Lucky man -- somehow my 45s all diseappeared in one or two of my moves. . . :(

I had about 20, including a few oddly shaped editions & coloured vinyl editions. . .

Same, but it was easier using his method of just reading them from a page. . .

And there's the tune "Lucky Man" by ELP.

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Oooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

Oooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honour and his glory
The people would sing

Oooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Oooh, what a lucky man he was

I had about 20, including a few oddly shaped editions &
coloured vinyl editions. . .

I managed to amass a bit over 400 from 1967 to 1975, (then I
focused on LPs). I don't recall too many coloured ones, but
those, in good condition could fetch a good price. The ones
with "photo" sleeves are also decent collectible prices; I
might just have about 20 of those.

I've always loved that song, since finding it cheap at a Flea Market in the '80s. . .

I have the LP downstairs on the IKEA shelves with 1,500+ other albums. . .

Most of my covers & sleeves are in ratched condition -- not saleable, except for sentimental value.

Consideruing I paid about $2 eachfor most, not unexpected.

I did buy one new condition Deep Purple online from a shop in Ontario -- they shipped it beautifully -- I've not played it yet as I'd prefer to preserve the vinyl & play the album (Book of Taliesyn) on YouTube. Still looking for a good price for their symphony they wrote, then recorded with the London Philharmonic.

Saw it once for $50 in a used record store downtown where I then lived, but it was 2 days ere payday & he wouldn't hold it, as he had a couple interested persons already -- it ended up selling that day or the next. . .

I'll have to check that last online store I used. . .

We have a classic rock store here in Richmond, down by the river, with lots of, mostly Brit Rock, priced at the upper end of non-auction collectibles.

Might have to go browse some time there & pick up a favourite or two each trip, just to flesh out my colection with some in shiny new condition (covers et al included)
