Just holding an album in your hands, looking at it, was an absorbing experience.
I was a tad too young to get toasted in them days, by the time I was, Disco had taken over and people changed overnight like some space invaders body takeover sci fi flick, and that was that, superficiality was in, waxing philosophic about words and harmonics and arpeggios was out. I just got more into Punk and New Wave, which translated into pretty much solo, especially when it was just Hard Core for me from 82...
Good times.
Oh, I gotta find that meme where I posted that ELP graffitti in the park stadium,, I still owe you a reply...
