Dangers of hosting a multi-family garage saleβ€”you pick up stuff πŸ˜…

Had this one back in the day and totally forgot how flat the music on the album was. I guess they had to compress the life out of it to squeeze 22 Original Hits - Original Stars onto a single LP.

A bit scratchy, clicky, and poppy. #RiceKrispies but given its age, fun. Also a good test for the refreshed #turntable

A colorful 1973 K-tel compilation LP titled Sound Explosion: 22 Original Hits Original Stars is playing on a black turntable. The album cover is propped vertically behind the turntable, displaying its iconic rainbow burst design. A Sharp , R2-D2 figurine, and Hawaiian hula dancer sit on a shelf above. Below the turntable are record cleaning supplies.

Spent the day running errands, but managed to squirrel a little time at the charity shop browsing the records. Almost walked out with a Gaby Haas and the Chuck wagon Gang as it has local cachΓ©, but passed as I don't really enjoy accordion music.

Did pick up this classic though. Mono 1962 release of The Ventures play Telstar, The Lonely Bull. It needs a bit of a clean so it'll be a while before I play it, so queuing it up on the web will have to do for now.

Karla DeVito – Is This A Cool World Or What?
Epic – FE 37014
Vinyl, LP, Album
Canada
Sep 1981
Rock, Pop
AOR, Soft Rock

I forgot how punchy this album is off the top -- the title cut rocks! One of my record fair re-acquisitions.

On then to the 3rd cut - Heaven Can Wait -- yes, a good cover of the Meat Loaf tune from Bat Out of Hell. Makes sense, as Karla was on the album tour. And she appeared in the Paradise by the Dashboard Light video (but lip-synched to Ellen Foley's original album vocals).

But wait, there's more... my favorite cut is Bloody Bess -- penned by DeVito -- and perhaps a nod to her time on Broadway as Mabel, the female lead in The Pirates of Penzance (my favorite G&S). A rollicking pirate-themed tune that could have been the basis for a rock opera?

Yeah, it's an entertaining album, especially when you have all the background.

Chris de Burgh – Spanish Train And Other Stories
1975
A&M Records – SP 69935
Vinyl, LP, Album
Canada
Rock, Art Rock, Prog Rock

First spin on Friday morning -- another of the #YEGRecordFair acquisitions (and a replacement from my days of the great purge).

It's more dynamic than I remember; could barely make out the opening of _Spanish Train_ as my room is a tad bit 'noisy.'

Will have to give it a relisten with headphones. A personal favourite that I've missed having on vinyl.
