My vinyl obsession began at a pretty young age. My 6 older siblings saw to that. Records were always on at our house; Sabbath, Coltrane, Stones, Fabs (of course), Tops, Temps, Miles, Eddie Cochran, Otis, from the boys, to David Cassidy, Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Elvis, Fabs (of course), from the girls. The parents offered Sinatra, Big Bands, Ink Spots, Weavers, Seegers and the other folkies, and on my own I fell in love with Elvis Costello, Blue Note, Ramones, Clash, Staples, Buddy Holly, Pretties, Fabs (of course), Stax, Johnny Cash, and so many more. |
