The guy didn't have it but said he could get it for me so I asked how much? He pulled it up on Amazon.com gave me a price more than what was on the computer screen and said it'd be about a 4 day wait. I declined, went to Best Buy and got it cheaper there. I love the art on the CD jacket. Reminds me of Joni's abstract, but they use stronger primary colors. I like the cardboard- type jacket better than plastic. Feels like a little LP. Now if they had a side A and a side B, I could memorize the track order easier. Here is the Cage the Elephant song "Lotus." High energy. See if you like it. It is off their first album, which I like better than their second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SMsnsOU0as&feature=youtube_gdata_player With jam, Laura On Mar 10, 2012, at 11:32 AM, Happy The Man wrote: > Local records shops are still out there we are blessed in Austin to have > Waterloo, Cheapo and up in Round Rock, Piranha.

Of course, if you weren't into him during the early days, I can imagine you're younger than I and looking (and listening) from a different perspective. And I won't say I loved all his early stuff, as opposed to my feelings for Joni's work, because his first couple albums are quite uneven. And, while 1972's "Blinded By The Light" may seem a little bubble-gum poppy to new listeners, "Growin' Up," "For You," and "Spirit In The Night" are all more thoughtful compositions. And I can't listen to 1973's "Rosalita" without turning up the volume and wanting to sing along. I have always regarded 1975's Born To Run as one of my favorite albums and feel "Jungleland," in particular, is way under-appreciated; I think it would make a great music video or the basic plot for a movie... listen to the lyrics sometime while it's playing. Ironic that my son doesn't care for the early Bruce that I like but loves middle-carreer albums like Nebraska, Darkness On The Edge Of Town, and Born On The Fourth Of July. I also like some of Bruce's mid-to-late releases; it's just that I connect more with the early stuff. Obviously, you can't compare Joni and Bruce. They come from such different backgrounds (and such different sets of circumstance, Coyote) and their music is nearly polar opposite from each other. And, while I don't expect anyone to change their mind if they don't care for Springsteen's music, I would encourage those who never got into it to check it out; it's so easy to do these days with things like YouTube and the i-tunes store.

If I lived in the USA, I would probably use it more: http://www.cduniverse.com I've always had a positive experience with ordering from them.
