Lots of childhood memories on this one. While I listened to a lot of these (on vinyl) when I was a kid, this is not that album. Side 1: Blowin’ in the wind, Too much of nothing, Lemon Tree, Stewball, 500 miles, I dig rock and roll music, If I had a hammer (The hammer…

From (reasonably) unknown origins, this wasn’t my thing at the time, but it’s mine now so it deserves digitizing as much as any other. Tracks: In the beginning/Shout at the devil, Looks that Kill, Bastard, Knock ’em Dead, Kid, Danger, Too Young to Fall In Love, Helter Skelter, Red Hot, Ten Seconds ‘Till Love, God…

From the mid-80s, when I was just starting my life-long love with classical music, this movie burst on the scene and I absolutely had to have the soundtrack. I still listen to it from time to time. Great stuff! Too many tracks for me to list here, but here’s a handy link Amadeus (film) –…

I remember purchasing this shortly after hearing “Uptown Girl” which blew me away because it was such a departure from what Billy Joel sounded like up to that point. This particular LP has some serious wear because it was on loan to the roller rink where I worked up until the time I left in…
