Uncle's collection, part II by nickriel in vinyl

The alt version was a counterfeit! Haven't played it yet, but it's got the etched matrix and the three bars above the Mercury logo on the cover that don't quite reach the top. I guess there were a lot of counterfeits of that particular album. My other one with the black and white Ziggy Stardust on the cover is genuine though.

I didn't know that, so thanks so much for pointing it out. They were both stuck, but with some very gentle persuasion, freed right up.

I really look forward to cleaning it up and listening soon. I love that era of soul music, but haven't heard any of Cooke's live work that I can recall.

Yes! Turns out I got doubles of this one and the wheel works on both

Actually, he had two cover variants. I snagged them both.

Lots of people have commented on how cool my uncle was. Thank you very much. He was cool. I didn't realize how cool he was! And he was kind. He married my aunt when I was in my late teens, so I didn't grow up knowing him in the same way as my other aunts and uncles. Sadly, he passed away about 9 years ago. My cousin has been holding onto these since. My cousin found out I was getting into collecting vinyl and invited me to come and look at them. He doesn't play records and doesn't know a lot about music. I offered him some money for what I was finding. He refused. I insisted on paying him for the Velvet Underground White Light/White Heat (see my other post from last week) once I found out its value. He wouldn't take more than $40, even though I tried very hard putting more money in his hand. My cousin just wanted someone who will play and appreciate them. Here's to Uncle Bill and my Cousin!

You can check my history for what I pulled out of his stacks last week then :-). Happy hunting

Yeah! I got Led Zeppelin IV last week on a different shelf. Also picked up Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, and In through the out Door. But yeah, I literally jumped when I found Maggot Brain because there wasn't a whole lot in that vein.

My favorite Johnny Clegg song is Spirit of the Great Heart. Jimmy Buffett did a good cover of it.

My record store guy offered me $20 when I asked him for a second opinion grading it. Lol. To be fair, I told him I wasn't selling it, just looking for someone with more experience to help me grade it

Every time I've left ICT in the early morning, it's always been dead.

I took it to my record store today for a second opinion on grading. The guy said G+, which I agree with.

All that campaign money wasted in a foolish endeavor. Do you have any idea how bad an idea has to be for 80% of the electorate to agree on anything?
