ALL ABOUT MUSIC #2 - Non Surround, Not Covered In Other Threads

[Quad Linda]

I bought several CD reissues of Campbell's 60's albums, incl. Wichita Lineman.

I have a corrupted CD 1 of the OOP Campbell The Legacy 1961 - 2002 CD box set. Could anyone who also owns this rare box please send me a PM? Thanks in advance. My CD 2, 3 & 4 play OK.
Disc 1 tracks: 1. Look at Me Turn Around, 2. Kentucky Means Paradise, 3. Too Blue to Cry Too Late to Worry, 4. Universal Soldier, 5. Guess I'm Dumb, 6. Burning Bridges, 7. Just to Satisfy You, 8. Less of Me, 9. Gentle on My Mind, 10. Crying, 11. By the Time I Get to Phoenix, 12. Tomorrow Never Comes, 13. Hey Little One, 14. I Wanna Live, 15. Look at Me - (new version) Turn Around, 16. The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde, 17. Let It Be Me, 18. Scarborough Fair / Canticle, 19. Wichita Lineman, 20. Dreams of the Everyday Housewife, 21. Reason to Believe

A couple recommended Glen Campbell rarities:

Big Bluegrass Special 1962: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bluegrass_Special
'96 CD reissue has bonus tracks.

My World Fell Down - Sagittarius (Gary Usher & Curt Boetcher) 1967 (45 version) Glen Campbell sings lead. "Bullfight" sequence rumoured to be from an early mix of Brian Wilson's Smile. "Bullfight" is missing from 1968 LP version on original issue Present Tense LP and all LP/CD versions. 45 mono version added as bonus track on some CD issues.

And...for those who love hard rock from the 80's..... (no, not the typical hair band)

This is I Believe from Savatage.......see my vinyl rip above.

Man, not the best quality video - but man oh man..what a band Ozzy used to have in 1981. Randy Rhodes, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge......so much talent and what an amazing song. Plus, the keyboard intro by Don Airey (I think it's him)

Hard to believe that Randy died so young and yet is considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time...

One of the greatest joys of ripping my vinyl, is that it has educated me. First off, while I'm ripping, I'm reading the liner notes on the album.....and also, I pull up the description of the album on WIKI (so I can keep track of the length of the songs)

And, WIKI is a treasure of information (OK, I know it's hit and miss) and it's shocking what you learn about artists you maybe dismissed back in the day. Take Stephen Bishop. Man, he's a talented guy, and has contributed and or wrote songs that others recorded. And, on his debut above, he has some great artists helping him out..... Eric Clapton does a short jam, Chaka Kahn sings backup on several...and Art Garfunkel as well. Just a great opportunity for me to learn more about these artists I got into back in the day.
