The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “This stereo record cannot be played on old tin boxes no matter what they are fitted with. If you are in possession of such equipment please hand it into the nearest police station.” Personal Review: So, anyone who has ever seen ‘The Exorcist’ will immediately recognize the opening piano playing...

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: 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: This 45 came in a big box of records my landlord had given me. The A-Side is the theme from the Hockey team ‘Edmonton Oilers’, so therefore, the title is “The Edmonton Oilers Theme” – and well, it’s definitely a late 70’s – early 80’s sound. It’s... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I don’t really remember when I came to own this LP, I know it was during my first few months of collecting, and I know it was for the title track. The album opens with the track “Tonight” with Peter on lead vocals, and it seems to... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Sincerely dedicated to Darrell & Beverly Bledsoe. We determine the kind of music we listen to by the inward thoughts of the heat.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “ON JANUARY 18, 1956, A BLESSED EVENT HAPPENED IN THE HOME OF MR. AND MRS. JAMES (DINK) BENNETT. THAT WAS THE DAY THAT LITTLE REX BENNETT WAS BORN.

The Sleeve: The Gatefold: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Dave. French singer, and um, I really don’t know much about Dave or his career, I only bought the album for the dog on the cover swimming, ’cause it makes the cover cool. I wonder if he brought his dog to this concert? The concert... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “A Factory Records Product” Personal Review: So, Joy Division is simply one of the greatest post punk bands of all time, and Ian Curtis was one of the most talented song writers of the 1970’s. This is his masterpiece. The A-Side opens with the song “Disorder” and from the opening... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Given on the Lord’s Day October 19, 1970 to Peter Bianchi by The Holy Spirit” Personal Review: Just a random Gospel 45 from my collection from some family from NYC.
