Music... I Listened to Some

Another one that got away. In the context of their time (15ish years ago), they were the unlikely recipient of a major label deal, big recording and promotion budgets, great touring slots, and they had a kick ass live show. Yet, they went nowhere. A Black Crowes AC/DC love child.

 
Wallowed in history this weekend as PBS had a geriatric special with doo wop (The Aquatones), ballads (The Drifters) and rock (The Outsiders). Now a little more contemporary music with Annie Lennox (Whiter Shade of Pale). Don't know how to pull up songs (Aren't you lucky?).

My wife asked me go through my records and weed out what I don’t like.

So, I started selling them online. Record nerds will pay some crazy prices for this stuff!
I’ve sold $3.00 records for $30 and $8.00 LPs for about the same.
Of course, I’m keeping all of the best stuff

Did you digitize and store before selling them?
 
I lost over 300 classic rock albums from the 60s and 70s due to a garage fire.
Melted vinyl soup.

And for making that money
One of my all-time favs

No, most of it is stuff I don't and never listened to that I'd acquired in bulk from other people's collections. A lot of OC and midwest punk from the 90's. A lot of HC Straight edge stuff and some metal.

I learned to love BTO getting to an early morning class on campus at UCSC. For some reason the classic rock station always played a BTO song around 7AM on the bus, those tunes with the beautiful hillsides and the sun coming through the trees was f'n spiritual.
 
Buffalo Springfield, IMO the best band that didn't stay together long enough. Also, saw Springsteen sing "Born" at the (maybe) Pacific Amphitheater 100 years ago - rousing to say the least. Thanks for the reminders. Need to procure a turntable and get the "Buffalo" on tap again.
