Description
Sometime about the turn of the century I realized that I could afford to get the records I never bought. These records weren't rare jazz or blues pressings, although Mississippi John Hurt's original Okeh sessions would certainly be a prize. Instead, I wanted to reproduce record collections I knew from years ago. Albums like Max Roach's "We Insist! Freedom Now Suite", Chico Hamilton's "Drumfusion" (both tough to find even in my college years), Sandy Bull, and Frummox's "Here To There" (an album which qualified as obscure even when it was released), and The Flying Burrito Brothers' "Gilded Palace of Sin" were on my list.
I wanted the albums for their connection to memories rather than for artistic merit, historical context, or collectible value. Besides, some album jackets, e.g., King Crimson's "Court of the Crimson King", Jethro Tull's "Stand Up", and Dave Mason's eponymous album with the marbleized record and double gatefold were inherently cool. (Hey! Even my mother thought Mason's album was cool.)
I started collecting records at garage and tag sales, but the more elusive albums required haunting eBay until someone told me about the Record Collectors Anonymous show.
