 I started all this Goodwill stuff with "Fabulous seven-minute production numbers!" on the first album with two songs that way which clearly are better and took out repeat tracks albeit not identical (Don't worry I picked the overall best versions!).             https://gofile.io/d/Crm8cW

ROGER COOK - Alright LP 76 w Study CD 70 w BLUE MINK - Melting Pot CD 69 w Our World CD 70

 Got the request for the 1976 album and made a quick buy to add to the blog files I found to add some context to his music.  That being said, I really like that album and thank E.W. and ClassicMusic20 for both requesting it (great minds think together!).   Decided to combine the two here:

CRAZY TOWN - THE GIFT OF GAME CD 99

Love this band and that year I lived in Los Angeles for a tech job while seeing my hero bands every weekend, they were kind of like the house band for me as I saw them a few times at the Whiskey Au-Go-Go.  The song 'Toxic' is a classic that I got from Grokster in the early days of filesharing.  Of course 'Butterfly' became a huge hit followed by 'Revolving Door'.     https://krakenfiles.com/view/VJiDz0Nm17/file.html

BUCK WILDE - WHY BLAME THE HOE CD

DOLL BY DOLL - Remember EP 79 w Gypsy Blood LP 79 w Caritas EP 81 w st LP 81 w Grand Passion LP 82

 REPOST Request:  London based rock band formed by Jackie Leven in 1975. They came to prominence during the New Wave before splitting after their third eponymous album "Doll by Doll" recorded 1980 but long delayed due to contractual reasons. The fourth album was Leven and Helen Turner on vocals plus studio musicians.                 https://krakenfiles.com/view/NN8hNpn7ub/file.html           

FLOYD CRAMER - BLUE SKIES CD 97

 PLEASE SEARCH ABOVE FOR MORE and ADD ON:  Well this isn't as classic as the vinyl I posted a couple of weeks ago but will give it a listen to see.   From Louisiana.       https://krakenfiles.com/view/sH8ambYcgi/file.html

BERT KAEMPFERT AHO - THE SILVER COLLECTION CD

 Another case of my collecting all his stuff for fun as it was cheap then dumping the whole load at Goodwill without even hearing it to make room...LOL  Well, Goodwill still got me covered with CD.

MARIO LANZA - The Magic Of 2LP 87 w The Student Prince LP 54 w The Desert Song CD 59

I guess I have made one exception here as I usually do not post opera style singing and avoid it like the plague but he also does a whole variety of popular music singing.      https://krakenfiles.com/view/v5BIvdxals/file.html
 

AL HIRT - The Horn Meets The Hornet LP 66 w All Time Greatest Hits CD 89

REPOST and ADD ON:  Adding the CD to the all time classic Green Hornet music from the TV show my older brothers used to love to watch as kids.         https://krakenfiles.com/view/MrLEIDArf3/file.html 
 

RAY CONNIFF - 16 MOST REQUESTED SONGS CD 86

 It was kind of funny, I had two boxes of this guy's vinyl from a dollar sale buying without having heard any.  Then I think it was New Year's Eve I was cleaning house and I dumped the boxes at my old blog sponsor's back door and took off...LOL.  Sampling a couple tunes from this CD and now I see it was very mellow classical and I made a good decision back then!       https://krakenfiles.com/view/SEK1zpDIRG/file.html.

TRAFFIC - Last Exit CD 69 w John Barleycorn Must Die CD 70 w The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys CD 71 w Smiling Phases 2CD 91

REPOST Request:  Well my older brother had the trapezoidal cover that I inherited and used to have John Barleycorn on tape for a long time but neither still exist so was thrilled to find these all at Goodwill one day.  Great band!         https://krakenfiles.com/view/KBMIS2haWJ/file.html

Electric Beauty - Electric Beauty CD 22

 Going to start off this week with a submission I got at the blog to see what you all think of this band, here is the text it came with:  I wanted to introduce you to a select new band and their eponymous album due out on October 21st, Electric Beauty. The band is comprised of three longtime friends who played music together on and off for years in Minneapolis, MN. 

Guitar player Wayne Hasti is known for his time in underground legends NNB, The Ben Day Dots, The Now Explosion and The Singing None. Charlie Pine was the original fourth member of Husker Du, playing on their first couple of gigs. He also spent five years as the first manager and producer of the legendary band, The Jayhawks. Jim Tollesfrud has been an in-demand drummer in the Twin Cities for years with influential groups such as NNB, Safety Last and The Front Porch Swinging Liquor Pigs.

TRUK - TRUK TRACKS LP 71

 Bought this one for about $40 for my birthday last week when my buddy Dale T. old singer for Otto's Chemical Lounge posted about it.  It is killer 70's Hard Rock...GOOOOOOO!

Shotgun - st LP 77 w Good, Bad & Funky CD 78 w III LP 79

This Detroit funk band is awesome and slipped under my radar until a couple weeks ago when my friend who has owned a MN record store still going from back when this came out posted on meta about liking the first album.                   https://krakenfiles.com/view/NHceDmyQTj/file.html
 

TOMMY KNIGHT - st LP 81

 This is a pretty cool 70's groovin' sound that was requested by ClassicMusic20...enjoy!

JESSI COLTER - Jessi LP 75 76 w Rock And Roll Lullaby LP 84

 

REPOST and ADD ON:  Perhaps my oldest repost request as I waited until I could add the 1984 album to previous post.  Waylon Jennings plays on the early album.

 REPOST and ADD ON:  Found the Body Heat album and also record one (has the best song IMO) missing a jacket of the Ndeda double album.  Here is what I wrote before regarding the CD compilation:   Contains yet another from the 'Back In The Days Of Soul' old radio playlist with the song having the Barry White classic fill-in called, 'The Secret Garden' as well as 'Sax In The Garden'.
