Vinyl - Record Spinning


Full Range

Recommended Posts

This band from the 70s shares the same name with a different more famous classical /  rock / jazz band that formed later by classical guitarist John Williams 

 

This three piece band from Detroit only released 2 albums 

However the drummer left shortly after the first album and was replaced 

 

The bass / vocalist later went on to form the famous band The Knack 

 

The album I am spinning is the debut album and is very listenable, presented in a pop / rock genre but not mushy 

 

Artist - Sky 

Title - Don’t Hold Back 

US pressing - Released 1970

Cat # LSP4457

Contrary to what the uninformed fella in another thread thinks (bangs-head smiley), I won't waste time there.

Records reproduce better sound than cds unless they're scratched up & abused or played on a sub-par rig. Not bad for `73...

Its also proven that the full sound spectrum is recorded on an LP and stops short on CDs 

Think I posted a video sometime back with the tests

Now spinning something different from a UK band that existed from 1969 to 1971 

A cool melding of brass jazz fussion / prog rock offering that is very enjoyable in its uniqueness on this well put together album 

 

Artist - Swegas 

Title - Child Of Light 

 

French release 1971

Cat # C06492507

Now it’s time to spring into some jazz fusion 

@Tigerman would enjoy this Cuban infused prog / jazz fusion sound 

 

This album is the only album this artist has released under his own name but has participated over 100 recordings with other artists 

 

A highly regarded percussionist - and this primarily instrumental release is simply amazing from start to finish 

I am very lucky to have this album in my collection 

The back cover describes the genre as ( see photo ) 

 

Artist - Mingo Lewis

Title - Flight Never Ending

Problem is they don’t make Donuts as good as they used to 

Recipes have changed over time 

Yep it's sad to me, I used to make triple layer sandwiches, multiple meats, cheeses, some Italian dressing half a salad on it.

Bread isn't bread anymore, it's awful. 

Have to make cornbread with bacon grease to get the texture right, fatback makes it too salty. We would like to have it without the bacon flavor again but alas.... no crappy cornbread allowed in this southern home!

Lays potato chips "Can't Eat Even One"

"They" removed all the saturated fat from Crisco...... all baked goods are history.. texture, flakiness...blah! 

Waking up hurtin' makes me a grouch. More coffee, 14 oz first cup didn't touch it today.

 

Music makes it easy to set that aside.

 

Especially from a quasi ZZ type band!!

 

@WillyBob That Cactus is fun times tunes!!

Crisco is fake lard.   Same as margarine to butter.  Just use lard.

and it is better for you than crisco

 

Happy to start yer day right.

 

I get up hurting. I know I'm still alive.  Some days, I feel so alive that I can barely move.

Thanks man, and yea I've bookmarked that band already. Three dudes in the dark raincoats made me think of Billy, Dusty and Frank before I pressed play!

Started getting a list of music on the pc recently, it's cheaper than records and discs!!

The unhealthiness (dietary fat or cholesterol content?) of lard was why we used Crisco back in the day. Plus we do not fry that much anymore just chicken, squash, okra. So buying that huge three gallon tub of lard at the grocery stores that carry it doesn't make sense for us.
