A band who can write a monster like "Mississippi Queen" must have deeper cuts just waiting to be discovered ... right? Let's find out. I found this in the dollar bin, and while it cleaned up okay, I didn't realize there was a pretty good wobble in the vinyl. I have a weight stabilizer and it helped a bit, although the first cut on each side is a little off until it moves in a bit - but it isn't too noticable. This really doesn't have anything to do with the album but it was part of my experience with the album so I'll allow it. The first thing that stood out was how tacky and well, bad the album design was. Sure, it was the early 70s an era of pretty much anything was allowed - or tried, but come on, this was also the era of really great Roger Dean covers, so having a cover with a blurry "action shot" of Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi surrounded by weird cartoon bird creatures that looked like angry McDonald's Fry Guys or worse technicolor ...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
