Dave1290 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Those lil Sprites were cool rides! Time to GO! Richard Wright - Wet Dream from 1978 and a great lil slab of vinyl for his first solo LP! Oh heck ya why not? Quiet Riot? Sure why not? From 1983 Randy Rhoads and the gang! Since it's Xmas and I love stirring the pot a bit. Pulled out a Queen LP today and found this tucked neatly inside with the 45. Yea, I remember now but had forgotten allll about it! Don't worry though it's gotta be fake. Hey @Emile since ur the resident Queen expert how about a COA on this one? Hahaha! Guess someday I'm gonna have to start going thru album jackets. Was always my favorite place to stash things for safe keeping. I wonder how much old blotter is bringing today? hahahahaha Merry Christmas everyone! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Was not aware of certain past experiences Butch. A brother a past mechanic. Threw his hammer one day and quit, and whent on to other choices. Restored Spitfire 1500 this year, a 76 MG Midget. Could have used your experience on the British carb, plunger type and the timing with abstract timing mark info. Do my own Volvo as can do some. Cool and thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool and thanks The Austin Healey 3000 had twin SU carburettors Square Volvo’s also had an SU carb Easy to service and tune as a single unit But one needs a special vacuum measuring tool to calibrate the two carbs so they can work in sinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe a bit. Ha. We've all been there! We're all big kids now. Different place. @billybob, et. all Isn't the 6th degree just part of this place though? Just stating fact not hammering you at all. Pretty much sucks at times when it happens too. That's exactly why I posted the Queen cover. Gotta have that pic yanno or it didn't happen. Gimme a break kids. This place should be beyond that crap. Never in a million years would I take a serious shot at anyone in here. Family sharing a wealth of knowledge, laffs and good times is what it is to me. I think most of us in here feel the same way, which imo is a great thing. Lou Reed? Who dat? Walkin on that Wild Side? 1972? Velvet Underground? Bowie? Glam Rock? Well H3LL ya! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we learned from the manual engine handbook, eventually. There were twists and turns and some swearing my brother. Wish I had known your Mechanic background. He is not keen to do another one. Too bad, as I rather enjoyed the convertible, and the gearbox...Cheers BTW, you had asked me a couple of years ago about how I liked Little River Band when posted an lp of theirs. Sorry, as I just saw it and abit tardy in answering. Was married when they were on the radio and was a favorite. Those were the days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Question Mark & The Mysterians from 1966. Garage band from Bay City Michigan hit #1 with 96 Tears. One of the first "Punk Rock" groups. Sweet lil album too. Forgot how good it was actually. REO? Of course... Just WHICH one to play though??? Nope, can't tune a fish! Their 7th released in 1978! Great LP! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Reed stole the song Sweet Jane from me. He did it very cleverly by stealing it 30 years BEFORE i wrote it. Was noodling around with a guitar at my brother’s pad and he said, “Oh, Sweet Jane.” I didn’t know what he was talking about and he said, “That sounds like the song Sweet Jane.” So, i had to check out the song and sure enough, the opening was a match. Still not sure how Lou did it ... tricky fellow. 😂 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a 45 written by Freddie about his cat who's name was Cool Cat. My go to girl had about 10 or so and gave me one. This woman worked her entire life in the business and has darn near every artist that ever lived on something. Beatles first US tour? Yup all kinds of stuff. Sinatra, every rock artist. Walking into her house is like walking into the Rock Hall in Cleveland. Never married and promised me I was the one but hasn't set the date yet! lol Love her to death. Emile would always close his evenings w/Brian May so yup I suppose Full Range would work too. Prolly related somehow waaaaay back when. lol 21 minutes ago, BigStewMan said: Live You Get What You Play For is one of the best live LPs that i’ve ever heard.
