Back in the heyday of REO, Gary Richrath was famous for collecting vintage LP's and one night at a rehearsal in a hanger near van Nuys airport, he told me he had aorund 50 of them stashed away that he planned on selling one by one when he retired to live on. Back then they were alot more affordable than now and he sure spent alot on them. But that was 40 years ago. Now with Joe B doing the collecting, I wonder what ever became of the Richrath collection?

Gary must have had a crystal ball to know that, nearly 40 years ago, Bursts would be worth enough to sell and retire on. :hmm

One of his Bursts got sold to a Japanese collector, the other is in a music store in Germany I believe, and one is also in a music store in London.

Maybe Kevin Cronin has one.
