Of the 25 he picked out from his collection of 2500 vinyl albums, I am surprised I only have and know one of them.

Three for me (Velvets, Madcap Laughs and Music for 18 Musicians). Edit: Make that four. I also have the Stravinsky.
 
Really ? ... did you mean that you only know one of them ?
Afraid so. I know about half the artists but have only owned and heard the VU one. I know the song Shipbuilding too but not the album, if it exists
 
Tell me about the Glen Branca one. It reminds me of metal machine music by Lou Reed. Noise but no tune.
It worked for me (back then) during a period of...err...pounds, shillings and pence usage, Rich.
A guitar orchestra making a big but not unpleasurable noise...:)
