When I was growing up, we had a big stereo in the living room. One of those that was furniture first and stereo second. One day I came in and saw that album laying on top of it. I’d never seen or heard of it before. Actually, I don’t think I’d ever seen any Who albums before – I was in grade school.
I picked it up and looked at it.
Tommy
the who
I thought the album was named “Tommy the who”.
Hey, I was just a kid.

Organissimo is a Michigan based jazz B3 trio. Okay, yes, I used the J word there, but one of their albums is called “B3tles”. Available at a YouTube near you.

That link says it was a B-3. fwiw.

Maximum R&B.
If there was a “hit” on that album, that was it. All time classic rock anthem.
Most of my life, I said the best live rock album of all time was Live at Leeds – another album with minimalist artwork on the cover. And lots of competition to be best live album ever. But hard to argue with a band that had arguably the best rhythm section in R&R history.
Mona and Lisa said they saw The Who in Australia. That must have been awesome for them. They were pretty young.

You grow up, learn a few things, and you…

and nope, that’s not a Hammond organ…

Billy sure looks completely comfortable. Sings, plays, does the choreography, the whole 9 yards. And looks like a pro doing it.

I’d never seen that video before, thanks for posting that.
I don’t consider myself a collector. I bought music to listen to, and yes, mostly past tense. YouTube is pretty efficient at that these days, and I’m trying to downsize a bit.
But this exercise today tells me I need to reorganize the vinyl. I haven’t been playing those much and saw a bunch of stuff I had forgotten I have. Maybe I’ll borrow the idea of putting the jackets on the wall too.
And I found that Dark Side of the Moon album that I thought I’d lost forever! lol.

My mother liked Herb Alpert, I remember this album being around when I grew up.
She had a lot of his albums, and I listened to them. I’ll bet this one is over at my sister’s house right now.

Sticky Fingers is one of the very few albums I bought right when it was released. I remember walking from my high school, through the park and into downtown and going to a Federal’s department store and buying it. It’s one of my favorite Stones albums.
I just tried to find Their Satanic Majesty’s Request album, since the copy I have has the 3D cover so it seemed appropriate for this thread. I’m sure both of those Stones albums are in that stack of vinyl somewhere…but I haven’t found them yet.
An investment? I know the 3D cover version of TSMR is worth money, maybe $100. Didn’t know SF was valuable too. Interesting.
But it’s kind of like having Mona and Lisa autograph their albums. It’s nice, and I like it. But the only reason for me to like the price of them appreciating is because it means they’d be getting the fame they deserve. I’m not ever going to sell them.
Edit: Okay, I got more serious about it and found them. My SF does indeed have the zipper. Here’s TSMR with the 3D plastic on it. And the web says SF with the zipper is worth around $100 too.

Thanks, I thought you would know the answer. Interesting, I never looked at Custom Shop before, I just took a look.

Not sure I ever heard this before. Dave ‘Baby’ Cortez was from Detroit.

That is a great vid. I’m sitting here wondering how it is that I’ve never seen it before(?). So I type “Blind Faith” into Google, and it shows me the DVD this came from!
Hmmm, I still have the song playing on YouTube, and Google already knows to show me this? That’s a pretty tight coordination between the two biggest websites on the planet, the two biggest flavors of Alphabet soup.
Ginger Baker was a great drummer. Always thought he was a bit busy, and a bit busy here too.
Clapton doesn’t really look like Clapton, but he sounds like him. What is he playing? I would guess a Tele, just based on the pickups.
Winwood recorded “I’m a Man” in ’67 when he was 19, so that would make him 21 here? Still looking really young.
