How do you get the pictures of the album covers posted on ?

Do a Google image search on the desired album. Right click and save the image location. Click on insert image icon (second from left on the row just above the emoticons) and paste the image location. If the album art can't be located, then you have to take a picture of your cover and upload it into your gallery here or elsewhere. Then do the same to embed it in your post.

Detailed instructions are also listed as a sticky in the Town Square. Papajin's post is top notch

Wow, that's exotic, Buddy. She's certainly before my time. Did a little Googling. Indeed, it seems her recordings fall into the period of early 1900s. I saw a Victrola 64845, and then a 64799, pointing to the period around or before 1920. She's listed as living from 1892 - 1935. Anyone who could sing at the Met has got to be good, esp. in those days when opera was supposed to be a high-browed art form.

Chris Spheeris, "Essentials".

Especially Track 2 - Psyche. Superb track to test system - lots of percussion and instruments.

Some of these tunes are quite good, a few are "hohum"...opera singer turned actress turned pop singer...and she's only just 20years old.

Rex - C

not as in T. Rex but simply Rex. The song C from the album C is one of those perfect songs. Not sure how to describe their style. His voice is a little bit like J Mascis but easier to swallow. The vocals are sung a bit quiet and the layers of the music is more the focus. The guitar playing is quite good but unique (two guitarists I think, some tracks one acoustic, one electric, others two electric). The drummer is very good IMO. And then you get layers of other instrumentation.

Recorded live in the Netherlands, an excellent summation of their hits...very well recorded, I hear no hint of compression...superior to the Emmy Rossum album I listened to before. The applause is way too real (and loud). The voices lull you into another world, and the audience shocks you back to reality.

5stars....but I might be biased since I own all their albums. aa
