it is my pleasure. use the frame for for anything you want. remember to remove the protective plastic from each side of the plexiglass. After seeing the white sleeves and the label on the vinyl I can tell you that album was pressed between 1970 and 1980 approximately.
@@SightAfterDark I searched the history of Columbia Records record labels. I'm curious of many things. Next I'll be having you photograph the etchings in the vinyl runout and all 4 labels on the Disc. More info in that data. 😐...........🤣
Take a look at the runout groove under good light. Usually there is something either stamped or hand engraved hiding there. Sometimes it's a pressing date, other times it's just a pressing plant name (e.g. Kendun) or even a "secret message" (e.g. "beauty take us" engraved on some pressings of Heart - Dreamboat Annie).
This IS SO AWESOME Guys! Through Chicago, and later, the crusaders (Joe Sample) I branched out of simple folksy songs and the beginning of mostly guitar to my love of jazz! Blood Sweat and Tears right up there with Chicago! You are both so beautiful and alive when you do these! A great treat for someone much older!
That was one incredible album back in the day , they never equaled that album again . Wait till you hear poem 58 you’ll understand why Jimmy Hendrix thought the guitar player was better than him .
@@SightAfterDark oh !glad to hear it . I played that record a million times back in the day and I saw Chicago live on their first concert in New York at the Fillmore east . It was they’re first New York City appearance . It was 1969 . Also on the show was a band called Blodwyn Pig , they were great too and Johnny Winter was the headliner .
The album doesn't actually open back to front, the big logo is the back cover, and the tiny little logo is the front cover...(which at least makes more sense of the band referring to it as 'the black album' over the years). Understandably the small logo has mostly been relegated to obscurity in the age of thumbnail pics, but was it ever a good idea? (I'm gonna go with Nah!). And that one pesky member who deigned to be born in New York, rather than the windy city itself, was Mr Robert Lamm.
@@SightAfterDark Hey guys, first of all THANX for showing so much love for CHICAGO - - Yeah, for decades (and decades) us fans knew that Robert Lamm was born in New York, then moved to Chicago as a teen, but the truth came out much later that Trombonist James Pankow was actually born in St. Louis (he's one of a dozen kids, no lie) and raised in Chicago since childhood.... For the sake of "the cool factor" the phrase "where all but one was born" simply plays better in the liner notes ~ Peace & Love 😎
I miss buying and opening an album. I used to open them by sliding my fingernail along the album opening side, preserving the clear wrap. That doesn't work for a double album, of course.
I noticed an empty space in the background, next to your computer screen. If you heat up the vinyl, you could mould a nice fruit bowl. Wouldn't that look nice! Seriously, a nice and generous gift.
You guys should definitely get the new CCR release of the only live concert they ever did in the U.K. 🇬🇧 at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970, especially since I was there! At the time they were just about the most popular band in the world, selling more albums and singles than the Beatles! I bought and still have the original of CTA, great album 💿 in 1969! This got played in a lot of bars and clubs and I loved to danced to some of the tracks, especially Poem 58 and I’am A Man! My daughter has one of those record players and the quality of the sound is terrible!

My brother had this album and I only played the whole album about 500 times !one of the best album ever!
Nice
Robert Lamm was born in Brooklyn he and his Mother moved to Chicago when she remarried and the rest is History.
Robert Lamm.
@@illebdt8 oops 😬 damn spell 😆.
Shout out to Robert!
@@SightAfterDark I think Jimmy was born in Missouri, not sure why though they JWG said all but 1 were born in Chicago. Guess it just sounds better :)

We reacted to the whole album on our Patreon. It was great!

Nice, I just got an original "2 eye" 1969 Columbia pressing.
That was cool!! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks for watching!
I remember when I got my CTA album 50 years ago!

Thanks for the info Joseph!
