One of my mom's favorite. I have a 2008 reissue, nothing special but still works :)

Very cool, I have the SACD but I hadn't heard of the pink vinyl release

Totally agree!

Stanley Turrentine - Comin' Your Way (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing blue. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Cover is black and white photo of stanley in profile, title and musicians in pink italic lettering Stanley Turrentine - Tenor Saxophone Tommy Turrentine - Trumpet (Stanley's brother) Horace Parlan - Piano George Tucker - Bass Al Harewood - Drums Not pictured: NAD M10v3 streaming integrated amplifier JBL Paragon wired with Anticables

Dad had some Turrentine on SACD but the vinyl collection was missing soul-jazz. Warm, bluesy tenor sax, incredible body and texture (you can hear the reed vibrate).

Gorgeous Tone Poet release. Thomasville is a standout track.

10 new vinyl LPs added to the collection, mostly jazz with 2 80s thrown in. Displayed in front of the JBL Paragon

The Vinyl Fairy has been busy this year! Playing Soon.

Mostly trying to add Blue Note depth to the Collection but couldn't *not* make room for some 80s dark wave. And that Joy Crookes disc is a banger!

Introduces Ethiopian scales & rhythms to familiar jazz, making it new, unique, and captivating. Incredible spatial depth here. Nice reissue

Perfect press by MFSL and RTI, the new centerpiece of my R&B section.

Todd Rundgren - Dust In The Wind (Lyrics Below) (HQ) YouTube video by Toddzilla

Middle Of The Road compilation from Warner/Reprise loss leader series. Cover is title rendered as a yellow road sign 77th Selection from Dad's Collection

Middle Of The Road compilation from Warner/Reprise loss leader series. Cover is title rendered as a yellow road sign, folding it out renewals the photo of the sign under a dark sky that fills the back cover. VPI Scoutmaster turntable, glowing white

Todd Rundgren from the inside sleeve SPECIALLY PRICED 2-RECORD SET Continuing the orgy of self-reflection is the most mispro-nounced, misspelled and mis-understood artist on the block, Bearsville Records' Todd Rund-gren. This song, besides being on Todd's double album, Something/Anything?, hails from "Baby Needs a Pair of Snakeskin Boots," a "pop operetta" which occupies Side 4. Whereas Herr Rundgren sings and plays all the parts on Sides 3, 2 and 1 (the latter of which contains his hit single "I Saw the Light"), Todd lets some of his friends come in and play with him on Side 4. "My original idea for this side," he says, "was a series of songs with sing-along choruses. All the songs were performed live and there were no over-dubs. The people that showed up were the people who sang and played, meaning that anyone who happened to be in the studio or in the neighborhood and didn't have anything better to do came in to play. Every-body, including me, learned the songs immediately prior to re-cording them, so most of it is spontaneous to a degree. Any-way, I decided it would scan better if I drafted it into a sort of operetta, that kind of thing being very popular nowadays." Musicians on "Dust" include Mark Klingman, organ; John Simon, drums; Randy Brecker, trumpet; Mike Brecker, tenor sax; Barry Rogers, trombone; Rick Derringer, guitar, and John Siegler, bass.

Mr Rundgren is #77. I know his production(see Skylarking) more than his songs, cool to hear his Dust In The Wind here.

Live, minimally practiced, no overdubs? Respect. I appreciate that rawness. This has been a fun series for me

Selection from Dad's Collection Schlagers! from the Warner Bros/Reprise 'Loss Leader' series Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing yellow. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Cover is SCHLAGERS! with the letters illustrated as a monolithic rocky cliff face (Peaking on the A) Dr. Demento (Barry Hansen) compiled the songs and wrote the liner notes

Album cover back, illustration of a ship steaming toward a rocky shore, all black on yellow. Artists names across the bottom Miriam Makeba✩ Rod McKuen✩ Joni Mitchell The Neon Philharmonic ✩ Randy Newman ✩ Peter, Paul & Mary The Mike Post Coalition The San Sebastian Strings ✩ Frank Sinatra The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band Mason Williams ✩ Glenn Yarbrough The Vogues

Text from inner sleeve, test bios written by Doctor Demento! "Vince Guaraldi is most familiar to you as the writer-performer of the now-jazz-standard "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," and has, at various stages in his career, played with Woody Herman, Cal Tjader, June Christy, and the Lighthouse All-Stars. At present living off the fat of the land in beautiful Mill Valley, California, Vince likes to build model cars and listen to records and collaborate on albums with jazz biggie Shorty Rogers."

VINCE! #76 comes from another wacky WB comp. Some good tracks on this. I can't imagine a time before Guaraldi was known for Peanuts, but here it is!

Great sound for a comp, recorded loud! (I can play this at min)

Coming into Los Angeles (Remastered) YouTube video by Arlo Guthrie - Topic

www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1yA...

Selection from Dad's Collection #76

Warner Reprise Loss Leader Series: The Big Ball (1970), cover is a photo of a big ball (red) Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing red. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge.

Irreverent text, typical of this series Coming in to Los Angeles (By Arlo Guthrie. Time 3:08) From Running Down the Road, Reprise album 6346, coproduced by Lenny Waronker and Van Dyke Parks Arlo Guthrie, celebrated star of stage, screen, radio, and the cover of Newsweek, noted tall-tale scenarist, and the young musician who proved for once and all that white men can indeed talk the blues, certainly needs no fluffy introduction, especially considering that you no doubt saw the film, bought the album, and watched him on Johnny Carson and all. Since the monumental Alice's Restaurant, there have been three Arlo albums: Arlo, Running Down the Road, and Washington County.

In 1970, WB was trying to appeal to the anti-establishment kids (what happened to them??)

Some crazy, trippy, tracks on here, a lot I've never heard of!

I'll pick Arlo's _Coming into Los Angeles_ for #76

Such a great album, this is one I only have on SACD

THE 1969 WARNER-REPRISE RECORD SHOW Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing magenta to coordinate with the album cover's nutsy Peter Max-esque psychedelic chorus line illustration. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Selection from Dad's Collection #75! Cinnamon Girl is the only song I remember dad playing from this one, sadly missing now.

Typically ironic Loss Leaders bio of Lorraine Ellison

#75 is a CRAZY weird mix of music, wow

Would've chosen Cinnamon Girl but... No disc 1, only a mis-shelved "After the Gold Rush", which I have no sleeve for 😥

Nice sound, loud-mastered vinyl. Lorraine is phenomenal(!), that's soul! Why haven't I heard her?
