Send lawyers, guns and money....Great album, too bad he's gone

I've read a biography or autobiography on Warren Zevon.  He was actually a real asshole and miserable most of his life.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead by his ex-wife Crystal I'm guessing.   I did some sound work for the estate and she and I are Facebook friends.

Not the biggest Zappa guy, but this is a good listen (probably because it is largely instrumental).

Great album... one of the first 10 (or so ) CDs I bought back in the day, and my first replacement of one format for another.

I saw Warren play solo acoustic at Graffiti way back and saw him at Rosebud probably solo but maybe with a sideman there.  Big fan from way back. Read the book by his ex wife.  Good insight into his life which apparently included some OCD that involved buying lots of black t-shirts when he'd go shopping while on tour.

I actually hear only a slight difference between it and my "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" Harvest.   That's why I didn't mind letting it go.   Some may say that my system isn't resolving enough to properly highlight the differences, but I suspect at this point it's my ears that aren't resolving enough.   Either way, I suppose it makes it easier to enjoy what I have.

I feel compelled to mention for those reading along that the Monk you got from me is NOT an OJC reissue like the picture but rather an original Riverside first pressing.   That is an heirloom piece.

The vinyl collection neophyte in me is on display.

Picked up a European version with the banned cover at Saturday's Record Convention. great good recording and I love music with a groove! Funkadelic  The Electric Spanking of War Babies.
a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...
