Might be becoming my favourite Sabs. 55 years old yesterday(!) Ha! Time stands still when you’re having fun. #blacksabbath #masterofreality #nowplaying

Farewell to our friend, Jim. Not me…a friend from Scotland. Owner of the finest pub in town! With a Glaswegian accent thick enough it took a deaf Canuck like me a bit of time to decipher. So many good times! I remember asking him what his favourite scotch was. He said, “Ach, I drenk tequila!” 🤣

Another one I picked up as a result of the Kiss trade-in. And I think my IQ went up ten points, too. 🤣 #jangarbarek #keithjarrett #palledanielsson #jonchristensen #belonging #nowplaying

A concept album about the F-104 “Widowmaker” by members of Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies with help from the Bonzo’s Viv Stanshall and Traffic’s Jim Capaldi. What’s not to like? #robertcalvert #hawkwind #pinkfairies #roythomasbaker #nowplaying

Been wanting this on LP for quite some time. Fantastic record! Accidentally captured with the “Canadian Forest Fire” filter… #midnightblue #kennyburrell #nowplaying

Traded in those Kiss records and picked up some worthy replacements!! #sesamestreet #jimhenson #sesamestreetfever #nowplaying

Always top of mind these days. 🤣 My mom gave me a bible when I left home and I just cracked it open a couple nights ago…35 years later?!

Don’t know if these guys are among the Michiganders blaming Canada for wildfire smoke, but if they are they can fuck off, too. #grandfunk #americaisafuckingdisgrace #idiocracy

Fixed my friend’s turntable and couldn’t bring myself to charge him. I said “Have you got any records you want to get rid of?” He brought this but I could tell he really didn’t want to part with it. I’ll listen to it a few times and give it back. I’m a natural businessman for sure. 🤣

Pretty cool bit of history from inside the thrashed Ampeg. It seems the power transformer cooked back in 1978 and was replaced with a Canadian-made Hammond. And by Winnipeg legend, Gar Gillies no less.

Wanted some more headphone goodness but didn’t feel like Floyd tonight. Supertramp isn’t cool but Crime of the Century is a fantastic album to me. 🤌 #supertramp #rogerhodgson #rickdavies #crimeofthecentury #nowplaying #vinyl

I knew the hits from the early 80’s but in the past couple years I’ve been enjoying the early years of the APP. #alanparsons #alanparsonsproject #nowplaying #vinyl #edgarallanpoe

Comps aren’t cool, but this is a great selection of tunes! Argus is the high water mark for sure but this is a great snippet of the peak Wishbone Ash. #wishboneash #nowplaying #argus #vinyl

It’s been a year since the great Mick Ralphs left the building. One of my biggest guitar heroes and apparently one of the nicest and funniest people you could meet. #mickralphs #motthehoople #braincapers #nowplaying #vinyl

A good chunk of Savoy Brown outshining their alma mater. Killer version of Muddy Waters’ I Just Want To Make Love To You. #foghat #lonesomedave #rodthebottle #nowplaying #vinyl

Another lifted from work in the old days. I vividly remember Neil Young appearing on SNL when he played Rockin’ In The Free World and No More in his Toronto Maple Leaf patched jeans. Maybe I was a born dinosaur but that seemed pretty goddamn contemporary for a 40-something guy at the time. 🇨🇦

Downer time. You just have to do it every so often… #rogerwaters #thefinalcut #vinyl #nowplaying

Son, grab your things, I’ve come to take you home. #petergabriel #solsburyhill #hipgnosis #vinyl #nowplaying

My favourite Hendrix studio record. Concise classics and spacey jams. Man, I love 1983, A Merman I Should Turn to Be. #jimihendrix #electricladyland #nowplaying #vinyl

More guitar genius. And the funkiest Hendrix LP. #jimihendrix #bandofgypsys #nowplaying #vinyl

Too long since the last Bill Nelson fix. #bebopdeluxe #billnelson #nowplaying #vinyl

Oh to ‘ave seen the ‘oo at this point in time. Insane that Pete was considered a “basic” guitarist. #thewho #liveatleeds #nowplaying #vinyl

Heard Alex, Geddy and Anika tackled the whole 2112 side the other night! It may have been to celebrate the 50th birthday of the track…or maybe because we’re living *in* the fucking track. 🤷‍♂️ #rush #2112 #nowplaying #vinyl #🇨🇦

Yet another gem from 1971. My favourite from the days Alice Cooper referred to the whole band. @alicecooper #loveittodeath @1971 #nowplaying #vinyl

1971 mail order Cream comp I found at Europa in Stirling, Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #jackbruce #ericclapton #gingerbaker #cream #nowplaying #vinyl

My favourite Golden Earring? A case could be made! We play All Day Watcher and Thousand Feet Below you from this record. That ADW riff?! 🤌 #goldenearring #georgekooymans #barryhay #rinusgerritsen #cesarzuiderwijk #nowplaying #vinyl #musiconvinyl

Seemed like the logical follow up! #deeppurple #madeineurope #nowplaying #vinyl

Don’t know that I’ve ever listened from start to finish? Checking it out tonight and can’t imagine it being well received at the time. The title track rips in an early Judas Priest kinda way though and that’s awesome. #deeppurple #stormbringer #nowplaying #vinyl

Pride of The Hague, Golden Earring! Totally in love with their early 70’s output especially. Wall of Dolls, Seven Tears, Together and Moontan is an amazing run. Lots of great material after that but that’s the core for me. 🤌

Love these guys. And I love Hipgnosis artwork. 🤌 #10CC #howdareyou #hipgnosis #nowplaying #vinylsky
