The Beatles ~ Revolver

    Japanese Parlophone  LP

During our talk I neglected to tell you I bought a complete set of Beatles LPs
on Japanese Vinyl about 4 years ago they but they didn't have the obi strips
at a cost of $20 per LP and $30 for the White Album

I think you did pretty good for yourself...

This is a Sundazed reissue of a timeless Link Wray classic and it sounds great.  About a dozen Sundazed pressings came in today from Acoustic Sounds so I have a lot of new vinyl to go through.  This one is definitely a winner.

Matt Pond PA ~ Measure

    CD

[jsaliga]

Those of you familiar with this band will probably remember them for the power ballad When I'm With You.  It was the only reason I bought this still sealed LP, and I only bought it as a purchase of opportunity and wasn't really looking for it.  I didn't recall anything else about this band or its music.  After having just spun the fist side I can safely say that aside from that one memorable hit, the record seems to be filled with a lot of very forgettable 80s rock.

This still sealed Sanata record was an outstanding recent find.  Tearing off the shrink wrap and spinning this record was like stepping into a time machine.

There is a song on this I really love, called La Murga. It is a latin jazz standard, a lot of bands did it. It is one of the top 10 salsa songs of all time.

Pearls Before Swine ~ The Use Of Ashes

    LP

Pearls Before Swine was an American psychedelic folk band formed by Tom Rapp in 1965 in Eau Gallie, now part of Melbourne, Florida. They released six albums between 1967 and 1971, before Rapp launched a solo career. Rapp lived close to Cape Canaveral and watched the rockets take off. The song "Rocket Man", on the album The Use of Ashes - written the day Neil Armstrong landed on the moon - was credited by Bernie Taupin with inspiring his hit song with Elton John of the same title. Quote : "We didn't steal that one from Bowie, we stole it from another guy, called Tom Rapp..."
