I could post hundreds of photos fitting this theme. Here's a small sample:
a bunch of Gordon Bok on Folkways, but I got tired of being buried in ballads. I only kept a couple favorites.
Who is the mustached artist on the black and white cover that is peering out from behind the guitar neck?
That is Sandy Nassan "Nassan" on Family Owl Productions label(no catalog number). It's a 1978 Direct-To-Disc recording, a nice fifty cent thrift shop find.

Even if some aren't in good enough shape to play, they are still incredibly impressive.
You guys are the real deal, true collectors. I am really impressed, thanks for sharing.
pass up the Mississippi Sheiks for $1 at an estate sale. This 78 in this condition usually sells for $130 on eBay. To be fair, the picture of this 78 in my initial post was prior to cleaning. I have included the before and after shots below after cleaning. The sad part is that I cracked the 78 while cleaning,but the crack only shows on one side. I applied Krazy Glue in the leading edge area to try and stop further cracking. I also stored the 78 with a stiff piece of cardboard behind it. Only three of the 78s pictured cost more than $1, and the rest like the Mingus were free.

I just don't have the $10,000 or $2000 to swing it. I will just have to settle for the LP compilations.
You posted many of my favorites. Whenever I point out a favorite to my partner she gives me the hairy eyeball. She says I "can't have that many favorites" but I think you understand.
Eclectic and cool, thanks for posting.

I used to listen to my mom's copy of that Johnny Rivers album when I was in high school.

Very nice, but where is the statue and who is the picture on the button?
Only my cat knows the fate of the 'statue'.

If you love the blues and you've never heard this one, do yourself a favor and find a copy. It doesn't get a lot better than that.

Ok, I'm going to need your address, and your vacation schedule.
Well maybe it is sacrilege, but as I am writing this, I am listening to some of my vinyl collection transfered to digital at 24/96. Starting with "Pearl" then Joe Jackson's "Body and Soul" & "Big World", Jennifer Warnes "Famous Blue Raincoat" and finally Johnathan Richmond's Back In Your Life". Going to finish the listening sesson with "Taste" and "The Album Soup".
Soup was a local band I saw play at a sock hop at the YMCA, when I was about 13.I have had their album in my collection for about 45yrs.
But your collection is really impressive. Thanks for sharing.
You are the ACOTD KING!

Quality trumps volume! You have that in spades. NICE!!!

The quality of your LPs is equally equal at least.
Your photos are MUCH betterer than mine.
BTW: Photobucket users, the quality of their stored files is deteriorating.
It is VERY noticeable in some of the photos I first posted above.
PLEASE don't use the word trump, even as a plural!!!

Today's listen is the eponymous first album by Chicago. In 1969 when I was a young smart-aleck I thought that Chicago was dreadful AM radio pop crap. Perhaps that's their only aspect that reached me in those golden days when the air was full of Airplanes, Mothers, Dead and Doors... Listening now to a mint copy picked up on the street in Amsterdam for 2 Euro (Dubbele plaat! - he refused to negotiate), in hindsight this is a fine album. Well composed and intelligent, the great musicianship suffers from massive overproduction but you can't go too far wrong with a powerful horn section behind a rock combo.
One has to really reeeeeach to "get" Sonny Sharrock. His playing behind Miles in the early psychedelic stuff is nonpareil, but Miles had a way of making his sidemen play better than they ever had. I wish I could afford a copy of the "Green Line" LP. A rarity!
Jack Johnson, the only recording he did with MD. The incredible 1970's guitar psych stuff with MD
was the magic of Pete Cosey and Reggie Lucas.
Sharrock IS an acquired taste, but much more easy to digest than the vocals of his (then) wife
Linda. Tough on the ears, she was easy on the eyes!
SS is one of my all time favorites. I have the Green Line LP here. Somewhere...

Your comments are on the money. The first LP is a fine one in my opinion. I lucked up and found a clean UK copy a little while ago and I find myself playing it through from front to back. The guitar, while not on the level of a Sonny Sharrock (what is?), is tasty none the less.
BTW, my first areana concert was Chicagos first tour in Philadelphia and I weas horrified at the acoustics of the Spectrum which was a basketball/hockey venue. It took me a while to attend another music event of that level.
Nice find, enjoy.

What you say is true about the Spectrum in Philadelphia, but that did not stop my enjoyment of the Who, Eric Clapton/Muddy Waters, and the Grateful Dead when I was getting my bachelor's at Temple Univ.

I realized after a while that sound quality was not priority for attending rock concerts. I did see the Airplane, Eric Clapton, Moody Blues, the Dead, Billy Cobham and other shows at the Spectrum and still enjoy those memories.For good sound it was the Tower, Bijou, Main Point and places on South Street.

I saw Frank Zappa and The Tubes at the Tower. Both shows were amazing shows!
