One of my more enjoyable albums is Spooky Tooth "The Mirror" I have the LP and CD, try to find the record if you can. Why these guys were a one-album wonder I'll never understand. While you're at it, see if you can hunt down a copy of Frank Zappa's "Does Humour Belong in Music". Best live album I've ever heard; if Frank's version of "Whipping Post" doesn't move you...nevermind. Buy these two.
Rare Music?
I am a newbie to this site but I have been observing for quite sometime. I don't know if this topic has been brought up before, but I thought I would give it a whirl.
Anybody got any Rare music, maybe by a known artist or a not so well known artist that you think others would enjoy? Or is anybody looking for a rare recording? Do you have Orginal Albums in mint shape that your proud to talk about?
I have been a fan of music all my life and rare recordings used to be a BIG hobby of mine but it seems that in the past few years, rare recordings have become pretty mainstream. It's not hard to find a Live "bootleg" (that ususally sounds bad anyway) or a "Japanese" import of an album marked up 30 bucks with the same songs as the domestic recording - or what about that rare B sides that just show up on a Box Set.
But when it was hard to find, it was fun.
e.g.,
I just noticed that the "Grand Funk Railroad - Survival" Album was just released on CD here in the US. I heard this album when I was a kid over and over again (the Quadrophonic Stereo recording I might add) and I haven't heard or seen it sinceand for a while there I was looking pretty hard.
Not that I am a huge GFR fan, but it sure would have been nice to find this when it was still hard to find.
