Recent Purchases - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I've already posted this in the Vinyl thread, but I guess I will post it here, too.

A 180 g reissue of Moving Gelatine Plates' self-titled debut.

Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.

^ I have blues on cd by various artists, Muddy Waters, Johnson, Howlin' Wolf, BB King, etc... but nothing on vinyl.....back in the day I spent my money on classic rock and fusion and prog.

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

^ No, you're not the only blues fan here Smile

3xLP box set with eleven alternate takes + a lyrics booklet and poster.

Found this on ebay a few years ago. It was listed as used but is in excellent

condition (LPs and packaging) with no signs of wear.

^ Yeah, my copies of the first album and Happy Trails got a lot of play back then but they're still in good condition.

it's where I grew up, being born Dec 5th 1968 (actually Oakland, not SF, but hey, that's just across the bridge)

Friede and I recently bought a quite interesting CD: Bach's "Goldberg Variations" arranged for string trio, played by the Swiss Chamber Soloists (Hanna Weinmeister - violin, Jürg Dähler - viola and Thomas Grossenbacher - violoncello). a very refreshing new aural view of the Goldberg Variations

^ Yeah, LA had some good psychedelic bands at that time but San Francisco was clearly the leader in the psychedelic rock sound.

^ I bought that Quicksilver album when it first came out because Pride Of Man was getting a lot of radio play.

At the end of the first listen I discovered the 12 + minute song The Fool. I think these guys and Jefferson Airplane had the most talented musicians in the San Francisco music scene at the time.

^ I used to have 2 copies of Camembert, on the b&w Virgin label.....
Today, I went to JB and walked out with 3 DVD packages. ;
IRON MAIDEN - The Early Years (Part 1)
MESHUGGAH - The Ophidian Trek
.....and a cartoon set of UNDERDOG Volume 1. Modest shoeshine boy turned superhero. I loved this when I started school back in '77.

Zappa In New York, Sleep Dirt and Orchestral Favorites, all by Frank Zappa.

On a related note, I also have a copy of Läther (which is why I did not by Studio Tan, since it has all those tracks from there) I got a few years back and my original plan was to make an alternate version of that album so I could add unedited versions of songs while leaving out some songs that ended up on his others albums. However, I realized leaving some out would have ended up diluting the variety, so I decided to include them, while trying to maintain some semblance of what Frank originally intended for the album. Unfortunately, my alterations ended up with an extra LP side, so I decided to put "Strictly Genteel" and "Bogus Pomp" from Orchestral as its own side. I now have a version of Läther that's 5 LPs long instead of the original 4.

I haven't listened to it yet and if wasn't for the fact that a) I listened to most of the material beforehand and b) Frank was probably the only musician in existence (non-classical at least; Wagner would probably look at Läther's length and laugh) who had the potential to make a quadruple or larger album and not have it stink (take that Kiss and Metallica), I probably would have gone mad.
