Herb's most tossed away LP

[Jay Maynes/Juan Oskar]

I got these quotes from Spectropop. Do we dispose of old records like we throw out old magazines? What do you think? Later......Jay

"Interestingly enough the single most tossed away LP was Herb
Alpert's "Whipped cream and other Delights"...how can this be?? On
the grounds of its cover alone it's a keeper."

"Seems to me it's just fallout from the millions of LPs Herb moved
back in his day, most of them to the sort of people who'd dispose
of old records almost as easily as they'd throw out old magazines."

They're as common as used copies of Eagles' Greatest Hits, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees...IOW, you see them everywhere.

I hate to admit it, but I threw away my share of Herb Alpert albums (including Whipped Cream) years ago. Along with selling my 68 Chevelle Malibu, 63 Ford Galaxy and 57 Chevy truck.
I keep thinking of that scene from "Raiders" when an archeologist is exclaiming he is wearing a $5.00 watch and if he were to throw it into the sand, a thousand years later it will be priceless."

 

[Rudy]

I was thinking, too, that a lot of these copies may have been unplayable anyway--left out of their jackets for months on end, played on crude equipment that was common back in the 60's. No keepers, in other words.

And then again, maybe the jackets got wore out!

Mr Bill, you are SO BAD!!
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the title "Whipped Cream"! :goofygrin:

I have the original plastic still on the jackets of all my old record albums. They still look new 35 years later. HOW ANAL IS THAT? Later...amigos........Jay

 

[Dave]

Hmmm...gives me an idea of how many "Junk Records" there are out there...and which ones are commonly seen anywhere from Thrift Stores to curbsides to alleys!

...a "demolisher" of throw-aways, as well... :bigevil:

In an effort to be even "badder" (batter?) may I suggest we change the subject line of this thread from "Most Tossed Out" to "Most Tossed Upon"????
