So stop and take the time to buy this album,
So i can plant roses and smell them all day long.
Stop ev'rything you're doing,
Run to your local record shop and say,
"give me that record called 'stop'"
I'm going crazy with this record business,
I wanna stop it, you want me to stop it,
Ev'rybody wants it to stop.

- Harry Nilsson and Richard Starkey

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Self Titled
(1968, Track)



inspired by a discussion on why did psychedelic rock develop so fast? My take from wikipedia - "When viewed under the influence of such substances as LSD, psychedelic mushrooms, and peyote, a clock may appear to be a strange reference point and a useless tool for measuring the passage of events as it does not correlate with the user's experience. At higher doses, time may appear to slow down, stop, speed up, go backwards and even seem out of sequence."

I think it's cool that there are lots of small, independent record stores doing ok and bucking the trend. I don't hit the stores very often, but I'll probably hit a few Seattle stores this afternoon with my son. Happy record store day, and good luck with the crate digging!

[SpeakerLabFan]

Paul McCartney / Wings - Wild Life
(1971, Apple) STERLING LH in the deadwax; mastered by Lee Hulko at Sterling Sound

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Doors - Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine
(1972, Elektra)



It's different hearing Doors songs in a compilation instead of original releases, i.e., Break On Through followed by Strange Days.
Found this excellent copy in a thrift store bin this week.

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Animals - Best Of The Animals
(1987, ABKCO) STERLING in the deadwax; mono pressing



1 LP mono reissue of 1973 release, sounds really nice.
This is the first US release with the "correct" UK version of We Gotta Get Out Of This Place

[SEAWOLF97]

long Fuji ride today ...found these 2 + Doobie Bros..Toulous St. , The LIVE Moodies is a double.

T Rex is a guilty pleasure. A glam rock group, yet what a sound, and Electric Warrior is, I think, a pop-art masterpiece. I often listen to it on my way to work or on my way home--not so much at home though--my wife claims it makes her skin crawl. Oh well.

Wishbone Ash - There's The Rub
(1974, MCA) KENDUN in the deadwax - mastering by Kent Duncan



Well produced, nice playing with that Wishbone Ash wall-of-guitars sound. a sidewalk sale grab at record store day.



Record Store Day on Saturday

I hit a couple of Seattle stores (Sonic Boom and Jive Time records) this afternoon. I didn't see any signs of the RS day exclusives by that point, but I did have some fun w/ crate digging the sidewalk sales with my son (found a baker's dozen @ 75 cents), checking out the lively crowded stores. We snagged some free pizza and heard some live music.

David Lindley - Mr. Dave
(1985, WEA/Warner) Japanese pressing; mastered by Doug Sax & Mike Reese at the Mastering Lab, Los Angeles.



another sidewalk sale grab on record store day. "Special Thanks to Jackson Browne without whose help this album would never have been finished."
