The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, it has certainly been sometime since I have written about anything on here and I figured since I should probably post or write about something! Recently, I’ve been watching a lot of the TV show, “ER” which features Paul McCrane for at least six seasons, and... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: It has been a looooong five or six months since I’ve last posted anything here, and I didn’t want all y’all to think that I’ve abandoned VAoT, so I decided I try to get some reviews in while I have the opportunity to sit down and actually...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “From his young age, Raymond Cayer was part of several groups and made known his talents of singer.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: This one comes from Paul Henry Dallaire of Timmins, a local(ish) musician and former funeral director.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Father Robert White, known for his ridiculously expensive record – “The Reverend in Rhythm” – also, released this little 45 right here.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Once again, back with more Bowie, why? Because Bowie is amazing.

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 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.

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.
