So, I’m not sure what ever prompted me to buy this album. Undoubtedly, it was one of the DJ’s over on RealPunkRadio.com. But I felt the need to buy it, so I did. When it arrived, I was not prepared for it to be factory sealed still.
That would be, Factory sealed since 1987. This record was pristine, a virgin, if you will. Back in the day I would have ripped the plastic off like a college boy taking the wrapper off a condom. But this gave me pause. It’s not that I thought it had any real collectors ‘value’, nor would I really care. It was just the fact that opening a 27 year old record, just seemed to be a little daunting.
Fortunately for me, A podcast I listen to, Red Red Wine on a Sunday may want to include one of the songs on his podcast.
So, I busted the seal and ripped that vinyl to digital today, and it felt good. That record had all the musty dankness of a record that had been stored in someones deep dark basement for all of those 27 years.
And yet, it played perfectly.
Cool record man! Nice to open something old, and get somethin’ NEW outta the deal!
Hey ‘Bubba, just wanted to say thanks for the Java stout advice & tips. I’m not much into hard ciders but the graff looks good!
looks like you work your ass off at the compound so I think you deserve all those records you order ( all 10,000 of em 🙂
Hah! Thanks Jack! Good luck on the stout. The Graff is bubbling away nicely. Once I’m done with that, I may have to try a stout myself. Been far too long since I’ve made one.
