Wow, you guys are amazing. Seriously - I don't have any idea what the first
record I bought with own money was. I wish I did. I'd like to read my own
tea leaves. Damn. I do recall having a pretty impressive collection of John
Denver and Olivia Newton-John cassettes. Except my parents labelled
EVERYTHING. Must of have stock in the DYMO labeler company. To this day I
think of Olivia as ON-John as every damn tape was labelled 'O N John'
But here's the real question. This one has bugged me for years. If one of
you can help well it'll be scary, it'll feel like the circle of my life has
been completed. So beware if you know the answer to this one. When I was
really a young 'un I remember my parents buying me this album that was like
all these 'Science' songs that just reeked of the era - space technology, in
particular. A couple titles / lines "Seven Miles a Second" (referring to the
required velocity to escape earth's atmosphere). Another had the lines "the
world is just a great big grapefruit, 25,000 miles around; You could see
from here to China, if you could dig through the ground". Any bells ringing?
Scary I realize..but this is like the primordial ooze of my memories....and
I've wanted to find this record for years.
thanks,
n.p. Thomson - s/t (or AMG calls it "Nuclear Love") - wow..fans of Cosmic
Rough Riders, Velvet Crush, General Store, ante up..this one is wonderful!
