Happy New Year Craig! I loved your shopping instructions for your mom. “I just said go here, click on this, buy me this” 😂…some mellow listening with Testament! Death Leprosy is one of the coolest band names I’ve ever heard. I remember you picked up that Evan Johns LP! Very cool! Thanks man.

I have a CD compilation of Patty Smith stuff. The return of Steve! Great start to 2025! ✌️

Nice! Death is local for us. My old metal band played with them a few times in 87/88 at the Sunset Club in Tampa. In fact our bass player Scott did some overdubs on Human and toured the album in 1991. Chuck was nothing like you'd think based on his singing voice, total mellow, laid-back guy, spoke like a surfer dude. Such a sad thing when he passed.

That's really cool, I have heard that Chuck was the nicest, down to earth guy there was

Happy New Year, Craig! Sounds like you had a nice holiday. Always enjoy your channel, and looking forward to what you bring to the table in 2025. Some solid blind buys there. 😎🎶 Steve's back!

[@TheSpiritofVinyl]

Hope you had a great holiday also. I think were all happy Steve is back

Happy New Year Craig! Holidays are a crazy time...usually (and hopefully) in a good festive way. Great blind buys. We seem to share a very similar philosophy on blind buys. I usually don't buy (especially on vinyl due to cost) but rather I stream if curious of a band or artist. Usually because someone in the vc has shown it. Back in the day though, I think it was more likely...but even with that, I can only think of a couple off the top. Good stuff man. Cheers bud! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘

I find even if I'm picking something I don't know, let's say based on cover art or something I will at least google them first.
