Big Sounds of the Drags

Found this this weekend. Anybody have this or others?

 

I have one thats just called Bakersfield '63 at the top of the cover, and at the bottom says 5th Annual United States Fuel & Gas Championships,
Bakersfield, California.

I've got what must be volume 1--it just says "Big Sounds of the Drags" on it.

 

I put a 125 album collection in the cl***ifieds.
it includes Big sounds of the drags and BSOTD vol.2
and 1963 winternationals

 

My dad had "BIG Sounds of the Sports Cars"...looked just like that, except with sports car pics and such. Same basic layout and graphic style.

I used to listen to it while I played with my old AFX slot car track!

 

Yep, I got volume 1 and Hot Rods & Dragsters in stereo dated 1959,and yes I bought it new. Wow! just seems like yesterday.

 

I have volume 1. Back when I was in high school in Tulsa (early 70s), I bought a drag race album at the Target on Yale, and it was different, recorded at some pretty high and low frequencies (at least according to the notes on the cover). My buddy had a really serious stereo, and when we would put it on his turntable and crank it up, it sounded like we were there. The windows in his house would rattle. I don't remember the name of the album, but it was recorded in the 70s.

 

i have a few different big sounds of,,,,drag,racin boats,,,a few others,,,if you do a search,,there is a guy in CA,, that has them converted to modern cd for sale,,,im getting a few my self,,,

 

My uncle has one that has a Triumph winding up at Bonneville.
I need to get my hands on that.

 

ive got one, i think its the bakersfeild one. has the freight train and other on it have to dig it out havent listened to it in years!

 

Got Vol. 1.
It has a photo of the ill fated "Black Beauty" on the cover along with the "Freight Train". I throw away my copy that I had as a kid in the late 60's, but found a copy about 5 years ago, still in the shrink wrap for........$5.

 

I think a friend of mine had that vol. 2! And he lived in Tulsa. I wonder if his dad still has it.

i have the same one.
anyone out there want to buy it.

 

Got these two awhile back. Bought a new needle for the record player too and the old sounds are fascinating. You can hear the track announcers, the fire-ups, and the sound of those FEDs spinning the slicks for most of the 1320. A little needle noise thrown in for old time's sake.

 

WOOHOO!!! mine showed up in the mail today, in really good condition....found on evilbay

 

I have the same one, when I was a little kid in the 70's my dad would play it to get me to go to sleep.
