Good Monday Morning People !
Starting off today with...

The Best of Three Dog Night


humm.. thumbnails aren't working properly for me this morning. It took two tries for the front cover and I quit trying after the 5th try on the back cover... EDIT... after posting the thumbnail finally appeared so I could use that picture....

anyway... Jeremiah was a bullfrog !....

 

[Hamilton59]

Ok, some new music for me...

Peter Frampton Band - Frampton Forgets The Words

 

[The Rang]

Paul McCartney - New

Deluxe edition, book style, with bonus tracks attached to the main album, a bonus disc with 7 tracks, and a DVD.
Really good album, some great songs with typical McCartney lyrics. Quirky production that suits the songs.
But with multiple producers the sound is erratic. Some tracks kinda crunchy and compressed, on others his bass sounds bloated. Almost a demo feel.
But, overall I liked this one a lot

 

[The Rang]

This one came out Apr.28/21 according to the dates on the Obi.
¥1,100, I think I paid about $12 USD from ImportCDs. Got Pressure Drop too.
Never heard the album before so I have nothing to compare to.
Sound is good to me, but it could be old mastering for all I know.
According to the presale the rest are due Oct.1/21

The remaining 6 Robert Palmer's appeared early, September 22.
Were in stock at ImportCDs and Deep Discount briefly but have since vaporized without a trace.
I strongly suspect it's because they conflict with domestic releases on the Culture Factory label.
Sally and Pressure Drop still available (CC didn't release those two)

[The Rang]

Ian Thomas - Glider

The 6th album, from 1979, by this severely underrated Canadian legend.
Best known in the US for writing “The Runner” (Manfred Mann) and “Hold On” (Santana) among others.
Great album as usual for Ian, impeccable production.
This release is on Rock Candy, not always known for great sound. This one is just OK.
Not great, not terrible.

 

[The Rang]

Elvis Costello - Hey Clockface

Verbose as usual but unlike his last two or three albums he seems to have refrained from cramming too many words into the songs. They flow better, gives them room to breathe.
Production is weird on some songs. The ones recorded in Helsinki sound grittier with way too much bass, maybe the intention?
Regardless, his best album in quite awhile.

Good Wednesday Afternoon People!

So this morning, I picked out this CD to play, turned my system on and found out that Blue Origin was returning to Earth now. So I got caught up watching the landing and the passengers leaving the capsule. It took a while for Willaim Shatner to gather his thoughts and try to describe his unimagined reaction to flying out through the blue atmosphere and into the blackness of space. It had a profound effect on him that he hopes he'll never loose.... I found it quite touching.

So now onto The Lovin' Spoonful Greatest Hits....


Do you believe in magic?

I tried to switch threads to Now listening to in mono or stereo CD and QQ has quit responding! Oh nooooo....
So the sound quality of this CD is horrible....bummer.
Well I've checked back and I can get to QQ again, yay!

 

[Hamilton59]

And time for some new music...

Ringo Starr - Zoom In


Good ole Ringo!

 

[Hamilton59]

Now back to...

Klaus Schulze - In Blue

 

[The Rang]

Ian Thomas - The Runner

The follow up to Glider and though it sports three songs that became hits for others, the album doesn’t hold together as well, not enough songs grab me.
Sadly the sound is poor. Ian was meticulous in the studio so it’s not the recording.
I’ve read plenty of stories about how bad some Rock Candy Records releases sound.
This is definitely one of them.

 

[Hamilton59]
