sladesounds 5th Nov 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumBob Dylan - Bob Dylan (1980) | A semi-official (?) release on the Joker label. Tracks are wrongly identified or not in the correct order as per the actual playing order and the credits seem pretty much a wild guess in most cases.
The correct listing should be;
Side one:
California
Grasshoppers on my pillow
Baby please don't go
Man of constant sorrow
Only a hobo
Side two:
Candy man
I ain't got no home
The death of Emmet Till
Poor Lazarus
Farewell
Side three:
Stealin'
Hard times in New York town
Wade in the water
That's all right mama
New Orleans rag
Side four:
Baby let me follow you down
VD blues
Suze
All over you
Cocaine
Side five:
Sitting on a barbed wire fence
If you gotta go, go now
She belongs to me
Love - Zero / No limit
Dusty old fairgrounds
Side six:
Can you please crawl out your window
From a Buick 6
Lay down your weary tune
It's all over now, baby blue
It takes a lot to laugh

sladesounds 27th Oct 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumRonnie Laws - Pressure Sensitive (1975) | [YouTube Video]
Ronnie Laws has always been an R&B-oriented saxophonist miscast in the jazz world, starting with his early association with the rapidly declining Blue Note label. This début album has a couple of decent melodies (the opening "Always There" is the most memorable), some soulful tenor and soprano playing by the leader in a style heavily influenced by Grover Washington, Jr., and vocals on only one of the eight selections; Laws's attempts to make it as a singer were still in the future. However this obviously commercial effort (every song fades out before it hits the five-minute mark) can only be recommended in comparison to Ronnie Laws's later more inferior recordings.

sladesounds 21st Oct 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumMetallica - Kill 'Em All (1983) | Label gives composer credits as Metallica.

Original issue has beige labels (my scans), later pressings have red/yellow labels.

sladesounds 21st Oct 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumAlloy Orchestra - Man With The Movie Camera (Live At Third Man Records) (2014) | It was only a lucky few iNDie Festival attendees who witnessed Alloy Orchestra's performance of their soundtrack to the 1929 silent film "The Man with the Movie Camera" in the Blue Room.
Alloy Orchestra is a 3-man musical ensemble — Roger C. Miller, Ken Winokur, & Terry Donahue — who use "racks of junk," synthesizers, and all sorts of other unusual instruments, found objects, and unlikely noisemakers to aurally accompany silent films. Roger Ebert has called them "the best in the world at accompanying silent films."
"The Man with the Movie Camera," directed by Dziga Vertov and edited by his wife Elizaveta Svilova, is a documentary with no specific cast or narrative. In the film, a man carries out his day in the city as a member of the proud proletariat, capturing invention and the relationship between man and machine in Lenin's Soviet Union.
