Jesse Coffey1 28th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Kinky Friedman - Sold American (1973)	79-year-old Kinky Friedman, who billed himself as "the last of the Jewish cowboys", faded into the sunset Wednesday night after battling Parkinson's disease.
Jesse Coffey1 27th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album David Soul - David Soul (1976)	Review Having 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. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Jesse Coffey1 3rd Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (2013)	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 Album Peter Lemongello - Do I Love You (1976)	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]
Jesse Coffey1 12th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Quincy Jones - The Italian Job (1969)	Was this a Record Store Day reissue or something? Because I don't recall UPC codes being put on the back covers of any album released on the Paramount label.
