REPOST and ADD ON:   All new added to last four pictures from previous post.  The cassettes right above that were replaced with youtube file rips from vinyl as my tape player broke again and new one on the way.  The new vinyl added from Goodwill was actually the very last rips I did on my old PC before the crash last February so am happy about that as new PC is better suited I think now with my new settings.  Sound really good that seventies vinyl.  I reupped all artists in this post also.

THE ANGELUS CHORUS - SING A HYMN TO MARY LP

For the weekly Jesus Music obscuro this is more 60's gospel (typically no date listed back then) but still a good one as it is kind of a greatest hits for the Virgin Mary.  Enjoy!

FATBACK - Raising Hell LP 75 w NYCNYUSA LP 76 w Fired Up 'N' Kickin' LP 78 w 14 Karat LP 80 w Is This The Future LP 83 w So Delicious LP 85


REPOST Request:  From Discogs with a sentence I had wrote before tacked on the end:  Disco - funk band, formed in 1970, New York City, NY, USA.

Active in the 1970s and '80s, they released an impressive 22 albums in two decades, at labels as Perception Records, Event Records Inc., Spring Records, and Cotillion respectively.

They were the band concept of innovative drummer Bill Curtis, aiming to merge the "fatback" jazz beat of New Orleans into a funk band.

They had seminal hits like "(Do The) Spanish Hustle", "I Like Girls", "Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)", and "Backstrokin'". Their 1979 single "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" is sometimes considered the first hip hop single. 

Brooklyn, NY band akin to Mandrill or perhaps like the band WAR but from the East Coast instead of West Coast but more dance.

PLEASURE - ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES LP 76 w GET TO THE FEELING LP 78 w SPECIAL THINGS LP 80


REPOST Request:  What I wrote before (and still have to do):  Missing a couple in-betweener's for vinyl but this is a good into to this disco legacy band just like I need a few more FATBACK like them and got FOXY covered the Cuban guys and will be doing some of the Donna Summer vinyl and CD I have found at Goodwill (previous mentioned were all found at regular record stores).  I guess top of the heap with this kind of music is Bohannon for me.  Pulled this out as a recent 'disco' contributor Terry G may like this band!                   https://bestfile.io/en/3oxtUPT7GTvPkKn/file

VA - THE WORLD'S MOST UNFORGETTABLE MUSIC 9LP 62


 Getting back into the last of the vinyl boxsets and hey found some kids records (16 total) and so in two weeks will start the 16 weeks of Kids Music Christmas.  The cassette player took a dump on me after only a year as it was the same dual player I had before that broke so I had gotten the same brand.  Trying a single deck by next week for only thirty some dollars marked down from a hondo so I can continue the radio tape series again.  This classical stuff is super quiet in parts then goes into triumphant loudness!!!

DIMENSIONAL SOUND - T.E.J. RECORDS TOP 50 3LP 75 & THE BIG 50 3LP 77


O.K. a mega huge thanks to E.W. (https://mondoexploito.blogspot.com/?m=1) for requesting and steering me to one of these series from T.E.J. records--a kind of super compilation of what we have called copycat bands.  Basically a record studio mix of musicians all under the Dimensional Sound name umbrella.  I suppose the label kept all of the musicians names secret so they could get a percentage if some label wanted to promote them because they loved how the band hammed up the hit tune or something.  Never any info with these but I did see where they slipped in a name or two on some songs of copycat band names I recognized from posting in the past so will have to do a super organizing eventually with these beloved copycat bands as this here post was made for a big party I'd say as not too many embarrassing songs and it they are there the spin the band puts on it makes it their own 'punkish' version so enjoy thoroughly as I will.  Cheers! 

The Everly Brothers - All-Time Original Hits CD 99 w The Rock 'N' Roll ERA tape 87 w The Very Best Of LP 71


 REPOST and ADD ON:  Well, finally getting the Everly Brothers posted from vinyl specifically as last time just a few CD's from Goodwill.  However, I found a few years after that post that I had missed the vinyl that I had buried from a Goodwill visit around the same period.  I guess it has new recordings back in 1971.  Enjoy!                  https://bestfile.io/Hx26pVA5h8t5NxQ/file
