Some secondhand CDs

Genesis - Calling All Stations CD+DVD -- repurchase. reacted in horror to it after playing it once 16 years ago and decided it was time to give it another chance.  It can't be that bad. I love almost everything else Genesis did.   Listening to it now and it's not unpleasant.  It's kind of like Porcupine Tree, in an odd way.

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson -- seen David-Bamsen playing this a lot and since it's not a common sight in stores I thought I'd grab it.  First sampling sounds cool.

Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead -- the debut album from '67 plus some key bonus tracks

Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power -- I've never really latched on to this one.  First time I got it, I thought it sounded kind of muffled and weak.  Then when Iggy remixed it and reissued it, I thought it sounded kind of harsh and piercing.  I'd never had a problem with the other two Stooges albums so I knew it was just a matter of time.  Today I found a remastered version of the original mix, and I'm hoping this combination does the trick.  It's also a deluxe set with a live CD from Atlanta (yay) in 1973, looks pretty hardcore.

Just a basic, slightly fun listen. You could say its in the 'good, not essential category.'

It left me with a good feeling inside, and that's something.  A basic, slightly fun listen as you say.
Would you believe me if I told you that when it first came out, and I bought it right away, I was expecting Phil Collins to be on it?  That's the main reason I went into shock, I think.  I just never got the memo.

A friend of mine at work burned me a copy of Return To Forever's "Romantic Warrior".  Not really a purchase, but an addition nonetheless.  Pretty good, too.

I guess so! took me a while to buy this album because Phil wasn't even on it.
You have to ask yourself this question...when I listen to Calling All Stations does it really sound like a 'Genesis album?
I personally don't think it does. Banks is really the only recognizable member.

Found some used cds in excellent condition..........
