 I do like the red telephone booth on the jacket. If it were a little larger, a tad bluer and had a lunatic inside- and a strobe light atop it, it could pass for the Tardis.

Thanks; $24.00 is not bad at all. On Amazon someone was trying to get 60+ seashells for it.

^^I've seen parts of it several times over the last couple of months. He is an amazing blues/rock guitarist
who was part of Black Country Communion with Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham.
Bonamassa's playing is definitely equal to the late blues guitarist Gary Moore.

I only know his work with Black Country Communion, and it's really good, although I was never able to finish any album: I think more than one hour is too much for that kind of music Confused

^^ I understand what you're saying.
In my case, I have a long history with blues based rock music and specifically the guitarists that play that style.
If I'm in the right mood I could listen to it all afternoon. The British blues movement (Crusade) caused me to
move on from rhythm to lead guitar.

I normally don't listen to full Blues Rock albums, but I occasionally return to Steve Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood Thumbs Up
I like playing both rhythm and lead guitar, I get bored when I play too much of one. I've been practicing a bit of flamenco lately, but nothing very serious Tongue

Friday night finds in Seattle......after Valentine's Dinner wife and I walked into Zions Gate Records in Seattle about 9pm. Very cool pace, bins are full of vinyl barely room to flip. They need to run a sale!

This store caters to very heavy death, grind, black metal records and hip hop rap. My wife found two she wanted.....Men At Work-Business As Usual and Queen-News Of the World. The Queen is new in wrapper, the MAW was used but in fantastic condition for $6, cleaned it up plays with nare a peep of surface noise.
 
Good stuff.....

^ Nice find! My father has the "Down Under" single in his collection, I used to play that one a lot Tongue

I always laugh when someone mentions News of the World:

I never listened to it, I stopped at A Night at the Opera, which I have on CD. I relistened that one last year and it still bored me so much... except for Bohemian Rhapsody Tongue

Queen is not prog, more artsy rock opera style. The songs are well done, but other than their radio hits are not known for other songs.
Mercury has the best voice in rock still to this day....

Yeah, it's one of those strange cases where the radio hits are the best songs. I also like Killer Queen, it's a nice tune.
I prefer most of the other Top Prog Related bands though: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Iron Maiden. I can listen to many of their albums easily... I haven't played some Sabbath in a while though Ermm

Exactly, and precisely. I believe between Mercury and May they could have powered an exceptional prog band, but they, apparently, weren't interested. Mercury had incredible talent and vision, but he got his kicks out of emotional extravaganza and brash bravado, not so much out of quality music. Luckily, once in a while Freddy And His Fellas felt like making a quality piece for a change, and those are nothing short of fantastic, including the lyrics that are quite on par with Roger Waters. I would venture to say that one can put together one or two kick-@$$ compilation album(s) of purest prog from Queen's discography. 
Thank you, Fripp, for our daily Prog (Red 39:54)

Problem is there are no notations about grade, deadwax info and such........
 
 
 
Email I just received from this man's daughter, I am not surprised at her decision right now, I know they were slammed with emails and offers for small to medium size lots of vinyl. I offered to buy like 20 or so at like $80 site unseen, some good titles she had and going by what Fremer said most were in VG to mint condition...but still, I can't look at them.
 

We must apologize…
With the deluge of album requests (many with 50+ piece inquiries) we were quickly brought to the sobering conclusion that it would be an impossible task to sell in the manner (of our own devise).  
Upon initial attempt we realized the immense amount of time it would take to locate, examine, price, negotiate, etc. and that it was time we cannot afford.
Burdened by the fact we got in over our heads we feel embarrassed and apologize for the fiasco.
We are going to try our hand at selling the collection as a whole. 
If this attempt comes without success then we will begin placing albums and combinations up for auction on eBay. 

We will post updates on the progress of both on the website.
Thank you for your patience and hopefuly your understanding.

This was not a fun email to write :(
