Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 37 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Big Sale at Virgin Records
Today, I went to a professional meeting in the Union Square area of Manhattan. I could not resist the temptation to stop into the Virgin Music Store. There are so few music stores now :(. Anyway, they had many CDs on sale for $10. Many Beatles CDs as well as Simon and Garfunkel, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan. The problem was that I already had the songs on those CDs on vinyl. I never discarded any of the records that I collected over the years. Instead of paying for music that I alread own, I bought a 2 CD set of the Kinks for $10. I don't have any of their music in my collection in any format.
No Kinks?! You are in for a treat. I recommend these albums and in this order, stat:
ReplyDelete1) Give the People What they Want
2) Low Budget
3) Word of Mouth
The Kinks are a great band. Perhaps the most overlooked band . . . ever.
