I always enjoy seeing the new graduates from your backlog. Thanks for another well done video, highlighted by a cool Nils Lofgren story!

I like that Nils Lofgren cover. Glad you got the pictures. Hopefully, I will get some nice ones Thursday. I usually don't take too many. I try to focus on the show.

Hi Alan - nice selection there. Love those box sets - I have a lot of them, at least they were affordable lol. Love Nils - have a lot of his stuff, great guitarist / songwriter. Cya Doug

It is always fun to see what makes it into your catalog. Your Status Quo video inspired me to pick up one of those 5 Classic Album sets by them. Got 5 CDs for under $20. I had heard of the band but didn't know any of their songs. The albums included were Piledriver, Hello!, Quo, On The Level and Blue For You. Have really been digging Piledriver, nice solid rock album. I also picked up the 10cc box so that has been getting a lot of listens, really great sound and I have really fallen in love with the band. You make a great point with the Dylan set, I picked up the 2 disc version of Who's Next/Lifehouse for that same reason. Sometimes it is nice to have a bite size portion of the set for on the go. Looking forward to the 8 Track video!

Skynyrd and Quo boxes are great.Nice pickups for April Alan

Nice Haul once again Alan!

Lots of good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll there Alan. Laaargely unknown or lacking from my collection, but I enjoy some new old impulses 😊

I remember that Tull EP coming out around the time of the Stormwatch box set, I never so the need to buy at the time, but a must at that price well done. I completely agree Alan, Stormwatch for me has grown in stature on each passing year.

Glad to see that you enjoyed the Bardens disc Alan. If you liked "Seascape" and think you'd enjoy something even more ambient then you must check out David Arkenstone's 'Valley in the Clouds". That album was one of if not the first New Age album I ever purchased and was blown away! Very relaxing and other worldly to say the least. ✨

some interesting stuff there. nice to see ya continuing to make a dent in that backlog. 8-track ep should be cool but what i really wanna know about from watching this is…. your smart TV recognizes laser disc player and has an actual icon for it?!?! That’s crazy. I wouldn’t think it would.

That's a nice big chunk to get sorted, I've been looking for that Tull 10",. I'm not keen on those over priced RSD releases either.

See you later, Allen Ginsberg....well I certainly understand what you mean by the Complete Basement Tapes being a little too much. Actually, I ended up selling mine a long while back when I was in high gear to generate more revenue by any means--and I was kinda sorry to see it go--if only because the Basement Tapes was always my favorite Dylan album, and the official release, as great as it was, seemed to be a little too much of Robbie Robertson and the Band. That being said, the two disc version is indeed a great listen. In the years I had the complete set, I just didn't listen to it at all--and it seemed to be too much of a library piece, or encyclopedia thing. I mean, I can deal with 6 CDs worth of music, but all the other scholarly essays and think pieces seem to be a little too much--yet I've bitched to no end about the Stones having these big box sets that contain nothing, so go figure. I remember too when box sets went to that goofy oblong rectangle--I had Sonny Rollins' Complete Prestige Recordings in a box like that--7 CD, in those triple disc jewel cases. I sold it. I also remember when the box sets first came out--and they were basically LP sized boxes, but much deeper. Biograph was the first, and I remember being so excited when I bought that on vinyl. Haven't listened to it in 30+ years. I remember getting the Bill Evans Complete Fantasy recordings in the same LP sized box--I think that was 9 CDs--I still have that one. However, I sold virtually every other Bill Evans box I owned (and I had just about every one of them), including that weird set up for the Complete Verve Recordings. Do you remember that Alan? That came in the oxidizing metal box? 18 CDs in a flywheel, packed in those mini rice paper sleeves, and a very thick book of liner notes--that was the same size as a CD jewel case--just a thick hard cover book, with tiny print, impossible to read with print that small. What surprised me about it so much was that I expected the 'rusting metal box' to be some big thing--it was actually very small--basically the same dimensions as a CD jewel case, but very deep. The top was a metal hinged cover that flipped back to open. Inside was a plastic shelve was held the hardcover booklet in the top compartment, and the metal flywheel with the CDs underneath. So, it was this little rusting metal box. I never finished listening to all 18 CDs...I had to sell it when I was broke. It retailed in the late 90s for $217. It now goes for thousands on eBay...I don't think I got $100 for it.
