At the moment I have Eminems Relapse, but strangely enough earlier I had Bob Marleys Rastaman Vibration on. Just got a new turntable and so am able to listen to all my old vinyl............ah the memories!
You can't beat old vinyl ds
Gatefold sleeves have it over boring plastic cases any day. Artwork by Roger Dean on old prog rock Yes albums, aah those were the days
Haven't been able to play mine for years as not had a turntable. Been looking round for a good one to go with my system and last Sunday found just what I was looking for. Its been like a trip down memory lane.
I've always manged to keep a turntable, just wish I'd have kept hold of all my really early vinyl stuff, T Rex, Slade, Reggae Chartbusters compiltaion albums that the Trojan label used to put out and loads of other stuff I sold when I got all "grown up"
at 15 and sold it all to finance getting
Led Zep, Deep Purple etc and prog rock stuff Thank fuck punk came along a couple of years later to save all our souls
Never bought into that old crap, simply hate it. (Having said that I loved and still do Alice Cooper, always go to his concerts with my mum! He was the only one we agreed on.) Unfortunately I lent lots of trojan, northern and southern soul albums to a friend, didnt get them back. Still got all my old punk tho.

Now I'm old and all prejudices seem to fade
I still love Led Zep and some other early 70s rock stuff, the hardest thing to understand is whatever the fuck did I see in Yes, ELP and various other prog rock nitwittery
It's all nostalgia now tho and I can look back and laugh
Always kept my love for reggae/ska all the way through but was never a soul boy tho apart from some classic Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye stuff.

Think us early 70s lads had very mixed influences, reggaae/ska, glam rock, rock/prog rock, soul, punk and lots of us liked a mixture of all and I'm happy to say that my musical tastes have mostly been "left of centre, alternative" with quite a few differing influences. Sorry I can bore for England on the subject of music mate

Must be a generation thing. The type of music you liked seemed so important at the time and said loads about you and what "tribe" you were part of in a way that it does'nt now. The only "tribe" that transcended it was your football "tribe" and I think I would have even got on ok with greasy, Elvis loving rockers if they were gooners not that many greasy rockers ever went to the Arsenal tho
If they did go to footy it was probably to some backwoods arse of a club like wolves or bristol rovers

It's funny as I was raised on Stax and Motown by my elder brother - but if I liked something I liked it...and even though there were (music factions /Tribes) in school - I was only ever in a Football Tribe (Arsenal of course!) my best mate was a Gooner as well - but was into classical music - mind you he's now in an orchestra so!
we used to get a regular kicking by the older and bigger spuds - still revenge is sweet - (we spot welded their bikes to the bike sheds on the last day of term before leaving for a new school)
I do remember saving up my paper round & pocket money for about 3 weeks to buy my first 45RPM - I had to walk to the nearest record shop 4 miles away - to buy it - I've still got that single the one and only:
"Reach Out (I'll Be There) The Four Tops...I still get shivers and tingles down me spine whenb I play / hear it now....
I was into prog and stuff too in a BIG way...I still Love Yes, Genesis (with PG) but love all sorts now - Funk, Classical, Jazz, Folk, Rock about the only stuff I'm not keen on is Gangster rap and the like
Went awol from school (Missed exams and got a right beating) to travel up to Crystal Palace Bowl to see Yes premier Close To The Edge...aaah those were the days...young, free - no mortgage...no debts...
(sigh)
