I'll have to order that one. After learning about what Chad has been doing with the Blue Heaven recording studio I'd like to start collecting some of those on CD including some that we heard at Acoustic Sounds.

Acoustic Sounds Stash...
I spent most of my sparetime this weekend starting to spin some of the stash I'd picked up either at Acoustic Sounds or the record stores in Lawrence. So little time, so much good music. Some of the highlights included Lightning Hopkins "Goin' Away" (one of the LP's we listened to on the Avalons at Acoustic Sounds), Joni Mitchell "Blue" (again, heard it on the Avalons), Mississippi John Hurt "Today" (GREAT acoustic music!), Otis Span "Otis Span IS the Blues", Sara K "Waterfalls", Sonny Rollins "Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders", and Donald Fagan's "Morph the Cat" which really has me joneszin' for the upcoming release of "Aja"!

Can you say SCORE! Nice job.
Along those lines I spied this little gem in a record store we were browsing in Lawrence during the National Get Together. Not quite the bargain that you got Huey, but I remember reading that "Blue Hawaii" was a highly sought collectable, so when I saw a VG rated copy for $28.00 I snatched it up. Got back home and was looking it up in my Goldmine catalog and about soiled myself when I matched the cover description and pressing number up and found out it was worth freakin' $800.00! Holy Cow, I thought, major score, but then I started reading the fine print and that price was for the version released on blue vinyl. My "Basic Black" copy is only worth about $80.00, still more than what I had paid for it, but really dashed my feelings like I was the lady that found a Jackson Pollok painting recently at a yard sale. Shoot!
And no, I haven't listened to it yet, haven't even cleaned it.

Love my vinyl "luck" as well !
Tim, I know what you mean, thanks to Rayguns suggestion, my purchase of Pete Townsend and Ronnie Lane's "Rough-Mix" , on the Polydor label turned out to be damn near peeeeerfect !! It cleaned up beautifully. Having Eric Clapton along with Grahm Lyle and others makes this LP a keeper for sure.
Thanks Ray !!!

More vinyl from the National Get Together
I'm still spinning vinyl from the National GTG, both from Acoustic Sounds and the shops in Lawrance. This morning it's been Harry Belafonte "Belafonte Sings the Blues", Miles Davis "The New Miles Davis Quintet" and the Dears "Gang of Losers" - kind of like Blur meets Radiohead, creepy, dark and delicious!

Yes it's on there, it's one of the better tracks. Green Days version of Working Class Hero is also great.
The project was put together to bring attention to the violence and uprising over the last 4 years in Darfur. Very ugly situation over there.

Not really Sunday morning music, but more like Sunday afternoon music. I needed some inspiration to mow the lawn, so nothing like some good ole rock and roll! I started with Last Train Home. First was their CD, "Last Good Kiss", followed by "Bound Away". If you haven't heard them, you are missing out. I recommend starting with "Last Good Kiss".
I then went to some real old vinyl. Older than Joey! First up was Cactus, "One Way...Or Another". I love this album. The song "Feel So Bad" has one of my favorite guitar solos of all time, using the wah wah pedal. Finally, I put on Joe Walsh, "Barnstorm". What can be said about this album that hasn't already been said. Very impressive via the MLs!

Nuthin...I took down my CD player and Preamp to get ready for the new Wadia that was supposed to arrive on Saturday. I went to the bank on Saturday morning to get the cash for the transaction but when I arrived at the bank they had already locked the doors for the day, an hour earlier than thier regularly scheduled time, supposedly in honor of the 4th of the July. I was kinda ****ed since they were already closed on Wednesday, the actual 4th of the July.
Anyways, I'll just wait until next Sunday for seriuos Sunday Morning Music. See ya next week.

I despise the title of that album. Talk about massaging you ego. (the creators, not buyers)

Cherian,
Picked up the Jethro Tull Title on your recommendation. 24 tracks of Pure Audio Bliss. Great F'n cd. Must have for any Tull fan. Great tunes that sound great on the ML's.:music:
Thanks for the Recommendation
This thread is costing me a fortune.
Just won a DVDa copy of Riding With The King on Ebay for $21 based on Craigs recommendation.
