For those who may not know, our beautiful friend, Topper, passed away yesterday on February 4, 2023. He was not only a wonderful personality but he was also a super talented musician who played multiple instruments. He love of vinyl recordings came from a professional musicians aspect. Some of us not only followed and watched him in various bands that he performed with back in the 1980s and beyond, but we also had the honor to jam with him. He was a great guitar player, keyboard player and singer, AND also a father, husband and friend. We will miss Topper.

It's only money-- spend it! You nailed the UFO album. It's a young band trying to find their way pre-Schenker and even pre-Bernie Marsden.

Hey Topper! Nice to see you splurge on some long time wants. It's good to spoil yourself every now and again. You don't know how happy I was to see Smallcreep's Day! It's a great album. I'm hoping the Ellington stays in print a little while longer at Acoustic Sounds. I want it but haven't been ready to place my order for it yet. That is an all-time album and I know the 45 RPM of it must sound beautiful. I've been checking out Ozric Tentacles more and more. Cool to see you grab the new album. Congrats on the Kaleidoscope grail! That was a treat watching you open the package. Enjoyed catching up with you and your recent pick ups! All the best to you! -Bill

You are right about Fireball. I need re UK version. Wow! Black Rose what a fantastic album!. Ah man Budgie! I keep seeing a Ellington box set at Mt. Carmel, huh. Brownie McGee & Sonny Terry? THE WOLF!!!! My favorite blues man. Sweet early UFO! Congratulations on the trail Topper. I just started listening to Kaleidoscope and really digging them. Wow fantastic Sgt. Pepper, Topper. Great stuff Brother. Peace

Hey man, hope you are feeling well, you look like you are. I agree with UFO-2, the first side is stellar. You made me pull it off my shelf for the first time in years. I have that same Kaleidoscope reissue and it sounds great. All the Kaleidoscope bands are essential psych in my opinion. Peace.

Hi Topper. I've heard the AS pressing of that Ellington is extraordinary. Purple, Lizzy and Budgie - what a trio. Budgie's debut, imo, is as good as Squawk. Their two best. Whoa - Kaleidoscope. What a treat, indeed. Enjoy!

You've showed my 2 favourite bands Ozric Tentacles and Budgie...superb taste sir. Real glad you managed to get the new Ozric album although, for me, not one of their better ones and is more of an Ed Wynne solo album like Shimmer Into Nature. BTW great looking copy of Fireball.

@@TimelordUK Great to have you on board. From their earlier period i would recommend Jurassic Shift (made no.11 here in the U.K) and from there 'Curious Corn', 'Paper Monkeys' and my personal favourite 'Become The Other'. 'Strangeitude' seems to be a fan favourite if you are interested.
