Here is SEALED original copy of Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" on Asylum Records From 1977..Having acknowledged a certain creative desperation on The Pretender, Jackson Browne lowered his sights (and raised his commercial appeal) considerably with Running on Empty, which was more a concept album about the road than an actual live album, even though its songs were sometimes recorded on-stage (and sometimes on the bus or in the hotel). Unlike most live albums, though, it consisted of previously unrecorded songs. Browne had less creative participation on this album than on any he ever made, solely composing only two songs, co-writing four others, and covering another four. And he had less to say -- the title song and leadoff track neatly conjoined his artistic and escapist themes. Figuratively and creatively, he was out of gas, but like "the pretender," he still had to make a living. The songs covered all aspects of touring, from Danny O'Keefe's "The Road," which detailed romantic encounters, and "Rosie" (co-written by Browne and his manager Donald Miller), in which a soundman pays tribute to auto-eroticism, to, well, "Cocaine," to the travails of being a roadie ("The Load-Out"). Audience noises, humorous asides, loose playing -- they were all part of a rough-around-the-edges musical evocation of the rock & roll touring life. It was not what fans had come to expect from Browne, of course, but the disaffected were more than outnumbered by the newly converted. (It didn't hurt that "Running on Empty" and "The Load-Out"/"Stay" both became Top 40 hits.) As a result, Browne's least ambitious, but perhaps most accessible, album ironically became his biggest seller. But it is not characteristic of his other work: for many, it will be the only Browne album they will want to own, just as others always will regard it disdainfully as "Jackson Browne lite."

Larry Brill is a jazz aficionado and a madman collector who has researched and purchased thousands of vinyl discs over several decades. His love of jazz began at Far Rockaway High School, where he was influenced by his English teacher, Harry Colomby, who led a double life, molding teenage minds by day and managing the great Thelonious Monk by night. With Colomby as mentor, Brill frequented the legendary Five Spot, soaking up the sounds of Monk, Coltrane, Rollins, Griffin, Young, Kirk and Coleman. His own artwork graced the club's walls (Brill is now a successful graphic designer and president of his own design firm, B&W Creative Group.) Later. his jazz haunts included the Jazz Gallery, the Vanguard, and the Half Note, where he became acquainted with Tristano, Konitz and Marsh. Today Brill concentrates on his massive art collection, and is featured in a new book, "The Art of Collecting" by Diane McJanus Jensen, along with fellow collectors David Rockefeller and Alan Dershowitz. He is married to Paulette Weiss, and their combined collections total 25,000 discs. He parts with his vinyl with great reluctance, and hopes that all those jazz instrumentals, vocals, soundtracks, celebrity discs and rarities wind up with collectors who love them as he did.

Paulette Weiss was Popular Music Editor of Stereo Review magazine and a Certified Audio Consultant for over a decade. She is still in possession of the Dynaco receiver she built from a kit when she was just a pup. For many years, Weiss provided an annual analysis of the year's events in popular music and audio technology for the Encyclopedia Americana and was a contributing editor with Audio magazine. She survived the disco era by chronicling the club scene and its music for the New York Post. Weiss witnessed the birth of cassettes, MTV, video discs and the CD. Over two decades, thousands of vinyl LPs crossed her desk. Along with current albums for review came rare promotional discs and posters, picture discs, original master recordings and many recordings never made available to the general public. Genres include rock, pop, jazz, and spoken word. With her passionate love of the music and hoarder's nature, she collected thousands of these. Many are unplayed and still in their original shrink wrap, others gently spun and lovingly preserved. She is married to Larry Brill, and their combined collections total 25,000 discs.
