Had always been told how good the Captains work was, but despite listening to heaps of music in the same vein never got to the good captains work until....

Today - OMG.... kids and I wandering around the in the bush singing "I am going to Booglarise you baby" and cracking up with laughter

Have to put CB up there with the first time I heard Beasts of Bourbon and The Stones (circa Beggars Banquet /eXILE) - Freakin awesome

Totally agreed. I have a complete collection of Zappa up to the late/mid '80s.

I think you'd have to have pretty keen ears to hear a Bee fart. Better than mine, anyways.

I would, but I don't know how to get them off those big black vinyl things. (Do they have vids on them things?)

I have a bunch of "those big black vinyl things" too and one of those round and round thingys that magically by some mysterious process fills my house with beautiful sound.

Some places sell these different round and round thingys that let you get the sound off the big black vinyl things onto the little silver things but it is really complicated and takes ages.

My big black vinyl things sound really good so I just content myself with them.

I still have some of my outstanding hifi stuff from the '70s - linear tracking DC servo controlled turntable and AR16 speakers being the best. I can get the sound off them OK, and it's as quick as playing the records. Just that the original request was, "Well don't just talk about them. Post some of their vids." It's the vids I can't seem to extract .

I listen to them too. Pure recorded music has been largely lost with modern digital stuff, don't you think?

Bring back big, round black, vinyl thingies!! Yay!!
