I bought this record at the Thrift Store the other day for .49 cents. Couldn't resist the cover and the title. I wonder what other kinds of "fun" is in store "for the family" on this album.

David Rose And His Orchestra - Play "The Stripper And Other Fun Songs For the Family" 1962 MGM Records Mono LP

By the way... despite all of those fun family activities, this old record is still in Near Mint condition, both the vinyl & the sleeve.

My family wasn't nearly that much fun!
No wonder I had to stir up some much mischief.

A pox on thee, Colonel Sanders and your accursed secret recipe!
It must be a combination of arsenic, salt, belladonna and Crisco.

Well played west coast session. Precise, but a little unimaginative to these east coast ears.
Still a nice record especially if you like big band type playing in a small band context.
1981 PAJ (Palo Alto Jazz)

Tower Of Power "Bump City" 1972 Warner Bros. LP, 180g Reissue

Minty Columbia 2-Eye pressing. This album was my first exposure to Chopin many years ago and it left a lasting impression on me. The performance of Ballade No. 1 in G Minor on this LP, to this day has not been bettered IMO. While I think overall that Rubinstein was a better interpreter of Chopin than Horowitz, there were a number of mazurkas, polonaises, and ballades that Horowitz brought to life like no other pianist.

Ray Bryant
Sam Jones
Grady Tate
1978 Pablo Records

Excellent record. These three consummate musicians were severely underappreciated. Tunes range from bop standards to "Please Send Me Someone to Love", all played with inventiveness and reharmonization which give a fresh feel. Sam Jones was one of the all time great bassists and Grady Tate, perhaps more well known, play with Bryant as if they were an established unit playing together for years. 5 stars

The classical postings have been inspiring me...

Moussorgsky / Sir Malcolm Sargent Conducting The London Symphony Orchestra, "Pictures At An Exhibition / A Night On Bald Mountain"
2006 Everest Records Reissue LP, 200g

Originally released in 1960, this special reissue LP was cut directly from the 35mm magnetic film using a vintage Westrex 1551 tape machine, with specially built playback electronics that are vastly superior to any others used on these machines to playback the original 35mm tapes.
