The top row came from my old neighbors in town, while the bottom row i pick up at Half Priced Books at my parents’s place in Houston. Not big on Tyler, The Creator, but i listened to the Igor album with them and it was excellent! I’m super stoked about On Time though. GFR is one of my all tome favorite bands and this was the last of their original albums i was missing. I’ve been on a massive Prog and folk rock binge this past year, so i am alwo excited to add some more ELP to the collection as well. All in all, i added a lot of great records to my collection this year, and i am hoping for a bunch more in the next year!
“Oh, you’re collecting these? I’m just going to put some labels on them.” I don’t know why stores do that. Book stores are notorious for it.
Good hsul, though. The ELP, GFR and ON-J ones really resonate with me.
I’m fortunate that my po-dunk little college town has 2 awesome record shops that sleeve up everything that is half decent shape. The ON-J were actually from my old neighbors. It was from their grandma’s collection, and mom didn’t care about them so told me to take them. You can tell grandma really loved ON-J, as they are in pretty rough shape, although what i have heard is acceptable at least.
Rocking out to On Time now while i make dinner and am loving it. Unfortunately the pressing is a bit fucked, and i have little bubbles of vinyl popping up in the last songs of both sides.
