| A great has died Wow @petaluman, I’ll second @rpeluso’s perfect comment. The best summation of Garth Hudson’s character and talent I’ve ever read, and I’ve read everything ever written about The Band, my by far favorite musical combo (Rock ’n’ Roll or otherwise... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions @ozzy62: I picked a cube in which all the LP’s were single discs in non-gatefold covers, and counted them. How many LP’s will fit in each EKET cube (and any other storage rack) will of course be determined by how thick your LP packages are, how... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) @rayd and @slaw: That original Mom's Apple Pie cover was a result of no one at the record company noticing the female genitalia hidden inside the pie. No pun intended. | |
| Favorite Cover Album Bloody Mary's in the morning, beer in the afternoon, and whiskey at night. | |
| New In 2025 This reissue actually had a release date of 12-13-24, but I just found out about it. It’s Little Richard’s 1970 "comeback" album on Reprise Records entitled The Rill Thing, and from the report I heard (plus descriptions of it from it’s original... | |
| Favorite Cover Album I was standing at the stove this morning drinking a Bloody Mary and making breakfast while thinking about David Lynch (I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos regarding him since his death), when out of the blue The Band’s covers album Moond... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions I agree with you about the IKEA KALLAX shelving units. If you push on them from one side, the whole unit bends! If I was forced to use the KALLAX, I would install support bars across the rear. The KALLAX is also a little too deep for my liking,... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) @stuartk: Yep, I have Woodstock Vision, both the original 1994 edition by Continuum Publishing, and the 1996 edition that Landy published himself (LandyVision, Inc.). Both are 128 page paperbacks, with front covers different from each other and... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) The Band's second album. I would say that, wouldn't I? | |
| Favorite Cover Album This one took no thinking: Get It by Dave Edmunds, released in 1977. Dave is not much of a songwriter, so all his albums contain lots of songs written by others. That might sound like a major shortcoming, but Dave regularly delivered versions o... | |
| A great has died Here's a great little video about The Band (and Garth Hudson in particular) posted on YouTube about a year ago. The thoughts and feelings expressed by the video's maker align very closely with mine. https://youtu.be/eLBux4PNvl8?si=ij6_vJHXB... | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? @roxy54: Another thing we agree about is the Kinks’ Village Green album. I would have a hard time choosing it over Face To Face or Something Else, loving all three in their own way. Luckily I don’t have to! I got myself the expanded boxset ver... | |
| Axiom to remember @rvpiano: And you call yourself an audiophile! As Mazzy (Vinyl Community member and YouTube content provider Norman Maslov) puts it, "It’s the music, stupid." | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? The Kinks run of albums from 1966 through 1972 (Face To Face, Something Else By The Kinks, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur---Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire, Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround P... | |
| A great has died And so it ends. The oldest of the five members of The Band (born in 1937), Garth didn't smoke or drink. No one plays organ as did Garth, a true original. He was also a very interesting pianist, and a decent sax player. I'll be listening to al... |
