Not to brag but...

 I just bought Angelica's first album ( the on with Rob Rock on vocals) for $9. Aren't you happy for me?

I actually am really happy for you. Nice score! Can't beat that price!

Now get the second album for $1 like I did.

Nice find, though.

I think I gave about that much for the split disc that had that and "Rock, Stock, & Barrel" on it.

When you say "album" I assume you mean an actual album/record and that you are not just using album as a generic term? 

'Cause the cd is available for like $6 on Amazon.

No I mean the cd. The one that's $6 on amazon is an authorized cdr. Mines an original.

Wow..didn't know it had become such an expensive item.  I got one of the originals last year for only 11 or 12. Of course, I originally had one when it first came out and foolishly got rid of it years ago...along with the resat of my collection

YEah, the original is about $20 on Amazon.

I got this when it first came out in the 80s

I got some European reissue version several years back that is also OOP. The album is great, but the production/mastering left a little to be desired.

Cheese,
I probably would have except the year it came out I was 8 years old and not really listening to metal yet...

Slacker!

Cliffy the remastering genius posted it over at CMR one time after he worked on it.

Geez now I feel old!

I know... I was more into Lego's and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... Metal just didn't appeal to me yet.

You're not old- I'm just young!

Thankfully he did, I have it among more than a few other Cliffy remasters.

What did he do to it? The original has it's issues but it's nothing like, oh... Messiah Prophet's Rock the Flock or that Bloodgood album with no bass.

I sold my original a couple of years ago for $20-25.... never listened to it.... love rob rock but the tunes werent that memorable imo other than the opening tune.... Walking in Faith however is a totally different story.....

Never really compared it....
Just snagged it from him while I could

Just scored Atomic Opera's Gospel Cola for free! Amazon had one left at $5.45 with free shipping for Prime members, and I was able to use cash back rewards from my Discover card for the purchase.

Nice.

So I shouldn't have pseudo-bragged about my Angelica CD. I don't really care for it. I'm going to give it a week or so but honestly I may trade it off.

I know folks love Rob Rock but the only stuff he's done I care for is his solo work.

Personally I've never thought Angelica was "uber awesome," but I don't think they were so bad. That CD was their first if I'm not mistaken, and while it's not Rob's best vocal work it was early in his career. And the Ken Tamplin song on that CD is pretty good.

IMO, don't trade it off. I've lost count of how many times I've gotten rid of a CD only to regret it later. Sometimes I look at my collection now and think, "Is there anything I don't listen to that I'm willing to part with?" and the answer is always, "nope!" However, if you have your mind made up I am sure someone here or over at CMR will trade or pay for it.

As for Rob's solo work being his best, I agree concerning the song writing. However, as good as his solo work goes I think over all his work with Impelletteri is better; I don't think he has ever been able to find a guitar player to match Chris.

I'll pay you, and maybe trade you (if you want anything in particular) for that first CD…
