Salutations™!!
First off, let me wish all of you (all of the Dear Readers) out there a very happy new year from The BCPF, 3B and me. I had a great 2017. It was hard, and there is more to come of that, but for the most part, it was a good year. We had some political mess, some job mess, uncertainty and overall scary things, but we had a decent year, all things considered.
One constant this year has been Underdog Records. We went there just about every Saturday of the year and even some off-days. We love it in there. Our collection is growing and not what football season is coming to a close, we can get back to listening to records, not only on Saturdays (and a few during the week) but on Sundays, too. That and open houses. I miss that. Anywhat! Here is the haul for this week:
- Public Enemy – It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (#48 on the RS List – the highest hip-hop/rap album on that list; lenticular cover; new)
- The Shins – Chutes Too Narrow (new)
- Various – Stand By Me (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (my second favorite film of all time, I wore out the cassette and the CD; VG++)
- Sil Austin – Plays Pretty For The People Again (VG+)
- Hank Williams – 24 Of Hank Williams’ Greatest Hits (2xLP; VG+)
- Various – Woodwind Music (The BCPF really gets into her classical; NM)
- Ogden Nash – Christmas With Ogden Nash (VG+)
- Tchaikovsky, Borodine, Moussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, H. Hollreiser, Wiener Symphoniker – Chor Der Weiner Staatsoper – Tchaikovsky ∙ Borodine ∙ Moussorgsky ∙ Rimsky-Korsakov (VG+)
- Various – Vision Quest (Original Motion Picture Sound Track) ($1 bin find; VG)
- Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan – Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan ($1 bin find; VG)
- The Kingston Trio – Make Way! ($1 bin find; G+)
- Schubert, The Festival Quartet & Stuart Sankey – “Trout” Quintet, D.667 ($1 bin find; VG)
- Carpenters – The Singles 1969-1973 ($1 bin find; VG)
Underdog Records may or may not open on Tuesday. Call or check their social media channels to get the skinny. Watch their social media on Facebook and Instagram anyway because they always have specials going on. We also use Discogs to keep track of what our collection looks like.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
