That's a great haul at the record fair......We don't get those around here. There are some pretty big ones in Southern California, some put on by colleges to raise money.

I look for estate sales, but there has not been much vinyl lately. The kids are keeping the albums now adays.....damn kids LOL.

I have not been buying much, trying to spend time listening. Last night I spent about 3 hours straight listening, pulling out stuff I had not spun in awhile.

Tons of fun!!!

I have several dbl LP sets that are A/D and B/C.....this was done for the old style record changers. You stack them and they drop and play, then just flip both. My Quadrophenia set is this way.....

Are all the copies of the Renaissance album incorrectly made that way, Sam? For some reason I seem to think I have two copies of this on vinyl, not sure if either of them are US pressings, though.

Hmm, might give that Camel album a spin tonight. Never a favourite album of theirs for me, in fact I barely seem to ever make through the whole thing. I always thought that `Down on the Farm' (I think that's what it's called off the top of my head) sounded absurd on it! Absurd on a Camel album, but it would have been right at home on a Caravan album!
I don't know but it's not incorrectly made, it's made for stackable turntables. This way it can play two sides, one after the other.

I think "Starlight Ride" and "Rainbow's End" are worse than that one, even if "Down on the Farm" doesn't make sense on that album.

That's the one I have too.

Sam, I just finished listening to `Breathless' again. I now have the opinion that pretty much every track is good on it EXCEPT that wretched `Rainbow's End'! What an awful tune, especially those falsetto spots in the chorus! Easily as bas as the poorest moments of `I Can See Your House...' and `The Single Factor'. I'd probably rate `Starlight Ride' as more bland than outright bad, forgettable but listenable. I don't love it, but I wouldn't skip it either.

^^ Yes, "Starlight Ride" is listenable but it's the second worse, in my opinion... at least they were nice to put the worst tracks at the end of each side LOL

My parents had one like this in the 60s. I played many British Invasion albums on it but always one at a time.

I rarely seem to find anything really good at record fairs these days. There's always plenty of overpriced copies of albums that are no better than good condition and being sold at the excellent condition price or more! I need to get to some of the V.I.P. fairs in the Uk but they're always way down south from where I live.

Two more LP's I bought last month (I've been going through them slowly, otherwise I'd want more vinyl right away LOL):

The only Camel album I didn't have between the debut and "Nude". The album is nice (except for the last track which I skipped) and Sinclair's bass work is the best thing on it, which is enhanced on this German pressing Wink


US pressing of Renaissance's classic live album. The first disc has sides 1/4 and the second 2/3 and since I didn't have any of these before I played it in the wrong order LOL 
A) -,Sinclair is in fine form on Breathless, especially Echoes. Very good album, indeed.
B) - the side 1/4 and 2/3 indicates an original pressing, designed for playing on an automatic juke-box type player (or something) - I have a few albums like this and discussed it way early in this vinyl thread - there was a method to the odd layout, it isn't an error.

Oh man...haven't heard that name in a long while.....I used to eat lunch at their lunch counter back in the mid 70's....when I worked in the city.
 
We also had one of those wood cabinet stereo things.....no tv,  just the turntable and am fm radio part.

I hear you. I thought anywhere in the UK was better than here vinyl-wise Tongue

"Echoes" is easily the best track on it but "Summer Lightning" and "The Sleeper" are great ones too.

^ Nice!!! I think I had that Renaud album many yrs ago......It may still be in a box. Also that Eagles album is one of the best albums ever recorded with the pop rock category, brilliant album.

Renaud is famous in French for, let's say, his funny lyrics Wink

This Eagles is not my favourite but it's a great album!!
