The Plural of Vinyl Podcast Tower Records and Virgin Megastore, both in San Francisco. Missing the city and those classic stores. And in the 70s in Miami...Magic Minstrel, Happy Note, and Spec's. All gone. The internet would be groovy if it hadn't taken down the treasured ritual of hunting for new music.

Peter Banks, formerly of YES before being replacded by Steve Howe, released this solo album in 1973. It was a tasty prog entry and one that got a lot of mileage on my turntable. #PeterBanks #Yes youtu.be/fciZ0rog7Os?si…

The second best track on Rush's MOVING PICTURES ... #Rush youtu.be/ftVTWDrtrlc?si…

One of the best album covers ever. Not prog, but definitely classic.

This alternate take of (Used to be a) Cha-cha by Jaco Pastorius is just as good, if not better than, the version on the 1976 LP. Just so stunningly great. #JacoPastorius #HerbieHancock #HubertLaws #LennyWhite #DonAlias youtu.be/r6wZtW4Mbz0?si…
