MICHAEL McDONALD - That Was Then The Early Recordings LP 72 82 w No Looking Back LP 85 w The Very Best Of CD 01

 REPOST and ADD ON:  Found out I also had the 1985 album and so replaced some of the Best of CD songs with vinyl versions.  Musicians who played with him says he has an intuit feel for the music from a strong background in Motown type R&B. Thanks to ClassicMusic20 for suggesting the early vinyl.

HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS - st cassette 80 w Sports LP 83 w Four Chords and Several Years Ago CD 94

REPOST and ADD ON:  Added the crucial album 'Sports' which had all the hits on it to the CD I had posted before.  Also added the first album as a cassette I had found at Goodwill, however, it had some slight warped areas but I was really curious to hear it.  Someone in my facebook vinyl group posted a picture of 'Sports' last week and said he wasn't going to break the seal on it.  I reminded me I had it in good shape from Goodwill and also sadly, that Huey had lost his hearing and had to retire from music.

David Townsend - MAKING UP THE NUMBERS LP 78

 A British vocalist and writer who worked for the Alan Parsons Project.  In searching about him, I found out on the TAPP album 'Eve' he has sang with my recent post Lesley Duncan as well as Clare Torry and both of them had sang on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with Clare's improvised solo made famous on 'Great Gig in the Sky"!! You KNOW which part like I did right away.  Thanks to ClassicMusic20 for the suggestion/request.

COOPER BROTHERS - st LP 78

 Probably were the only Canadian (Ottawa) band on the old Southern Rock only Capricorn record label.  Their song on this album (they have one more worth getting I think) called "The Dream Never Dies" earned an ASCAP award as one of the most performed songs on U.S. radio in 1980 among other awards.     https://gofile.io/d/5CISI2

VA - AMERICAN ROOTS (K-tel) CD 04

 Well I only did that John Wayne post for the 4th of July then later found this excellent CD along with the others below so's we a gonna keep tha' party goin' all month, yoh!  Includes:  Woody Guthrie, The Carter Family, Vernon Hart, Jimmie Rodgers, Bill Monroe (my dad's favorite artist!), Uncle Dave Macon, Flatt & Scruggs (my dad's other favorite along with Gene Autry as a youth), Wayne Raney, The Delmore Brothers and Roy Acuff.              https://gofile.io/d/VKIdqy

John Philip Sousa - The March King CD w Sousa's Greatest Hits & Some That Should Have Been CD 99 w The Royal Marines - The Very Best Of CD 90

 Part of my delayed 4th of July post after I had found some missing groups I had set aside.  I lumped these best of the best marches together.     Our local fireworks park has a band named after JPS and have played every year since I can remember and still do up in MN.  One year, in my first house neighborhood, I found out two doors down was the band leader's classic old house where he lived all these years and was invited over to see his antiques like an old steel carriage in his living room and a Model T Ford in the garage he took out time to time that I had remembered seeing drive by my front porch of my 1920's ballroom yellow house by the creek.        https://gofile.io/d/CHDvfK                                               

JOE GLAZER - Folk Songs of The American Dream CD 94 w The Music of American Politics CD 97

 Part of my belated 4th of July post. This does some great historic folk songs and campaign jingles.  The political songs were not listed correctly on the CD so I had to add a title 'Slogans' and change a couple from the order they were listed on the CD.          https://gofile.io/d/D8Kh6o

Civil War Guitar - Campfire Memories LP 83 w VA - The Civil War CD 98

 I lumped these together as they had the common theme.  Part of my catching up to some buried 4th of July posts I had missed a couple weeks ago--might as well make it a month long celebration!  The compilation includes:  Charlie Daniels, Travis Tritt, Deana Carter, Gene Miller, Trace Adkins, Bebe Winans, Brtyan White and Amy Grant, Shiloh, Kevin Sharp, Linda Eder, Michael English, Trisha Yearwood and John Berry.                           https://gofile.io/d/5fhDG7

The Chipmunks - 20 All-Time Golden Greats LP 82 w Urban Chipmunk LP 81

 Don't blame me or Alvin, I think it was Jonder over at Jonderblog that requested this one (or maybe he had a line through it...LOL) on one of his awesome Dave Alvin or Alex Chilton recent posts.  The later one has Jerry Reed reprising the classic straight man role but this album was kind of beat up.

Alison Krauss - Now That I Found You A COLLECTION CD 94 95 w A 100 Miles or More--A Collection CD 07 w ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION - EVERY TIME YOU SAY GOODBYE CD 92 w New Favorite CD 01

 REPOST and ADD ON:  Adding both the Union Station collaborations and the newer CD, all from Goodwill finds.  Search also the 'O' Brother Where Art Thou' cast album and concert she did real good!

The Digital Encyclopedia of Sound Effects CD 88 w 75 Spectacular Sound Effects Vol. 1 CD

 Couple more to add to the library of sound effects.  I like the 'Encyclopedia' one as only 12 songs grouped as categories as it is much easier to label!           https://gofile.io/d/b00E9N

STRAWBS - Sandy Denny And The LP 68 w Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios LP 70 w From The Witchwood LP 71 w Grave New World LP 72 w The Best Of Strawbs w Bursting At The Seams LP 73 w Hero And Heroine LP 74 w Ghosts LP 75 w Nomadness LP 75 w Deep Cuts LP 76 w Burning For You LP 77 w Deadlines LP 78 w Strawbs By Choice LP

REPOST Request:  Well the Wiki write-up on this band calls them a cross between the Byrds and Jefferson Airplane.  Obviously I am missing a whole bunch of their sixties releases since they started in 1964.  The greatest hits double album on the bottom was only worth getting for one long (9 minutes plus) great song only found on it called 'Blue Angel'. Rick Derringer on this also.

TRIPOD JIMMIE - Long Walk Off A Short Pier LP 82 w A Warning To All Strangers LP 86

REPOST Request:  A side project for Tom Herman of Pere Ubu.  One album is recorded on the shores of Lake Erie live and sounds VERY cool!       https://gofile.io/d/QzVyxs

YOUNG WASTENERS - st EP 06 w We Got Ways LP 02

REPOST Request:  Giving y'all a break this week with only one other post but it is a whopper right below and so am featuring this great band that rocks hard as main post.  Enjoy and nice request!!

Maurice And The Cliches - st LP 80 w C'est La Vie LP 82

REPOST Request and ADD ON:  This request for the 1982 album took a while to do but I'm sure they don't mind as I realized I did not have the first album!  Very infectious new wave.

SIS Q LINT - PRE-NEED EP 84

 REPOST Request:  I could not find my original file of this put captured it from youtube.  Once I heard the pops on it I remembered them from before somehow and then totally cleaned the file to make nice and quiet.  I think you will enjoy and if anyone has the 7 inch it too is over a hundred bucks to get!  Reminds me of recent band that is quickly rising to stardom from U.K. called 'Wet Leg' who I first heard from Dangerous Mind's post about how he played the 'Chaise Lounge' video over and over.

Speaking of remastering files, I had to redo the following:

Roger Whittaker (I sometime miss groove wear use circular when elliptical will remedy somewhat).

Lesley Duncan (groove wear fixed)

The Archers (groove wear fixed)

Chocolate Paintbox (found out as cheap CD company with too low signal, normalized wave form function used, added some software boost and also used anti-hissing from tapes and anti-noise for random sounds)  really is a great album!!  (they used to call me a 'blind man' when I was right-brain dominant for 10 years from riding a crooked bike so that song appealed to me!)
