I'll ck them out! That very first Crazy Horse album -- the one with the carousel horse face cover... sans Neil (for the most part i think) -- doesn't get enuf credit for being 25-years proto-grunge! And unlike the NY & CH albums which rely on long jams, the 10 or so numbers on that album are compressed, with pop song structure, despite the crunchy distortion faux-sloppy playing. Underappreciated classic. Hey, Tosh: let's go see NY & CH at the Bowl!!!

I think the Bowl show has been canceled. And I totally agree with you about that Crazy Horse album. Early Daze is your new album to go!

I need more Duke and Neil in my library too. Need a copy of Far East Suite again sometime and your description of Crazy Daze inspires me to check it out, soon.

Just made a huge score at a thrift store . Operas!

A 2 foots width selection

All in very good shape with the booklets in the boxes .

Only 25 cents each!

Even a Caruso!

Most were recorded in 50s and 60s . Perhaps nothing rare but hoping for many delights.

Some have radio station notes on them. Might be from a DJs personal collection? Will look up call letters

Have enjoyed listening to Operas on radio shows for decades but mostly without the knowledge of the artists, composers or stories,

Just grooving on the sounds and emotions .

Now equipped for a long swim.

Opera is exciting but not an easy journey for me. All I have is Berg’s Lulu.
