Good deal. My best MoFi buy was a few years ago at
a record dealers' get-together. One of them had a NM
copy of the Grateful Dead's American Beauty MoFi in a
. terribly beat up jacket at a bargain price because of the
cover. Since I don't play the covers
, I gobbled it up.
I picked-up a new (not used) Mobile Fidelity version of
Pablo Cruise, A Place in the Sun (1977), last summer
from a small rural record store for $5. Also purchased
a new copy of The Doobie Brothers, Toulouse Street
(1972) for $3. The store has most of the trapping of a
70's style head shop. It was like taking a step back in
time... well, except the store manager, she had green
hair and numerous facial piercing
.
She was probably one of those digital bigots trying to
cleanse her soul by casting out the unholy vinyl
.
LOT'S!
I also picked up a black light poster, too. Many of the
old designs from the 70's are still in print. Digging
around in an old cardboard box I found my florescent
black light. It was fun recreating the 70's environment
including burning candles and strawberry incense.
While playing The Doors, The Doobies, Dylan and
Steppenwolf I was supprised with undiscovered thoughts
and memories from the past. The only missing element
was a bottle of Boons Farm. Thankfully, the higher
quality liquor and love making didn’t take away for the
overall experience
