Santana - Lotus

3LP set recorded live in Japan in '73. Listening to record 3. A lucky and surprising VG+ thrift find a couple of years back. Even without the poster and inserts, it's a lot of music for 99cents.

Rush - Hold Your Fire

an HPB find this weekend. A favorite Rush title, even with the pretentious lyrics or maybe because of them? First time listening to this album in the LP format.

Jackson Browne - self titled
(1972, Asylum)



Great record, great songs. Actually it _is_ self titled. People called it Saturate Before Using by mistake because that's whats on the burlap water bag on the cover art. Jackson explains how the cover was designed and how the titled got mixed up in a fun clip here:

So it is. You learn something ever day.
