The first classical music I was exposed to as a young child was Richard Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration." Thought I'd return to my childhood.

Great song. I bet 99 out of 100 people don't know that Hoyt Axton wrote that one along with "The Pusher"

And Hoyt Axton wrote 3 Dog Night "Joy to the World."

But you knew that...

This is a real treat for Mothers fans.
It seems to be mostly Playground Psychotics/Weasels Ripped My Flesh era live tracks.

On my to-do list for sure. How are the sonics?

Oh shite. This right here is about a 15 degree past way special recording. I haven't heard this in awhile. Best I can recall it wasn't my cup of tea. It's honky tonk music and it SOUNDS that way. The name of the album is simply San Francisco Ltd. and it's a 45rpm direct-to-disc from Crystal Clear Records, 1976. The sound is immediate, alive and full frequency clear as a bell. Damn, this one is being re-filed under "best of the bunch" in my collection. I mean I wouldn't know how to make it better it's so good. Hope ya'll can manage to hear it.

Hold the phone. I found some info on it: http://www.discogs.com/label/Crystal+Clear+Records. $6.00! Check our Charlie Byrd, too, but I like this one better. It's full of life. It shouts it.

Roscoiii,
The sonics range from so-so to spectacular, two 180 gm discs, dead quiet vinyl.
Be prepared for a surprise at the end of one of the sides.

I haven't read any of the liner notes or inserts but it sounds like this is all from right before Flo and Eddie joined the band.

Steely Dan ‎– Can't Buy A Thrill
Label: MCA Records ‎– MCA-37040
Format: Vinyl
Country: US
Released: 1980

The first album for rock I ever bought, loved the guitar work. Recently bought some reserve copies of the Dan catalog 'just in case' something happened to my originals. Put this on, was looking at cover, and see in bottom left of front cover the gold imprint PLATINUM PLUS in an arc, and under it MCA-37040. So it looks like an MCA reissue in '80, which is fine as the vinyl is clean. But I can't find any reference to the Plat+ inscription.

Gene,

Look for the Dan catalog on ABC Records. Those are the original pressings and generally sound better than the later MCA pressings
