Something Trivial you learned on back of album cover
Forums:
One of the best things about vinyl...getting home, unwrapping cellophane, carefully pulling album out and dropping it on turntable...needle starts to crawl into first grooves...
And sit down and start to read....every little detail...(after admiring artwork, of course)
Thats where i learned little tidbits like the producer for most Grand Funk albums was Kram Renraf.
Im not sure how many listens it took to realize that was guitarist marc farner spelled backwards.
Lovin the vinyl resurgance....whatya got?

Metallica hates Laramie,
Metallica really hates Laramie, Wyoming. I lived in that god forsaken shit hole (ironically, the cultural hub of the state) for six years and therefore can completely understand.
From the back of the Kill em All album:
SPECIALLY HUGE AMOUNTS OF HATRED AND CESS RIDDEN FILTH TO THE POOR DOWNTRODEN VICTIMS THAT FOLLOW:
U-Haul; Laramie, Wyoming; . . .
No 2 spot!

I got my first vinyl copy of
I got my first vinyl copy of Terrapin Station from (probably) the Columbia Record Club shortly after it came out in '77. On the inner edge of vinyl , next to the label , there are often #'s etched in. That early pressing was inscribed " Where do you keep your speakers, Jerry ?". I no longer have that copy, and the later pressing I got 10 years later does not have that ...
