Dekay, I seem to remember an audiophile LP version of Marrying Maiden
from some years ago. Have you come across that? (It kind of surprised
me because I always thought the album had rather mediocre sonics,
compared to their first, for example.)
Like Dekay, I rarely groove out any more. But over the course of my
entire music-loving life, here were some that I positively wore out,
mostly from the puberty and early adolesence era (isn't that the time
when particular music can really infiltrate our DNA? Later on, not so
much.)
Beatles, Rubber Soul
Donovan, Sunshine Superman
Steppenwolf (first album)
Dylan, Blonde on Blonde
Country Joe & the Fish, Electric Music...
Cream, Wheels of Fire
Big Brother, Cheap Thrills
Dead, Live/Dead, Workingman's and American Beauty
Jefferson Airplane, Volunteers
Stones, Let It Bleed
Kind of Blue
My first recording of The Four Seasons (ECO on Phillips)
American Beauty is probably the single album I played most. For about
6 months after it came out, I must have played it 6 times a day.
There were lots of others, but these came to mind. Gives you a sense of
my musical coming of age (and an idea of my age, too). Nothing gets
played that much these days. These days, I buy too much music. When
I was younger, I would spring for a couple of records and really immerse
myself in them. Also, that seems harder to do with CDs (no cover art to
relate to).
