Gary Walker & The Rain- Album No. 1 CD 68

 Had to kick it into high gear this week and get this when I heard our favorite local musical transplant resident when I was in Minnesota next to Brian Setzer, Joey Molland from Badfinger had just passed away at 77.  My skater buddy Skip worked at Nate's Guitar for many years in St. Paul and Joey became a friend to my friend as he was in and out of the shop frequently.  More details in the file.  R.I.P. to a great!!!

Here's a link about him as well:  https://ultimateclassicrock.com/joey-molland-badfinger-dead/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIzApVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRz6jmnDQB7JAT3jiq2y0KGIYmHNuY55loGFdRkkJviURacCw4lcro0xrg_aem_c5nngri5w2wgCSsCaJPAdQ

Didn't realize he was in Natural Gas and Aardvark and so will have to bring those in to work for repost.

Geordie - Hope You Like It CD 73 w Don't Be Fooled By The Name CD 74 w Save The World CD 76 w No Good Woman CD 78 w bonus

 The very first vinyl record that I ever bought with my own money (back in grade school when I was in the RCA record club) was AC/DC's Back In Black so it would follow that I would want to hear Brian Johnson's earlier band Geordie.  I haven't heard it yet as I pulled this one since my PC is still being fixed but am looking forward to hearing it and enjoyed the posters in the 4CD boxset from Brazil.  Oi!

VA - Rock 'N Roll 4CD 10

 IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL:  Well, trying to keep some of these mini-themes going while my PC is being fixed (the knee-jerk cheap replacement buy didn't work as DVD door was stuck and sound card had some weird optical input for line-in instead of RCA jack).  What I wrote last time:  This Goodwill find has following artists on it:  Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, The Crickets, Carl Perkins, Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, Danny And The Juniors, Larry Williams, The Champs, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marty Wilde, Hucy Piano Smith, The Coasters, Sheb Wooley, Preston Epps, Chuck Berry, Guy Mitchell, Paul Anka, Ricky Nelson, Bobby Darin, Tommy Sands, Duan Eddy, Marty Robbins, Marvin Rainwater, Tennessee Ford, Hank Ballard And The Midnighters, Bill Haley, The Crystals (newer recording sounds disco not like my cherished 'Uptown' album), Fats Domino, Everly Brothers, The Diamonds, Johnny And The Hurricanes, Carl Peters, Tommy Bruce, Lloyd Price, Joey And The Starlighters and Shangri-La's.

Atlantis w Frumpy w Inga Rumpf

REPOST Request:  Well they had only asked for the first Atlantis album which was a bad vinyl copy I had so I had to "pull it" just like that owner of building 7 and the other two said and since I have already brought it home you will have to go by the pictures shown for what is included within which is substantial.  I had no idea!!

The Sweet - Demos CD w Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be LP 71 w Sweet Fanny Adams LP 74 w Ballroom Blitz 7 73 w The Collector Seires CD 89 w Golden Hits CD 96 w Greatest Hits w FANNY ADAMS - st CD 71

REPOST Request:  What'ya know I had Sweet Fanny Adams downloaded from some other blog a few months ago and Viola! it fits here.  What I wrote last time:  I have had the red CD on top the longest since school daze and think it the best, however I got the blue ones much later and they have a totally different sound and are great too.  The rest may be lower quality from blogsphere.

John Jarvis - Pure Contours CD 90

 REPOST Request:  An interesting jazz series of artists found it at Goodwill!

JACK GREEN - Humanesque LP 80 w Reverse Logic LP 81 w RCA SPECIAL RADIO SERIES VOLUME VIII LP 81 w MYSTIQUE LP 83 w LATEST GAME LP 86 w THE PARTY AT THE END OF THE WORLD CD 20

 REPOST Request:  What I wrote before (and quite timely for next holiday I might add!!):  Actually he is a Scottish musician but St. Patrick's Day is mainly about wearing 'Green" in USA so thought I would get the rest of his stuff after getting a request in the comments and sure glad I did.  A rare artist who sounds as good in later years as in early years and also I have tried to collect all the RCA Special Radio Series releases in the past and this one is new addition.

Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado LP 74 w A New World Record LP 76 w Ole ELO LP 76 w Out Of The Blue 2LP 77 w Discovery LP 79 wFirst Move (Best of the Move) 2LP 73 w st LP 70 w The Greatest Hits Vol. 1 LP 70 w Split Ends LP 72 w Shazam! + Something Else Live CD

REPOST Request:  What I wrote last time:   Thanks to Antonio from Rocket Star Records for letting me rip and return Eldorado LP and for being a good record store owner who knows his ELO enough to suggest what to rip.  Thus I have all the 'hit' tunes my older sister used to play in her room such as an old favorite, 'Sweet Talkin' Woman' and many more.  Also with the Move's 'Split Ends' transitioning the band into ELO, I decided to lump in all the previous Move stuff as a link in this post as it is too hard to search for such a generic word.  High pitched goodness for a guy like me who likes high pitches singin'!  Forgot to mention in our old MN scene we had an ELO cover band called EL-No! also a band with Kosta that covered Sade tunes called Solid Gold.  Quite a cool scene revolving around Radio K.

EXILE - st LP 73 w Stage Pass LP 78 w Mixed Emotions LP 78 w All There Is LP 79 w Don't Leave Me This Way LP 80 w st LP 83 w Kentucky Hearts LP 84 w Shelter From The Night LP 87 w Greatest Hits tape 87

REPOST Request:  What I wrote last time:  Well got more to add to their hit 'Kiss You All Over' from the 70's and an album or two are very good especially after their hit but before they went stale with the country rock.  Discogs is reeling endlessly on me again so I'll let you look it up.
