... - when your machines seem to be playing a lot faster and then you realize that your reflexes are not as quick as they once were.
Quoted from electricsquirrel:See....
If you collected albums, you'd know!
So, what is it?
Quoted from electricsquirrel:album cover...
You said "album cover", not inside!
I don't have the album. Just took an educated guess.

Quoted from electricsquirrel:Come on, JR.....
Inside, outside.....it's still an album cover!

JR makes a point. What you refer to is a "sleeve."
Quoted from electricsquirrel:no.
The album cover opens up. the picture is on the inside.
The actual vinyl disc goes in the sleeve.
Now I'm getting hungry looking at that picture.

But you have to give me credit for guessing the band, and I've never even seen the inside of that album before!

Hey! Look at that-green vinyl.
Reminds me of the red vinyl J Geils band "Bloodshot" album!
It was a good call!
Now go fix that turntable, buy a copy of Tres Hombres and make another plate of tacos.
Enjoy!!!

The original was the London label. Later was Warner Bros. The green vinyl was a later re-issue.
They did open up, but I think some of the later re-issues did not.
Quoted from jrpinball:But you have to give me credit for guessing the band, and I've never even seen the inside of that album before!
I used to have that album. I do not recall it being an open up style. For sure, I did not have a green record.
You know you're old when your ZZ Top Tres Hombres record is black... and the sleeve has the patina of the Declaration of Independence!
When you dream of the humber river in the early 70s and how i could swim in my mother's arms and laugh. Now the water is filled with shopping carts and no more crayfish ,salamanders or frogs. The natural barometer of the water systems. What a shame.
When you've been getting Mr Pinball new classified ads emails every day for the last 20 years. And you still read them.

One of the only emails I enjoy...
When you begin rationalizing that walking the stairs at work is probably good enough exercise for the day.
(It’s run day. It’s cold outside. And I’ve been down stairs three times today already).

Same I refuse to use the elevator at work.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Same I refuse to use the elevator at work.
Back in the early 1980's I was on a tour of the Masonic home in Minnesota. All the brothers used the stairs to go up one flight. I used the elevator.
Later some of them were giving me crap. It's good exercise. Don't you want to live longer ? I said yes I do want to live longer. And I want my knees to last too.
Some of them already had knee and hip work. Changed their tune.
LTG : )
Quoted from poppapin:I see seeds!!
Did somebody say The Seeds? "Includes the hit single ' Pushin' Too Hard ' ". Unfortunately, this was the only song on the album worth listening to.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:[quoted image]
Looks like it was quite a violent struggle cutting that thing in half! What is it?
Quoted from jrpinball:But you have to give me credit for guessing the band, and I've never even seen the inside of that album before!
The original pic kind of has the filename displayed which makes it pretty obvious!
Quoted from rollitover:J Geils band
Was one of the few bands I got to see in the 60s. I remember the harp player was called Magic Dick. I recall having a good time so they must have put on a decent show.
and Love Stinks.
A little over 41 years ago, this song was getting lots of airplay.
It is as good today as it was then.
Quoted from StoneyCreek:The original pic kind of has the filename displayed which makes it pretty obvious!
I've been after him to dig his old albums out.

They're behind all the boxes of Christmas stuff. I told mama that we're going to rearrange and organize that stuff so that I can get to my records.

I didn't see anything that would give me a clue. Just an educated guess based on the type of spread. Like Tex-Mex.
Quoted from hwyhed:U decide to fire up n play the old cocktail n play this classic from 40+ years ago..
My girlfriend loves Frogger on the cocktail here. I prefer Juno First and New Rally X on it.
I haven’t played this much at all lately. Realized that I have to clean some buttons from probably drink spillage over time. I started w donkey kong, then frogger. Qix is a fave of mine..kinda wish it had asteroid’s..but a 60-1 is good for me
Quoted from hwyhed:kinda wish it had asteroid’s..but a 60-1 is good for me
My cocktail is also 60-1, with no asteroids.
I have a 12k game standup, and I usually always play some asteroids on it, along with tempest and pole position 2, but my favorite is River Patrol.
If you have ever owned a boat, or even driven a boat, River Patrol feels pretty real.

Sidney Poitier, actor, dies at 94
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/07/entertainment/sidney-poitier-death/index.html
These two are not front page news anymore, but in their day , they were huge.
Quoted from rollitover:Sidney Poitier in "To Sir, with Love" was magnificent.
And it taught me the power of one.
No doubt those Nuns have him building a church somewhere!
Quoted from electricsquirrel:This was my go-to album for uh...….seeds.[quoted image]
Woo hoo! My stepbrother wanted to borrow my bike one day, and traded me BTO Not Fragile to use it!
I remember the cover was pressed, and you could feel the ridges of the gears.
The song "Not Fragile" is HEAVY. I cue that one up in the car on occasion.

When I was in junior high, both J Geils and Bob Seger would sell out Cobo Hall for 6 days straight.
Quoted from pinzrfun:and Bob Seger would sell out Cobo Hall for 6 days straight
Yes. Ramblin' Gamblin' man with that cool drum sound. Was Glen Frey singing with him at the time?

Good choice.
I always liked "In The Heat of the Night".
