I LOVE this thread!  You guys have posted artists I've never heard of and have found some great albums!!

"City Of Vampires" reminds me of a cross between Jimmy Buffett & Warren Zevon.  Cool song...

Sara K.-"Water Falls"

@bslon...I've never heard of Terry Allen And The Panhandle Mystery Band.  The band name, album title & jacket cover got me very intrigued.  I did some research and found that Shannon McNally sings on this album.  I really like her and have several of her albums, so up next:

@mofimadness    +1   Alannah Myles! Despite "Black Velvet" being the standout song on the album the rest of the tracks make for a 5* recording. FWIW another great recording from 1989!

@noromance...your comments about the Green Linnet label got me thinking.  I knew I had heard of that label before and had some albums.  I got to digging and sure enough I found a few that I had forgotten about...thanks!

Lui Collins-"Made In New England"

Green Linnet 

Lucinda Williams-"Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road"

US, Lu's Jukebox In Studio Concert Series

 

Jeri Southern – Jeri Gently Jumps (Decca 1957 mono)

Sue Raney (Raelene Claire Claussen) – When Your Lover Has Gone (Capitol 1958)

Sibylle Baier – Colour Green (Orange Twin 2006, RE 2010)

The songs were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973. Some thirty years later her son compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents. 

Rosalie Sorrels – Miscellaneous Abstract Record No. 1 (Green Linnet 1982)

Interesting note on Green Linnet records. The label was founded by folkster Patrick Sky. He fell in love with trad Irish music after his Greenwich Village stint. A linnet is a red-breasted song bird. However, in the Irish rebel song tradition, the name "Green Linnet" was the code name for Napoleon Bonaparte who they hoped would break the chains of British rule.

Lucinda Williams-"Runnin' Down A Dream"  (A Tribute To Tom Petty)

US, 2LP, Lu's Jukebox In Studio Concert Series

All albums were played last night. I added another 2 albums making for 10 recordings which were all original Stereo pressings. Thought I played a solid mix of some obvious and some overlooked 1960’s recordings. Brasil '66 easily takes the SQ crown! Getting towards the end of playing ALL my vinyl records. Roselli and Brasil ’66 were unplayed leaving about 2% remaining of this 5 year project.
