Jesse Coffey1 29th Jul 2024 | | DVDMrs. Doubtfire - 20th Century Fox | This is the disc on which my mom and I saw this film for the first time, and it was great! There was only ever one Robin Williams and this, one of his most famous films, proves it.

Jesse Coffey1 27th Jan 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDavid Soul - David Soul | ReviewHaving played this album—and this particular release of it—I must note that I found the record to be a real surprise. Although the album contains Starksy & Hutch actor's only hit ("Don't Give Up on Us"), it doesn't make much use of the AM radio-style adult contemporary sound that the hit had. Most of it is instead geared toward other styles of music, such as Cat Stevens-style folk rock, blues of the Bessie Smith variety and even a touch of Dixieland. He does it all so well, you somehow wonder how David Soul got to be known, musically, as just a soft-rock one hit wonder when he sounded capable of being so much more than that.

Jesse Coffey1 3rd Dec 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumDaft Punk - Random Access Memories | The fact that Daft Punk used the old 1970-91 "Columbia, Columbia" labels (as Pink Floyd Archives put it) and similar label formatting for their album makes it an interesting collectable.

Jesse Coffey1 8th May 2023 | | Vinyl AlbumPeter Lemongello - Do I Love You | I listened to the linked track on the record and could not detect any of the Beach Boys' members in the background couldn't even find Brian Wilson in the background.
I looked in detail at the back cover image seen and saw that the background vocalists listed were Nigel Olsson, Dee Murray, Tom Bahler, Jim Haas, Linda Carey Dillard and Laura Creamer. NONE of them were members of the Beach Boys, which is the first thing disproves the Lemongello family statement that they played on this album's sessions.
The second thing that disproves that statement is a clip I found of a live performance given that year by the Beach Boys of their 1965 hit "Good Vibrations". They had tenor-to-baritone harmonies, whereas the background singers listed had soprano-to-tenor harmonies. [YouTube Video]
