This is a great record. I really enjoy it every time I spin it. Nice cohesive jamming. Out there. But still tight. Not too loose.
Living in a small Vermont town. Mostly here for Phish talk and vinyl record collecting. Spinning records from the never ending search. #vinylcommunity

On a beach in South Jersey, Bruce is playing from a beach speaker in the distance somewhere. And I am reading this. Pretty nice day.

Maybe Levon Helm at a Midnight Ramble at his house in 2007.

This is some very nerdy record shit. Definitely worth a read if you buy old records.

Ok Pam. The deep state is a guy in a pink shirt throwing a foot long turkey sub from Subway. Thank you for protecting us from this guy. Whats next? Is he going to throw a cookie at you?

My vacation in the Hebrides Islands last year was one of the best vacations of my life. I think about it often and this brought me right back there. Lone live the Highland Coos!

The Monkees- Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. 1967 1st press. This is a surprisingly good record. A really solid late 60’s psych/folk record. Check it out.

Pink Floyd-A Saucerful of Secrets 1968 Netherlands pressing with red Columbia label. I found this absolutely mint copy randomly on fb marketplace while traveling in upstate NY this week. Pretty rare pressing and it is in perfect condition. Lucky find. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

Dire Straits-1978 1st US. #nowspinning some recent finds this afternoon. Side 2 of this record is really an amazing album side. Found this on WhatNot for $5 in NM condition. If you are building a collection you can really find some great deals on there if you are careful. #vinylcommunity

I have always found it fascinating that Benson found pop success like this. An absolute virtuosic guitar player. Truly one the greatest to ever lay a hand on the instrument. Just mind blowing talent and technical chops.
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social)
A little Morning Miles. 1961 original mono press. A little marked up but these old Columbia 6-eyes really hold up. I found this on Whatnot. Anyone else have any luck buying on the Whatnot ap? #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

It really has gone from bad to worse over the last 3 years. Its kind of sketchy and depressing now. I feel bad even saying that. Feels disrespectful to the merchants that are fighting to hang on. But it’s the reality.

I’m really not sure what is going to happen to Church St. but it is definitely changing.

I am always late to everything but this Seven Fishes episode of The Bear is really quite an episode of TV.

First day of vacation. Stoned and taking a nap. So nice.

It is the only way. I think it’s safe to assume they already have a plan for that building and they wanted Nectar’s out.
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social) reply parent
I have a solid guess.

I am on the other side of the state but I can be in Rutland in 1.5 hrs. It is a great place to live. A unique experience.

Do it. We need people under the age 60 to move here.

SRC- Self Titled 1968. Found this in the wild over the weekend. 1st time I have seen it. Pretty cool psych album out of Detroit on Capitol. They made 3 albums and then disappeared. Really interesting stuff. The opening track Black Sheep is the star. Great cover art. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

What if the best tribute to Ozzy is NOT doing a lame and poorly rehearsed cover of one of his songs?
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social)
Long live The Prince of Darkness
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social)
My first car gps device had the ability to chose a custom voice option. One of them was Ozzy. For a couple years whenever I arrived at a destination my gps would mumble stutter in a British accent “You have reach you fffffucking destination”. I loved that.
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social)
RIP #Ozzy. Released when I was 14, it blew my mind. I was obsessed with it. It practically never left my Sony Walkman for a year. This promo copy with CBS press pack was a lucky find and one of my prized records in my collection. It is blasting out of my speakers today #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

Gram Parsons- Grievous Angel #nowspinning. Nice clean early repress. What great record featuring Emmylou, Linda Ronstadt, the great Bernie Leadon and Al Perkins on slide guitar. #vinylcommunity

Now that I seem to have gotten so many people’s attention I am definitely looking for mutual follows in the record collecting world. Keep digging everyone!
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks. Very lucky find. Lots and lots of sifting through piles of crappy records. For years. I certainly wasn’t going to pay the full market value for it so I just never gave up.

Gerry Mulligan Quartet 1952 10”. The first release by Pacific Jazz Records. Interesting stuff on here. A jazz quartet with no piano. Worth checking out for the young Chet Baker’s contribution. Can be found pretty cheap if you look. Sounds pretty good for 73yo record. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

#nowspinning Miles Davis Kind of Blue. This 1959 mono 1st pressing came from a crate dig at a small shop in NH. It is one of my most priced records. My advice is to look through every pile you come across because you just never know. #vinylcommunity
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social)
Another great and often forgotten SF psych band. This is their 3rd album and this one and their 1st are both worth having and can be found cheap. I really like this album. This copy is a 1A/1A 1st press but its a mess and I really need an upgrade. #vinylcommunity #nowspinning
Col. Forbin US Space Force (@colforbin.bsky.social)
This is pretty interesting album to come of the San Fran music scene in the late 60’s. He’s mostly forgotten these days. You can pick up the record pretty cheap and they are worth checking out. This is an early 70’s repress that I need to upgrade but it sounds Ok. #vinylcommunity #nowspinning

The number of people from Phish Twitter that left over time and came here really snuck up on me. Now that I am here it is so great to see all the familiar faces. I am so glad to be here with everyone. I missed everyone. I deleted that other ap and I am never going back.
