music in the shed

My goodness! Like rummaging through a record store in the 70's.
Wonder how the Monkees found their way into the collection???
Doesn't fit in with Weather Report, Tangerine Dream, Gong, Focus or the Dead, does it!

You'd take a gamble bidding on the records.
Did the previous owner replace the inner paper sleeves with non-scratch sleeves.
How often did he play the records, and did he play them wet or dry?
In what condition did he keep the pickup and settings of the Linn Sondek LP12?

I think that it's very much like "classic bikes". If the outer cover is nice, nobody gives a damn what's inside.

Auction, LP's no interest, have now what i collected from the 70's.... others are collectors, would be interested. The instruments and amps, knowledge is power, overall the prices, if actual sale prices, are sensible, the odd exception. My 1975 Rick 4001 is only just for build quality, not so enamored with USA is always best, it can be, not always. Recent purchase a Gretsch China double cut G5622 the real deal item would be in the $5k plus price, the make do gigable G5622, $1250, with minor issues that mostly can be corrected, gig that and can relax as the cost replacement is not nearly that of a real deal Gretsch USA, nice as they are overall...j
 
Got rid of all my vinyl a few years back.....took them into Plastic Wax in Bristol....ten albums or ten singles at a time over a period of about three years..
Totalled up to just under £1900 in the end for the lot .
Best money I made for a single item was £40 for Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies ( Puppet Cover ) for an album , and £50 for Scritti Politti Skank Bloc Bologna EP ( with original paper insert cover ) for a 7 inch .

Original Pink label Island stuff got good money....Jethro Tull Stand Up LP with pop up inner sleve went well too .

Guy who ran the shop was into reggae stuff as well so made some money there .

Had to take the rough with the smooth though...some of the more obscure stuff he would take...but it would go " straight upstairs " until it came back into fashion ( maybe ) ......after all , the number of people who would walk into the shop after a copy of Clock DVA`s " Thirst " album could be counted on the fingers of a mitten ( if he was lucky ) , so you would have to accept a loss on that......
 
There is a clip of Rory Gallagher doing a solo on Australian TV ( our ABC ), playing a gorgeous Ovation Adamas ( before i die will have a 12 string Adamas ) with looper and other effects around him, massive sound, cannot find it at all, on file here somewhere. Loopers can be too much, when overused, one gig i stage managed this bloke looped 9 instruments, i was clearing the stage as he put down some of them, only to be admonished for removing his "will use again, in this song" instruments, including piano accordion. It took him around 8 minutes to lay down all the loops, before song proper emerged.... the punters had gone to get tea and food by then... was clever yet boring to the maximum.... so it is today, have a Boss RC-50 used sparingly, least i be a good salesperson for the food stalls....j
 
I couldn't find the Rory Gallagher vid you mention. There is one from 91 Steve Vizard interview where he is playing Leadbelly on acoustic six string.
In the meantime, here is a 75 tour poster rory gallagher tour poster.jpg
 
Yes it is a rare video, downloaded it many years ago, pious hope that is was on social media, its here in the archives i know it, matter of wading through 6 or more HDD i used over the years, tah for the help rowdypat... be the Australian factor in locating the video and sound. j

Yep saw Rory G at the 4th Feb concert in Perth, blew my '20 years old' mind, I play his pieces of vinyl at full volume, and headphones keep the wife quiet.
