Been reading what’s on everyone’s turntable tonight and got to wondering…what’s your top 5?
Here’s mine: Dire Straits-Dire Straits Fleetwood Mac-Tusk The Police-Ghost In The Machine Eric Clapton-Unplugged Tom Petty-Wildflowers And All the Rest
@roadwhorerecords Bongo Fury ha ha . When I read that I had to pull out my copy and give it a spin. She's not quite 200 years old and still sound great. Thanks.
- Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy (First vinyl purchase with my own money all those years ago.)
- Ramones - It’s Alive (Recorded New Years Eve 1977 @ The Rainbow London. Originally purchased as a Dutch import early 198(?). Not officially released stateside until 1996. Say what you will, imo the greatest live rock n’ roll performance ever recorded. Full show-27 minutes. It’s on Youtube.
- Various Readers Digest box sets late 70’s early 80’s. Direct RCA/Columbia masters. (Thrift store find @ $4.00 a box. Obvious I was the first to take them out of their sleeves. As pressed condition.)
