What's the oddest thing in your music collection?


For me, it's a CD titled "Kashmir: The Symphonic Led Zeppelin".

Yes, it's Led Zeppelin songs played by The London Philharmonic Orchestra.

It's actually quite interesting, to me anyways. For a review and sampling the music, see:

So, what's the oddballs in your collections?

@dekay : is it Tony Schwartz 1, 2, 3 And A Zing Zing Zing- 

Demme was a neighbor when I lived near Nyack. Very nice guy. We used to bump into him at the local sushi bar and never talked about his films, just stuff about the 'hood. Sorry he's gone.

I have quite a few "weird" records, from those atomic era Batchelor pad records like the RCA posted above (most of which I got rid of to make space, ahem) to rare groove jazz that had black islam overtones and labeling- many on private label that were released at the end of the '60s into the '70s. I did a big purge before I moved from NY to Texas, so a lot (12,000) records got offloaded including old test records, some field recordings and a lot of the novelty stuff, e.g. Music for Non-thinkers, along with lesser pressings and duplicates. The stuff I kept is musically interesting to me, despite bizarre covers or titles. 

I have one (on CD, not sure it was released on LP) of a guy playing a shofar but I think he is sporting a third eye. There's a whole body of this stuff, a genre. some of it is pretty out there!
