I, for one, do not have that album.
I've got a few obscure ones, most of which I can't recall here at my desk.
Here's one that has a song almost anybody in our generation has heard, but prolly nobody has the album (it's on a soundtrack):
The drummer plays with Chicago now, I think.

Since we're going obscure here, how about this one?

It was. It was like a soundtrack for a non-existent movie, all synthy and symphonic, theatrical vocals, etc. The only thing I remember about it specifically, was a one minute earthquake rumble that faded the album in, and the quality was so rich that if you had decent speakers cranked up, the room shook.
Cool moment, meh album.

Can't believe I actually found this on Amazon
This guy performed on campus when I was in college. Solo performance, he played a whole bunch of home-made instruments. Sort of early new-age.
I was sort of impressed at the time so I sprung a couple of bucks for his album. Haven't listened to it in at least 35 years - I may have to break it out one of these days.

Been out of the LP business since I joined the Navy in 1980. Don't even have a turntable. Tape deck finally shit the bed too. Pretty much just a CD and MP3 guy now. CDs at home and MP3s on my phone which has a 65GB memory chip added. Mostly for listening in the cube at the office and every now & then on a plane.

I took good care of most of mine and still play 'em once in a while. I still like looking at the album covers while I listen to the music. Yeah I'm an old fart. So what? Also, the record sleeves with ads for dozens of other albums current at the time are hilarious sometimes.
I bought a USB turntable about 10 years ago with the idea of digitizing all of my records. Two problems -
1. The hisses and pops come through.
2. It's not like copying a digital file.
You have to start the record, turn on the recording, play it through and then stop the recording. After trying one or two songs I gave up and never considered it again.
