^Nice!
I recently sprung on a copy of The Hobbit with illustrated booklet for the Rankin/Bass animated film from 1977, but have yet to sit down and listen to it.

Picked this up several weeks ago.
Spun it awhile back.
It’s an instrumental Prog Rock album by Swedish musician Bo Hansson.

That’s really cool to be seeking this stuff out, DuX.
I can’t believe people would ever sell.
I’ve enjoyed these, (and more), since I was a kid.
These are the stories that literally shaped my very being.
In fact, as I look over this menagerie of memories, I see my childhood hands stacking these, in special order, in the automatic cabinet turntable,
and just now am realizing the direct effect these particular stories have had on many major life decisions I have made over the decades!
I can literally hear Rip Van Winkle lamenting his lost life now…
-Uh oh, what have I uncovered here?!
This is a funny thread, DuX.
You have unique taste, indeed.
It’s fun to dig around and get inspired to spin more!
OK so I inherited a turntable and al of my father in laws vinyl when they moved into a new house.
I had been trying for over a year to get the damn thing working with my amp and speakers to no avail.
Its audio out cable comes from deep inside it and it still has a forked wire ground...
So finally got it spinning and connected, but it sounds like shit. When I had gotten it hooked up I had ordered Jason Isbell's Weather Vanes and that was the first vinyl I purchased in years. https://jasonisbell.bandcamp.com/album/weathervanes it spun and came through but sounded lousy.
A few months ago Someone mentioned they had found a cheap turn table online and I looked and sure enough there was a belt drive audio tecnics for $100. I was sold. Got it home and hooked it up right before thanksgiving.
WOW
SO my father in law has some gems. I had seen Sgt Peppers and Disraeli Gears in the crate when I first brought them home but there is more.
Right at the end of November after everyone was in bed I put this on and OMG![]()
Deep oily goodness
just loved it.
Been cycling through some of the other gems
Found out there is a groovy record store in the next town over. So fun to visit record stores again.
So as my first purchase now that I have a system that works.
I looked around and found unopened sealed album I and many others ( iceman, natty) consider to be one of the best ever
It has been sublime listening
