Phil was not one to mince words.I have Phil Ochs vinyl-s that I'm spinning. What a distinct and creative voice he had....and a troubled soul.

That would look really cool on my Rega Planar 2 with it's glass platter (although it would probably need a mat to avoid slippage).
My favorite tune on that album was always "4 Sticks".Released last week, 52 years ago.
I just got my copy of the Atlantic Records 75th anniversary series on crystal clear vinyl. (Made in Germany.) (I think this makes my 9th version of this album between all the analog and digital sources, both import/domestic first and latter pressings.)
Coincidentally, this story connected to the album cover art has been all over the news this week.

Folk-rock is a popular genre in French Canada. Before we moved to a condo and sold our vinyl, I had LPs by several Franco-folk/rock groups: Harmonium, CANO, 1755, Beau Dommage and most recently Les Cowboys Fringants, who lost their frontman to cancer last week.The last vinyl thing on a turntable was a record by Cano, a Francophone group from northern Ontario. It was from my wife's side of the collection, a favourite from Uni days. She asked me to dig it out. It did not live up to her memories of it. Killer electric violin player, good female singer, and so so, so so for the rest. My son packed it off to listen to. He will probably sell it.
So cool! I used to have a marbled vinyl Spanish reissue of Zep IV. Unfortunately, I sold it off in a giant purge years ago with the majority of my classic rock. I know, I was an idiot. My full Pink Floyd collection went as well.Released last week, 52 years ago.

Yups. That's why I sold it. I knew it would eventually be worth some cash, but I didn't really care about that. Admittedly, I did keep a lot of classic rock, but I do still regret selling a lot of it off. Still have some Zep, Beatles, Stones, and the like. :C)Yeah, I’ve seen that one before. It was an early pirated copy and not anything that was ever licensed by Atlantic/Warner. Until this 75th anniversary clear vinyl version, the only colored vinyl ever officially released by Zep was an 1978 UK pressing of the 4th album…in light purple/lilac, and a semi recent single of a Sunset Sound Studios mix of Rock And Roll/Friends on a yellow 45 for Record Store Day. The original lilac one fetches over $500 a copy!!
You can find just about every Zep album online in multiple colors, but none of them are authentic Atlantic releases. They are all Eastern European pirate copies claiming to be Spanish/Italian/Portuguese “collector editions”.
