A few CDs...

edited November 2008 in The Clubhouse
I've been the beneficiary of a couple of karmas over the years, so when I discovered I had some duplicate copies of CDs I thought I would send them to someone else here on the forum. I have 5 CDs for karma.

3023727106_c49af07079_o.jpg

Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach - Maybe their best studio album.

Allman Brothers Band - Beginnings - Basically their first two studio albums (The Allman Brothers Band & Idlewild South).

Joan Osborne - Relish - I don't care if you think her single "One Of Us" was pop fluff...this is a kick **** album that is very well recorded. White girl blues and she has some great vocals. Her band is made up ofa couple of guys from The Hooters. This is one of my favorite albums.

Elton John - Elton John - His debut album. a true classic.

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection - This may be his finest album as well.

The CDs are used but all are in very good shape. I hope someone wants these.

Here are the rules:

At least 3 months on the forum and 25 posts before today. You may pick a single album, multiples or all of them to be in the drawing...however...only one per person. All I ask is that you tell how you have helped someone on this forum... NO BS...a real example. I will draw names in about a week.

    Great karma thanks for offering it.

    Not sure if these things count as far as helping a member goes, if so In for all. If not it's all good either way. I sent a member that needed one a preamp for the cost of shipping, and have donated $$ to practically all charitable causes here.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Great karma!

    Ah, yes, you should count him in twice for all the help he gave me on my chemistry. Was certainly much appreciated!


    Wow, that's a great karma. Not in, but somebody's getting some cool music.

    I have never helped anyone, and I just joined yesterday. Please include me in your drawing.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    I forgot to mention who I helped in my "in" post. (the Joan Osbourne CD)

    well, I got big dave into this hobby in the first place.....or course, wether that is "help" is up to debate :rolleyes::p

    also, the fact I have pretty much been nominated as Big ted's northereast audio deal liason would probably count as helping a board member. year 1, 160lbs of speaker.....year 2 200 lbs of amp. I see a frightening trend developing here :D

    In for all. please.

    As for whom I have helped, I forget who it was (and I have deleted all the pm's), but someone was just starting up with contact lenses and needed some further advise that they weren't getting from their doctor's office, and I filled in the blanks for them.

    The drawing has been completed. It was done in an extremely hi-tech method. Each name was written on a piece of paper based on the titles you indicated you were "in" for. Each name was cut out and wadded in a tiny ball and placed in a Longaberger Basket (hand made in the USA and used to be somewhat "collectable" according to my wife). A name was drawn for each title. Once a name was selected it was removed from any subsequent drawing. Like I said...very hi-tech. :rolleyes:

    And the winners are:

    Eat A Peach - ESAVINON

    Beginnings - Fongolio

    Relish - Hearingimpared

    Elton John - bigaudiofanatic

    Tumbleweed Connection - Fireman32

    Congratulations to the winners. Please send me your mailing address and I will get the CDs to you ASAP.

    Thanks to all for participating.
