Oh, that wasn't Pink Floyd? Here:
... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...
One of the "Crown Jewels" of my Record collection is a very rare Japanese Audiophile Pressing, 1/2 Speed Mastered, copy of "Wish You Were Here". It is in mint condition - and the liner notes are in Japanese. I don't know if it was ever imported into the States - I bought my copy in Japan. I've thought about selling it on ebay to buy a new amp for my Stereo System but have no idea what it is worth. I know it is at least several hundred dollars, based on what I've seen other Floyd rarities go for, but am really not sure. I have a few others such as a mint copy, unopened, of the Mobile Fidelity Pressings of "Days of Future Passed", and Genesis "Trick of The Tail", but I know they are valuable but not as rare as the "Wish You Were Here Recording". I figure at auction it could go anywhere between $500 and "oh my gosh".

Nice! I have the 45 of Rapper's Delight - Sugar Hill Gang FWIW...LOL

Goodtime Joe No. That's some pretty fair guitar thrashing,but it's not Link Wray. BTW,Link Wray died this year. He was in his 70's,and playing on a stage somewhere practically every night before he died.
Sorry, my brain's kinda frazzled right now - Christmas Eve and all.

Here's all I could find so far... Link Wray - That'll be the day
... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...
Of course it was Pink Floyd. Why did you think it wasn't? Was it because I wrote "concert movie"? If that is it,the concert movie is a movie of a actual Pink Floyd concert that was recorded live a couple of years ago in London. I think it was released on DVD last year. At any rate I bought my DVD of it last year,and it is truly something amazing to watch and listen to. I had never seen Pink Floyd in concert,and I had been thinking it would be impossible to create that sound live. I was wrong. I don't think there was a missed note or a flaw/deviation from the original recording the whole show. I can't recommend that DVD too highly to anybody who loves music in general,and Pink Floyd in particular. Hell,buy the DVD and save money by not having to buy 3 or 4 CD's!
BTW,I am listening to "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" right now. Signs of Life is playing.
That's fine. I was reluctant to post anything because I am wiped myself.

Here is another one just for the heck of it. Don't remember where I picked it up though. Probably here. Yeah,that's the man. If you ever get a chance to buy his 1973 Polydor album that is titled,"Link Wray Rumble",buy it! I think it went out of print in 74,and has never been re-released. I finally wore out my second copy,and the only new one I could find was in Germany,and I had to pay 130 bucks for the damn thing! If you had any idea how cheap I am,that would really mean something to you. I never paid even $20 for a album before or since. BTW,seems like he put out a couple of albums with "Rumble" in the title because it was his best known hit. If it doesn't have Goodtime Joe,Backwood Preacher Man,or Rocket 88 on it,it's not the right one.
Of course it was Pink Floyd. Why did you think it wasn't? Sorry, my mistake, I did think it was Pink Floyd, then when I saw this part of your previous post: ...I don't know who they are, but my hat is off to them... I figured it was an imitator. I was looking around on the 'Net while I was listening to that one. Now I understand what you mean. Yes, I agree, a good sign of an extraordinary band is when they can sound on stage like they do on a studio recording. I saw Johnny Cash live and he could do that. April Wine is another band I saw live and they did it extremely well. Now, Pink Floyd is a whole different story... incredible musical genius indeed.

Coolness!

Strange, I can't find 'Goodtime Joe'. That one I posted as such was titled that.

Hi, pete.
I've never been able to find it either,but a friend of mine did find just that one song one time at one of those download sites. He just couldn't remember which one when I asked him. What is the oddest is that "Link Wray Rumble" was his best album and his best selling album. Yet it is the one that has never been re-released.
Okay, I'm getting closer... ... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...

I have that record. It's the one with the sorta strobe photo of him on the front. I've sold off a lot of my vinyl but I have kept that one. Mine's in nearly mint shape, because back then I just bought my first tape deck and taped my albums and listened to them on cassette, since I had this mondo amplifier with about 1000 watts a channel, and the input didn't matter too much. Plus, the volume made records skip.

No,but I have it bookmarked now. They have two Polydor LP's listed by Wray with the right title,but don't list the song titles. Rumble was the title of Wray's biggest single,so there are a couple of different albums with that in the title. That makes it confusing if the song titles aren't listed. One LP for sale is new and less than 30 bucks,and the other one is used and 217 bucks. That leads me to believe they are different LP's.

That's the man!
It's really something special,ain't it? My new one is still unopened. I'm waiting to find somebody I can trust to record it on a CD for me before I open it. None o that,"my sisters brothers 2nd cousin two times removed can probably do it" crap. It has to be somebody I know,and they have to live close enough I can get my hands around their throats if it disappears. BTW,IF I remember correctly,Blues Duke was a kid visiting the recording studio the day that album was recorded. Get him to tell you the story if he posts here. I am too eaten up with jealousy to talk to him about it.
BTW,I apologize for hijacking your Pink Floyd thread. That was not my intention.
Link Wray was actually the inventor of the fuzz tone. He used to put holes in his speakers.

Right on. How about the mix at #40?

LOL ...not at all, I did say I was taking requests. I actually was unfamiliar with Link Wray. Just when I thought I knew everything...

It was pretty good. Did you do that? If you did,how about look up and post some clips by Cliff Carlisle? He's the guy that does that "Footprints in the Snow" song that is used in the tv add for outdoor clothes. I vaguely remembered hearing him when I was a kid,and that commercial caused me to do some research on him. Do you know that white hillbilly was writing and recording blues songs in the early 1930's? That Footprints in the Snow tune was recorded by him in 1931! He was famous for yodeling and playing a dobro. Ever heard somebody yodel during a blues song before? Look for: Hobo Blues,Columbus Stockade Blues (one I heard as a kid),High Steppin Mama,A Wild Cat Woman and a Tom Cat Man,My Rockin Mama,and others. This is root blues stuff,fresh out of bluegrass.
No, I found it at a website. Don't recall which one right now. Cliff Carlisle - Footprints in the snow

THE FATAL RUN by CLIFF CARLISLE
... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...
You can really hear his "let's go to church/bluegrass" roots in his voice,can't you? This is seriously old-time country and blues. He can also play the hell out of that dobro. This style is so different from what we are all used to hearing that it may take a while to adjust to it,but there is no doubting the musical ability of the players,though. It was simple,unsophisticated music played in the 1930's but it was performed flawlessly.
Someone as nutty as me. I still have a sealed copy of The Pretty Things' SF Sorrow, with the die-cut cover. I have no idea what it is worth now, but lots. I have a sealed copy of the first VU album, with the peelable banana, and sealed copies of Lou Reed's Berlin album and The Stooges' Funhouse. There is a new turntable (I think Urban Outfitters sells it) that you can plug right into your computer and digitize your LPs, then burn discs. It's $99 or less. I have tons of obscure stuff that will never come out on CD, like Teenage Head and some Joy Division and Dolls boots, and I would like to buy one, but my computer is just too crappy.

Thanks for the tip. I had no idea such a thing existed. Is there any way you can copy cassette tapes to CD's?
I just went to their web site and the only electronic stuff I saw was alarm clocks. Do you have a URL?
That Pink Floyd concert movie really was something special,wasn't it? I have never seen so many drums in my life,and the girl backup singers were incredible. Reproducing the sounds that are on a Pink Floyd album live is no small feat. I don't know who they are,but my hat is off to them.

ever heard of GEMM before? found this nice little 1/1/74 Polydor pressing, release no. PD 6025 on there for $22, and the dealer is in the U.S. there was another one for $18 in France. they have almost anything you can think of listed on there, and lots of classic vinyl. I picked up a complete cd collection of "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band", along with 'Framed' and a few others with no problems. was able to get them all through their approved dealers and the shipping wasn't much on ones that came from europe.
