John Perez of Solitude Auturnus?

Yeah,back before he became as successful with the BrainTicket label and mailorder,I used to get my cds and short lessons on doom and heavy rock history directly from the source.John is one of the reasons why I have been such a supporter all these years of Solitude.Back when he had the time,he was always willing to sit and talk for a while about doom and heavy music in general.

Of course I am happy for him and the cool fact that he can make a living doing something that he truly loves,but sometimes I miss just being able to call and have a short conversation about the latest doom releases and such.In fact though, I honestly do wish that Solitude could achieve more fans and fame,simply because they have more than paid their dues and deserve a place in heavy metal history IMHO.That is why I have been a tireless promoter, in a sense, of the band and written as much as I could about them.Maybe I should start calling myself Solitude Steve..... hmmm?

I have some great stuff on vinyl,some VITUS,CANDLEMASS,SABBATH,.......but Sad

,I have nothing to play it on Crying

I would really like to have one of those turntables with cd that you can record from,you can get the turntable cheap, but the one you can record from is like two hundred more Furious

Best Of has some great music on it, though,after that,my highest recommendations would be Look At Yourself and Demons and Wizards

Best contains one of my all time favorite Uriah Heep songs and one of their best IMHO,"Sunrise".

You don't need to spend that much money. All you need is a turntable and a separate phono pre-amp. Do a google search on phono pre-amps and you should be able to find one for under $50 (I bought a used one for $10 years ago). You then run the turntable into the pre-amp and out into the soundcard of your computer. Then you can use any .wav editor program to record the audio in (lots of freeware options out there).

Everything up to Wonderworld was great, after that albums got a bit patchy. Been a real return to form recently with the "Wake The Sleeper" album. Still my favorite remains "Look At Yourself", first heard it back in highschool in 1976.
