Glen Goza – “Heaven Needed A Champion / David and the Poet”

Glen Goza – “Heaven Needed A Champion / David and the Poet”Anyone who had watched the WCCW or NWA in the early 80’s knows the name Von Erich, if not for David, then for at least one of the other brothers, Kerry, Kevin, Mike or Chris – or their father Fritz. They’re a wrestling family dynasty with a tragic history, as after David passed away in... Read More »

Pee-Wee Herman / Surf Punks – “Surfin’ Bird / My Beach”

Pee-Wee Herman / Surf Punks – “Surfin’ Bird / My Beach” Unfortunately, on July 30th the world lost an absolute icon. Paul Reubens, who was widely known as “Pee-Wee Herman” passed away after a brave, six year battle with cancer. Naturally, he’ll be remembered as Pee-Wee, but he was so much more than just one character, he was a talented actor who featured in such movies like... Read More »

Paul McCrane – “Is It Okay If I Call You Mine? / Dogs in the Yard”

Paul McCrane – “Is It Okay If I Call You Mine? /  Dogs in the Yard”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 »

Coyote ‎– “Hold On! I’m Coming / In the Midnight Hour”

Coyote ‎– “Hold On! I’m Coming / In the Midnight Hour”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...

Raymond Cayer – “When Love Is On My Mind”

Raymond Cayer – “When Love Is On My Mind”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes:  “From his young age, Raymond Cayer was part of several groups and made known his talents of singer. For several years he sang at the St. Paul Church in Aylmer, his hometown, and subsequently performed alone or with the Renaissance group in almost all the cabarets in the region.  Today,...

Paul Henry Dallaire ‎– “Princess Maggie Of The North / Goin Back To Moosonee”

Paul Henry Dallaire ‎– “Princess Maggie Of The North / Goin Back To Moosonee”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 A-Side is “Princess Maggie of the North” and it opens a bit weird with some light drumming and some inaudible spoken word part, Paul Henry begins to sing as...

Father Robert White ‎– “A Heart That Understands / What Might Have Been”

Father Robert White ‎– “A Heart That Understands / What Might Have Been”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. Who woulda thunk?  The A-Side is “A Heart That Understands” – and it’s you basic pop / vocal standard with the backing vocals, and... Read More »

Ronnie Dee & The Brothers III ‎– “Jody / Last Night I Dreamed”

Ronnie Dee & The Brothers III ‎– “Jody / Last Night I Dreamed”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes:  “After 22 years in the music business, Ronnie Dee truly qualifies as a show business veteran. In every performance his voice is unmistakably clear and strong. His repertoire and appeal spans all generations and his following grows with every performance.  But the best words to describe Ronnie Dee’s talents are... Read More »

David Bowie – “Space Oddity / Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud”

David Bowie – “Space Oddity / Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review:  Once again, back with more Bowie, why? Because Bowie is amazing. This is the 40th Anniversary picture disc of ‘Space Oddity‘ – though I’m sure you knew that by the title and image, also, the B-Side is “The Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud” but the picture disc...

Danny Deardorff & Marcus Joseph – “Sentimental Lady / Sentimental Lady”

Danny Deardorff & Marcus Joseph – “Sentimental Lady / Sentimental Lady”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...

João Teixeira – “Sara / Adeus Meu Lindo Amor”

João Teixeira – “Sara / Adeus Meu Lindo Amor”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 »

Sheena Easton – “For Your Eyes Only / For Your Eyes Only (Instrumental)”

Sheena Easton – “For Your Eyes Only / For Your Eyes Only (Instrumental)”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 »

Claude Scott – “The Edmonton Oilers Theme Song / The Color of Fire”

Claude Scott – “The Edmonton Oilers Theme Song / The Color of Fire”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 »
