Jane Olivor: In Concert

  Columbia CD

Found this in the bargain bin at Mr. Cheapo's for 49 cents. Jane was one of my wife's favorite recording artist back in her college days so I figured I would get hero points for bringing  this one home (or maybe at least she would not notice all of the other discs I was bringing into the house  :Dunno )

When I picked it out of the bin I checked the disc and it looked fine so I threw it in my basket. However I never checked the booklet. Meredith was all excited when I gave it to her and immediately pulled out the booklet to see when the concert was recorded. And when she opened it there she found that it had been autographed.  The signature was definitely done in Sharpie and when I pulled up a picture of a Jane Oliver item for sale on ebay with a certified genuine autograph the signature looked, at least to my untrained eye, to be genuine.

Extra bonus hero points for this one!  :thumb

And it only cost me half a buck.  :2thumb

A Karajan Festival: Berlin Philharmonic

Duetsche Gramaphone LP (German pressing)

Found this at the Crack House. Mint condition cover, pristine vinyl, the only problem, the recording flat out sucks. Sounds like it was recorded on a cassette player in somebody's garage. Not at all what I expected from DG. Pass it by.

Brahms/Dvorak, Hungarian/Slavonic Dances: Reiner/The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

London Treasury Series LP (English Pressing)

Tony DeSare: Want You

Telarc CD

Nice male vocal/Small jazz combo recording. And coming from Telarc, you know the SQ is good.

Well worth the 49 cents I risked on it out of the Mr. Cheapo clearance box.

Tony DeSare: Last First Kiss

Karen Carpenter

A&M CD

Karen's only solo album, recorded in 1979 while brother Richard took some time off for a stint in rehab, this album was produced by Phil Ramone with an eye towards a wider adult contemporary audience. It was rejected by the folks at A&M because it was not in keeping with The Carpenters "image". I was shelved and finally released 13 years after Karen's death. Not an album that I would consider serious listening material, but enjoyable as background music.

I would not have forked over full price for it, but not bad for a dollar bin pull.
