    No, no. I got to thinking about when I started to actually like Dylan.
    This was the first, followed by his first and second? Freewheelin'
    Seemed like a good time to dig it out!

    Power of suggestion? The one I listened to was an original (mono) "2-eye" ;-)

    EDIT: Gotta love that Nikon SP rangefinder 35 mm camera on the cover... my son's got one (well, a Nikon S2); he loves it, too...

    Cat Stevens! Nice choice.

    I took my daughter to her voice lessons tonight. Drop her off and usually swing by the Goodwill to peruse the music. Mostly CDs today.

    Leonard Cohen. I'm Your Man
    Spyro Gyra. Road Scholars
    Jesus Christ Superstar. (I know some of you Boomers remember that)
    And a X-mas album in memory of my Father (who sang professionally in that era, at least he gave it his all)
    Bing Crosby's. Christmas Classics

    My son's hair is rather different - as a mathematician, he feels that its his responsibility to sport a pony tail :-P

    One of his best efforts for sure. Still looking for it on used vinyl every time I go bin crawling.

    My wife loves birds. I think she was a bird in a previous life.
    Gone with the Wind original MP soundtrack taken directly from the optical music tracks.
    1983 LP. Has the one sheet in it and the inner sleeve movie pictures and the story of the movie. Nice work.

    heh, I have - courtesy of my late parents - that album, as well -- the Anaria recording always weirded me out as a child.
    Anaria is a very interesting "space opera", in point of fact.

    Just received this in the mail today -- I was unaware of the existence of this version, half speed mastered (MCA Canada, apparently, eh?) of a (sadly over-played, over the decades) classic, but generally meh sounding album. The sound on this was simply astonishing to me (and I've owned myriad copies, on most formats, including 8-track[!] since it originally came out). The clarity of the vocals was particularly amazing relative to what I've grown used to.

    Now listenin' to Pete Townshsend's fine and (atypically) low key solo debut, Who Came First on silver Track label. I bought this album, used, for $2 at Record & Tape Traders in Towson, MD one fine late winter day (President's Day Monday, as I recall) way way back in -- roughly -- 1978 or '79. It still bears their little yellow sticker on the front of the jacket.

    A good investment of two dollas.

    (sorry I put the camera away...)
