jff Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I would have slept with one cradled in my arms. That same guy told me that Albert Lee grabbed him by the throat* once when he popped into Ten Years After's dressing room uninvited to see if they needed any more snacks or beer, so maybe he learned to respect the boundaries between stage hand and rock star. *Bill Graham withheld their pay until Albert Lee apologized.

dondoboy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Jesus, that took me half the day, but I found it. It was The Buck Pets. 1993. The album was called "tothequick". I think the cover of "Bargain" was on the CD only. I used to have the cd, but that disappeared many, many moves ago. I remember that I liked it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 One thing I miss is Pete's blog. It was pretty cool to read, and at one point, be able to respond to what he had to say. He sometimes answered back. I have read that there is also another re-issue of The Who Sell Out coming out sometime this year. A link to a post about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I found a copy of it up on e-bay. Blue vinyl. "Bargain" is the b-side.The Buck-Pets cover of "Bargain" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The thing about The Who that I always found so appealing (besides the master songcraft) when I was a kid was their unshakable conviction in the power of Rock as a force for positive change and the ability to heal (especially emotional scars). When Jeff Bebe in Almost Famous says "Nobody can explain rock and roll, except maybe Pete Townshend" - I just nod and agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 The Who - Leeds University 14th February 1970 16mm footage Someone on Youtube was so kind to upload the complete remaining footage of Live at Leeds, which was only included on the Japanese edition of "Amazing Journey"... And for those who have never heard it: Dogs It's a weird song. I've always liked some of the music in the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Weird song - but the music is cool. I think that is right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Weird song - but the music is cool. I think that is right. You gotta love B-sides. I remember having the 45 of "squeeze box" and we ended up listening to the B side of that way more, unless my memory is faulty it was a strange song called "Success Story".

Time for me to pull that movie out again because I don't even remember it, but that song sure brings back memories and sounds as good as I remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dazzler Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I had a cold rainy drive in to work the other morning. I popped in the first disc of Quadrophenia. The Music backed by the grey skys, the rain, and the bleakness of Detroit created an almost perfect commute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 That is probably the Who album I play the most. I like the soundtrack to the movie also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 I saw that, didn't finish watching it though. Was it authentic? Live At Leeds Sleeve design by Graphreaks [it was designed to resemble a bootleg. A press release claimed that the emblem on the cover would be hand stamped by band members and others in the Track Records office. ALL original LP issues in the U.S. and U.K. came with a sheaf of photographs, facsimiles of documents from The Who's career to that point including their contract at Woodstock, and a reproduction of the poster used to promote The Who at their Marquee Club gigs in late 1964. So no, you didn't just find an old Who album in which somebody left all these original Who documents. And the "Live" in the title is pronounced with a long "i." The Who don't "live" at Leeds.] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Live At Leeds That's what I was thinking. I didn't see this episode of Pawn Stars, but when I saw the promo and it mentioned Woodstock contracts, I immediately assumed someone was going to bring them the Live at Leeds inserts.

calvino Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I didn't think it was since the guy said he found it an album jacket at yard sale. You would have thought the old guy would have known about the Leed's album. I sure it's a bit rare, but didn't they give the guy $200.00. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes - I think there were several hundred thousand of the inserts made (the first pressing of the the album). Plus, I think they were reprinted at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Are we talking about the original Live at Leeds with the inserts or something special?? There are lots of these around. I bought one for less than ten bucks at some point in the past. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought Live at Leeds with most of the inserts for $1 a few years ago. A copy of Live at Leeds with all original inserts, all in mint condition, is not even close to worth $200.
