Went to college at SUNY at Syracuse, drove a beat up van I bought for $400 round trip Boston ->Syracuse with a cassette of Blow by Blow on side 1 and Wired on side 2, just kept flipping it. Made the trip bearable, (you should see what a $400 van in "75 looked like, and sounded like, esp. the cracked exhaust header under engine compartment cover, next to my right thigh. Right ear measures markedly worse then left today).

Was it an old, beat up, used, Ford, Econoline Van that seats three across the front, middle seat on the hot motor cover, three on the tree, and dirty shag carpet in the back? If so... I think I know that vehicle!

Close brother, close. Ford Falcon van, no seats in front so I dropped in 2 Mustang buckets to flank the engine, orange shag carpet in back, and my youngest brother made me matching goemetric curtains for his 'batchelor survival' course project. And 3 on the column is correct. It was wild to drive in upstate NY winter after a frat party.

The Eyes Of The Beacon Street Union (1968)

The Eyes of the Beacon Street Union is a highly experimental album released around the time of the Bosstown sound.
Much better than first albums from Eden's Children and Ultimate Spinach 7 stars from AllMusic Guide

I personally like the debut from Ultimate Spinach better. But who listens to me anyway

Beacon Street Union - The Clown Died in Marvin Gardens (1968) This was released 6 months after their debut (look up)

Well one more LP and off to the Enter the Sandman

Crack The Sky – Safety In Numbers

Go Crack! Not a bad record, Palumbo wrote most of the songs but had left. It's actually available with Palumbo singing lead on a redone version called Safety In Numbers Redux. Crackthesky dot com

Lighten Up McGraw is a concert have with a shootout between the two guitarists!

Good Morning Brothers & Sisters

Gil Scott-Heron – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

another find from my local vinyl shop

Gil Scott-Heron is a great find jlappy! Really glad to see you spinning him. Again, one of my favorites. Saw and met him in a small club in the early 80's. Brilliant lyricist, and always with soulful, jazzy and catchy musical presentations.

Here's another one:

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson "Bridges" 1977 Arista Records LP

I was amazed at how many of these albums I had on LP or CD. There was about 20 I didn't have at all.
Well I can't have them all or can I ??
