Billy Joel - An Innocent Man on Record Album

This is one of my albums by Billy Joel. As a pianist, I think that I’m supposed to love the song Piano Man more than anything else, but I don’t. I’m sick of hearing it by every hack pianist in the world.
An Innocent Man had some great songs, such as “Uptown Girl”, “The Longest Time” [...]

Coverdale Page on Vinyl Record

About 15 years ago, this album came out. I still remember hearing it on the radio, as it got a lot of airplay. However, it took a long time to actually hear who it was. David Coverdale of Whitesnake and Deep Purple, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Great combination. I think they really had [...]

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery Album on Vinyl

As a keyboard player, I love Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Keith Emerson is a phenomenal pianist and composer, and it shows on this album, Brain Salad Surgery.

Yes, the title is a little different, but don’t let it scare you. It is a lyric from Dr. Johns song “Right Place, Wrong Time.”
This was ELP’s fourth album, [...]

The Biggest Record Show in the World. The Last Record Store.

Ok, so maybe I’m a little behind the curve here, but I just saw that there is a record convention in Austin, Texas that is the biggest in the world. The Austin Record Convention has been meeting since 1981, brings in over 300 dealers, and over 1 million records, tapes, CD’s, and even an 8-track [...]

Cream - Disraeli Gears on 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl Record

When I was at the record shop the other day, I saw a great classic album that I immediately picked up. Cream - Disraeli Gears on 180 gram virgin vinyl. Sweet!

It was brand new, unopened on 180 gram vinyl! I was surprised to see it their, as the owner didn’t have a lot of new [...]

Local Record Stores. Keeping the Vinyl Record Industry Alive.

Well, I finally found a good record store in my town. There are so many places that have some records, but those are in pretty bad shape, and there’s not a lot to choose from.
Checkered Records, however, was exactly what I was looking for. They don’t have a website, and are only open Thursday, Friday [...]

Vinyl Albums For Sale. Musicstack Has Rare Vinyl Records.

I’ve been around the ‘net for a while. I’ve seen a lot of sites out there that have CD’s and a few records, but when you are looking for something rare and not so popular, they don’t have it. Musicstack is different. I have been on this site a few times and have found everything [...]

Supertramp - Breakfast in America

Todays record is “Breakfast in America” by Supertramp. I love this album. Of course, I guess I say I love every album I have, but that’s beside the point. “The Logical Song” is one of my all-time favorite songs.
This is a great album, you can buy it and find out for yourself at MusicStack.
You can [...]

USB Record Player. Put Your Vinyl on CD or MP3

I have a lot of albums on vinyl. The only problem with this is that I can’t really take them with me anywhere. My friends don’t have record players, cars don’t have record players (although it was tried unsuccessfully in the 50’s). I need something like this to convert my records to either CD or [...]
