Tarheel Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 An old friend (known him for 57 years) gave me three large boxes of LPs a couple of months ago. I haven't had the inclination to look at them until today while stuck inside with the wind and rain. A lot of popular music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I wasn't expecting much but I put two albums I know well through a double spin of the record vac and antistatic brush. Americas Greatest hits and Toto....stuff you know by heart. Surprise! Both sounded great! Got a lot of cleaning to do...maybe 80-100 albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanm84 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yeah totally cool! Just getting to go thru the boxes and seeing what is in them would be a great afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Nice gift, indeed. Might make me want a turntable again, I say again, might. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) A copy of Led Zeppelin with no name on the cover and Jimmy Buffett Living and Dying in 3/4 Time cleaned up well. Always thought Buffett was a little, how do I say this, bubblegummy but I always liked this album and was happy to find it. Some of these recordings are quite good.....better than I remember Learned that Livingston is still in Texas. Oh and I forgot about the contractor's yard bag full of LPs.....maybe 50 more. Even a new Michael Jackson for thebes. Edited April 20, 2014 by Tarheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornman Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Great to have friends. I hope & probably bet that Linda Ronstadt LP sounds better then the CD version I just bought. Enjoy you beach walker... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth2 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Always thought Buffett was a little, how do I say this, bubblegummy but I always liked this album and was happy to find it. He gets infinitely better on a warm, sunny day and after a few rum drinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes sir Earl he is a good story teller....like the song God's Own Drunk. I guess when he moved from Key West to Hollywood Hills he lost some street cred. Anyway Sunday was a lot of fun sorting through my bounty....cleaning and playing LPs that I haven't heard in many years. Even had duplicate copies of Jim Croce's You Don't Mess Around With Jim and Ozark Mountain Dare Devils. A lot of vintage vinyl at a great price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peshewah Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Nice gift. The old Marshall Tucker I think is hard to find, its a good album. ...... Nope I was wrong. I was thinking of the album call "A New Life" Edited April 21, 2014 by peshewah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
