#metalmonday with this Tony Iommi release featuring Glenn Hughes on vocals. Almost like a Seventh Star reunion. Iommi - The 1996 DEP Sessions with Glenn Hughes (2004, 2024) #blacksabbath #tonyiommi #iommi #glennhughes #vinyl #records #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #recordcollection #metal

Great cast of characters on this one. Neil Young, Graham Nash, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, and members of Grateful Dead to name a few.

Aside from their 2011 album that was released after Benjamin Orr's passing, this was the only missing piece from my Cars collection.

Now this one is an original pressing, but it does come with a few scuffs. Original inners and some kid's math homework was included when I purchased it.

I still like some of the band's output after this record, but this is the last "great" album in my opinion.

In my opinion, the best Kiss album. This is the "resurrected" edition on tangerine colored vinyl.

Merle Haggard takes Philadelphia LIVE with Bonnie Owens and The Strangers. Released in 1970, this is a 1971 Pickneyville pressing.

Another early Wille record from the RCA era. This one is a comp with cuts from several different albums. Still in shrink.

I've never really got into Willie's RCA era stuff. Some of it is just a little too clean and polished for me. But when it's cheap, I pick it up.

Another Austin City Limits clearance find from the legendary Guy Clark. I guess everything I'm spinning today is green.

I can't believe this beautiful record was on clearance at the shop. One of two Austin City Limits records I picked up last week.

A clearance find I couldn't believe. Especially upon cracking it open and finding it's a color variant.

This last album is more of a compilation than a "lost album" comprised of 1994-2011 tracks that didn't fit on the other records for one reason or another.

If Western Stars was his Glen Campbell-esque album, then I guess this is his Frank Sinatra-esque album.
