My big score from the Denver Record show. Five bucks (yep) and a very nice copy at that. I beat the Rocky Mountain showrunner to it (the other Denver show), who subsequently shook his head wildly and went "DAMN!". It was from a wacky old lady who almost refused to sell it to me. She yelled "You're just going to resell it!!". I promised her I would not, that I really wanted it for my collection (all true). It took about five minutes of prostrating myself before the court before she relented. Jeesh. This is proof positive the best stuff goes when the dealers set up. Even the early entry fee guys missed out. We'd already set up and JL took the tables while I wandered around (as per protocol). OK, lots of talk about how I obtained it, but what about the music? It's classic 60s Gabor Szabo for sure. I love his guitar style and the groove of the jazzy backdrop. It's light but intoxicating. And how about that cover? I need to find a place on the wall for it. But I would have to remove the price tag...
