Correct...the only drummer they should ever have had!! Smith is amazing on the album.....I know he is back on with Journey so their lineup is now Schon, Valory, Cain, Smith and Pineda. Getting close to that mega awesome lineup just missing Rolie and Perry, although I do like Cain as a keyboardist.
Have not heard Perry sing lately so not sure how those vocal chords are holding up.....Pineda has really come along.

They might be the comeback 70/80's band.......

Two months without posting, things are getting really slow Embarrassed


More TD in my collection Smile This one has serious scruffs on side A so I asked for a discount. It turns out that after cleaning it plays great.


This is really weird Krautrock, and I have high tolerance with this genre Confused Nothing special in terms of quality, but does it really matter here?


I have to admit, after seeing them live, this is quite disappointing. I really liked the bass playing, but here it's buried under loads of guitars, most of the time.


I had this on my pile when I heard about Greg Lake. I dismissed it for a few years but it's a fantastic record.


I didn't have anything from them. It didn't do much for me at first listen, it needs more spins.


Part of a classic Prog exchange with David (Guldbamsen). Two very good records, especially the one on the left Thumbs Up


Very inspired by ELP, if Emerson only used pipe organ and synths. On a side note, I bought this because it was cheaper than a CD. I'm unhappy with the Black Widow's LP's I got: some have missing tracks, others are edited and all sound like a needle dropping on a CD. It's like paying twice as much for something worse Dead


The new album from peixe:avião, a Portuguese Alt Rock band that turned into something more instrumental/experimental/psychedelic, very much to my liking Thumbs Up Only bad thing: it has a pressing error. One track is repeated and another isn't on it, not to mention two linked tracks that have some time interval between them. No one listened to the test pressing? Confused Anyway, the label is accepting them back but I think I'll keep it, it might be valuable some day Tongue



Oh, and happy birthday, José Beer I'm thinking about spinning some Can today Smile

^ Thanks Sam!
Those are some great records you have, I never see stuff like that around here Cry I would take chance on those if I saw them...
Keep that misprint, you never know.

Right now.....some shoe-gaze prog Smile

Monster Movie was spun Cool

I think every place has interesting records to be found, depending on your taste. Being in Europe is certainly great for Prog but classic Jazz LP's (with decent quality) seem much more expensive here, for example.

I still don't have that one, I bought the documentary with the same name, thinking it was DVD audio Ouch

Only 349 were pressed, mine is #197.....almost upon every spin of any Can album I find more and more appreciation for this band and their music.

^ Jose, love that Nektar album. May not be as 'classic' as the 70's gems, but still love it.
What's the yummy Spatter album - Monster Movie ?? I got an old U.A. pressing for next to nothing in the late-90's. Still sounds fantastic !!

I really like Time Machine also, especially side II, it plays really well when I crank the volume knob LOL. Sad that Roye is gone, not sure what will happen going forward. But like most of these much older bands, the early catalog is holding its own, which I prefer anyhow.

Yea that special edition splatter is Monster Movie live studio session, alternate mix. There is another issue on red vinyl from Inner Space Tokyo which is a bootleg, says it is live but I understand it is not.

Awesome! I'd probably lose my mind trying to pick a few titles LOL Seems very well organized though.

Some of you may remember me posting some time ago about a friend who was thinking about selling his large vinyl collection (about 6,000 albums). Back then he had purchased a turntable with a USB port and was going to transfer about one thousand albums to CD and he was talking to a record flipper who had offered him $5 per album sight unseen. 
He and I have not talked in quite awhile but I received a text message the other day saying that he had sold his collection for $24,000. The buyer was a collector who also owned a small record store.
Back then I was pricing some of my more valuable albums and I cautioned him about selling his entire collection without separating a few hundred of his high dollar albums. He wasn't interested in doing that so I have to assume he sold everything for $4 each. 
I don't know how you guys feel but I think he made a big mistake. How hard would it have been to pull out about 500 albums and then sell the rest for $22,000? 
I was not interested in buying anything from him but I just think he made a mistake doing the bulk deal without pulling some things out first.

^ BIG mistake !! I would've done exactly what you said - take out a chunk of the rarer, possibly valuable ones, and sell the rest as bulk. 6000 LP's ?? That's 3 times more than my hoard........Just 'wow'.

^  I know his collection pretty well since he and I collected albums together in the late sixties and all through the seventies. As far as quality goes I would rate it at a solid 4,500 albums. The other 1,000 to 1,500 were bulk purchases from all the record stores that were selling off their vinyl stock. Most of the time he had no idea who these bands were.

Yea not good......Never show your full hand, which maybe he did and the buyer said, "you can't cherry pick me, all or nothing offer!"

That's too bad, 6,000 albums is a lot of storage space too......$24K can fit in my back pack LOL. How old is your friend Gary?
