The 45 RPM reissues of Doug MacLeod's Come to Find and Mighty Sam McClain's Give it up to Love.  Two gorgeous sounding albums that really benefit from the 45 RPM format.
Well, my mistake after all.  The Bob Dylan album is a brand new copy and it was a gift back in early 70s.  However, it is not from the first press as I had thought.  It's a 1975 press, and is from Columbia Records.  It's very quiet vinyl and the recording quality is rather good.  Nice discovery!

Speaking of "Tommy", that makes me want to play it later today.  I have a new copy from Geffen Records.  It's quite good, but not as good as the original master tapes pressings.  However, better than my bashed up copy from the old Magnavox console that had a finishing nail for the stylus.
I saw The Who do the North American Tour of Tommy in the Summer of 1969.  That is the same concert series from which "Live At Leeds" was recorded.  Then, I saw the North American Tour of "Who's Next" in 1971.  Then, I saw the North American Tour of "Quadrophenia" in 1972.
Man, what memories!!!
