Happy Mew Year MSB Stage-Pass CD Karma

[inspiredsports]

It's simply one of my favorite albums of all time, probably because Michael Stanley is a hometown favorite, played softball with my buddies, and I was cutting class to be in the Agora Ballroom crowd on the first (October 22, 1976) of 3 days of recording this masterpiece.

MSB was huge in Northeast Ohio, popular in areas of the East and West Coasts and just a few points in-between, but never quite gained full traction. Michael is a talented, consummate showman, and perhaps only the 3rd or 4th-most talented member of the band, but this CD puts forth their very best efforts.

I wish I could Karma the LP version as the sound quality is better than this CD version (still good, though), but I only have one closely guarded vinyl LP set in pristine condition.

This CD is still shrink-wrapped

THE RULES:
-- Member for more than 365 days.
-- Not on my extremely short ignore list
-- Let me know you are In
-- Tell me if you would rather be the Stage-Pass or the Kitten in the image below, and WHY (let's get creative here, but within bounds)

-- I'll use a random number generator to pick the winning post number somewhere around the 15th of January with a "last call" post a day or 2 before.

Good luck and Happy Mew Year !! (Yeah, now you get the "typo")

P.S.: "So Close to Heaven" image credit goes to DK as I pirated it from one of his clean power threads.

IN! and if you'd move that damn cat...hmmm doesn't quite work..i'd really like to be the kitty. i'd provide purr-like vibes, too

[Pycroft]

I'm in, and I'd rather be the stage pass. At least I can pretend that's my wife, because my wife would NEVER have a kitty where that kitty is...she's allergic :)

Happy Mew Year!

Congrats BAF!

[Tour2ma]

Cool little karma...

Congrats, baf,
I suspect a new MSB fan will shortly be born...

I wish I could Karma the LP version as the sound quality is better than this CD version (still good, though), but I only have one closely guarded vinyl LP set in pristine condition.

Ditto... pretty fine recording for its day... even moreso given that's it's Live.

And how many RnR'ers go on to be mayors???

[bigaudiofanatic]

Sweet pm sent!!

[bigaudiofanatic]

Got it last night, came home let it rip while I was changing from work. Sat down for a listen. So far I enjoyed the first 3 songs. This could turn out to be a wonderful relationship with a new band. Thanks IS!!
