I'm the oldest thing in my music collection.
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?

@mceljo Quite interesting both from a sonic and from a historical aspect. And, bonus, I recognizes parts of it as samples I had heard decades ago in tracks by the Orb. |
One of the weirder CDs I own is one called „Never alone again“ („Nie mehr allein“, it´s german), it consists of sounds and noises a person that lives with you would make. Tracks are called „Taking a Bath“ or „Coming home from grocery shopping“ and you hear exactly what you expect: Front door opening, footsteps, someone putting a carton on the table and unpacking stuff, putting some in the fridge, some in other places. The absolute highlight is probably „Sometimes everyone has to“ and it consists of all sounds a person makes when going to the bathroom, tinkling and all. It´s hilarious, sad and a bit creepy overall. I love it.
Available on amazon or discogs. @djspinner classic! |
Besides myself, A pretty good recording of the US Marine Band Marching music from the 50's that was my Dad's which I have temporarily misplaced but now going through all my albums so hope to find soon. He used to take his trumpet out once a year or so (played through college) & he would march around the Living room playing along w/ us 3 kids following behind. We all loved it! His system was also pretty good & how I got a taste for hifi: 2 Bozak B 302- A speakers which he built from kits (mismatched cabinetry & grill cloth because they were done first for mono then a 2nd one for stereo, Dynaco Stereo 70 (he built & modded), Dyna pre - amp, Fisher Tuner & an Elac Miracord turntable 770H turntable w/ a Shure V15 cartridge. He also rigged it up w/multiple other speakers around the house w/ their own volume controls all connected to a Dyna 50 watt mono amp : kitchen, basement workshop, parent's bathroom & even outside on our maple tree in the summer! Whole house system way before it's time!! He also built a bag for our lawnmower before they were available & a cover for our pool also before they were available. He was a one of a kind & growing up w/ him & my brothers in the 60's was a great time! |
