So, in the process of reconnecting with vinyl I am also rediscovering my fairly extensive vinyl collection. Here’s one that I forgotten I owned. A nice clean remastering of a true classic, which never sounded all that good on the original US pressings.

For all us old timers, something from when vinyl was king:
What is the most important information in that photo?
For bonus points: what is the record? There are several clues present but here are a few more - great record with fantastic sound.

My highschool symphony band had 150+ people in it. Some would have the music memorized quicker than others.
The drummers weren’t what I would call shy, so I heard a lot about this guy with like 18 -censored- arms man.
My local record store had this LP for the same price as their latest release.
My copy has seen better days.

Ah, that brings back memories. Proust had a point.
Almost every cut on that album got heavy FM, when FM was still cool, air play.

I was looking through some vinyl when I stumbled across a Record Store Day (2017) Dead boxset. The retailer still had one unopened even and had it at 35% off. The check out person said, yeah no one knows we sell records.
Now I know.

Yeah, it started with an email from an online place stating they had 3 copies. But the price made me laugh.
I threw the barcode out as a google search. and my local Target had a copy. 
Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Funny you should say that as I have bought some good deals at my local Target as well but I usually forget all about them selling vinyl as well 
Sounds like a trip tomorrow is on the cards.

I left because they actually had a lot of things I was thinking well . . .

I love that artwork. It’s nice that all the previous albums are squeezed in one way or another. I think they also used the same female model from the ‘Permanent Waves’ album cover.
I read somewhere that Hugh Syme originally wanted the artwork to be a black cover, with just the pink tail of Snagglepuss ( catchphrase “Exit Stage Left”) but Hanna-Barbera said no.
I’m actually glad that they did
