Don’t play too much Wagner, but have a desire today. Not wanting to spin a full box of one of the opera sets I have, deciding on this instead:
The Cleveland Orchestra

The Serendipity Singers-We Belong Together(PHS 600-180) Side 2 Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti-Side 2 Phoebe Snow-Something Real Side 1+2 SQ Audiophile Rosemary Clooney-Sings Cole Porter(CJ 185) Side 2 SQ* Rory Gallagher-Against The Grain Side 1 Tedd Joselson/Eugene Ormandy(ARL1-0751) Side B SQ Audiophile Lew Tabackin/Wayne Marsh-Tenor Gladness Side 2 SQ Audiophile Jennifer Holiday-Say You Love Me Side 2 SQ* With the Serendipity Singers I’m digging into about 40 M- 1960’s thrift store finds that will be played before years end. Plenty of Tijuana Brass/New Christy Minstrels to look forward to(lol) SQ* George Horn and Bernie Grundman rarely miss. Gallagher easily a Top 5 "Guitar God" of the 1970’s deserves more attention. Something Real(1989) is one of the most overlooked recordings of the 1980’s, played the entire album. My SQ champ is Tenor Gladness even with a slightly aggressive/forward edge. |
@bslon: Yes! Moon Martin was (is?) fantastic! His run of four albums on Capitol Records are just great---the marriage of Rock ’n’ Roll, classic Brill Building songwriting, and Power Pop production. His first was produced by Craig Leon (Blondie, The Ramones, Talking Heads), with Phil Seymour of The Dwight Twilley Band playing drums. He and his 3-pc. band were also great live; I saw them open for Rockpile in 1980. Around that time my ex-wife was running his fan club. Before he started his solo career, Moon had been in a band named Southwind (two albums on Blue Thumb Records). Southern Rock, basically. Just a coupla days ago I was looking through the bins of newly received used LP’s at Music Millennium, and came upon a 1977 A & M Records solo album by Michele Phillips of The Mamas & Papas. I saw the album title---Victim Of Romance, and thought "Hey, that’s a Moon Martin song." I slid out the inner sleeve, and there was Moon, pictured with all the other people involved in the making of the album (Moon plays guitar and sings background vocals), including the album’s producer Jack Nitzsche (Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, Crazy Horse, Phil Spector, The Stones, Graham Parker, Willy Deville---who covered Moon’s "Cadillac Walk" in a great version, the soundtrack to One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest). There are two other Moon songs on the album, so keep an eye out for a copy. Mine’s in NM condition, cost me five bucks. |
i hadn't listened to moon martin for a long while, so i cranked up his greatest hits last night. reminds me a lot of steve miller--sorta generic, w/throwaway lyrics, but a knack for the big pop hook--a lot of these songs stay embedded in your cranium. current faves: myracle brah, can you feel the myracle brah--not a paragon of depth or vision, but the guy is a melodic savant the church, a box of bees (their cover of the monkees' "porpoise song" is great) neil young, psychedelic pill--i always like his noisy, jammy stuff, of which there's plenty here. |
@curiousjim A friend had mentioned hearing “Rolene” on the radio the other day and prompted me to play some Moon Martin…like @loomisjohnson, I hadn’t played his music in like, forever. I don’t know why, as @bdp24 said, it’s “fantastic”. |

Toni Tennille-Do It Again Side 1 SQ Audiophile David Lee Roth-Eat 'Em And Smile Side 2 Anita Baker-Rapture Side 2 Billy Idol-Rebel Yell Side 3 Basia-Time And Tide Side 2 SQ* The Fabulous Thunderbirds-Tuff Enough Side 1 Reba McEntire-Greatest Hits Side 1 Gary Moore-Victims Of The Future(Japanese pressing VIL-6083) Side 1 Yes, it was 80's night. Ignore the masses "Do It Again" is the equal of Ronstadt's 3 Nelson Riddle recordings. Had to play 2 80's guitar gods Vai/Moore! The Japanese pressing was fair with SQ. Rapture is a great recording that defies genre. I wish Ms. Baker would have added 1 jazz(vocal) standard on the recording. SQ* just missed Audiophile SQ status otherwise a great sophisticated pop recording. |
