Salutations™!!
Here I am, making up or catching up after the weekend’s seemingly non-stop party. It started as usual with breakfast at Mary’s Gourmet Diner and then heading over to Underdog Records, where we picked up some great stuff before heading to Windsor Run Cellars and then Shadow Springs wineries (they’re owned by the same cool folks). Then on to Willows Bistro for great food and beverage. Here’s the haul for this week:

- Lennon / Plastic Ono Band – Shaved Fish
- Robert Palmer – Riptide
- The Who – Who Are You
- Stevie Nicks – Rock A Little
- Howard Jones – Dream Into Action (I had this on cassette right after it came out, I love the album version of “No One is to Blame.” The hit version was remixed by Phil Collins. Speaking of Phil Collins)

- Miklos Rozsa – Ben-Hur Deluxe Edition
- Duran Duran – Duran Duran
- Various – Zero Mostel In Fiddler On The Roof (The Original Broadway Cast Recording)

It was a light week for us, but still a lot of fun! If you’re wanting to get into (or back into) record collecting, then Underdog Records is the place to start. Old stuff, new stuff, reissues, equipment, etc. You should also use Discogs to catalog your collection!
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
