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!”
