Post #1480 Explanation

This may take me a while as I've purchased/brought in quite a bit recently. After seriously reigning myself in for almost the entire year (2023), I just kinda let loose my addiction. Obviously, I listen to and appreciate a wide variety of music.

Doris Day - Day By Night

Worse for wear, however, this is the red lettering on white label 6-eye promo; much of it's wonderful sonics still comes through. It will hit the UC and then the more appropriate spinner, likely digitized to 24/192.

The Beatles - Rubber Soul

Original UK Parlophone found at thrift with no cover. "Drive My Car" first song on first side. This threw me. I don't really study the history of pressings and such. I know now that there were different versions; my reissue pressing does not contain the aforementioned song.

Small Faces

Immediate pink label self-titled album also found with no cover at a thrift.

Patty Page - On Stage
Buck Owens - I've Got A Tiger By The Tail
Ry Cooder - The Long Riders
Roy Clark - The Entertainer
Hank Ballard and the Midnighters - Their Greatest Hits black King label
Harry Belafonte - Streets I Have Walked

All thrift finds

Metro with WDR Big Band Cologne - Big Band Boom

Purchased new

...more later

A 30 CD box set of Glenn Gould’s complete Bach recordings for Columbia Masterworks.
The marketing department gets an "A" on this one.
