Gaucho- Steely Dan. A Japanese pressing I purchased from a friend, and it's dang GOOD, who got out of vinyl altogether for hi-rez. Huge mistake to me. I mean what are these guys listening for in a recording? I was too shocked to ask.

Lover Man- Carmen McRae sings Billie Holiday (Columbia).

North/South- The Jimmy Johnson Band (Delmark).

The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds"

Okay, I know all the hype behind this LP. I never thought it was that good. I bought a new copy and decided to give it another try. Well, I still don't get all the hype!!!! I mean, it's a good record but I just don't get all the "critical acclaim" raves. I have to say though, it's the only Beach Boys LP that I can listen to !!!! And yes, I was around and listening to music when it was released so it's not a generational thing.

I ~~here~~ hear you Decal, I never got it either and still don't. I'm just not a big Beach Boys fan.

That's what I get for replying at 3am

I was one of those blown away by Pet Sounds (confession--I have always loved the Beach Boys, especially the harmonies). In the early 60's the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, the Ventures, Astronauts, Association, Four Seasons, and all the girl groups were what I listened to until the Fab Four arrived and the ensuing British Invasion dominated the airwaves. And then came Pet Sounds which I thought leveled the playing field again. I thought it was brilliant -- the new sounds, the harmonies, the musical presentation.

Maybe it's a girl thing

Beach Boys are overrated. There, I said it.
