Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT X and my love of punk run very deep.

this is one of my most prized possessions. First pressing (oversized jacket and misprints in all their glory) of the debut album of the greatest band of all time. The were my first concert as a 16 year old kid in LA at the Hollywood Paladium. Changed my life forever.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle Wow dude, what a first concert! I can see why that album has meaning to you. I’ve got the Animal Boy LP I’ll try to get a pic later and post.

thanks. this 45 has quit the interesting story behind it. worth a google if your not familiar with it.

Beatiful LP @endo .

My Maxi-LP haul in my favourite vintage record store this weekend.

Duran Duran- Notorious

Simple Minds- The Amsterdam LP

(The ‘Sign O’ The Times’ cover of Prince,
who I love, was unexpected!)

[GraemeE]

Received this as a gift in the mail from a friend earlier this week - the James Brown cover is my favorite tune so far

Having issues posting pics but today's Haul was too good not to share

@Aetas - I was reminded by your post that I needed the Beat in my collection

@GraemeE more great stuff. Love that Byrds album and the Gram Parsons. There’s a great tribute record out there called “Return of the Grievous Angel. A Tribute to Gram Parsons”. I think I had the cd. Great covers

[Nocturama]

@Aetas - not that I own a CD player any more, but I have the 3” mini-CD from 1989!
Just listening to the song now - streamed of course!

@GraemeE that Birds album is great, so much effort used to go into covers!

[Steve]

The songs on this album aren't particularly sensual, I feel it was just a chance to get a semi naked woman on the cover, which seems quite common for disco/funk albums of the 70s!!!

[SKT]

@Steve @GraemeE Here are a few covers that I think are cool. And I do miss the art and effort that went into an album’s design.

[SKT]

@Steve Disco Erotica! 70’s must have been fun

[SKT]

[Steve]

@SKT That Stones cover is fantastic. I'm gonna have to look out for that one!

[GraemeE]

@SKT - I don't own it yet but Satanic Majesties is probably my favorite stones album artwork

[SKT]

Few more that I find visually interesting
Prince & The Revolution-Around the World in a Day

Talking Heads-Little Creatures

Little Feat-Sailin Shoes

[GraemeE]

I'm going to have to listen to that Prince based on the artwork alone and am huge fan of the Talking heads - this will be a good theme for my listening today (choosing albums with visually pleasing artwork )
Based on this my morning will continue with these:

Scott Walker - 3
Nick Drake -Pink Moon
Soft Machine - Self Titled
