Missing It's Picture Sleeve, I'm guessing It was the First single ordered In the Shop that Is why You kept It.

It is that record indeed my friend! The reason it's on the wall is because that is the only record I have with a sticker from the store. Only thing left from the stuff they had in the store were some old 45's without sleeves. The rest my grandparents and my mother got rid of, unfortunatly.. Peace!

The Jasper Van't Hof stuff is real nice... got a few library records from Brull, well it goes on and on... you have way more records than me though... think I'm at about 600-700.. I bought an Akai MPC Live with the purpose of incorporating it with my piano (Yamaha C3x grand) and rhodes/moog/Arp/Oberheim gear... really love your vibe on this and know what you mean about not meaning to be a braggy thing because I feel I have just bragged about having a load of gear in this comment... ;)

Instead of doing what took me 3hrs with this hardware in the 90s I can do in three clicks in Ableton. Warmth shsss there just too many plugins out there that make up for that.

I get what you are saying, I sometimes don't make music because I don't feel like spending 20 to 30minutes chopping samples up first. So I might buy some newer gear in the future for when I want to make something in a short amount of time. But I don't think I will ever get rid of my older gear. I just love it way too much and collecting it is half the fun already for me. The way it sounds and such is unique but I understand what you mean. Peace!
