WHO AM I TO SPEAK OF SUCH NONSENSE?
Dedicated to Vinyl collecting since 1979
On Sept 21 1979, I was 12 years old. I had saved any money I could scrape up, (which was never much) I walked a mile to the Hamilton Havey Department store near my house. I strolled up to the sales counter with my precious purchase, the just released Cheap Trick Album, The Dream Police.
This was my first real record, not a Disney record from Christmas or a hand me down R&B album that nobody wanted. No sir! This was fresh wax man! This was Rock and Roll! I ran a mile back home and put this on my Sears Mono Phono player and I was hoooooooked like a junkie! I've never looked back. 40 years later, here I sit listening to that same album as I write this. Music has carried me through times, good and bad.

On this site, and with these posts, I hope to share some Tips and Tricks I have learned over the years, also check out my link to Discogs where you can see my entire Vinyl collection. Just for the record, I'm not ashamed of any of them not even ABBA or Adele!
WHO I AM
Going by the name Cobion on Discogs, is this guy below, on the other thing I started when I was 12, riding motorcycles. During the daytime at my regular jobs....I go by the name Richard Frick, Just a regular old guy, into music, my dogs and my special lady.
