What's the Latest CD/LP Added to Your Pile?

The store is Homer's in Omaha. Whenever I am in I always tell the manager about the surround titles I bought at his store and how much I enjoyed them. This is at least his 3rd copy of the Quadraphenia blu ray because I bought one and so did a friend of mine. It is also at least his third copy of Hypnotic eye because we each bought one. He has another of the Clapton box and I bought1. The big Soundgarden box and Tears for Fears boxes are there. Multiple Fly By Night blu rays and a couple of the boxes with the dvdas. Saw the Warchild box and Passion Play. Didn't look in the racks but he has carried some of the King Crimson before. I still like being able to go into a store and just browse for an hour or so. Wish I had more time and money when I was there the other day. Scott

I really miss going into a store like Tower Records. What better place to go and kill time.

This Forum needs a name change to "The Quadraphonic Geezers"....LOL!

I just got a few, let's see:

Eric Clapton - There's One in Every Crowd CD-4
Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Blvd. CD-4
Grass Roots - Their 16 Greatest Hits QS
Billy Joel - Turnstiles SQ
Billy Joel - Piano Man SQ
A QuadraDisc Sampler CD-4
Jethro Tull - Aqualung CD-4
Chicago - Greatest Hits SQ

They're not all in NM shape, but I didn't pay a fortune for them. Some are still in the mail. I don't buy quads that often, it seems to come in kicks and when I get lucky, lol.

Chicago-Live in 75

Pat Travers - Feelin' Right (The Polydor Albums 1975-1984). His 1st 8 albums on remastered across 4 CDs. I saw him and his band a few times in the mid-70s, really good. Listening to the first 4 of the albums, apart from the bluesy rock feel, they reminded me of Todd Rundgren in places - a good thing!

Johnny Mathis - Johnny CD

When I used to travel to Omaha, the Homer's store downtown was a regular stop. Nice size, great selection. Kind of reminded me of Licorice Pizza.

Pre-ordered this Johnny Mathis CD...

Johnny Mathis is at the top of my most disliked singers of all time list. Thanks for sharing those and letting me revisit those days...LOL

And why is that? It certainly can't be because of his amazing voice.....must be some other....

He's in my top five too. Along with Bing Crosby and Frank (overrated) Snotra. My favorite singer in that category would have to be Deano.

If you feel he is amazing, that is all that matters. I respect you for your tastes in vocalist (Josh Groban) even if they aren't mine.

Yeah, that's cool. I do like Johnny. I think he's one of a kind.....I have lots of friends who would probably think I was crazy for liking him. Oh well......

What you mean by commenting on Josh Groban? I know little about him.

I was only joking! Josh made my (bad) list too when he first came on the scene. :yikes

Snood been getting into a lot and me means A LOT of Steve Marriott (Small Faces & Humble Pie) Great guitarist and man what a set of Rock n' Roll pipes on him. Very Under appreciated.

Latest Picks ups were "Town & Country" and "Performance: Rockin the Filmore" and also picked up the later "On to Victory" and "Go for the Throat".

Town & Country and Performance are awesome and am sure most of ya know Early Humble Pie included Peter Frampton tooooooooooooooooo

Have not given Victory and Throat a spin yet

But man Steve Marriott could sing

The guy was 5'5" and he sung like a Rock and Roll Giant - R.I.P Steve

I picked this one up on amazon...

I got this Van Halen CD due to the numbers HERE...I was lucky enough to find that exact west german pressing on Ebay..I intend on doing a comparison with Gos 2.0 when he gets the new Van Halen release...

Here's mine from HDTracks, yours looks better , I have to dig out my cd to see what version that is.

For many years, I had a season subscription to the Chicago Symphony., under both Solti & Barenboim. At one concert, they performed a wonderful piece called Sea Drift By John Alden Carpenter. Although I had never heard of him or the piece, I sought it out. I searched this out for years, but never could find it. Lo and behold, Joe found it and it arrived today.

It is a CD of Leonard Bernstein conducting the NY Philharmonic from '45, along with Shostakovich No. 5. This UK transcription disc also features a 1947 performance of Gershwin: An American in Paris from '47. It is also conducted by Bernstein w/RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra.
