Topic: Another "Think It Over" Question

So here it is: A CD I have been looking for, forever. When I was a DJ on my my college radio station, we pretty much set our own format after 8 pm.

I came across it on EBay and ordered it right away and it arrived today, and yep it had that special "cut" on it right away and right away I slipped it into the tray and played it.

Back in the 70's, I remember being crazy over every song on the LP, but today everything except that one cut did nothing for me. The style was "hard rock" (it was too early for "heavy metal" just then), and by today's standards, this is a well-written and well-produced album. The band and voices were"tight", the lyrics were thought provoking and the liner notes let one know right from the  beginning that this was a satirical-theatrical production.

In other words, not a thing wrong with it back then, but now, just "ho-hum".

The name of the group is called "Wilderness Road" and the album is "Sold For Prevention of Disease Only"

Has this happened to you at all?

Thanks

Bill

Re: Another "Think It Over" Question

Some music had a "freshness" to it when we first listened, but a lot of it does indeed lose its appeal with time.

I recall listening to Steppenwolf's "Monster" album in high school, and thinking it was pretty good. Last time I listened to it, it just seemed like a bunch of poorly written protest songs about the Vietnam War, and I haven't listened to it since.

Re: Another "Think It Over" Question

I had Carol Kings Tapestry on vinyl. I left it with my ex so 10 years on I bought it on cassette....what a let down! I still love all the tracks, but it was missing something. I watched her last year in Hyde park, Tapestry live, loved it, loved it, loved it! Maybe I'll get it on CD?

Never disappointed with Beatles....

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
