BTW, is there a story about the El Paso to San Francisco... thanks.
Just a short one. I stayed in El Paso 2000/ 2001 for training at the German (Air Defense) Rocket School (RakSLW). In December 2000 my sister came over to visit, and together we drove from Texas to San Francisco. We passed through New Mexico, Nevada and California. Las Vegas was dull somehow, never liked that place much, have been there twice. But our last stop, before getting to SF, was in a little town in northern CA, called Bishop. We always say that we want to visit there again some day. Stayed in SF for three days, the usual things, Alcatraz, China Town, Goden Gate and Fisherman´s Warf. SF was nice, back then, don´t know about today.
We drove highway 101 on the way back, that was great! Just passed through L.A. and then back on I 10 to El Paso.
All in all great trip. Death Valley is really that - DEAD, never been to place that really is quiet, so much so you hear your blood rushing through your ears...

The covers condition matches the albums title - battered, but the black is ok. The cover-artist obviously knew a thing or two about how shot-guns work...

Usually not my kind of music, but other people wanted to feed this one to the trash. You wouldn´t expect it by looking at the cover, but it´s actually well preserved and quiet.

They did not approve of this remix-album, Annie Lennox stated. It was made by the label to cash in, and that´s what it sounds like too. Wanted to give it a try... well - meh.

I like Dream Theater and I like The Flower Kings. I think both complement each other nicely. One´s softer, the other a bit more on the metal side. And both good stuff!!

@AndreG. atta boy! Step outside that box!
I´ve had their greatest hits collection for years, and liked it. This one, I got in that swap for some laser discs. Then I have one other Album, played it a while back. I´m sure they´ll multiply from here on out. 😄

First CD, nice and quiet songs. I´m still looking for their old stuff on vinyl - scarce in good condition...

I´m full. How about You, George? Those would make fine specimens for modding, might even give Your EVOs a run for their money. 😉

Last side skips... Goes back for another one...

Edit: Closer inspection, using a magnifying-glass, revealed a piece of dirt that didn´t wash away. All clean now and playing sweet!!

Second LP from the LP/LD exchange:
https://www.discogs.com/release/371966-Queen-A-Night-At-The-Opera
Side two is a little roughed up, I guess we all know why, right? First Queen vinyl in my collection, the prices asked for, what is imho junk, is just to high, that´s why I didn´t get any so far. This one´s not bad and it didn´t cost much.

In my opinion the Mad Hatter usually pulls good stuff out of his hat. This time it´s my first VDGG. Some parts are not easy for me to listen to, 12 tone disharmonics... didn´t like it at school, this is rather demanding in some parts. Something new to me:
