A Revelation ...

Posted by reelsmith. (A) on August 3, 2012 at 16:13:20

I've owned the second BS&T album since I was a kid and have always liked it. Over the past 35 years or so I've been told countless times that I needed to get the first album, the one with Al Kooper ...that was the hot one.

This week I was in a pawn shop on my lunch hour and I found what looked like a NM or better copy of "Child Is Father to the Man" ...but it was ten bucks.

TEN BUCKS !

I brought it to the front counter and did my damnedest to get the price down, but she wouldn't budge a nickle.

I'm so accustomed to records being two or three dollars in these shops that paying ten bucks just seemed nuts.

Then I thought about it ...if I found a nice one on FleaBay it would be at least five bucks and with postage nine bucks.

So, I bought it ...and am very glad I did.

Not only is it NM ...but I really dig the tunes and this record sounds soooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin' good !

I have no idea what took me so long to buy one ...but I'm glad I can check it off the list.

So, have you ever done that? Known about an album for a long time that you would probably enjoy, but for some reason just never got around to buying it and when you did it was one of those "ah ha" moments?

This is one of my best purchases this year.
