Not only are my tastes eclectic, sometimes I would buy or inherit a collection and never had time to cull. Some of these I have no explanation for why I acquired them and carted them around the country for 20 years.
Box One
Traffic- John Barleycorn Must Die
I was thrilled to find this. One of my all-tiem favorites. Unfortunately it has a bad scratch on side One. Rest of the record plays great, but I found one on Amazon and ordered a replacement. This was one of the first 20 albums I purchased and still one of my all-time favorites
Doobie Brothers - Toulouse Street
I recognize a lot of the songs and they were okay/pretty good. Need to give it a listen, but looks near mint.
Elton John Blue Moves
Probably Elton's worst album. Definitely his most soulless. ANyubody wanna trade? Its in good shape
Barbara Streisand - My Name is Barbara / Color Me Barbara / The Way We Were (Quadrophonic)
She was never my cup of tea. Can't say that I ever really gave her a chance. This one's like new, so I threw it on the turntable to see what old me thinks.Old me thinks young me was right. While the talent is indisputable, I freaking hate it. For trade
Mamas and the Papas - Farewell to the First Golden Era
Always a fan of these guys.
Linda Ronstadt Hasten - Down the Wind
Used to really like Linda, I imagine I still will
Nancy Wilson - Hollywood My Way
Don't remember ever listening to this. I like Nancy, but I'm not a fan of the 40s-50s standards included. The vinyl appears unplayed and the sound is superb. Her rendition of
The Days of Wine and Roses is superb. But some of the selections, like
My Shining Hour leave me flat. The studio band and production are flawless.
America - Greatest Hits
never really bought any of their albums, as everyone else did and played them incessantly. Good stuff, but unsure if its been long enough since hearing it to saturation.
Mason Williams Hand Made
Good folk type stuff. Admire more than enjoy
Asleep at the Wheel - Texas Gold
Excellent Texas Swing/Country, sometimes like satire, sometimes the real thing. Extremely talent group was peaking when I was in college and Progressive country was really progressive and a thing. Large ratio of drinking songs (Let Me Go Home Whiskey, Johnny Walker Read, Tonight the Bartender is on the Wrong Side of the bar
@Homer J Simpson ) Lots of good memories
Ray Charles / Harry Belafonte - The Greatest Ever
Interesting old Coronet realease sounds really good, right? Not really. Not at all. Some decent tunes, but may I never hear Belafonte sing Anabelle Lee again. Ugh
