Every week I watch fellow Bloggin Pal Kevin who is a Youtube sensation talking about vinyl with a few other fellows. It’s cool stuff as all genres are covered. You can find the fella that runs the show, Bill at ‘Start To Continue’ on
Vinyl Collection Live Chat – Lookin Though the Record Shelves with BILL/BANDY/MARS/JAKE POLYKILL
Last night Kev was showing his cool looking AC/DC collection and here’s photographic evidence posted below of the one and only Mr. Mars.
When Kev was parading his AC/DC collection I immediately thought of my Highway To Hell album that I purchased a year or so ago. At the time I was on the hunt for AC/DC records and Highway To Hell became available at the place where I used to pick up my records.
I remember talking to the owner of the shop and she told me she had Highway To Hell for sale and could hold it for me but the only thing was it was taped up. I said no big deal really. She said “well it’s duct tape!” lol
She said even though the album looks hilarious with all four corners taped the record was in decent shape. I said put it aside as it was worth the $8 bucks especially with the cover taped up like that!
The front cover you can’t see the Duct Tape much …
The back cover though tells a whole other story!
Love it!
I recently acquired a second copy of Highway To Hell and sorry to report that no tape of any type is holding the Highway To Hell cover together.
I figured this AC/DUCT TAPE record needs a loving home and what better place than Tbone’s Mancave!
Thanks, Kev for the inspiration!

Ha. Duct Tape Blues!
Kev and the 3 other dudes seem like cool guys. They love vinyl and they play these records which is cool. I even learned some stuff as how to properly clean records etc.
Great stuff.

I used that clear vinyl adhesive to fix up some Raghu album covers. You know the one was used to cover the school books.

The Duct tape just adds that much more rock to the album!
And as long as the record plays, it just makes for a great story, as it did here (love the title too, Deke)!

Send that to my place and I’ll really duct tape it for you. I’ll put a whole roll on that baby. I just ducted my glasses on one lens and they look great but I cant see shit.
Would you have bought it if the actual vinyl was taped together? I’m thinking yes.
