One of the first bands I saw when I moved to San Francisco in 1973 was Montrose opening a show at Winterland; I had never heard of them, and they totally blew me away - I couldn't believe how awesome that original Montrose band was. If not for ego issues between Ronnie and Sammy, they could have gone on to be one of the world's biggest bands. I took these at a gig at Winterland in early 1974....

Nice shots. What were you using? Just curios as I'm also a photographer. I got into in it 1979. Still shooting today.

I'm not much of a Beatles fan, only have their "1" CD which features their number one hits, but I do recognize a good boxset. And yeah, sounds like you got an excellent deal.

BTW, it looks like you got the stereo edition as there's also a mono edition but that comes in a white box and says mono.

Yea. As far as I can tell, it’s the stereo release from 2009

Discogs has them listed for $90-100 and up. With the last one being sold for $235 on October 4, 2023.

Edit: Revolver is beat up and well listened to. But even with some scratches, it played without skips.

My three favourite Sabbath albums, timeless classics.

They really are the best.

Thank you, Sygnus! I'm glad you enjoy those. I started shooting concert photos in 1969 and continued with it until the early 80's, when venues and bands started cracking down on bringing camera gear into shows; nobody cared in the 1970's. For all my concert photos, I used my trusty old 100% manual Nikon F, and most were taken using my 200mm f4 Nikkor, though sometimes I got really near the front and switched to normal or even wide lenses. I shot about 95% black and white and 5% color slides.

Ah, the old days of film. When I got into photography, I was shooting a Canon AE-1, and then a Canon F1. I then sold my gear in 1989. When I re-entered the market in 2000, I went Nikon and bought an F100 (baby F5) and later the F5. I still have them...

though I no longer use them. This was taken in 2018, though I stopped using those bodies (and film) in 2012, when I got my first digital camera - Nikon D800E

Today, I still shoot with that and a Nikon D850. My go to setup... Nikon D850 with my Nikon 70-200 F2.8E lens. Have other numerous Nikon prime and zoom lenses.

Anyway, nice talking to a fellow photographer.

Peace

Listening to John Fahey while taking care of some new stuff. I just love old Nonesuch covers!

Wow, was that someone shipping you, their collection?

Even though I no longer play my vinyl and my turntable is packed away (for now), I still have a small collection (900 compared to 2800 CDs). Some of my audiophile LPs...

I have the CD edition of most of my vinyl collection, though not everything made it to CD. And even though I have CD editions, some won't replace the vinyl editions

Did some shopping on Discogs. Pro tip: never buy more than 99 records at once.

My wife: Did you buy 100 more records?
Me: Nope!

This is an excellent album which was panned by the [so called] critics. I learned a long time ago not to rely on critics with Paul & Linda McCartney’s RAM album which was also panned by them.
