Yes, you are correct.
Neil joined for the second album.
Fly By Night.
I think that one and Pink Floyd Animals we literally wore those vinyl albums out.
I think Animals got left on top of the Realistic receiver/amp by mistake. The next day it was all warped.
Some albums got played so much, they eventually just got throw away. ZZ Top Fandango, New Riders of the Purple Sage Panama Red, Boston, Led Zeppelin four, Pink Floyd Wish You were Here, Lynard Skynard One More from the Road, Jethro Tull Aqualung, Eric Clapton Slowhand. Those are the ones I remember from my teenage years.
Funny you bring up the warped LP. I left my first Permanent Waves record on top of the turntable in my freshman dorm room back in 1982. So bummed when I came back from class and saw the potato chip on the turntable bringing on a whole new meaning to the term - permanent waves. Not to fear, Moving Pictures was in the on deck circle. Those years, 1981-1983 were peak RUSH for me.
