Bruiser Brody Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Still in shrink wrap, Beatles Red and Blue Double albums on cassette from Capitol/Apple Records (4 cassettes total). Send me a s.a.s.e and they're yours.First PM gets 'em.
Bruiser Brody Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Cassette? What's that? HA!! I know man! I say the same thing about CDs these days. No use for 'em other than burning/trading/archiving.
Bruiser Brody Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Goners!Baddmann - tried responding back but kept getting a SQL error from the board. I'll try again later.
Imiss85 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Goners!Baddmann - tried responding back but kept getting a SQL error from the board. I'll try again later.Got the response (several times, lol) yeah, I've been having issues with my PMs, Thanks! My middle son is partially hearing impared so I have to drive him out of the way a half hour to school each day then to work. I can only handle so much sports radio and Bob and Tom during the week So needless to say, some Beatles on the way back is a warm welcome! I really appreciate it.
MCChris Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Played the hell out of these on 8-track when I was younger. Would have gone for it if they weren't on cassette.Watched part of the Lennon documentary on VH1 Classic last night and remembered how much I loved those tunes.
Brooks Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 i'm reading that complete abbey road sessions book right now.
elduave Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 That Red album on cassette brings back memories. My cousins and I would huddle around one of those old Panasonic (red, in fact) cassette players listening to that tape over and over and over, figuring out harmonies. Good times.
cmatthes Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Gawd - the Panasonic "Funky Set"? Rounded bright red thing with a smoky plastic door? Steve and I lived on that thing in the formative years. The Red and Blue albums (ours were vinyl) were big building blocks starting in middle school. Great stuff.

Found pics of the 80's one (slightly different).Yep - ours was the mid-70s model in all its pre-Bicentennial-era grooviness and glory...Hard to believe that at the time, the Beatles Red (White) and Blue albums were younger than Nirvana's "Nevermind" is today.
Bruiser Brody Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 Hard to believe that at the time, the Beatles Red (White) and Blue albums were younger than Nirvana's "Nevermind" is today.Wow..that's right! Yet another reminder of how fast time flies.
MCChris Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Hard to believe that at the time, the Beatles Red (White) and Blue albums were younger than Nirvana's "Nevermind" is today.I think about stuff like that all the time. Recently while watching "The Buddy Holly Story" I realized that he died 16 years before I bought my first two albums. Sixteen years ago from now, Metallica's Black Album came out. When I was a kid Buddy Holly seemed like he existed an eternity ago; in middle age, the Black Album seems like it came out yesterday.
Bruiser Brody Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 I think about stuff like that all the time. Me too esp when ya run across things like this...and he's old!! Born in 1984!hahahttp://www.myspace.com/bassckI was at guitar resurrection a few weeks ago and I heard some beautiful Hendrix being played..very light overdrive, great bends and vibrato, hitting the notes with confidence, really playing from the heart. I peek around the corner and it's a 9 or 10 year old little kid playing! That was cool!
David B Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I remember buying Beatles albums as a kid thinking they were very old. They had only been broken up for 7 or 8 years.
Guest Meshuggah Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I have the White album. What is this talk about red and blue?
Brooks Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Recently while watching "The Buddy Holly Story" I realized that he died 16 years before I bought my first two albums. Sixteen years ago from now, Metallica's Black Album came out. When I was a kid Buddy Holly seemed like he existed an eternity ago; in middle age, the Black Album seems like it came out yesterday.part of that is the huge evolution in rock music from the late 50's to the late 70's;we went from archaic sounding rockabilly to judas priest/sabs/zep, from twangy fenders thru tweed amps to crunching gibsons & stompboxes thru marshalls. rock has changed since the 70's, but not as dramatically IMFO.
