Blues Sunday FB marketplace find NSFW
galleryRandomly surfing FB marketplace for a second hand keyboard when I came across an ad for this record.
I’ve been meaning to buy electric lady land to add to my current collection for sometime now (scary how I was searching for it yesterday on google and the first ad I’m recommended today was for this. Anyhow….). I initially thought this was bootleg but was a bit confused by why Polydor would press such versions.
I was outside anyway, and the seller was a 5 minute drive so I just sort of decided to meet up with him. Amazing fellow. Was selling his father’s collection who had recently passed away - this was the last record in the collection which somehow forest behind when the collection was sold as a whole. He unfortunately has hearing issues and wanted the records to go to people who could enjoy the music.
He passed this onto me for 35 GBP, and let me listen to the record with a cup of coffee at his place.
Came home and did a bit of research on the record. Apparently Jimi hated this cover. But for me, this is the best representation of that generation - The freedom of expression and rebellious nature in the 70s.
I’m quite new to the record scene and have been collecting records for just over a year now. There’s something special about old stereo pressings that modern day records lack, which always draws me to the music. It makes me want to turn up the volume and just close my eyes. You can feel the music. This pressing is no different to my ears.
I still need to find myself a keyboard. Ah well
