Traded some harder to find LPs that were collecting dust on my shelf for this fully serviced Nakamichi ZX-7 deck!

Do I regret it? Hell no! Already tried recording using the manual azimuth, bias, and level adjustments on a standard type 1 tape, it sounded pretty dang awesome! Now I can break out the Type II and above tapes I’ve kept sealed for several years for this deck!

(Note that the bias and level adjustment knobs are there, they just have the covers on them to prevent them from going out of sync. Also when I was demoing this deck, I got scared because all of a sudden no audio was coming in from the line in or just normal playback…it was because the azimuth adjustment was still on 😑)

As a bit of a progressive rock head…how the hell did I sleep on this band for so long?

Decided to finally plunge into Ween by listening to The Mollusk, Quebec, and now making my way through Chocolate & Cheese now. I’m actually amazed at how much I am liking these albums front to back, the genre shifts going all over the place experimentally and hearing some clear references to older prog acts like Pink Floyd are definitely scratching that itch of a discography for so long.

Guess I really started getting into them at the perfect time when I’m ready to clear some space on my record shelf to start buying their albums on LP, but the prices for some of these pressings are way out there 🤣 anyone recommend pressings that were done well but don’t break the bank (even originals if I feel like pulling the trigger on a good price down the road).

Live in Milan, Italy 1987

Came across this poster ad for a concert that said it would take place at the Rolling Stone Club in Milan on Nov. 29th, 1987. Problem is that I can’t seem to find any info of this gig ever taking place, although Maiden did play there during the Killers tour in ‘81.

The tour ended earlier in the year and they did play at a different venue in the city in late ‘86. Any one that is from that area can chime in if this was a planned gig that got cancelled, or just a fake drawn up for the sake of this poster? Or maybe it was a TV broadcast in Italy?

Found a couple of harder to find titles on 8 at a record store today

Pure heavy metal like Priest and mid 80’s record club-only releases are definitely not ones you see out in the wild as much. New pads incoming on these!

Whoever was evaluating the songs for radio play on this promo copy of Seconds Out must have really expressed their thoughts in writing lol

For $20 at a local record store? I am an asshole on Spaceball 1, had to whip out my Space Bucks card for this piece of merchandising!

(Real talk: never seen this one on LD at all and it was surreal to not only find one, but it’s the Special Edition presented in letterbox widescreen with the Dolby AC-3 surround track AND the Mel Brooks commentary! I already have the XL 4K release of it but I couldn’t pass up on this at all.)

For one of my favorite parodies of all time AND it’s the special edition version with the AC-3 audio track and the Mel Brooks commentary?! Even if I already have the 4K release?! Absolutely!

Did I pay too much? Hell if I know, I never seen a copy of this one on LD!
