C>Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass -- Whipped Cream And Other Delights (196?,
C>A&M) There are still songs on this that I enjoy.
That's not PROG, man.
C>The Move -- Message From The Country (1971, Capitol) -- Well, I was
C>extremely surprised to find this, and it's in near mint condition. I'm
C>a collector of old ELO/Move/Idle Race/Roy Wood etc so this REALLY made
C>my day! Of course, I've already got this on CD (actually 2), but,
C>man, this is the original LP!
Cool cover, too. Love those fucking lizards.
C>Hotlegs -- You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think Of It (1970,
C>Phillips) -- This is an English import on the Phillips Sonic Series
C>label which sounds extremely good.
Cool. Do they still have another copy?
C>The Move -- "Flowers In The Rain" b/w "Here We Go Round The Lemon Tree"
C>(A&M) -- What a surprise! As I said before, I collect this stuff. Man,
C>I *never* thought I'd see this. It's not in mint condition or anything,
C>but it's not bad, really.
That was actually released in the States as a SINGLE? I didn't know that.
They were pretty thoroughly ignored, except that _Shazam_ sold a few copies.
I was digging through some boxes of 45s and there it was. As
C>you can imagine, the sound quality isn't the best, but that's not why I
C>bought it.
There's an RCA (Record Collector's Anonymous) Chapter near you. If you will
just ADMIT you have a problem, they can help you.
C>The Move -- The Move (1968, Repertoire) -- This CD completes my Move
C>collection.
Did they make any attempt to "modernize" the sound from that shitty mono
thing?
C>Yes -- Yesterdays (1974, Atlantic remaster) -- I had to get this for the
C>long version of "America." Plus, there are quite a few other tracks on
C>here that I like.
"America" is a classic. Different than, but as good as, any Yes song.
C>Magma -- Attahk (1976, Charly) -- This is a great one, if you like
C>Magma.
Hated it! Not really, but it didn't move me much.
C>Traffic -- Traffic (1968, Island) -- I haven't listened to this yet, but
C>I bet I'll like this. It was only $8 anyway.
Let me know what you think of it. I have been unimpressed. I think it's
next after _Mr. Fantasy_...
