Record Store Day/What's Hot, What's Weird & What I'll Definitely Skip

[@Carl-x8y3c]

Hi 👋 Melinda. I saw Chris Isaak when i visited the USA in 1987. He played in San Francisco in the Haight Ashbury District at a venue called I - Beam. Good memory for me. I viewed him on youtube recently doing a gig and singing Elvis Presleys song Can't help falling in Love. He sounds good. I like your Doors t - shirt. Good records. I had the pleasure of seeing David Bowie live in concert in 1978 here in New Zealand. I was 18 then. Im 64 now. From Carl.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! You have been to some incredible concerts. ❤️🤗 Chris Isaak has a terrific voice and does a very nice job of Can't Help Falling In Love. Thank you for the kind compliment. Take care.

[@chrisfrank9288]

I always appreciate your enthusiasm. Thanks for highlighting some discs I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you very much for the kind words. ❤️🤗 Take care.

[@diannecarpenter7718]

Wow !! Hi Melinda !! I really enjoyed, you talking about, your favorites for, RSD, 2024 !! I went to my local record stores, for RSD, but didn’t get everything, on my list. Let me know, what you got, for RSD, 2024. My favorites are: * Tinted Windows * Kate Bush- Eat the Music * Def Leppard- Live at The Leadmill Sheffield * Eric Carr- Unfinished Business * Ace Frehley- 10,000 Volts (picture disc). * Queen- Cool Cats 7’ inch record * Ann Wilson (of Heart) & Tripsitter- Live * The Slits- In the Beginning * Linda Ronstadt- Box set * Dead Or Alive - Remixes *Paramore- This Is Why and more. Take Care. 🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁 Life is better with music

[@MelindaMurphy]

Hello! I ended up getting the David Bowie and Amboy Dukes releases. I wanted more but we are in the process of moving and money is a little tight. Plus, I don't need anything else to have to pack away. Lol. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

[@charliesvoice5184]

Hi Melinda! Thanks so much for pointing out the Bowie record. I honestly overlooked it. I got that on my list now.

[@MelindaMurphy]

It should be a great one. I hope I am able to pick it up too. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

[@stevenj2380]

PS> The Bowie is a must . I'd like the Nat King Cole. The Dark Side of The Moon 2 discs, 1-side play only, special graphics in the disc, is a temptation if I see it and am not spent-out.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I just got that Pink Floyd DSOTM record today but haven't played it yet. I would love to have the Bowie and Nat King Cole records. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.

[@groovingonvintagevinyl7840]

Cannonball was great! I have a few of his albums and I've always been impressed. Great video!

[@MelindaMurphy]

He was such a great artist. Poppin in Paris is my favorite RSD title. Thank you and take care.

[@brucegrossman3531]

Thanks for turning me onto Yusef Lateef. How have I missed this guy. My jazz tastes are all over the map. Besides Miles and Coltrane I veer off to Sun Ra. I also enjoy people like Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. I'm no jazz expert or snob. But I know what I enjoy.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I love Wes Montgomery and Grant Green as well. ❤️ Sun Ra is a little out there for me but maybe something I warm up to in the future. I'm so glad you discovered Yusef Lateef. His name isn't always brought up when discussing the jazz greats but it should be. ❤️ Thank you and take care. 🤗

[@jinedo58]

Great video, the only releases I’m after are the Bill Evans album and a blues album by Earl Hooker (great blues guitar)

[@MelindaMurphy]

Very nice. I look forward to the reviews of the Bill Evans release. I bet it will sound terrific in mono. Happy RSD!

[@richardrigg9916]

Hi Melinda, I'm just getting back into vinyl again after a 20+ year hiatus. I purchased a Dual 618Q and bought an additional Ortofon Black cartridge. I still have a 600+ album collection to dust off from back in the day, but this album will be my first purchase for the new TT: Rufus Reid Presents Caelan Cardello. Sounds intriguing.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! You are off to an amazing start! I hope it brings you so much joy. 🤗❤️ Welcome back. Thank you and take care.

[@1FastKawboy]

I'm excited too! It falls on my birthday this year. Also, my granddaughter turns 16 just a few days after. She is just getting started on her record collection. This will give us another good reason to spend some quality time going to Younger Then Yesterday in Peoria Illinois! Great shop!

[@MelindaMurphy]

That sounds like a wonderful time. ❤️ Have fun! Thank you and take care.

Mind Games EP as a sampler for the John Lennon boxset Mind Games due in July is what I am waiting for on RSD. It will be on black vinyl and glow in the dark vinyl ( the one I want)

[@MelindaMurphy]

That should be a great release. It's a cool RSD year for Beatles fans. Thank you and take care. 😀

[@jimmyBside]

Hey Melinda. I had a blast out there today. Got the Tragically Hip record (surprise inside) I was after. Lined up at 7am and froze my vinyl loving butt off…😂 Store only had 10. Swung back home for a nap😴 Then back out for round 2. Hit 4 stores in a 100mi round trip. Almost went international with quick trip across the bridge to CA. I was at a super cool shop 200 yards from the border, in Niagara Falls NY. Great day for sure. Now time to play some records. ☕️

[@MelindaMurphy]

That sounds like such a fun day. 🥰 RSD is so awesome! Thank you and have a great week.

[@nay4peace280]

I had fun on RSD but my record store did not have the record I wanted most- but I was able to aquire it today from another store🎉 It is Alan Parson"s Project- one of my personal favorites!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I'm glad you were able to find it. I didn't see that one while I was out at all. 😳 Thank you and take care.

[@curtissimpkins]

another great video my friend and yes you got to love the original sun sounds and i was at Sun studio years ago and i love it..

[@MelindaMurphy]

I love those old songs. No one can sing like Elvis but Chris Isaak does a great job on these classic songs. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.

[@SDsailor7]

@@MelindaMurphy Since you love Rock n roll I would like to recommend the Warning three sisters that rock and have great music. If you have a chance go see them live. Their ERROR album is nothing but banger after banger! The drummer was voted best up and coming drummer of 2023 by Modern drummer magazine and in the same year won the Drumeo award for best Rock drummer of 2023 she is also a lead singer in the band. To get an idea of their talent check out the teatro Metropolitan CDMX 2022 concert here on You tube.

[@Thejazzfan66]

If you’re a KISS fan, check out the latest by Paul Stanley. It’s an album that’s his tribute to the soul music and R&B he grew up listening to. He calls his group Paul Stanley’s Soul Station. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Yes! That is a great album. I picked it up a few years ago and I think he did a great job on that album. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗

[@lucillechilds9767]

Great job Melinda for taking the time out of your busy day to do this for everyone! My favorite Jazz album is miles Davis kinda Blue one of the most relaxing albums I ever listen too. Oh one more thing you’re 100% right about picture disc if you want Fleetwood Mac Rumours get the 45rpm from Analogue production it’s the best sounding album by far!!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

There are definitely better versions of Rumors out there if you are wanting a playing copy. Kind of Blue is fantastic and one of the first jazz records I ever heard. It took a while for jazz to grow on me but I'm so glad it did. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗

[@elvisway1]

Thank you for sharing this news. As a collector of Beatles records and memorabilia I must have it! As usual I enjoyed this video and always look forward to seeing more!

Nice summary! I like that you get to preview some of the releases and share your thoughts to help buyers make informed decisions!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I'm very grateful for the opportunities this channel has given me. Thank you for the kind words. ❤️🤗

[@davidcarter3109]

Melinda, Thank you for this video. It’s a great watch.. Totally agree about Sun Ra, it takes some listening before you can honestly say hand on heart that you are a fan. I can honestly say that it’s not my scene Im afraid. Cannonball yes great fabulous. I have some of his albums. I enjoy Record Store Day. I just go for albums in the genres that I collect, ie Jazz, The Blues and Vintage Soul. Re The small Beatles collection. I have a CD collection of singles from The Rolling Stones. It’s a box of 12 CD’s, three of which are EP’s, It’s called The Singles 1963-1965. The box contains a booklet and a couple of postcard photos. It’s an enjoyable set. I’ve been on a bit of a spree of late. Attended a couple of Record Fairs in the last few weeks and have purchased 20 or so Albums, mostly Jazz and Blues. Think I will ease up now until RSD as the Credit Card has taken a bit of a battering lol. Thanks again for the Video. Take care Melinda. Regards. Dave

[@MelindaMurphy]

I understand. I have cut back on my spending right now as well. I hope to pick up a couple of titles but I probably won't buy as much as I did last year. Thank you and take care. ❤️❤️

[@robertwoodward9231]

From Coleman Hawkins to this day there are so many great sax players that it really boggs my mind. No one could possibly pick the best, imo. From Coleman Hawkins to now. For 30..40 minutes it's Eddie Davis then it's Stan Getz and on and on..

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree. There is so much talent. It's great to just enjoy them all. Thank you and take care.

[@analoguecity3454]

I 100% agree about "picture disc" , there pressed on flimsy plastic that will wear very quickly! Why? When you can buy a version that won't wear (if you play back correctly, with "light tracking" equipment!😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

Instead of picture discs, they should do a beautiful splattered vinyl. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.

[@blucomicguy8705]

Big fan so, really looking forward to both Cannonball Adderly releases. Great job as always, Melinda!

[@MelindaMurphy]

The Cannonball Adderley releases are very well done. ❤️ Thank you and have fun on RSD.

[@Thejazzfan66]

I agree with the poster who is a fan of Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, and Eddie Lockjaw Davis. That’s my kind of jazz!

[@MelindaMurphy]

They are all wonderful. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.

[@timjonesvideos]

Some interesting selections.. there's also the new Tony Martin era Black Sabbath box set, 'Anno Domini' available soon.. some melodramatic medieval lyrics at times, but if you like straight up tuneful hard rock like VH & Bon Jovi, you just might enjoy.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I did see that Black Sabbath box set. I'm still thinking about it. I know a lot of die hard fans are thrilled with that release. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗

[@charlesf2804]

I have never participated in a Record Store Day. Never been motivated to do so. Maybe one day that will change, but for now I can experience it vicariously through your channel.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Fair enough. 😀❤️ Unfortunately, I don't have a record store in my hometown so I don't get to enjoy it as much as I would like. Getting up in the middle of the night and driving an hour and a half to the nearest record store doesn't appeal to me and doesn't feel safe. Thank you and take care.

Hello Melinda! Nice suggestions. It’s interesting to hear your opinion on them. This year I have several albums to look for : Malfunkshun , 2 albums by The Hives , Mudhoney , Eric Carr and Ramones. I’ll better bring the big wallet. Just in case they’re all available. Take care/R (A at work)

[@tmdillon1969]

Well, I got the Poppin In Paris but missed the Burning in Bordeaux by 30 minutes. I'll keep an eye out for it on the secondary markets. I was happy to see that women outnumbered men in 2 of the 4 record stores I was in yesterday. It would be nice to see that much inclusion in the equipment areas of the hobby. It's a bit of a monoculture.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Poppin In Paris is my favorite of the jazz releases. I'm sure you will be able to find Burning. As of last night, I think I saw it available on Road Hall Books and Records website. It's great that women are getting into it. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

[@harrysmusicroom]

The Beatles 3" package is being very allocated. I asked Silver Platters (one of the largest stores in Seattle) and they said they're getting 6 of them, 2 per store. I'm hearing it's $179

[@MelindaMurphy]

That's not a bad price. The turntable is adorable. I think this Beatles turntable will be a hot item and bring out the crazy in certain people. Lol. Thank you and take care.

[@mikesgotthespins5894]

Another fun video, RSD is one of my favorite holidays, I enjoy being around all the vinyl collectors, young and old celebrating the love of music, it's awesome to see. I hear those Beatles 3"rs are hot this year, lucky stores will get two, $179 for the set, one change to the mini turntables, they are now blue tooth compatible, that will make them slightly more practical, but after buying The Doors set last year I totally agree with you, they are a novelty item only. Lastly Melinda, are you familiar with Kacey Musgraves? If not, I think she is an artist you might enjoy, she has a brand new album "Deeper Well" if you are not familiar with her I'll send you a copy if that's ok. Thanks for listening, Peace!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree. RSD is a lot of fun. I wish I had a participating store in my town. The Beatles turntables will sell fast. They are so cute and will look great on display. I'm not familiar with Kasey's music but I know who she is. You seem to know my musical tastes well so I probably would like her. I appreciate the gift but don't feel any obligation. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

[@lorenzohoyt5529]

Hey Melinda, love your choices! My ladyfriend wants the Beatles turntable set and I will hopefully be getting both Cannonball sets and the Chet Baker release. May also pick up Yusef also, would be my first. Fingerprints in Long Beach, Ca. is our local record record store and hopefully they will still have some available by the time we get there. Thanks again!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Best of luck to you and your lady on getting all of the releases you want. You can't go wrong with any of those choices. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗

[@SnakeNel]

Great video! I enjoyed the preview of the Elemental Music titles. I'm also stoked about the Chris Isaak. The Eric Carr album sounds like "Having Fun With Elvis on Stage". I'm looking forward most to the live Nat King Cole album, hope the sound is great. Also, excited about the live Talking Heads, the English Beat "Wha'happen", and the Bernie Worrell. Not sure about the Tom Verlaine collection, but I'm researching that.

[@TKRVideoCentral]

Cool as always, Melinda! I do all my RSD stuff by mail order - usually - but I may make an exception to make sure I can nab the vinyl release by Tinted Windows - one of the best power pop albums of the 21st century, by a band that included Taylor Hanson, James Iha, Bun E Carlos, and the late Adam Schlesinger - talk about star power! LOL! Also the vinyl issue of Dead By Sunrise - love love LOVE that album, can't wait to possibly own it on vinyl! Others I'm interested in too, but they won't upset me if I don't manage to nab them - Duncan Sheik and a few others. Agree on both your points about picture discs and the Beatles - you are right on all counts on both! Have a great week! - TC

Traveled to Rochester NY to get in totality. Socked in by clouds but we stopped in to The Record Archive and wow this place is overwhelming.

[@sharpdressedvan]

Cannonball Adderley...what a gem! From his work alongside Coltrane on Kind of Blue to his own group albums, there wasn't a more influential sax player back in the day. One of my favorite albums of his is 74 Miles Away, a live audience recording at Capitol Records has his brother Nate Adderley, Joe Zawinul of Weather Report, Roy McCurdy, and Victor Gaskin. First heard it back in the late 60's at a little bar in Tokyo (I was in the Navy) and it made a huge impression...

[@MelindaMurphy]

Cannonball Adderley was very special. His name should always be mentioned as one of the greatest. Kind of Blue is the true jazz classic. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Good luck on Sun Ra, I will leave that to you. Nice reviews. With the prices and overspending at the Denver record show I am going to limit myself to a few albums, or so I say. Gandolf would be pretty awesome to get

[@billphelps5611]

Greetings Melinda! I do want to pick up the Bowie and I am super stoked to get the Captain Beefheart The Spotlight Kid! They have released 2 other of his albums the last 2 record store days in double sets with killer bonus material that I love. Not everything sounds like Trout Mask! (but I love that too) I think the picture discs are cool for those that collect them but they are wall hangings, not to listen too. I have a mini record player that plays the 3' records and 4 records, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis. The sound quality is terrible but it is a novelty item and a cool conversation piece. I wouldn't mind picking up maybe a couple Beatles 3" records if sold separately. Great video and take care!

[@MelindaMurphy]

The mini record players are extremely cute. I understand the appeal. Those Beatles records will be quick sellers so I hope you can grab them along with all of the other titles you are wanting. Happy RSD! Thank you and take care., 🤗❤️

this woman is alway so charming. To see the genuine anguish flash across her face as she discussed a record that she considered a waste of effort , told me she was a genuine record collector . To see a woman's perspective in this typically male dominated area is always interesting Me, I have a lot of records that I started accumulating when records were a primary teen aged entertainment and music was more important culturally, but I haven't the collectors passion.

As a CD collector, rather than a record collector, it would be good if there was a CD store day too. Although there probably wouldn't be the profit in it, as they wouldn't be able to get away with charging £40-£60 for CD, like they can for an LP

While I appreciate trad, big band, and other older styles of jazz, It's Miles' '1965-mid 70's period, Coltrane and other "difficult" or slightly outre artists like Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Roland Kirk to name but a few that are where it's at for me. In a Silent Way might be my favourite by Miles overall, though I would have to have Nefertiti as well!

[@stevecowder4774]

Thanks Melinda for reminding me about Yusef. I’m always trying to expand my jazz collection. I can never get enough of that style of music, especially the Saxophone. Lately, I’ve been into a box set from Eddie Lockjaw Davis and Shirley Scott. A rare, vintage collaboration out of the late 50s / early 60s that I’ve found it to be very unique and highly addictive. Eddie was as extremely smooth on the Sax. Not sure if you’re familiar with them, but I think their music is a treasure to own. Oh, and I love the ‘ weird ‘ stuff you mentioned. Speaking of the Sax, have you heard of “ Tuxedomoon ? “ They’re as weird as it gets 😆.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I've heard of Lockjaw Davis and Shirley Scott but I don't have any of their records. I bet those box sets are wonderful. ❤️🤗 Yusef Lateef was a wonderful jazz artist. I enjoy his saxophone playing and the way he plays the flute. Thank you and take care.

Good to see a preview from you Melinda. Quite a few titles, I had to go back to my own picks video to see what I’d like, allready forgotten, but I’d like that Stockholm Doors one, the Super Furry Animals (hey, that’s Morten 😄 ) oh and there’s a Verve b-sides and a RSD Pearl Jam (new album) exclusive? More than enough to empty the ol’ pockets 🙄 Wish you a great RSD in whatever shape or form it arrives in your neck of the woods! Cheers from Morten. Love the Doors shirt 🤩

Definitely interested in the Bowie, but the album I really want is the Mono Birds the Bees and the Monkees, which an original is nearly impossible to find and if you do, costs in the $1000 range

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! I agree, that would be a cool record to buy. I can't believe the original mono pressing is so expensive. 😳 Thank you and take care.

[@louisbonilla6780]

The Amboy Dukes are a must-have crank up "Surrender To Your Kings" and do the Swirl (late 60s Hippie Dance-so fun) the Bowie release sounds like a must have as well - those Bsides are mostly out of print - I especially love "Velvet Goldmine" a Bowie epic that will probably sound phenomenal with new mastering - that set of 3" Beatles discs and turntable is for those die-hard collectors that have Beatle museums in their spare rooms - very cool but not really for your listening pleasure - Picture Discs never had good sound quality - I used to hang 'em on my wall especially British 12" Mixes for The Beatles, Marillion, Samantha Fox and Kate Bush - great video Melinda❤See you next week!

I have Abbey Road and Band on the Run picture discs from back in the day. 🤗❤️ I hope I am able to make it to a record store and get the Amboy Dukes and Bowie records. They are must haves for me.

Great video as always!! I’m going to try to get the Paramore stuff and the stones titles and the sponge title!! The sponge record I knew about a few days before the list was leaked because they are a Detroit band and the label putting it out I know the people who run it!! The label is sound city records and it’s an album that was shelved by the label in 1997 and is now seeing the day of light!! I found out at a gig where I was the guitar tech and the drummer that was playing with the band I was working for was Ted nugents last drummer Jason heartless!! The band I worked for was heavens wish a great rock band from Detroit and he was filling in for the drummer who had cancer and couldn’t do the gig!! We were talking about the analogue productions version of Ted nugents first record!! I asked Jason if he gave them the master tapes and he doesn’t own them Sony owns the first six nugent records and jason owns the rest of his catalog!! So I’m very partial to the sponge record!! If you ever find a sponge record pick it up one of the most underrated bands!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the suggestion. ❤️🤗 I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. Analog Productions did a fantastic job on this Ted Nugent album. I appreciate that you took the time to share your cool story. Take care.

[@PirateNovelist]

The biggest wants for Record Store Day are the two paramore releases. They are my favorite band. I always enjoy when they do release for Record store day. I have enough for another record on top of the two. Malfunkshun is my next want. If that’s not there it’s a first so it’s no biggie if it’s not there. I have some alts which includes the Sun Ra pink elephants release but I may actually grab that Sun ra release you showed. I also like that butterfly in the sky too. As for the 3” player, ever since I watched Tech Moan talk about them I’ve always wanted a player, but never pulled the trigger on them. I like the novelty of them!

[@MelindaMurphy]

If you love Sun Ra, this is a great performance and packaging. My daughter listened to a lot of Paramore when she was growing up so I know their music well. Best wishes to you. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

[@zekerivera7485]

Hi Melinda! Thanks for sharing your thoughts for RSD. Even though "The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars" is one of my favorite albums, I'm on the fence with the David Bowie release. I'm not a fan of buying something on vinyl if there's a lot of alternate takes, demos, and a couple of unreleased songs. I usually buy stuff like that on CD. As for what I'm buying. My top picks are In/Casino/Out from At the Drive-In, Penrose Records Showcase Vol.2, Mejor de Los Nuggetz: Garage and Psyche from Latin America, Thin Lizzy: Live At Hammersmith 16/11/1976, and America: Live from the Hollywood Bowl. P.S. I think the release from Pearl Jam is gonna bring out a lot people for RSD this year.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I completely understand your point. I love Ziggy Stardust but the amount of times I pull the unreleased songs version would be considerably less than how many times I will just want to play the album. I hope you are able to score everything you want. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️

That Beatles package actually came out for the last RSD "Black Friday". None of the participating RSD stores in my area got them and atleast one didn't know about it. The original 3" Crosley turntable came out a few years ago for RSD and included a mystery package of 3" singles. One pack included Jack White singles. Later, they also came out with a pack of singles from the "A Charlie Brown Christmas". I got the first issue TT w/ the Jack White singles. The original Beatles 3" TT showed up on eBay, as so many of the RSD stuff does, and was priced at something like $600.! The sound quality of the TT is what you might expect, listening through it's tiny speaker. When I played the 3" records on my regular manual turntable, I was surprised and impressed with their sound quality, plus they were stereo. The records themselves are one-sided and look like they are injection moulded, probably like the poly-styrene 45's of yore. The record player is 33 1/3rpm and can only play the special records. However, if by chance you have any of the AdCom Apple Records 3"? flexi-discs, they could probably be played on the Crosley 3" record player as they were also 33 1/3rpm. On a side note, in the late 60's to early 70's, Philco-Ford came out with the "Hip-Pocket" 45rpm 3"? 2-sided flexi records. They were all mono and could be played on almost any manual TT. Their sound quality was good. Electronics companies had already introduced the battery-operated record players which could play 7" and 12" records. Philco-Ford introduced a new "Hip-Pocket" record player, which was about the size of an 8-track cartridge, only a little thicker. If your pockets weren't big enough, the miniature record player had a wrist strap like a transistor radio. The big plus was that this record player could play 7" 45's also. I have a bunch of the "Hip-Pocket" records and the miniature Philco-Ford record player. I also have the first run of the Crosley 3" record player. It comes with the AT3600L magnetic cartridge, which has become a decent standard cartridge which is used commercially. Because the cartridge bodies are the same, you can upgrade the stylus to an ATN95E.

@@MelindaMurphy Those were the original RSD Beatles 3" Crosley record players on eBay. The basic Crosley 3" turntable can be purchased new from Amazon for $49.95. Before The Beatles RSD 3" Crosley record player, they had The Doors RSD 3" Crosley.

[@RUfromthe40s]

i remenber Chris Isack first Lp from a sister of a friend of mine ,the song that caught my attention was heart full of soul from yardbirds ,also a melancolic song , lie to me. There was a movie ,80´s style that a fake band and musician was killed and blue hotel was played in the movie like the bands sucess this filmed in a desert and 50´s era being showed at 80´s style ,but not a great movie, i don´t even remenber if i saw it all, i think this first album, had a great production ,because of others being filled with high´s and this sound especially good and a classic rock band as Blue Hotel was a hit at the time. Sun Ra was a speacially recorded sound at the time with his "Archestra" very "avant-gard"so to speak ,experimental jazz as Miles Davis in the early to late 70´s, if one had a good turntable with a good amplifier ,powerfull also good and huge speakers this was when played loud a really big trip as it was a time of not being sober for a long time, maybe one being happy all the time made one being more receptive to new ways of playing music at the time, also the Bird was never mentioned to have a substitute ,know one would dare to do so, i don´t know if already mentioned but my fathers kept albums came to me, only of what we call jazz and it´s variants are 7.000 lp´s i had not time to listen to them all and at least around a thousand extra i had them also but he had some very nice gems ,it even as a older type of vinil recording that he had a very old but well built turntable to hear those lp´s some were from my great grand father ,as an example Duke Ellington and no covers only plastic protected, i guess the original were made of paper and with the years they become destroyd as it happened with some of mine ,much more modern from the early 70´s , the label in the midle as the know dog with a victrola and saying "his master voice " or similar ,i can´t recall from memory all that i have listened in the last monthes ,also is dificult to me to touch is components as in hi-fi and also the records who i clearly remenber listening to them at home when a teenager since i was 7 he represent all that was Evil in my family´s life but after 40 years i talked to him again and in 5 years ,the last of his life we manage to talk maybe 7 times, this to not end up in a real fight, he was 92 but still very strong and died of a rotine exam done badly causing his death ,he suffured for 4 monthes before dying ,as it can happen to any age men in this type of medical exam if done badly. sorry for this unnecessary coment. Sun Ra is it a new edition ,i´ll look for it, the last two records i bought some years ago was a Sun Ra and fela kutti re-editions
