yeah, I'd given up on finding a nice copy "in the wild" , but then 1 turned up
on my son's selling list -->> http://www.discogs.com/buy/Vinyl/Ten...281?ev=bp_titl and we are always doing some trading, so I will have a vinyl copy too.
Sometimes it seems like groups put max effort/talent into their debut offerings and then it's a slow decline from there :confused:
I agree--unfortunately that happens with a lot of bands. They have years before they're in the spotlight to write, arrange, and record their first album and then are either pressured (by their record label, manager, etc.) or feel the need to crank out subsequent albums at a relatively quick pace.....

for many years, one of the faves that always gets loaded to the POD is
The Temptations "Papa was a rolling stone" ... they made lots of hits but
I considered it their best. Every time I grab one of their albums (GH, Masterpiece , etc.) it's never on there.
reviews:

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/li...stone-20110526
It's #169 on Rolling Stone mags 500 all time greatest.
Today I ran across a GORDY labeled Temps "One Direction" and I'll be darned it was there, all 12m05s* of it. To my consternation , it had set in a wet basement somewhere and the jacket was waterlogged/moldy. The vinyl looked OK under the powdered mold.
Gave it a try ... then cleaned off at home and it plays perfectly :applaud: . I of course have a digi version, but the vinyl lets me hear things that I can't on my MP3 copies.
I tossed the jacket and will find another to hold it. Sometimes a gamble pays off.
*label says 11m45s , but I timed it in at 12:05
colors were hard to photo, but here's a poor one.
EXTRA BITS: The song was parodied by comedian Bob Rivers in 1994 on Twisted Tunes: 1994 The Year in Review as "Grandpa Loved the Rolling Stones".
The song, the anchor of the 1972 Temptations album All Directions, won three 1973 Grammys:
"Possibly the greatest Temptations record of all time, "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" combined so many musical elements so well that it could be described as the group's own "Good Vibrations." A brilliant, dark bass and drum pattern sets the menacing tone to the rhythm, and is spiced elegantly by a jazzy trumpet, giving the song a slightly free-form air. On top of this, some steely orchestration adds yet another layer of darkness, making this one of the "blackest" Top Ten records of its time." (Allmusic link)
A John Parrish & P. J. Harvey two-fer. Dance Hall At Louse Point and A Woman A Man Walked By. Harvey is at her bleeding edge of popular music when she works with her old band mate. I can rarely stop after just one of these CDs.
Sam Rivers, Purple Violets. One of the later dates from his long, illustrious career. He composed very well and played first class tenor and soprano sax, flute, piano and other instruments as well. Here, saxes in a quartet with vibes, bass and traps. Like Coltrane he was most accomplished ultimately with free jazz, but could play anything. Certainly one of the most accomplished musicians in the modern era.
This CD contains nine of the thirty-one million sides Rhapsody now offers unlimited, commercial-free access to. I wish I could live a few hundred years to have time to listen to all the music I am finding there that interests me.
Radiohead, In Rainbows. I really like some of this band's work. A fan of Cowboy Junkies recommended them to me last year as another outfit that has been together for as long and keeps getting better. As a soon to be sixty-seven year old music lover I highly encourage my fellow babyboomers to check out more music of the last twenty years. There is a lot to love and for me the best of it buries most classic rock six feet under. Your mileage may vary, I seem to have a mind more open than most. I am transported by almost every genre from free jazz to English Electric Folk to electropop to Gaelic, as long as the perpetrators are talented.
Perhaps the way I differ from most music fans of my generation is searching for music I like while ingnoring what I don't end up enjoying. (I notice that a lot of Boomers have the reputation as a group of bitching about culture. I call it the "You kids get off my lawn" syndrom. Are we turning into our parents, or what? ;) ) I refuse to paint a genre with a broad brush as I explore it. If I find an electropop artist from Scandanavia that I consider a waste of my time, I look for others who do it better instead of branding the entire community as something that holds no interest for me. That would be like giving up on headphones because I heard Beats. Talent trumps prejudiced opinion, given the chance.
Helen Watson, doffing. Female singer, mostly acoustic music, probably undercategorized as folk. Richard Thompson is often considered folk. These categories are way too limited and compartmentalized!
Mary Lou Williams, Nite Life. Vintage jazz piano, definitely not strictly a men's club. Unlike a lot of the more challenging/fringe stuff I like, I think most of you would enjoy this two CD set. Solo piano, no vocals. She was a brilliant, evocative player, and this collection is relaxed in pace and flow.
I'm sure that 192 AAC will give better detail than mp3 , yes , but I'm hearing backing/undertones from the vinyl that I didn't know were in the cut on MP3. And weirdly
(I'm going to start another thread on this..) it improved even more when dubbed to MD. :confused:

He was one of the true blues/rock guitar greats--I saw him live back in the 90's and he was phenomenal. Soulful playing and lightening fast chops. I own most of his early albums and have always loved his music. RIP Johnny--you will be missed!

In this month's poll, many agree this decade has the worst music in the 45 years since Woodstock
Nearly half of the Americans that we asked still listen to music the old fashioned way, they listen to the radio. Seventeen percent have opened Pandora's Box and use a digital music service most of the time, 15 percent are usually "plugged in" to one of their personal electronic devices, nine percent still spin CD Players, six percent use their computers and one percent are really old school, they still spin vinyl. As you might imagine, the devices that people use are often related directly to the age of the user. Only 24 percent of those under the age of 35 are still "radio heads" while almost two out of three of them use personal devices or digital services. Now that's music to the ears of the people who run those industries.

don't want to start a new thread, so dropping Richard Nixon here :eek:
Nixon was quite musical, and played five instruments: piano, saxophone, clarinet, accordion and violin. After leaving the White House, he also gave some thought to rap music. On an audio tape at the Nixon Library, the former president can be heard saying, ”I have often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.”
It wasn’t just instruments Nixon surrounded himself with; he kept company with some famous faces of the music industry as well: On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to the White House after writing a letter promising to help Nixon fight hippies and communists, and during the meeting he also promised to fight the Beatles.

Picked up a nice vinyl copy not long ago. Neil plays acoustic on 1 side, where the other is electric with Crazy Horse.
I preferred the acoustic, but both sides contain "Hey,Hey, My,My" , the standout of the album.
"Marlon Brando , Pocahontas & Me" is memorable too.

Rust Never Sleeps was voted the second best album of 1979 in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll.[13] Christgau, the poll's creator, ranked it second on his own list for the poll, as did fellow critic Greil Marcus.[14] The album also won Rolling Stone's 1979 critics poll for Album of the Year.[15] In a decade-end list for The Village Voice, Christgau named it the ninth best album of the 1970s.[16] In 2003, Rust Never Sleeps was ranked number 350 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time

Beautiful packaging and terrific sound quality. Listening with the mode switch set to Mono on the MC 2205 amp. I stopped by a local haunt this afternoon on the way home, they have the individual Beatles Mono LPs on sale. I had my sights on Sgt. Pepper, $17.99 sale price + $3 off coupon. And they threw in a free T-shirt. Silver Platters, Bellevue.

grabbed 12 in fine shape yesterday ...will check out these today.
Mae sings ..Day Tripper, You turn me on, Shakin' All Over
(wonder if it's as good as LedZepp & Guess Who's versions ?)
had to get "The Eggplant the ate Chicago" for my son who lives there ..;)
Lenny Breau, Cabin Fever. Rhapsody download. As solo as it gets. Alone in the room with the tape running, from the sound of it. Seems improvised as well.
Suicide, Half Alive. After Velvet Underground, the most seminal, influential group in Rock. I saw them once back in the day on TV and the impression has never left me. Every once in a while I listen to "Frankie Teardrop" to keep it real. Unless you are very grounded I would not recommend it.
Veedon Fleece is my favorite Van. His only Irish release to date, I think.
