If someone looked through you music (records, CDs, etc.) what would surprise them?
This actually was a bit of a happening with a friend. In looking though my...special pressings, gold Cds, SACDs, and other esoteric "software sources" he was surprised at the Rosie Clooney ones. In her later life she did some CDs of "standards" and she nailed 'em.
Just the fact that I have so much of it would probably be the first and biggest surprise. I don't wear headphones around all the time (or any of the time), and I rarely talk about music at all. I think it would come as a surprise to just about everybody that I listen to music as much as I do.
Lots of NWOBHM 7”’s 12”’s, LP’s did a lot of trading in the early 80’s. had several trade buddies in Europe, ide send some cassettes, records, etc, in return I would get a lot of rare British rock/pre-metal stuff.
Still have most,still in touch with my friends across the pond.
For me my musical taste goes everywhere with the majority of my collection centered around R&B, Rock and country but the lack of not one offering from Frank Sinatra surprised even myself and I need to rectify that. Enjoy the music
What's funny about that is, I bought a record from a guy one time supposed to be "Hot Stamper" quality and that is exactly what surprised me too, the amount of cat hair.
Wait, I thought cat hair on a special pressing LPs just gave them more.....ah, you know, texture? The last cat I had would sit for very long periods of time trying to "catch" the cursor on my computer monitor...sometimes on the front of the screen and sometimes on the back... more than once I lost a mouthful of coffee onto the screen from laughing.
In the approx. 1300 classic rock, jazz, blues, etc. lps they'll find a nine pack of Michael Jackson seven inch 45's. Can't remember where they came from.
-Only one Pink Floyd album, Wish You Were Here. First Japanese pressing LP. -Five LP copies of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis. Two Japanese, three US, all original pressings.
@dayglow no Bowie? Blasphemy! Haha! Yeah, being a drummer, most of my music leans on the rhythm side with some great musicians and particularly drummers. But, they would be surprised by the wild variety of different styles.
