I keep meaning to keep up the STP Purple MOV version.  I heard the regular version is total crap.  MOV always does a great job. 

I have an original purple coloured vinyl that sounds great!

The original pressing was colored?

Yes,  one of them.  Fairly rare and not cheap.

Wow, the MOV release is expensive too.

The purple one is,  but the black one is not.

It doesn't seem like anyone has a MOV purple copy?

I don't  understand. Discogs has six for sale.  Expensive. 

Mistake..

Yes purple translucent vinyl flimsy but full of sound!

Already had a copy of Jenny Lewis’ On The Line, but won a copy of the indie exclusive/limited blue vinyl. And you can’t go wrong with George, Zep, and the Boss

That Led Zep III looks great- and wheel cover!  A fine early pressing or reissue with wheel?

Reissue with the wheel. It truly is some fantastic artwork.

I picked up the Sesame Road on whatever RSD it came out, a Black Friday one, I think...  I got the Oscar green of the four colors.  The RSD page said something along the lines of "green was 'hardest' to find".  Ever since, I've never been able to find out anything more about how many might've been blue, or red, or yellow, or green.  I seem to recall 2000 total copies pressed for that BF day.  Do you know anything about the break downs of the colors?  Just curious...  Thanks!

Yeah, I have no idea. All the info I can find is the same you have (which is just the same info on the RSD site). I would generally think they would've pressed 500 of each color, but may have had an issue with the green and then filled the gap with another color(s). I ended up with the Elmo red, which I have to think is probably one of the more readily available colors. Still fun to have on vinyl regardless.

Totally fun!  I have toddlers... Its nice when toddlers and (toddler) records collide.  Its not so nice when toddlers and "this might be rare" collide...   My guess is 600 R, Y, B, 200 G.  But I have no idea... obviously.  Thanks again!

Haven't seen that Crenshaw in some time.  Nice pick!

Been searching for a decent copy for a bit. Found it for $5 and after giving it a nice, deep clean it plays like a charm. A nice bonus is that whomever owned it before me had stuck a newspaper clipping from the 5/9/82 Chicago Tribune in the sleeve, an article/interview with Marshall Crenshaw. A cool little piece of history.

Have to admit I did not know anything about Marshall Crenshaw, was a total blind spot for me.  After seeing this post, I happened to see his debut album at my local record store for $5 as well.  I’m enjoying it, nice 80’s power pop with almost a 50’s rock feel or something.
Would you recommend more of his later albums too?  Wondering if later ones were as good as the debut.

To be honest, I'm only familiar with the first one too, haha. Definitely going to be checking out more of his stuff though. I have a buddy that's a bit older than me that says his first three albums are all great. So I'm going to keep going in his discography chronologically as I can.
