That's cool.....Do you still have the CDs? I do.  Still the same copies I bought 22 years ago (roughly).  They still play just fine, though I've ripped them to my PC a long time ago and mostly listen to the digital versions.  I do though occasionally play them in my car, which has a CD player. Must be an ancient car....

I have a CD in my car and it is a 2019 lease.  I think it might be one of the last vehicles to come with a CD player.  In my old truck I bought a new stereo with bluetooth connectivity so that I could bring that one into the 21st century, but I made sure that that had a CD player too.  I'm not sure what I am going to due when the lease is up at the end of this year.  I am not looking forward to getting a vehicle without a CD Player.  I don't mind listening to music off of the phone, but when I have the physical media I like to make use out of it from time to time.  

I have a cassette deck in my car, a 2001 Civic. Almost up to 180,000 miles.

Love this cut ^

But it worked so well for ELP on Love Beach.  

Been revisiting the 2000 album Space Revolver and imho it’s a awesome album

Anyone else like this album.

I can't find the Transatlantic Appreciation thread so I'm gonna post here. Basically, I preordered The Absolute Universe a few weeks ago at recordstore.uk and many people already had it shipped but my copy hasn't arrived yet. And what I really hate about all this krap is that I didn't even get any emails from the store, no phone calls. Nothing. All I know is that the delivery is pending. What does that mean? Did they send this out yet? I mean, that 's the thing with international shipping. Not only do you pay extra cash for your item to be shipped from a faraway land but also you have to wait effin eons. Damn it!

Space Revolver is mostly pretty solid throughout. THere's a few drop offs but still very solid. The Rainmaker has longer "drop offs" later on in the album but the first five songs or so and last song are all still pretty good. Over all, Space revolver beats it but TRM is still better than some of the albums after it(such as Adam and Eve).
