There's a new record show in town. I found a few records there including a rare psychedelic classic, some mean garage rock, two Leons, a good witch, and another case of balls on a country album cover.

“Hang On To A Dream” is my fave track on the Gandalf album. That’s my jam!

Love the White Witch stuff. The vocals aren't for everyone, but Ron Goedert was a master of voices. The tracks on this 2nd LP, 'Crystalize & Realize' & 'Walk On', almost sound like a different singer. There was almost a third WW LP, but most of those ideas found their way onto Ron Goedert's lone solo LP. Breaking All The Rules. Great episode!

Good stuff man!! On a Steely Dan kick today after enjoying your review of the inner sleeve of Aja! Gandalf I got around 20 years back for 300 bucks. Wrote Peter Sando who was the guitarist in the band who still plays acoustic sets today. Saw a video recently where he said the band broke up the year before that album came out. I need to still get a copy of the Music Machine. Also love your impression of the sound on Easter Everywhere from a previous video. Reminds me of my Dad years back doing his version of turkey gobble. Glad you found some good stuff!!!

In the booklet for the Sundazed reissue of Gandalf, they said that the distortion on the vocals is because they could not recreate the reverb effect the singer got from the band's PA in the studio, so they miked it.

Gandolf looks like something that would be in the dollar bin at the store downtown, because its not Beatles or Stones or anything that will sell. Still waiting to find another $100 album in those 64 milk crates. Last one was oddly a Roger Waters promo. How that got in there. Who knows, but i snagged it anyways. That stores been like that for years. Ive snagged so much insane stuff out of their dollar bins since they opened in the late 80s. Got quite nuts right before grunge hit, because you will only find Green Day and Offsprings first albums in the dollar bin. Once again, its not Pink Floyd or Iron Maiden or Slayer. No one will ever buy those Operation Ivy or Nirvana albums.

You raise an interesting question. At one time, I had about 3k pieces, and I sold off the last of it about 15 years ago. I recently got bit by the bug again, and am shocked at the state of record prices today. I agree, I am not ever shelling out hundreds of dollars for a record again (RIP my first marriage), but the question is: what's your top end for any record? I've already hit $60+ after shipping, but I'm trying to stick under $30. What's your "fold" price? (this is for everyone, not just Robert)

I went back to check my reissue copy of Gandalf and I'm pleased to say it's not warped, and I really don't notice an issue with sibilance. I've been to book fairs, but never a record show. Perhaps one day.
@RobertFithen Жыл бұрын
The sibilance was on the Music Machine record. I found out there are actually two different reissues of the Gandalf album. There was also an "unofficial" one that has the usual Capitol text on the top seam.

Oh, I goofed on sibilance. I might have unofficial one, the cover art has a white bar across the top.

I'm listening to my 1966 mono Music Machine Turns On and don't detect noticeable sibilance. That was a problem on a reissue of an Easybeats album I bought.
