Joe Walsh: Barnstorm Vintage LP 1973 (late 70s re-issue) Mint, played once
I first bought this album in 1973.  This is a late-70s re-issue, because it's not a fold-out album cover.
I was privileged to see Joe Walsh's first tour with "The Smoker You Drink ..." and "Barnstorm" (also available in Beezar Audio's listings on Ebay).  At the time, he had a fascination with the tube-in-the-mouth Talk Box, especially with this "The Smoker You Drink" album, but it didn't obscure his obvious talents with the guitar strings. 
This album is great for any Joe Walsh fan and along with "Barnstorm," represents his first breakthrough into mainstream Rock status.
