Inspired by my recent post exulting the warm recollections of Tubular Bells, I am taking delivery of my latest obi clad LP, the 1974 Japanese release YQ-7005-VR featuring a quite beautiful Exorcist obi strip. So...I couldn't resist and out came the obi strip emergency fund piggy bank*
I needed an extra boost, I've been feeling a bit brittle since being unwell, Wednesday night's brief flirtation with the Twins assisted in lifting my spirits but could not pull me completely out of current malaise.
*the piggy bank savings will one day see me pick up an original Japanese release Satori by the legendary Flower Travellin Band, you can pay £££ for a mint copy. I can wait.
And finally, the playlist...
This morning I was minded to listen to the following on the trusty iPod:
Queen of Spades - Styx
Tarot Woman - Rainbow
There Goes The Ships - Fire Spoken By The Buffalo
Close To The Edge - Yes
The Black Mass - Pagan Altar

One of my aunts had a record player just like that! Those were the days... that wonderful crackle and hiss of slightly warped vinyl...!
Steve - oh yes, ah the joys of vinyl and listening in the privacy of your own bedroom, and as I recall much to the horror of my parents
Am I alone in preferring CDs??? I hated all the crackles and pops and once they were scratched they were pretty useless. Never mind the horror of having a loaned LP returned with deep scratches and jumps galore. The only thing I miss about them are the sleeves, gatefold? Yes please...
