Picked up some vinyl recently. Some new, some old.... Got the amp heating up now..


Rick Wakeman-Journey to the Center of the Earth. Sweet Thunder half speed master. Edition 1 of only 11 albums remastered. Original release 1974-remastered 1981.


True Believers-same. Alejandro Escovedo, etc...1986



Ella at Duke's Place. 1965. Verve 4070 cut corner gatefold. Very clean album. All the big boys are on here-Procope, Gonzalves, Hodges, Bellson,....

Klaatu-Klaatu.

front cover

back.

"They named themselves after the extraterrestrial character Klaatu in the film The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Original title is "3:47 EST"-Canadian version where they hailed from. Their first album, 3:47 EST (named Klaatu in the US as Capitol Records' executives found the original title too obscure). (BTW, if anyone has a copy please let me know).

Yep like maybe 2% of America knew WTF a "Klaatu" was....

The back cover is a cool as the front.


The New Pornograpers-Whiteout Conditions.
As usual the AC Newman tunes with Neko Case rock. Saw them in concert a few weeks ago. Very professional-pretty much just get up and play without any messing around.


Beatles-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
New remaster. Elegant....
