. The title track was also a great song. It's too bad...
A place where I just blather on about shit I either miss, or am excited about, or just found and want to share. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally don't know what I'm talking about, but sometimes I do. This generally reads like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the images ... mostly it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
