Zombies – R.I.P. vinyl 302 067 266 1; GET
Don’ t know about the history but this follow-up to ‘Odessey and Oracle’ is solid with some of my favorite Zombies tunes on it

Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All vinyl ZR 3853; GET
Even mild Zappa fans will like this pressing

Wishbone Ash – Argus SACD UIGY-9619; PASS
This is a GET for anyone with a CD/SACD player

Tomorrow - Tomorrow mono vinyl PPMC 7042; GET
I like this better than the stereo version

Taste - I'll Remember For CD set 472 269-7; GET
This one is a bit pricey. TONS of extras push this over the edge but
for me, the Original releases are best.

Compilation - Psychedelic India vinyl RGNET1332LP; PASS
Good stuff. The download card with the 16-minute ‘A Mystical Morning’ (Featuring John McLaughlin) made this a get for me.

Compilation – Psychedelic Salsa vinyl RGNET1304LP; Fail
For hardcore Psychedelic Salsa fans only even with the download card with extra tunes. Still hoping this catches with the Wife.

King Crimson – Live at the Orpheum CD/DVD-A; Pass
Sounds great on my spinner. Good new singer. Drums for days, but I miss BB’s touch. The fact that it happened at all was exciting. Maybe for completests.

Hawkwind – Hawkwind vinyl RP1 168750; GET
Never owned a copy so this was an easy get for me
