Not too long ago, I dug some Herb Alpert LPs out of my dad's storage shed. I knew he had some, I remembered them from when I was a kid (Zenith console). Whipped Cream and Greatest Hits were the two I found right off, there might be others.Originally Posted by LRBacon
I give them both a spin now and then, those heavy old vinyl records sound pretty dang good.
found the LP that I've been looking for a long time ..Steve Millers "Sailor" and the condition was not good enough to buy it ...
but did get these 3 ...Heart is a PacNW group and this is a double LP , ...CSNY has lots of hits on it too...I've never owned any Peter Gabrial, but I looked at the track listing ...and its like GH too ..."Dont give up" is like the ultimate song of hope...my son should like it too (to go with his new "hope" tat.)
the trax
1. Red Rain 2. Sledgehammer 3. Don't Give Up 4. That Voice Again 5. Mercy Street 6. Big Time 7. We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37) 8. This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds) 9. In Your Eyes

Heart's a great band - one of my all time favorites.
In Your Eyes on the Peter Gabriel LP is a classic - it's just a shame it was lined up as the last track on the album (cursed inner groove distortion!) I have the album, and while some of his cuts tend to be a bit esoteric, others are quite marvelous.
Nice finds! / Mike

Relivin' the '80's tonight.
Stop Making Sense.......a great movie too!
Right now Bill Evans Trio "Waltz for Debbie" (Analogue Prod. 180g) is on the turntable. I'm playing it with a borrowed Dynaco ST-70 and L-100s.
I'm basically in awe while I type this but sad too because I have to give the amp and speakers back this weekend.
Beach Boys....Greatest Car Songs.... Little Deuce Coupe and Others!
Since the Richmond Highland games last Fall, I got on a kick for Alt-Scottish bands with Pipers ...
One of the featured bands was Seven Nations, they are very good, but after I went through their back catalog I found I liked an earlier version of the band when Neal Anderson was the piper ...that guy was astonishing on pipes ...! (his nickname is "the antipyper"!)
Anyway, I was in my Alt-Cletic playlist on iTunes last week and ordered 2 more CDs from bands i'd heard of ...
the 2 CDs came from from Amazon yesterday ...
one is Bad Haggis - Trip ...
they're an amazing band I first heard about from an MP3 at a live local event I missed - notable because they were doing a live version of "Little Wing" with pipes - I can't find that track online right now ...
anyway, quite a versatile band~!
The other CD is Shooglenifty - The Arm's Dealer's Daughter - its not as nice as their earlier albums "Solar Sheers" or "Venus In Tweeds" - but good stuff nonetheless. They're kind of a Techno/tripHop band with pipes, but thats a disservice - they are much broader than that, with huge list of influences ... and can do traditional quite well when they want!

Paul & Gabor still shrinkwraped ...Szabo is the writer of "Gypsy Queen" ..the 3rd part and ending of the Santana trilogy commonly called "Black Magic Woman" long ver. ...did good for under $3.

Had that LP along with their first one Children Of The Future. I've always liked Song for Our Ancestors on Sailor.
Ol' Steve's got us beat by a few years, Tom. He'll be 66 this year.
Larry-
I've got "CotF" , but dont play it much, but "Sailor" (and its got nothing to do with being an ex-sailor) get multiple replays...agree on SfoA , and "Living in the USA & QS Girl" are always fun. Have started to appreciate Steve more this last year,,,some of the lesser know SMB tunes are a real grab bag,,,some jewels, some turds...Havnt put on todays vinyl find yet. XM sometimes has SMB live playing "Key to the Highway" that is really exceptional, I'll have to leave the MD powered up and grab it off the air on one of its plays.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
Tom, I enjoy those SMB tunes, too.
Slapped in the CD changer yesterday, The Doors Strange Days, The Carpenters Horizon, The Beatles White Album and The Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn.
SS is my favorite Moody Blues album. The WA, I listen to the first 5 on what was the first side of the first LP and all of the second side of the second LP sans the two Revolutions. SD favorite Doors' album, I really enjoy Moonlight Drive.
Electric Ladyland
On my third copy...the first two I stole....wore em' out! ..found it at Music direct.
I'm just kinda mad about all the digi scapola and all the Rave reviews....! Remember where it all starts...a stupid $10 guitar cord or $20 mike cable....where's your 1000,000,000,00000000.10000000% pure copper interconnect now?
Vinyl & speaker safari today..
On forum recommendation, will try "The Firebird" (always liked Pontiacs anyway

C'mon, Wolfie - everyone knows the classic recording of Georgy Girl was by The Association ... but I guess you can pull skeet with that Seekers album.Vinyl & speaker safari today..

I saw the Association live once back when I was in college, in the '60's. Their harmonies were amazing--they were just as good live as on record. Last year, I got a cd compilation of all the Assciation's recordings from some Dutch outfit through Collector's Choice. That's what I was listening to on my way to work this morning. Now, all you specialists in musical trivia out there--does anyone know what any of the members of this vocal group did later? (This isn't a trick question--I don't know).
