The Springsteen is from his “Live 1975-1985” collection. It was five albums when it came out back in the day, but only three CDs. I’m kind of amused that vinyl has made a comeback lately. We’re swimming in old-fashioned record stores in my neighborhood these days. I don’t really have the space for more stuff these days, so I’ll be sticking with MP3s for now. But I’m happy for them and wish them the best. Have you bought any vinyl lately?
Funny you should ask. Yeah, I just did. I had six of the Moody Blues seven big concept albums of the late 1960s and early 1970s in LP format, but somehow I’d never acquired “In Search of the Lost Chord.” Since there’s no complete box set of the band, I thought I’d like to have it to complete the collection. So I bought it on vinyl at my local used books/records place last week. It sounds great.
