Vinyl only spin list

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Pictures At An Exhibition
(1971, Cotillion)

inspired by Klownschool, wish I had a copy on the Island label. The unmistakeable keyboards and solid bass here, and just really gets rolling. Sounds great for a live recording.
 
Spinnin' me some Creedence tonight...up now:

"Bayou Country" Nicely-cut Fantasy reissue from 1978. Brings back crackin' the shrink on the original 40-odd years ago.:cool:
 
"Cosmo's Factory" German pressing I got at a garage sale some time ago. There were a bunch of German pressings in the batch..."Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" & other goodies. From the selection, methinks the original owner was stationed in Deutschland at one time.
 
Swamp Cats - s/t.

This is an album put out in 1980 by a band that a couple of my friends were in when they were in college and shortly thereafter, while living in NC/TN. Their sound was an eclectic mix of traditional old-timey music with Hawaiian, dixieland, and old jazz thrown in. This record is pretty much all acoustic string instruments (and harmonica), later they added some horns too (cornet and clarinet, IIRC).
 
Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - Gorilla
(1968, Imperial/Liberty) w/o booklet

and now for something completely different; includes "Death Cab For Cutie" on side 1 which they also performed on the Magical Mystery Tour film at Paul McCartney's request, according to Wikipedia; crazy, interesting and it's growing on me with each listen; I recently picked up the early 70's Greatest Hits release.
 
Pat Williams - Shades Of Today
(1968, Verve)

Easy swingin' jazz/pop/big band, nice production sounds like a Bacharach record (and "The Look Of Love" is here), cool valley of the dolls cover. Some nice covers including a couple of McCartneys - Eleanor Rigby and World Without Love.
 
Milton Nascimento - Milton
(1976, A&M) Monarch symbol in the deadwax

w/ Airto, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter; Nice Brazilian and straight-ahead jazz here with some amazing vocals from Nascimento.
 
Emmylou Harris - Pieces Of The Sky.

Just noticed we are on page 1971 of this thread. I think I might try to include some records from years that match the page number for the next little while just for grins.
