kyburg | I Knew You When.... (Reply)

Back out in the garage. Filthy head to toe. Again. But this time, my part is finished. Jim and I can get into the garage and move everything out into storage - we may have to pack a box or two, but he can help me now. I've got through all the storage boxes full of things that haven't seen the light of day in ten years.

Did I find anything special?

Does a box of 45rpm vinyl count?

These are my records. No, you don't understand. THESE ARE MY 45's - if I find that Gerry & the Pacemakers disc, it will be the 45's I've had since I was 5 years old. "Synchronicity II" - the Police, original pressing. "What I Like About You" - the Romantics on Rock'n Mania records. Donny Osmond. *shiver* Yeah. Donny Osmond.

I thought I'd given all my vinyl to younger brother ages ago. What he did with the LPs, it's anyone's guess. He was using then, and likely sold them for a cheap high. I didn't care. The turntable had broken, we weren't going to get another one and we were rebuying everything on CD.

You'll pardon me if I go squee. Yup, there's Petula Clark. It's them. John Denver. Billy Joel. Michael Murphy. Tierra. Gah, there's "Key Largo."

AUGH! There it is. It's here. Gerry & the Pacemakers "How Do You Do It" - Laurie records, original pressing. Squee. SQUEEEEE!

Now, to get them moved to mp3. Yosh!
