Rock and Roll PING!
Great album. I have it too. Probably not as an original issue, though.
I do have a lot of old vinyl, though: about 600 LPs, 200 45’s and EPS, and a dozen or so 78’s. None in mint condition because I buy ‘em to hear ‘em. One thing I have that I’m told is worth a bit of money is an original copy of the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” EP and booklet.
Sorry, lost interest right there. But I do own a lot of vinyl.
Just got a new record player. Sounds great. I prefer records to other music media at home. They stopped selling them when I was 10, but I’ve always loved them.

I have about 100 vinyl LPs. I have shifted most of my collection over to CDs now.
Some say that LPs give you a better sonic response than do CDs. I honestly can’t tell much of a difference.
I do miss the album art though. ‘Pod.
The original pressing if I remember correctly was under Bill Grahams label in San Francisco. I think I have a copy of that, as well as a rare live recording of the Grateful Dead in 1966 in the Avalon Ballroom under the Sundance? Record label. Excellent recording quality.
<p.Frank Frost (blues) is a highly collectible. Even the ROlling Stones original SOme Girls release before they had to change the cover is worth some money.

A musician I know takes a black sharpie and blacks the edges only of his CD’s. He swears that it makes the basses and mid-ranges richer, has something to do with light refraction/absorption.
And wouldn’t it be a kick if the RIAA got a notion to go after anyone who tries to sell old vinyl (that the publishing rights haven’t lapsed on.) Just musing.
My parents collected the old 78’s for years, a family member worked for Columbia apparently. I asked Dad before he passed away if he wanted me to do anything special with them - he suggested skeet practice O.o .. he was such a trip. lol
Same song being played on a 70s vintage turntable:

My husband has a stack of 45s that he has been carrying around since high school. Some real oldies but goodies, their. He has some old albums too. Revolver, Some of the original Byrds albums and a lot more. We haven’t had a record player in years.
