Hauled this from a Goodwill while on a road trip. Got home and reviewed what I pulled. I have no ide

Some purchased based on cover alone LOL. I haven't listened to all of them yet, but a few are pretty good so far. BTW the Heidelberger cover is signed by Mr. Michael Pesamoska himself!

Good lord man - you found the holy grail! Heintje is a master piece.










Just kidding.

I thought THESE ARE MY MOUNTAINS was the masterpiece.

and I thought it was going to be a Jim Nabors collection.

Some good ‘60s easy-listening there. Wouldn’t mind hearing the Alexander Brothers - Scottish folk?

Much of that stuff gets overlooked at the Willies - people don’t know what it is. Never know what will turn up at a Willie though - recently found a near perfect copy of Fahey’s “The Voice of The Turtle”, a VG+ of Queen’s “A Night at The Opera”, several VG+ Cheap Trick and Journey albums - each for a buck to two bucks, depending on the Willie.
Just have to be there early in the day to get lucky. Of course, people recognize Jim Nabors - and still won’t buy it. He had a good voice though. The stuff I tend to avoid is invariably the Mitch Miller and Lawerence Welk. Don’t know why - I’m sure some of it’s good too.

Hah! A friend of mine used to tour with James Last on violin. She said they were a hoot - a bit of craziness mixed in with good ol' camaraderie.
I find his LPs in the local thrift shops, but I've yet to buy one. I cringe imagining what is on them.

If you like 70s-80s country, Sylvia had a couple minor hits that still play on the classic country stations. She wasn't bad to look at either.

 

[Ken Boyd]

Makes me feel better about leaving records like those. It should give me some Karma points for not hogging everything.

I picked up this James Last album this past summer. With a title like Voodoo-Party, How could I pass it up? It's a hoot, alright!

My GW recently got a collection of imports similar to that Heintje. Most are still there.

Gee, thought I was the only one. Maybe one day, when all the good albums are safe in the hoarders closets, all these will be bought up.

 

[KevinJS]

Wow. @HarmanKardon should see this. He absolutely adores Heintje. He’ll probably pay for a flight to Germany so you can deliver the LP safely to him.

Pass on the Lawrence Welk, but pick up on the Burl Ives.

Funny thing is there were two other Heintje albums that I had to pass on cuz they were thrashed. Due to over-use, obvi.

 

[MisterDK]

Oh yeah - I do like Burl Ives - got around a dozen already. Need the Disney one with Hayley Mills though - I’ll find it yet.

 

[hempdiddy]

I haven't gotten through them yet, but James Last's "Well Kept Secret" Side A is fully legit. Groovy, Man.

 

[gary7]

So...I stopped at my GW awhile ago today. Had to buy it.

A couple of years ago, I found an interesting looking album at Goodwill. Had never heard of it, but the concept intrigued me in an odd way:

Cleaned it off, cued it up, and it was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be:

All the Willies get are mostly commons . But I have one or two Larrys ‘ and he’s actually pretty good . Just because there were old people cavorting on the show doesn’t auto disqualify it .

Mitch’s gang singers could really carry a song if you ask me .

Now watch me get flamed .
