    Love this shop ! I read your comment to Mark.. Circle Jerks would have been the one to go home with ! I hear there's a good record store up in Cheyenne ! 😊

      JT, you just never know what you will find. I almost bypassed this shop as it was mostly metal but I figured lots of people who watch my channel love metal. MoFi Gerry Rafferty made my day

    That store looks like it would be a metal fan's dream! I believe Neil has released almost all of his concerts legitimately in his archive series. This makes the bootlegs obsolete.🤔 You passed up Silverchair - Frogstomp, a great grunge album by a bunch of teens from 95! Well done on picking up the Mofi. That's one of the few metal albums I own, classic Ozzy. Have a great week, Steve.

      I use to have Silverchair in CD, it was pretty good. It was the Circle Jerks alum I wish I had grabbed. It was a neat shop Mark I really considered the Young bootleg but then figured how often do I listen to him, not that often so I showed self control!

    Good morning Steve. Looks like a nice shop. Definitely good for metal collectors. Where you contemplating the Ben Folds album? Some people love City To City. It was sent to me via the VC Love Train. Very good songwriting. He was a talented guy. I have "Repercussion" by the DB's. Excellent band. Way to go Steve~

The Normals, I have music from two groups of Normals, one from Sweden and one from the US. I saw two more with that name. I guess it’s a normal name to use Mike I love the early Db, a little rougher and tougher sounding! Have an awesome week Mike

    Interesting store, I did watch you peruse the albums and I was surprised you passed on some of them. How could you pass on Liberace? Also Ozzy's "The Ultimate Sin" is a better all around album than "Bark At The Moon". The funny thing was at the Ultimate Sin tour he opened with the Bark at the Moon song. It was at Pine Knob and Metallica opened for him and their Bassist Cliff Burton played so I felt lucky to see him because a few months later he passed in the tour bus accident. Rowdy Concert but i had a great time.
