HUMAN SWITCHBOARD - 7 78 w 7 79 w Fly-In EP w Who's Landing In My Hangar LP 81 w Limited Edition Fan Club Release, Kent, OR 1980 LP 80 w Coffee Break! ROIR tape 82 w Anthology 1977 - 1984 CD 11

REPOST and ADD ON:  Last minute edition of the Coffee Break! ROIR cassette rip from defunct Isksp blog out of Brazil (we are still friends and he now has two kids on the farm!).  However, main reason for post was Josef (Austria) mentioning to me about the Anthology so I got it as I already knew about them from when I posted that first album--which was the first time that I read that anyone had called a DU post a Masterpiece and then for later reposts got as many 7 inch's as they had.  Then I saw the 1982 bootleg for not much on Discogs so you have nice rip for that live show and great keyboard band, ENJOY!

HOOVER - st LP 69

 A huge thanks to Josef (Austria) this week with several suggestions and this one by Willis Hoover that I had to buy to hear for myself and it sounds great with creative flourishes in the sound.  It needs my final MP3 player headphone listening this week into next weekend to really lock in!  Cheers! ! !

THE HOOVERS - Skin And Blisters LP 80 w Shout And Class EP 81

 I pulled this very old one out for two reasons:  1) Avoid HOOVER confusion above since I love this band from early days of DU and 2) Keyboard sounds a bit like Human Switchboard above but with more ska beats.  They are from Santa Rosa, CA.  ENJOY!

THE SKUNKS - EARTHQUAKE SHAKE CD 00 w various youtube

 Starting a new series today as I ran out of the World's Greatest Radio shows cassettes from Goodwill (all gotten on one fine day at the bins) as well as the Hillbilly tape series as the last two got eaten by my new tape deck this past weekend but were mass market hymns.  This new series of DECADES in music will go from 20's, 30's (quite a bit we'll see if I can cram it all into next week), 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's (a mess of tapes for the end).  These vinyl are quite good so enjoy!

VA - THE VERY BEST IN COUNTRY MUSIC LP 77

 For the country comp this week a fine one from K-tel which always has the cool hip tunes (too bad they hired so many family members who "had no qualifications for the job's they were doing" and after doing O.K. in oil production went belly up--I often think about this where I work--after all my first drafting job was on K-tel Drive in MN).  Artists featured:  Roy Clark, Ronnie Milsap, Don Williams, Barbara Mandrell, Johnny Carver, Narvel Felts, Moe Bandy, Joe Stampley, Freddy Fender, Carroll Baker, Waylon & Willie, Mickey Gilley, Donna Fargo, Tommy Overstreet, Randy Cornor, Billy 'Crash' Craddock, George Jones and Willie Nelson.  Enjoy!

PLACIDO DOMINGO - RECITAL OF ITALIAN OPERATIC ARIAS LP 68

Per Discogs:  Real Name:  José Plácido Domingo Embil

Profile:  Born January 21, 1941 in Madrid, Spain

Spanish opera singer, conductor, and arts administrator. He has recorded over a hundred complete operas and is well known for his versatility, regularly performing in Italian, French, German, Spanish, English and Russian, in the most prestigious opera houses in the world.

Although primarily a lirico-spinto tenor for most of his career, especially popular for his Cavaradossi, Hoffmann, Don José and Canio, he quickly moved into more dramatic roles, becoming the most acclaimed Otello of his generation. In the early 2010s, he transitioned from the tenor repertory into exclusively baritone parts, most notably Simon Boccanegra. As of 2020, he has performed 151 different roles.

FLOYD CRAMER - Plays Your Golden Favorites tape 85 w Class Of '65 LP 65 w America's Biggest-Selling Pianist LP 61 w I Remember Hank Williams LP 62 w On The Rebound LP 61 w Blue Skies CD 97 w Floyd Cramer And The Keyboard Kick Band LP 77

REPOST and ADD ON:  Adding three vinyl to previously posted as well as all the DU comp album tracks I had to fill in.  I found his slurring method quite fascinating--here is the back cover text that mentions it:  Floyd Cramer became America's biggest-selling pianist by giving America a new sound.  He did it first with Last Date and followed its success with two more hits, On the Rebound and San Antonio Rose.

  The Floyd Cramer sound is easier to listen to than to describe in print.  Technically, it's a method of slurring--or bending--nots which Floyd first heard used by old-style Southern steel guitarists.  He converted this style to the piano, added some ideas of his own, and suddenly found that he had captured America's musical ear.  Floyd calls his style 'a lonesome country sound'.  His friend Chet Atkins calls it 'a way of playing the piano with feeling'.  But whatever it's called, the Cramer touch is a success.  It has given new meanings to old songs, and has given new songs a distinction that marks them as his private property.

HUSTLER - High Street LP 74 w PLAY LOUD LP 75

They changed their name to 'Hustler' in 1974. The band released two albums on A&M in the 1st half of the 70s, supported Queen on that band’s first headline tour and toured with Status Quo in Europe.

Cherry Five - st CD 75 -cc

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Going back this week for last out of order additions to this series as D was finished and next week it will be onward to the E's.  What I like about doing it this way is I get very nice surprises every week as you will see on this one per Discogs:  Having started out as Oliver (releasing a few demo tapes) they later changed their name to Cherry Five (releasing one, eponymous, LP) before finally settling on Goblin. During the completion of the Cherry Five album, Dario Argento helped bring over the members to score his Profondo Rosso soundtrack; at which point drummer Carlo Bordini was replaced by Walter Martino and Goblin was formed.

Jeremy Morris - Alive LP 84

REPOST:  I pulled out three solo artist classics last week but forgot to post them!  This one I must have accidentally erased any comments because I remember how popular his guitar playing was talked about.  Back in early days of the blog when White Out still came with a brush and not roll-on style.  Couldn't find it on Discogs to get an unmarked picture but anyhoo please do enjoy as it is the best of the three!
