When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.


Over fifty years of buying music, I've bought scores of albums because of one track...only to find out that one track was the only one on the entire album that was listenable to me.

'Losalamitoslovesong'.... by Gene Harris on the 'Astralsignal' album is but one example.

..uh, Larry...it’s pretty obvious today you can select individual songs via streaming.

The original post is regarding albums we bought prior to the internet age with no way to audition the entire album before purchasing it.  Also, a lot of those albums purchased on vinyl were never released on cd or in any digital format.

Every location you name rings a bell. I saw Quentin Tarantino at the Bob's, one lunchtime. George Clooney, Julia Roberts, etc. etc.  In any case, I was fully ready for retirement when WB and my union mandated it.

I would say that I bought Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" album mainly for 1 song, but it's not even my favorite song on the album any more.  Now I like ... every ... single ... song.   More often than not, if you hear an album enough times, your experience and impression changes.
