I have this in five different formats. The original LP, open reel tape, cassette, CD and digital. I used to also have it in 8 Track but the foam pressure pads disintegrated so I threw them away.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 24 2022

Another album I have in different media from different eras.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Sep 02 2022
Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Sep 19 2022

Another much loved album I have in numerous media, LP, cassette, RTR, digital, etc. I have it on both the HD in my car as well as on an iPod that often travels with me.

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 26 2022

Another album I have in numerous formats, including the original LP I purchased when it was first released in the 60's.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 01 2023

I well remember purchasing this album in reel to reel format at the PX in Nurnberg, Germany while I was living there in 1969. I spent hours listening to it on my headphones as it played on my Sony TC530 tape deck. I also remember the battle that raged in court in Germany between the band and the offspring of Count Zeppelin over the band's use of the family name. A truly seminal recording by one of rock's legends and our introduction to the band and John Bonham's drumming.

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 07 2023
Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Feb 08 2023

Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent. If that wasn't my anthem in 1971 I don't know what was. Another seminal album from the period best listened to while in a drug induced haze. Ian Anderson's flute transported us to another world.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 27 2023

Not one of their best effort regardless of the fact that it contained "Breath" and "Wrapped". Zenyatta Mondatta from 5 years earlier is a better effort by the group.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Mar 29 2023

Wife and daughters used to dance/exercise to this music after dinner. Sadly, I never found it compelling.

Apr 10 2023

Didn't think I would enjoy this album but found it surprisingly entertaining.

Hotel California by Eagles
Apr 11 2023

I hadn't paid much attention to the Eagles before Joe Walsh joined them on this album, but I quickly became a devotee of Don Henley and Glenn Frey and the Eagles in general.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 12 2023

I well remember the release of this album in 1970 when I was playing at being a civilian DJ on armed forces radio in Germany.
