only a few here will remember this.
but remember back in the 70s early 80s when you would go to the record store like a Grapevine or a Stax records or any mom n pop store that sold records, and you would try to make a decision on which one to get because you only had enough money to get just one

Then you would go home and tear the plastic wrap off< or not, some would leave it on and just tear the edge off as to save the album cover from getting crap all over it.

Then take the vinyl out and place that bad boy on your player, and jam away.

Then sometimes you would get an extra treat like a poster that was folded inside the album cover or a nice booklet with great concert photos of the band, or an album cover that you could open up and the inside would have a pop up design, the best one I saw of this kind was ELO's Out Of The Blue which was a spaceship.

and the best booklets I had were the ones from Kiss Alive and Kiss Alive II
Journey's Captured had a nice booklet and poster, and the most surprise poster I got in an album was one of DLR from the Van Halen Women and children first album.

long post but I was just reminiscing

I remember Led Zeppelin III had that wheel you could spin around to reveal the different pictures.

I mean, what's vinyl?

Lol, that is soooo my little brother 10 years ago, I sang this at Karaoke at his getting out of prison party, NO JOKE

Yep, it was my little brother who inflicted the song on me too! Funny that.

i read the other day that @mboone73 has begun taking care of his body better. so he might indeed drink 2 liters of water a day

I've always been a believer in hydration. Even when I wasn't taking so good care of myself.

If someone is doing a Research Task with me and fell asleep, please wake up we only have 2 more questions.

I should clarify this by saying he isn't a raging lunatic, I reported my car stolen (it was not where it should have been) and it was found, with him, and a whole lot of weed, he was 17 and not rich, in Texas....I would never have reported it had I known. On the bright side, I did not press charges for the vehicle, not that it did him any good.

 

[GTR]

can confirm ELO spaceship was cool....

Blondie 45rpm single sleeve for Heart of Glass was very inspirational to young boy as well...

YUM
and ELO Out of The Blue cover and album was really badass
my favorite song on it was The Whale

Debriefing: Haha, joke's on you, this was a university study all along!

Yeah, no kidding, I've never seen a business study with an IRB consent form at the start

Ugh. It's scrapping the barrel today (and probably the whole weekend) ... I'm going to go binge some of the new Ozarks season. I'll be back later to catch some of the weird evening stuff!

 

[mboone73]

I also bought the Can I Play With Madness single on vinyl because of this:

And the B side of Black Bart Blues was entertaining as well.

yeah I recall that one too, and Physical Graffiti was a pretty good cover as well

 

[Peachy]

Eh, with luck they straighten up eventually. Mine was pretty wild as a kid too, and now he's married and has two kids (eta: neither of which are true for me) and gives eerily good advice. Pretty much has his ish together. He gets mad when I tell him "it's like you're the older sibling now!" but, well, he pretty much is. I'm sure your brother will come around, if he hasn't already.

I'm a (sigh) millennial and I still do this. I have an extensive record collection, both old and new.

Those KISS booklets are amazing. I have one in Japanese around here somewhere.

I went to Mexico in 1980 for the Spanish class trip. Heart of Glass was playing on the radio all of the time, and I remember walking past a night club in Mexico City with the group during the day, and seeing and hearing a band inside practicing My Sharona. They were loud and kept doing the intro over and over trying to get it perfect.

Oh he has, he's married with 2 little girls and 2 stepkids as well. And ironically is the most straight laced, and uptight father ever. But I guess I understand that, he has all girls and he knows the kind if trouble people can get themselves in.
