Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

The Rolling Stones in 1967
Younger readers of this blog may not know what an LP is. It is a Long Playing Record (vinyl) that existed many years before tapes, CDs, and MP3 files. Anyway, on the way home from work today I was reading Goldmine Magazine (http://www.goldminemag.com) which is for collectors of popular music. In 2007 there were several articles commemorating the summer of love in 1967 including Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band. In this week's issue there was an article about the 3 LPs that the Rolling Stones issued in that year: Aftermath, Their Satanic Majesty's Request, and Flowers. I still have the first two two in vinyl but bought Flowers on a 8 Track Tape. Many years ago I discarded the 8 tracks I did own since I no longer had a player for them. Tonight instead of listening to an internet radio station, I decided to listen to Aftermath. My vinyl copy is still in pretty good condition and I still have a turntable.
Harry Harrison speaking on Saturday Night Oldies said of his days at WABC, "I had a great deal of Satisfaction."
ReplyDeleteAftermath is one of those "cut" albums that separate Stones posers from the true rockers. I Am Waiting is their most hauntingly beautiful song.
