Elvis record #2 from this last crate, equally bad looking vinyl but so far no skips. Noise? Yup.

Next up a series of Elvis records. Alas, none were looking great. I washed them all, and will hope for the best for either keepers or for sale. #vinylsky

Historia de la Musica Rock - Elton John (1982?) Appears to be a series and this is a Spanish “greatest hits” compilation #vinylsky

Billy Joel - Streetlight Serenade (1974) I don’t know this album - I thought I was pretty savvy on Joel’s works. Let’s see! #vinylsky

James Taylor - JT (1977) Ouch discogs classifies this as “soft rock” lol Still he has a great voice and a few songs off this album aren’t bad. #vinylsky

Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat (1971) I don’t know if this album has much I know other than Moonshadow and Peace Train on side 2 but it’s a keep based on those songs and the general fact it’s Cat Steven’s #vinylsky

We were very fortunate here in Central MA where I live. We got wind and rain from the nor’easter but it never escalated to a serious level. Waiting to hear the summary from my wife re: cape cod.

Question for #vinylsky #vinyl #records folks... Is it worth pursuing the equipment to play 78's? In this current batch I'm processing theres: A Chopin collection (these are in really excellent condition) A Sibelius collection A number of children's picture discs of children's songs All are 78's.

I am not a modern country-western fan *at all* but this is an exception. Hank Williams - Greatest Hits (1961) Let’s see if it’s skip free! Also I want to figure out if this is the ‘68 reissue. #vinylsky

The big bad nor’easter has done very little here so far in central Massachusetts. Some rain. Gusty winds but not even that impressive (yet). Trees that were starting to lose leaves lost a lot more. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Carpenters - Horizon (1975) This person really liked the Carpenters. #vinylsky

Peter, Paul & Mary - See What Tomorrow Brings (1965) A keeper. Another childhood folk group part of the tapestry of music in my mind. #vinylsky

140

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection (1971) Probably not a keeper for me but I’ll give it a listen to check for skips etc. #vinylsky

Carpenters - Now and Then (1973) Hoo boy do I remember hearing “Sing” about a jillion times as a child! If you’d asked me as a teen about the Carpenters my response 🤮 In my 50’s my answer is a bit different (for a lot of reasons). #vinylsky

ALT: Spongebob Thinking Hard

Ah yes ! A nice precode book has arrived for Top Shelf Friday tomorrow! The dilemma is whether to save it for October, as I want to post precode horror stories every day! Decisions, decisions!

Fifteen years ago I made a really smart decision and married the woman I took to the prom back in 1988. I’d do it again today! My wife is not on BlueSky but I will wish her a happy anniversary nonetheless! Here’s to many more years!

Ron Swanson: I Regret Nothing

Verdict: I am a bit stiff and my shoulder is more stiff where I got the vaccinations. My money is on the flu vaccine as that is traditionally my body’s reaction.

Paul Revere and the Raiders - Midnight Ride (1966) This is a re-release but I can’t find exactly when on discogs. Definitely a keeper. #vinylsky

Heyyyy I reached the crate of the Carpenters fan. 😏 I have like half a dozen of their albums to sort through. I have a greatest hits already & there’s a copy of that too. Carpenters - Ticket to Ride #vinylsky

What was your first computer growing up? Late 1980 the family got a used TRS-80, which we modified early on to have more RAM (48K, I believe?) The beginning of a life long obsession the roots of a later 30+ year career in IT.

Elton John - 11/17/70 Yes I confirmed this is the actual album this time! Haha! #vinylsky

CSN&Y - Deja Vu (1970) This one’s a gem and a keeper for me !! Sweet! #vinylsky

Covid and flu vaccines at CVS- it’s a madhouse here. The guy doing shots is fighting with his tech. 😑

Batch 3 Gene Chandler - Duke of Earl Perry Como - No Place Like Home for the Holidays The Jamies - Summertime, Summertime I decided against listing B sides this post they’re not well known songs. All 9 of these 45’s are clean sounding with no skips!😳 #vinylsky

Seen at That’s Entertainment in Worcester, MA. They are out of print (the company went out of business) so to speak.

45’s batch 2: The Ronette’s - Be My Baby/Tedesco & Pittman (more Spector produced stuff) Neil Diamond - Song Sung Blue/Gitchy Goomy B.T.O. - You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet/Free Wheelin’(instrumental) Barker’s was a dept store with a location in Dayville, CT (late 70’s/early 80’s) #vinylsky
