Yeah, I'm totally diggin' it. I have all three by the Experience. I love 'em all, but I gotta say I think the debut is probably my favorite at this point. Axis is stellar, though I feel some of the songs are cut short before they really are ready to be over, if you know what I mean. "Little Wing" is probably the most obvious example - when it fades out, I'm feeling like Jimi is just warming up! It's easy to see why he and Chas Chandler parted ways after that - Chas never would have let him rip for 16 minutes on "Voodoo Chile"!!

Happy Birthday haul!

CD:
CHEAP TRICK - Rockford

VINYL:

YAY!!!! Seems most copies I find of this are tore up, dirty and mangled. White album covers don't tend to stay clean very easy. I had just as hard of a time finding a good copy of Aerosmith - Draw the Line.

Nice haul, bro!

The Thin Lizzy disc is a bootleg, not the album of the same name. It's a great bootleg featuring material recorded in '76 and '77. There are 3 discs in the "Remembering" bootleg series.

No, you have the copy with gaps. I just got the new one. I'll have to burn it for you. Check out the one I sent already though. It's an outstanding show. More than half the songs are covers.

Oh yeah, forgot about those.

Ah, I see. Cool, I shall do so today.

Yep, I gots me DA FEVER! Plus, just ask ult, there are no less than 10 used record stores nearby, so...it's a way of life!

And, since we're on the subject, here's yesterday's naughty boy vinyl haul:

DEEP PURPLE - Made in Japan
DEEP PURPLE - Made in Europe
HUMBLE PIE - On to Victory
JUDAS PRIEST - Point of Entry (w/ pic sleeve)
KISS - Rock and Roll Over (cover is in EX condition, but no stickers)
KISS - Gene Simmons (w/ pic sleeve and order form, but no poster)
KISS - Ace Frehley (w/ pic sleeve, but no order form or poster)
KISS - Peter Criss (w/ pic sleeve, insert and order form, but no poster)
KISS - Paul Stanley (w/ pic sleeve and order form, but no poster)
MARILLION - Misplaced Childhood (beautiful cover!)
TED NUGENT - Free For All
TED NUGENT - Cat Scratch Fever

Nice haul. Keep an eye open for a Mint copy of the KISS - Ace Frehley album cover for me. I have a copy with the record, pic sleever, poster and order form in mint condition, but the cover has a corner cut, which as you know, is annoying!

Think I am going to send you $15 for that Ace Frehley pic disc too. Next time you run into that store, can you check and see if it's still for sale behind the counter bro?

I'll keep my eyes open for cheap copies of the solo albums with the posters/order forms.

picture sleever?

Yep, I do. I had to sort through several yesterday to find ones without that stupid corner cut. I'll watch for another Ace for you.

When I was in there on Wednesday it was gone, so some bastard probably snagged it. If you want to send me some coin for that Amboy Dukes you wanted, go ahead and do that though, because I'm tapped out for awhile - Michelle and I had a "financial discussion" this morning, so I won't be spending much from here on out it looks like...

Great release! The booklet is a reproduction of the Born Again tour book. Gillan and Sabbath were such and odd pairing, but man did it work. I actually saw this tour too. It was the first time I had seen Sabbath.

Picked this one up cheap on Ebay. White vinyl is cool!

I just picked up the one on ebay from that second link you sent me. I used the "Buy it Now" option, since I hate auctions and, even if I won at the lowest price, it would have been the exact same amount!

Thanks for the heads up, dood.

Awesome! Always loved the cover art on the first album. Even thought about getting that angel tattoed on my arm.
