The excitement of buying albums...

Was an avid collector of vinyl myself, I have about a thousand albums in a crate in my aunts up in Leitrim. I used to like nothing better than browsing 2nd hand record shops in Glasgow such as Lost Chord in Kelvinbridge and the Record Exchange in the city centre. Flea markets in the Old Saltmarket and at the Barras had a treasure trove of old vinyls. Revolver Records at the Barras should get a mention, I picked up a good condition Hawkwind Space Ritual original album with the open out triplicate sleeve there.
Was getting right into earlier Pink Floyd stuff in the late eighties and reading up on some of their biographies, I heard this track Embryo on the Pink Floyd live at Paris Theatre in 1970 and started reading up about the track, it was never officially released as a finished version. I read that it was released accidentally on a Harvest record sampler called Picnic: A Breath of Fresh Air but was subsequently withdrawn quickly again. The very next day I'm browsing the stalls at the Barras when I came across it that very sampler album in mint condition for £3 quid, was absolutely delighted. I heard eventually that Capitol Records Floyd's American subsidiary released that same version of Embryo on a Floyd sampler called Works. Since about 2005 I've been listening to digital versions when I got my first computer, It doesn't have that same buzz but I'm making up for it now by going to more gigs and festivals.
If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

You have 1000 vinyls in a gaf in Leitrim? Why aren't they in Galway! :pac:
It amazes me how long this gear lasts though. my dad has a Cyrus One amp from mid 80s, still going strong.0 -
