I'm not listening to it now, but here is a six-disc boxed set of Haydn's Das Klavierwerk, Vol.2, consisting of some of the composer's most difficult to get to, unrecorded and unplayed pieces. As you can see by the cut on the top left of the cover, this flawless Telefunken recording was remaindered and I bought it new for peanuts. I suspect Telefunken did not sell a lot of these and, if this is an example of pressings they released, it's no wonder they abandoned the recording field for something they knew best -- microphone manufacturing.

I asked him to confirm on a seperate forum, but I believe it's 'Ma ~ Rare Earth', I had it on cassette many years ago.

As long as we indulge ourselves in this show and tell orgy, how about some Dr. Demento? I have a couple LP's he compiled of works by famous, not-so-famous and completely unknown artists. I can't remember where, or why, I bought them. I probably was drunk at the time. The album pictured below, "Demento's Mementos", was released in 1982 by Eccentric Records and is now out of print. One of the songs on this LP is "My Wife Left Town With A Banana" by Carlos Borzenie Sr. That must have captured my interest, most likely. I'm also attaching a picture of the good doctor himself. He is still alive and kicking, and for a price will show up at your event and play some records or something.

I had this on The TT just a short time ago

It's good one Bill. Kingston Trio meets Fleetwood Mac. You can hear the Lindsey Buckingham influence and Stevie's voice is a good compliment to John's.

Up now on the TT

Fairytales- Radka Toneff and Steve Dobrogosz (ODIN). A Scandanavian label and recording and that is usually saying something. No exception here.

This is a recording that can overload a small room such as mine (no compression on her voice) so I listen at a modest level. That can happen even with room treatment. Well, I don't use a lot so maybe I'm just speaking for myself. While I'm at it, this is one I think digital would miss what's wonderful about it. It just shouts vibration into a continuum in a way bits might less so. Not a place for Andy Warhol.

Today is Marvin Gaye's birthday. Had it not been for poor parenting, he would have been 74 on this date.

Roscoe, tell me more. I have never heard of either band.

Thanks

Laura -

Shoegaze not a group but a sub-genre of music type.

From the Wiki entry;

"Shoegazing (also known as shoegaze) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged from the United Kingdom in the late 1980s by bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride. It lasted there until the mid-1990s, with a critical pinnacle reached from 1990-1991 and a new zenith achieved again from resurgence in the early 2010s."

Thanks Gene,

all of this subgenre stuff is way too weird for me. Life was simpler when all you had to know was rock, psychedelic, blues, pop, country, folk, metal, punk, jazz and classical. If someone said a band was country-rock, you had a pretty good idea of the sound. A lot of these so called new genres or sub-genres would be best described by Billy Joel, "It's Still Rock n Roll to Me."

Best,

Laura
