The Beatles - Back In 1964 At The Hollywood Bowl (ROIO 1972)
Vinyl Spin of the Day.
I bought this album in 1975 for $2.00, probably at the original Aron's Records store on Melrose. That was two years before Capitol finally released the Hollywood Bowl material on LP. I like the boot better because it contains the complete show while the "official" release jumbled songs from both the 1964 and 1965 performances. Sound quality is quite decent, considering the source material.

Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac (1975, Expanded Edition 2018)
There are numerous Deluxe, Super Deluxe and vinyl reissues of this classic. When I decided to upgrade, upon studying all of the reissues, I settled on the Expanded Edition. The first disc contains a sparkling remaster of the original album plus four single mixes. Disc #2 adds a dozen demos and a live performance from the Warner Bros. Sound Stage. More than that, I do not need. Happily, I was even able to trade out my old CD on Music Boomerang. It’s a win-win!

I 'member when that came out. I'd been listening to Fleetwood Mac for years: Then Play On, Kiln House, Future Games, Mystery to Me.
During the winter that the stations were playing the singles, I was working somewhere around Indiana, PA, and later just south of Erie, PA. We were cutting Christmas trees and bailing them to be trucked away. A difficult job made harder by the winter cold and wind chill. When we were working south of Erie, we experienced the lake effect, with blowing snow and a wind chill said to dip to 30 degrees below zero.
You might not be surprised to hear that I quit that job two weeks into it, about 10 days before it was to finish. Sonny, a friend of mine by that time, and I made it to Erie International Airport to fly back home. We found the airport was closed for the night before we got there.
Anyway, I remember telling people that this was a new incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. Nobody cared.

Spotify's "This is Mana" playlist
Initial nominees came out yesterday for the Rock and Roll HOF (final inductees later this year) and for the first time ever didn't recognize an artist - that's on me - Mana is apparently huge in Mexico/Latin America with a career spanning from the 1980s. Oops! They are a long shot compared to New Order/Joy Division, The White Stripes or even Billy Idol, but who knows
So listening now
