Heh, smartass.
The way I look at is β peeps (and @Bix especially) are lucky that my whole damn list ainβt nothing but FZ.
πππ
BTW β you donβt have that one, right?
π€
I've been surprised you haven't had more Frank on your list.
No, I don't have that one. But I have this one...
π
That single still blows my mind. π₯
And how boring and predictable would I be with a bunch of FZ albums on said list? Mix it up!
No more splinters, please. π
I might get more splinters. After my trip, I'm tearing the basement and other storage places apart to find my other albums, (yep, I still haven't found them π).
I know you have an interest in many musicians and bands, so I didn't really expect you to post only FZ. π
Universe and socmed be praised that we Zappa fans can find each other -- yourself and @Mfieck and I count myself as very lucky to have you two to chat with about such...and not just about FZ, either! π
It's like a religion or cult minus the irritating proselytizing! And that way you don't bore the piss out of everyone else.
The basement sitch still confuses me -- I'm sure you checked the attic, garage, etc. I forget what IRL Hubs said when you asked him...
These are the lps you've had since kid years, yes? Do you recall the number of records?
I did the dumbass thing (shocking, I know) when cds hit the market and traded ALL of my records, minus a few that got misfiled with mom/stepdad's small collection.
It wasn't until '94 that I started buying records again -- cuz a new roomie brought his player with him. Then I kicked myself for getting rid of my vinyl...
Awesome.
Trading the records in for store credit wasn't a shame cuz of the $ and/or like I had some hard-to-find valuable stuff. More like a big lesson in tech evolution/market fashion fads...and then replacing a number of albums all over again. That said, most of the new ones are remasters and huge improvements in sound.
Like you, it was by no means a gargantuan collection -- still isn't. And I still purge every now and then for room and store credit. π
@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck
Yes, including The Partridge Family, all the way up to high school and a little beyond, when I started buying cassettes. It's not an enormous amount of albums, but it's not a few either.
I would've kicked myself, too, if I got rid of my vinyl.
