The trees that books built

[j4]

You want to sell your old books. You probably want to buy more books too. You want to make MONEY. And you want to help the environment, natch (or at least you'll say so if it helps you pull that cute hippy chick with the blue hair).

And, being a 21st Century Schizoid Geek, you want to do all this online, NOW.

Fortunately, Green Metropolis already exists, so we don't have to invent it.

Hm. Well, obviously In The Court Of The Crimson King, and given that you might have bought the paired albums, I'll hazard a guess at Larks' Tongues in Aspic.

All the KC albums you really need:

1) In The Court Of The Crimson King
2) USA

No. You also need "Starless and Bible Black", "Red", and "Larks' Tongues In Aspic" in that order. Then the Adrian Belew/Tony Levin ones. Don't bother with "In The Wake of Poseidon" or "Lizard" because in the case of the first, it features Gordon Haskell, and in the case of the second, it blows chunks.

Well, maybe SaBB, but ItCotCK and USA are, to me, the two "must haves", the rest fall into the "essential" category.

Er, yes, I do have problems with buying far too CDs and LPs; can you tell?

I nearly wrote "ItCotCK", but it looked too much like it had COCK in it.

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

I suppose it does have COCK in it, bearing in mind what kind of music Greg Lake went on to produce during the latter days of Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Where's my dictionary...

I think you missed a point, somewhere back there...

Oh yes, "Starless and Bible Black" is cool. Not so fussed about the Belew solo stuff, but fortunately sion_a owns every sneeze the chap ever recorded AFAICT, so if I'm ever seized with the urge to listen to it I know where it is.

Oh, wait, I do have another of their albums - 3 of a Perfect Pair. But only because it was 50p in a charity shop. :)

Which one has Shake Your Booty on it?

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

In a very real sense, they all do.

Got it in one! (Well, in two-in-one. Precisely.)
