Great job and excellent choices!
Yeah, i estimate that i own about 20 of those as well. Not all on LP. A bunch on CD only. Also at least half a dozen others of which i own the complete music of those releases but on boxsets (The band, Led Zep).
Cool to see Social Distortion included (on the far right)!
What record cover is hanging in between King Curtis and The Beatles (far left)?
Awesome wall! I picked up Bridge of Sighs at a Flea Market this past weekend and a demonstration copy of Mother's Finest first album. Been trying to slowly grow the collection. Probably have around 20-25 now. If I could only take 3 of my albums with me they would be....
1. J. Beck - Wired
2. ABB - LAFE
3. M. Davis - Kind of Blue
Oh yea, did I mention the fact that I still haven't bought a record player 🙁
Any "affordable" suggestions?
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you guys approve! It took a while here and there hanging some, finding others I wanted. I am still intermittently searching for a couple, or may replace a few. I would probably replace Rust Never Sleeps with Weld if I ever found a reasonable priced copy. Not sure if you can see in the picture, but 4 Way Street is top above Harvest.
In high school a friend of mine, his Dad has this awesome record collection and he would let me borrow a couple LPs at a time, then I would listen and make tape copies or something. Never forget listing to that album the first time! You know it is funny, you just rarely, if ever have those kind of experiences now days. It was fun discovering all that stuff as a kid.
I love that Social D album. Immediate impact when I bought it on cassette back in the day. I play it a good bit still. Everything up there I play with some regularity, so I guess it mostly encompasses what I would call favorites, depending on mood and feeling at a given time.
In between King Curtis Fillmore album and Abbey Road is Freddie King's "Getting Ready". Love Freddie Kind, I think that one is my favorite.
The actual records aren't in the frames. I bought some plain sleeves and printed a track listing and info to tape onto them. So I can spin one easily instead of it being trapped under glass!
I think you could find a decent cheap used record player. You would just want to change the needle and cartridge.
