Decisions, decisions...

It's the worst thing about having any sizable collection of music..."What do I want to listen to next?"
It's easy to spend 10-15 minutes (or more) just flipping through and debating if that one is what you are really in the mood for, or maybe that one...
I finally settled on Eagles and their 'On The Border' release.
I spent a 3-4 years looking for a used copy of this, and kept getting disappointed. I thought I finally found it once in a group on facebook, but that turned into a two-week ordeal where I finally filed a claim with PayPal to get refunded the money, since the 'seller' refused any communication.
After another year or so of looking, I finally decided to give up and bought a brand-new reissue of it.
Costs a bit more that way, but it was the only one I was lacking of their earlier material.
I've had this about a year now, I think this is my third time playing it.

That's funny that you mentioned music by the Eagles.
I love the Detroit rock that we tune in to in our area, but we won't be enjoying that after we move.
I asked my husband if he could burn me a CD of the Eagles music but time is running out and he won't have any time until after the move now.

@JolietJake You mean melting albums don't you, I don't think that they'd burn.

Yes, it does. I wish my grandson would listen to more of it. I have CDs of my favorite bands greatest hits. I don't collect them now days. I wore out all my originals.

I gave away most of my CD's that I have on vinyl to a friend, I can always burn the album to disc

Does it still have "he who hesitates is lunch" carved in the close-out grooves? Bill Szymczyk was legendary for doing that on all the albums he produced.

I think the producer didn't do those, the person mastering the album did...this is not an original so it doesn't have it, but I know my 'Long Run' has something written on it, as do several other albums I have.

I used to spend 30 minutes trying to decide what to play before I got frustrated and just grabbed something. I feel your pain. But it's a good pain, knowing that you own all that great music!

It's hard for me to choose a favorite, their sound got a bit 'harder' when they added Joe Walsh to the band, but I like all of it

Oh what a lovely album you got JJ.
I just love that one.
Happy to know you got a brand new re issue even though it cost a bit more. Well worth it for sure.

These days my music collection is mostly digital. I sold my vinyl to a collector years ago. One of the advantages of digital is you can pick a genre or a station that plays music similar to a certain artist you like and just let it play. Not always as satisfying as the old vinyl cuts, but convenient.
