In one of my dumpster picking adventures, a year or two ago, my brothers and I found a milk crate full of old records. We were in our church clothes, picking through these musty records in a light rain and I came home with an armload of polkas and other good stuff. Among them was this:
Yeah, with the single of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." But looks were deceiving because this record sleeve didn't have the 1962-1966 compilation in it. Oh no. It had MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR!!! Which is the first Beatles album I ever bought (well, I went in half and half with Jack) and probably my very favorite. The single is warped and not playable, but it looks cool. I could probably come up with something to make out of it. Someday. Or not.
Anyway, that was a great surprise.
AND the Johnny Cash album I pulled out of the same milk crate was in really great condition! I do so like good surprises. My life's been full of 'em.
Ah rich vinyl sound! Oh damn. Oh damn. Oh damn. It's weird but the sound of records playin on a proper stereo like this makes me feel some type of way.
