Oh, good. While you're up to all that, think you could track down a copy of
Super Freego's sole album? Oxy and the Morons' "War"? The original Blorp
Essette album with Rev. Toad-Eater's "Alden Street"? The first "Between"
album, featuring James Galway playing Krautrock? Roz Croney's limbo album
with the Sun Ra Arkestra? The rare Cornelius EP where he remixes Bruce Haack?
Well, anyway, you can spend a prohibitive amount of money buying a worn out LP
by someone who is quite possibly dead and who in any case won't see the
profits, and then spend more time and energy transferring it to digital
format, or you can wait for some other enthusiast to go to all that trouble
and download it. I don't even _own_ a turntable. I own plenty of vinyl
albums, mind you, but I can't listen to them. Go figure.
