    There you go Robert! I agree about Rod Stewart, probably wouldn't touch anything other than Every Picture, though I do enjoy his American Standards albums. Good luck in clearing the space!

    Another great topic and video.
    I was about to purge my two copies of Saturday Night Fever when this guy who just got on my bus said," You know I didn't always work in the County Administration Building 🏫.
    I used to be the lead singer of The Tramps. I replied, you mean like Disco Inferno? He answered, Yea, and a whole lot more!
    So, I held onto both copies.
    As far as Rod Stewart is concerned:
    (1) Never A Dull Moment
    (2) Every Picture Tells A Story
    (3) Gasoline Alley
    But I also really like A Night On The Town, Foot Loose And Fancy 🆓, and Blondes Have More Fun. But I'm partial. I walked into The Blue 🐦 Parrot bar on Prospect in La Jolla and asked this voluptuous woman if she did nails. Bill Wyman was standing next to her and asked me, Why did you ask her that? I ignored him and walked up to the bar. The bartender asked me, Do you like Rod Stewart? I said, Sure.
    He said, You want to hand him this Manhattan? I handed it to Rod and Rod said, Thanks Mate.

    Shout out to Belleville! I grew up just up the road from you in the city of the 1000 Islands...Brockville! I always have a reject pile going, and usually every 6 months or so I am bringing them to my favorite shop in Boston to trade for store credit. It comes down to a shelf space issue for me. If I'm not listening to it, it's time to part ways.

    Hey Robert, Good to catch up with you here. I understand that, the need to let go of a few things now and then. I did here and there over the last couple years. Lots of good ones here for others to enjoy. :-) 'Points on the curve' is still one of my favorite pop/rock albums. I even have it on 3 formats, ha.

    Hi Robert: C'mon 1K subs! I totally understand the desire to purge to obtain more space. I purged frequently in the past, but I don't do it very much anymore. Apparently, I wasn't very good at it. Unfortunately, I have found myself looking for albums and CDs that I thought that I had, looked on my inventory after not seeing them in my collection, and was surprised that they just weren't there. Lamentable re-purchasing! However, you appear quite deliberate about your decisions with much better albums to put in place. I am sure that you will be happy! You have some excellent trade bait there. Go for it! 👍😀. Rock Always! - Heather

    • @RobertsOnMyTurntable
      @RobertsOnMyTurntable  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    An interesting Purge
    Especially the Rod Stewart was because Atlantic crossing through footloose and fancy 3 are a trifecta of just great rock and roll.
    Session musicians he had with him then were just something else some of the best heavy hitters around and some of my favorite Rockin Rod albums

    Funny, I just picked up that Gary Numan "Dance" for cheap. I haven't heard it in years and had a hanckering. A very chill record. Have it on CD. I found that Rod Stewart "Footloose & Fancy Free" in a dollar bin other day. After one play, purge! Going in the donate box. I raided the dollar bins at some local stores just to see and give stuff a chance like Schlager, country, disco or rock. I'm not going to resell, I just donate to Goodwill thrift stores. You will get that back 10 fold in the future, trust me.

    I definitely understand the need for purging from time to time. Right now, I'm just looking to beef up my collection as much as possible because of an unwanted purge I had to do a few years back. Most of those you are purging I would agree with personally except for maybe Gary Numan, New Order, Van Halen, and especially Yello (I'm a big Yello fan and I'm missing that one). But, if you don't care for them or don't listen to them, it's totally understandable.

    Hey Robert, I guess we all face the same situation, records that we wonder, "Why did I buy this?" Ones that we've listened to once and set on the shelf and forgotten. I really don't care for the Bee Gee's Saturday Night Fever era at all, but I do love their earlier music. Maybe you can find some interested person who is just starting out in the VC in Canada and VCLT him (or her) a bunch of these. Just an idea 🥁🎸😊.
