Bob Dylan - Slow Train Coming (CBS/Columbia Records FC36120 - 1979)

I've kind of been avoiding this one for a while. I never really felt good about Dylan's Christian phase. Still, it's not a bad record. I assume Lans bought this one for himself. The condition was mint. Amazon is selling this one for 11 dollars.

The Byrds - Preflyte (Together Records ST-T-1001 - 1963)

This was mine and I probably bought it because it was in the cheapie bin and I was favorably disposed to The Byrds... but it's not like I bought their BEST albums. Still the vinyl sounded like new although there might have been a little skip or perhaps it was that bug that I saw walking on the disc when I flipped it over to do the B side. There isn't a copyright date on this disc. The data coming down from the Net said 1968 and the liner notes mention 1963. I believe both may be right. It was recorded in '63 and released as an "Archival" thing in '68. Amazon has it in stock for 14 bucks.

On a second listen, there seems to be an issue in "The Reason Why" at about 1:48 into the track. I can't tell if it came from the LP that way or was introduced downstream of there.

Kris Kristofferson - Surreal Thing (Monument PZ34254 - 1976)

Arlo Guthrie - Arlo Guthrie (Reprise/Rising Sun 1974)

This is one from the "Was it really worth it?" category. This cut-out album from Lans' collection has its jacket corner clipped and the disc is warped to the point where the outer track on each side of the album won't play without skipping but the inner tracks play OK. I recorded all the tracks that would play and I purchased the two missing tracks from iTunes. I had to do some shuffling around and reburning to merge the purchased tracks with the LP tracks and to burn an archival disc. The tracks that would play sounded good but the hoops I had to jump through were enough of a pain that I probably should have just bought the whole thing for 99 cents a track from iTunes or bought the album from Amazon for $18.

David Bromberg - Demon In Disguise (Columbia C31753 - 1972)
