America's 1971 debut LP, people still love it, unabashedly.
So, I’m constantly looking over the shoulders of my beloved helpers at Riverwalk Records, my vintage vinyl record shop that doubles as my home base in the sleepy little hamlet of Monpelier, VT.
Issue being, the fellas have a habit of dissing the hits of the seventies, throwing most of them into the $1.00 bin. Thing is, America sells….you know, “Horse with No Name”, “Sister Golden Hair”. Every year after the holidaze, I’m a bit shocked to to see we have no Kansas, Styx, or America LP’s left in the bins. Yet the rare Woody Guthrie on Folkways, pristine Trout Mask Replica, and original mono version of The Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonley Heart Club Band have survived the onslaught.
Sure enough lady walks in yesterday, “Do you have any records by America?” Sure do, $78.37 later, she walks out with a thick stack, the complete discography and a few album frames….God bless America!
