Thread: Show us your Music Collection in albums.

^ no problem. It's one of my hobby interests among a few others that help me pass the time.


Now for an album cover to contribute to the thread.

Here's an album titled "Rain on a Conga Drum - Live in Berlin" from Townes Van Zandt. Allmusic summarizes Townes as "Among the most widely admired and influential Texas songwriters, an alt-country godfather with a dry, witty, allusive writing style." He was a favorite of Bob Dylan's and was known as a song writer's song writer. I've got several of his albums and compilations in my collection.

License plate # ha-ha-ha. Good on you, Terry !

The covers were a big attraction and the physical presence of the album. As far as reproductive quality it was not all that flash compared to today.

That's irrelevant though innit.

Christ, were going back 40 years here Blue.

I only offed my Albums 5 years ago after lugging them around for 40 odd years.

Sometimes one just has to let go Huh. Nearly killed me to sell EM. Let my mates go through them and take the cream.

In Bangkok Vinyl is huge, Imports are worth a wedge of money. Quality turn tables worth Thousands of dollars for Top end stuff.

" Fortune Town " at Rama 9 has specialist shops with massive collects of Vinyl and Top end turn tables.

And try rolling a spliff on an MP3.

Did it feel like that at the time though?

If so then good for you.

For me, I was mostly ripped (in the old sense of the word) and wondering how I'd get through my exams without having done any work.

And I considered that 'pressure'.

Desert island stuff:

a sampling of covers

These very large pics - a PITA!

My better half banishes me to the "club house" if I need to be loud. Could be worse, actually its all right.

The Zenith still rocks in all tube sound.

One of my first. Still mint cause I always wanted to keep it.

Brilliant room mate, love all that wood work.

'Cause it's beggar"s day.

I refinished it myself years ago. Was an chicken loft. Below is 2ft thick walls field stone old milk house. Still has the "MR. Ed door." Got A/C and heat. Like the song goes"I could hold out here all night." Glad I have the time to add a few pics. Just came off a twelve hour night.

I thought I heard some dynamo hum.
