Do you have any vinyl? I have a really large vinyl collection butam most interested in Detroit rock live bootlegs such as MC5, Stooges, Seger, etc. I have some pretty awesome Seger bootlegs, we should chat about that.
Excellent, see post #55 I wrote to another forum participant.
You'll see what I'm up to.
Maybe we can make a deal, say a trade?
A copy of Revelation Blues for me & for you a few volumes of my EMA ("Eclectic Myass" -- don't ask :o) ) works??
What-say-you?
"Don't ask me how it is though, I've had the disk for like 2 years and am JUST listening to it now. I knew I had it somewhere so I just dug it out!"
I know what you mean, I ordered & received a copy of an album several weeks ago I'm putting on for the first time right *now* as I write.
It's by Robin Trower -- ex-lead guitarist of the old group Procol Harum -- who honed his craft for a few years & in 1974 did what some say was his best work, Bridge of Sighs.
We shall see.
As a wannabe guitarist I might not have the lightening fast fingers for outrageous riffs & runs, but my ear still hears quite well, thank you very much. :o)
Y'know it's been my experience most every album has at least *one* cut (often more) suitable to make the cut & be on my EMAs.
Only artists one'll not hear are the putrid Liberal-Socialists who didn't have the brains to keep their mouths shut & sing.
Carley Simon & Bruce Springsteen would be two *fine* examples of R&Rers banned, Tony Bennett another in the jazz genre.
I'm serious about my politics while always trying to define the word "diverse", not bandy it about as a mere platitude as happens all too much these days.
Lemme know what you think about my suggestion.
I'm a real Republican & real Republicans love nothing more.
...than a good deal. ;^)
Yea.
But honestly if I've 250 albums total I'd be surprised, more likely less.
Haven't touched 'em in years in spite of owning a beautiful linear tracking Technics turntable my bride bought me for Xmas in the late 70s, early 80s.
Those albums moved with us over 4 states in the past 25 years, I've never opened the mover's boxes from the first move, either.
Most are badly worn though, could probably see through 'em if ya held them up to light.
The cover art is probably their real value these days, if any value a'tall.
"I have a really large vinyl collection butam most interested in Detroit rock live bootlegs such as MC5, Stooges, Seger, etc."
Interesting.
Are you a Michigander familiar with the Detroit R&R scene in the 60s, 70s & 80s?
Reason I ask is because I acquired a CD called, Hideout -- Friday At The Boss Detroit Garage 1964-67 which features nothing *but* the early Detroit rockers.
Plus I've a 4 disc boxed set featuring material in a similar vein called, Left of the Dial - Dispatches From The 80s Underground.
HA!!
Man are there some outrageous cuts on those babies.
The tight rears 'round here would have an anurysm -- I swear -- if they ever heard some of the cuts.
Naturally I *cherry-picked* the best for EMA, *naturally* :o)
"I have some pretty awesome Seger bootlegs, we should chat about that."
Great, let's do it.
Very few realize how long Seger's been around.
In fact he's actually still working, doing a *concert* in Milwaukee (within the next week or so).
I saw a picture of him & gone is the floppy dark brown hair, beard and svelte waistline of a hungry, rebellious kid.
A lot more than a mere "Touch of Gray".
Of course.
...I should talk. {g}
