Living in Vermont. Mostly here for Phish talk and vinyl record collecting. Spinning records from the never ending search.
When The Royal Scam was released they pressed a translucent yellow version in Canada. I finally saw one had to buy it even though I am supposed to be on a break from buying records. Scrolling What Not and there it was. A beautiful NM copy. Perfectly flat and dead quiet.

The wonderful Ozzy Osbourne would have been 77 today. In 1982, he was arrested in San Antonio, Texas for peeing up the Alamo Cenotaph. Aghast police questioned him & asked "Would you do this up the walls of Buckingham Palace?" to which Ozzie replied "Of course I would!" #OzzyOsbourne

Bert Jansch-Jack Orion. 1971 1st US press of this 1966 UK release. Great record. You can tell why he was so influential when you listen to this.Jimmy Page almost not for note ripped off his arrangement of Black River Side and just changed the name to Black Mountain Side. He should have been credited

Up next this newly acquired 1977 repress. Why did I invest in another copy of LZ I? Because I really do have a problem. Also this is probably the cleanest sounding copy I have. These 1977 pressings really sound great and are much easier to find clean than the older ones. #nowspinning

Starting off the Friday work from home sessions with this great 1968 Blues Compilation. Really nice release from a label that didn’t last all that long #vinylcommunity #nowspinning

Headed up to Lake Willoughby today. It is crazy what that viral fall foliage pic has done to this amazing place over the last couple of years. The south end of the lake was jammed with people trying to take their best insta pic. It was totally ridiculous.

Getting the Friday work from home sessions rolling with this recent find. If you are building a collection just keep digging. It is amazing what you stumble in to in the wild. This album is like a security blanket. It is always what I need. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

@nowspinning the brilliant Dick Gregory. Recorded live in 1969 at the height of the Vietnam War, the turmoil of the civil rights movement and assassinations, A.I.M, and the other social and political upheaval of the time. It is remarkable how relevant this is 56 years later. I am sitting here/1

Marble Phrogg 1969 1st pressing. One of the rarest grail’s of the psych era records. 1969 OG press. There were supposedly only 200+/- pressed and this one was the first I had ever seen. I think I may sell this copy. A serious psych collector should have this. #vinylcommunity #nowspinning

This new Beato interview with David Gilmour is absolutely amazing. Maybe the best most thorough and interesting interview with DG ever done. In particular if you are a guitar player.

On a beach in South Jersey, Bruce is playing from a beach speaker in the distance somewhere. And I am reading this. Pretty nice day.

This is some very nerdy record shit. Definitely worth a read if you buy old records.
For anyone interested in identifying vinyl by pressing rings, here is the website by Tom Skipper. Great info. Scroll down halfway and be amazed. Now my friends, I need to go purchase a digital caliper... 😃

Ok Pam. The deep state is a guy in a pink shirt throwing a foot long turkey sub from Subway. Thank you for protecting us from this guy. Whats next? Is he going to throw a cookie at you?
The man charged for throwing a sandwich at a federal officer was a DOJ employee.
“This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,” Pam Bondi wrote on X.

My vacation in the Hebrides Islands last year was one of the best vacations of my life. I think about it often and this brought me right back there. Lone live the Highland Coos!
I think today is too hot for Gille Ban.

The Monkees- Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. 1967 1st press. This is a surprisingly good record. A really solid late 60’s psych/folk record. Check it out.
