Whats on your turntable tonight?

The vinyl from my youth, unfortunately, became rather thrashed and I gave those away many years ago.  Even then, I repurchased several.  And now, I have repurchased a number of those titles either as reissue or NM/M- in a used record.  Those memories, they are something special.

Note; I saw Iron Butterfly in 1971.  I believe that was their tour for the release of the album "Ball".  Very entertaining concert.  I purchased a fairly clean copy of "Heavy" last year.  That was their very first album, before "Inagadadevida" (is that even spelled correctly?).

I didn’t start buying records and cassettes  until 1972 because I had to use “my own money” .  Parents objected to my music.  I still have every record I ever bought except for a few on long term loan to my little brother.   They’re in surprisingly great shape except for a few that made the rounds in college dorms.  Those have duplicates.   I always used a Discwasher and the fluid that came with it.    I think it worked pretty well.    
I inherit junky vinyl sometimes and it usually goes to neighbors garage sales.  
I love my records.  As often said, I have many good memories associated with my records and tapes.  

I want to add that I have my parents’ and grandparent’s (33s and 78s) records.  There aren’t that many and they’re frankly pretty bad (“Music for Dining” and that kind of stuff) but the covers are nostalgic.  I was fascinated by them as a kid.

I as well James. I have quite a few LP’s that by my standards today, were simply mishandled way back in the 60’s & 70’s. I’ve considered replacing them with cleaner versions, but there is an odd sentimental memory of hearing the same clicks and pops today that I’ve been used to for years, and reminds me of my friends gathering in my room spinning records….and of course…getting stoned 😉

Brian, i never inhaled…
