Latest vinyl finds Dec 20/08 - From Patti Smith Group and Dire Straits to Strawbs
I just bought another well-kept set of records through the local classifieds at one buck a piece. Although there are several genres, you will notice a rather progressive theme in that person’s collection. Both Strawbs and Wishbone Ash were new to me, but I like them for what they are. Finally I have a mint copy of Blondie’s Parallel Lines. Neil Young’s Comes a Time sounds fantastic. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to listen to Iron Butterfly without thinking of another rendition: “In the Garden of Eden, baby!”
