Guilty Pleasure recording?

I will date myself by this, and hate to admit to it, but one of the reasons that I love getting into vinyl now, is that there is some music that is not available digitally. I wish I could say I was talking about some legendary, sublime classic recording of a great orchestral performace, but instead in this instance I am talking about bad 80's rock.

Right now I am listening to my guilty pleasure record: The Producers "You Make the Heat". No one ever likes it as much as I do when I play it for them. Some have heard "She Shiela", but usually they have not heard the album before, and don't care to again. But I love it.

Anyone have bad, guilty pleasure records, that are not available digitally, probably because there is no demand?

Kjweisner,

The PFA was also one of the first recordings I ever purchased on my own. It was on 8 track however but I believe the little $25 red mono player I owned may have been an Ampex as well.

I graduated to cassette shortly thereafter followed by $200 SAnyo am/fm/phono/cassette integrated system shortly after that as well. That was a huge investment in music for a teenage kid back in the early 70's.

I own no funky colored vehicles however (so far).

Playing on Crik Fm The Lnyx Super 70's this very moment as I speak;

Reunion - "Life Is A Rock, But the Radio Rolled Me"

Guilty as charged......

I love both the producers albums. There. I said it. Another is the knack get the knack. I get in weird moods where I listen to 70's soft rock a la hall and oates, seals and crofts etc. Queen the game *- especially dragon attack. Oh boy. Now that I have outed myself please don't tell my friends my reputation will be ruined.

Hey Mapman!

Glad to know I wasn't the only one w/the PFA! I never did get the school bus. . . but I did own three VW buses over the years. My vehicle choice tracked the evolution of both my musical and "recreational" tastes, growing up in the 70s in Florida.

"Life is a Rock,". . .a staple at the roller skating rink where we'd hang out after school in the 8th grade. But now that tune and those lyrics are stuck in my head. "CBS and Warner Brother, RCA and all the others. . . "

Here's another for the ages:

Smoke of a Distant Fire by the Sanford Townsend Band. . . I don't own it but it sure fits the standard.

Guilty your honor. . . no possibility of parole.

"Life is a Rock" and Queen "The Game" I am on my way to the Cactus records to look through the $1 bin. Good calls. I don't think those have been re-issued on 180g vinyl.
