So, what music are you listening to now?

If listen to To The One I Love and listen to the Decembrist album The King Is Dead you will hear the basic cords being laid down...not surprising considering the special guest guitarist.

Indeed. There are some REM'ish tunes on The King is Dead and Peter Buck's influence is clear. The King is Dead might be my favorite Decemberists album. Some of the earlier stuff, while good, is a bit pretentious with its folk story/sea shanty vibe.

Spinning now:
Cowboy Junkies - Pale Sun Crescent Moon

Rebreather ~ Half Speed Ahead

The vinyl version released in 1987 on Capitol when the first cds were issued. A digital sourced UK version on the Rainbow label, which I thought was very weird. I bought it in late 87 right before I ditched peace and love for the MIC lol. I think of this purchase as my last album from the real age of vinyl and my youth.

shit I am old that was 26 years ago!
my first copy of the album was the Apple label one I got for Christmas in 1976...which really makes me feel ancient.

for some reason this drugstore in Lorain (Marshalls) had Revolver, Hey Jude and Abbey Road for just $3.99 whereas in the other stores they cost about two to three dollars more. My old man grabbed them for me.

Revolver was one of the first albums I ever bought. Sears had a red tag sale - 10% off of any item. My grandma took me over.

My copy was the original (at least in the U.S.) Capitol Records. It was '67 or '68. I earned the money by digging the leaves out of the stairwell. (Not too many jobs for ten-year-olds then).

So much for the trip down Memory Lane. It was a heckuva introduction to the pop/rock music world. I listened to it again a few years ago, after I got into the vintage gear habit, and it was as if it was brand new again. What a ground-breaking album.

Yeah it is a great album...probably the best outside of Abbey Road....it has the best mix of all of their talents. I actually have the 7 1/2 isp Capitol factory reel from the 60s....I would sell that on BT but there is weird sort of drop in volume on one of the channels on the second side of the tape. I guess I need to test all of the tracks on an auto reverse deck.
