<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4424323, member: 10944"]Just going on a hunch but I have no idea. When I was a kid I dragged my fathers box of vinyl out of a closet or the basement or somewhere. It was a really fun discovery process for a young music lover. The Black Sabbath paranoid cover cried out to me! “Play me!!!”. Inagaddadavida or however it’s spelled blew my mind. Grateful Dead Workingman’s Dead looked so cool! I detested it. Now I’m a huge Dead fan though. I found a copy of The Who Live at Leeds. I opened it up, probably the first time in at least 20+ years anyone had touched it. What I found was documents, signed documents, important documents. Probably some photos too. I hit the mother load! Somehow my father had ended up with a band members or band managers copy of the record. I had a Woodstock contract SIGNED! Holy sh*t! Rock n roll treasure! Worthy of the RR HOF buying and displaying it. This was in the 90s. The internet wasn’t quite as much of a thing. Somehow I still did some research at found out that a certain number of copies of this album were released with facsimile contracts and documents for collectors. SH*T back to being poor and without any important belongings in an instant. Maybe it was that punch in the gut that inspired me to try to collect things that do or may end up having importance. Maybe you have one of those editions? Dang British tricksters. Maybe the real treasure was connecting with my father via his music. Cheesy silver lining to wrap it up lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
