Broken Hallelujah

» Introducing: The Beatles (or Retirement Plan #7129)

Release Date: July 22, 1963? That's disputable. There are at least 3 different back covers of the album. I have the "Titles On Back" cover.

While visiting my old home place I looked through some of my old albums I asked my Mother to keep safe for me; after a few too many methaqualone do si dos and drinking games had left many vinyl treasures broken and spent.

I pulled out a few albums from their covers and researched them on Ebay with one eye towards my dream of sailing around the world and the other eye on it's ugly step-sister, reality. With so many variables on this particular Beatles' record-- (cover, sleeve, song selection and label,) and it's 'lovingly listened to' condition, I think I'll just hang onto it.

» Only $2.99 for Zappa's 200 Motels Soundtrack from 1971? But Ringo Starr is Larry the Dwarf. 2 lps and a booklet, too, and the booklet is priceless. 2 by gawd dollars and 99 frickin' cents.

» Blonde On Blonde and Ebay asks $7.49 for my favorite Dylan album.

That's always the way. Captain, unhoist those sails. Stuff I think should be worth more is given away while I'm amazed at the high prices on some generic crap.
