Well, over here they are pretty expensive now - my sons use an old turntable passed down from their grandfather.  We did the wise thing (not) and got rid of ours when we converted to CDs.

Very popular among hipsters, selling quite well lately so with a bit of patience you should be able to find one at a decent price.

I don't really want a record player. I am happy to just listen to the album digitally. But I like the band a lot so wanted to support them.
I am thinking some kind of wall mount but for that I need a free wall, which I don't have currently.

Indian band Bloodywood have released a third song with video from their debut album. Previous songs were Gaddaar (about corrupt politicians stoking divisions and hate to win elections and enrich themselves), Aaj (about not giving up in the face of adversity), and now another awesome song (this time against rape):

Koko Taylor - Koko Taylor (1969)

Produced (and mostly written) by Willie Dixon; so I thought this was a passing of the torch album, but I see Dixon is only about 13 years older than Taylor.  In any event this is a great album; Koko belts out the Chicago style blues like only she could.  Her duet with Willie Dixon, Insane Asylum, (though it does sound suspiciously like an electric St. James Infirmary Blues) is on fire.  Some of the songs have rock influence; I thought that was kind of funny like Dixon had stolen from the people who had stolen from him.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed (1969)

Continues on in the same style as Beggar's Banquet; with maybe a slightly heavier sound.  There's a couple misses on it; most notably the re-working of "Honky-Tonk Woman" into "Country Honk," but the hits are great.  "Gimme Shelter" seems to foresee their participation at the Altamont Free Concert (about a week after the album was released); and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" will forever be quoted by pop-psychologists.  The two roots tracks "You Got the Silver" and their version of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain" are both extraordinary; I think that's the best remake of a Robert Johnson song.

John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band - Live Peace in Toronto 1969

John slapped his band together practically the morning they were set to fly out.  (He had never drummer Alan White before; so white thought one of his friends was prank calling him pretending to be John Lennon.)  The results, on side one, are surprisingly good - something of a garage band take on rock standards (Blue Suede Shoes, Money and Dizzy Miss Lizzy) and Lennon/Beatles tracks (Yer Blues, Cold Turkey and Give Peace a Chance) if your garage band had John Lennon and Eric Clapton in it.  Side 2, where Yoko Ono... er... vocalizes is... uhm... a unique experience.  I can only assume that this album didn't survive into the 22nd Century; because Star Fleet could have totally used Yoko's vocals as a convincing substitute for the songs of humpback whales.

After my Ukraine trip in 2019 I started listening to some Ukrainian music. This remains one of my favorite songs:

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Fairport Convention - Liege and Lief (1969)

While they had a traditional English folk song on "Unhalfbricking" ("A Sailor's Life") and clearly showed some influence from English ballads on "Who Knows Where the Time Goes;" in this one they go all in.  All but two songs are arrangements of traditional English folk songs.  It does give the album something of a Renaissance Festival (HUZZAH!) vibe, (in fact in the bonus tracks there's a version of "Sir Patrick Spens,") but it is well done.

Apparently the Bundeswehr's Kommando Cyber- und Informationsraum (Cyber and Information Domain Service):



has its own march. The Cyber March. Doesn't sound any like the Hell March from Red Alert, but rather reminds me of lighthearted 60/70s war movies. :hmm:
