The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “This stereo record cannot be played on old tin boxes no matter what they are fitted with.

Personal Review: So these guys, Brandy ‘N’ Port are local to me, and I got it for a lot of reasons, one I like celtic music, two, they’re local and three I like their outfits on the back cover.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Because of the end-time turmoil, the Dave E. Laughlin Family have chosen as their title song, “HERE’S A SONG FOR THE MAN WHO WALKED THE WATERS AND CALMED THE SEA.” Matthew 8:26 says, “… THEN HE AROSE, AND REBUKED THE WINDS AND THE SEA; AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM.”...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Long before Kylie Minogue hit American charts with such songs as “Can’t Get You Outta My Head”, she recorded this little single at the age of 21, and well… I thought she was like 14 on the cover. Anyway. The A Side is the track “Wouldn’t Change A... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Moi, je crois qu’on peut être à la fois bon Québécois et bon Canadien, et je me battrai jusqu’au bout contre ceux qui voudraient m’empêcher d’être l’un et l’autre.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Danny Deardorff is one of the greatest folk singers out there, and here he is with his partner from the LP “Deardorff & Joseph”, Marcus Joseph singing one of my favorite songs, “Sentimental Lady“. The song opens just like the original, same musical piece and instruments, and... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Gene MacLellan is rolling down Highway 401. Alone. He is returning from one of his eating-money legion hall dates in a forgotten northern Ontario town; a stand by guitarist with a country group that never did have a name. It is 2 a.m. when he dozes of, careens to the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, João was (is) a Portuguese man, living in Montreal, QC and was working entertainment at a restaurant there. He released this single. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pic sleeve. The A-Side is “Sara” and it’s done on an accordion, and João’s vocals are actually really, really good, the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, originally when I was given this LP, I was under the impression I had no idea who this band was, or any of their work.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: To me, this is Sheena Easton’s greatest song ever. The A-Side is the vocal version, and well, it’s pretty great. The piano playing, her vocals, everything about this song is absolutely fantastic, you would never even believe that this is the theme from a James Bond movie,... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I like Traci Lords as an actress, I’m sure she’s a very nice person too. But that album cover… why is she surrounded by anal beads? So, the album opens with the “Perfecto Mix” and it starts off alright, nothing overly bassy or techno sounding, but hey,... Read More »
