Not only the production - I find Mo Tucker's percussion pretty crude.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony

Musically I'm finding a lot to like here, but the production is rough as a badger's arse, with Femme Fatale particularly painful.
Even so, it's a good album to have.
Does yours have the banana on the cover that you can peel back? If it does, don't do it - it's not worth spoiling the cover just to see the pink banana underneath!

Yes it does, and it says above it "peel slowly and see". But I never do as I'm told, so it remains unmolested

Later issues of the LP only had the yellow banana printed on the cover, yet retained the "peel slowly and see" instruction. A cost-cutting exercise obviously - but I always thought Andy Warhol's cover idea pretty stupid.Yes it does, and it says above it "peel slowly and see". But I never do as I'm told, so it remains unmolested

Some odds and sods; I have been re-housing my LP collection and found a few LPs that had been misfiled. So -
Spyro Gyra – Catching The Sun
Label: MCA Records – MCA-5108
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Gloversville Pressing, Gatefold
Country: US
Released: 1980
Genre: Jazz
Style: Fusion, Jazz-Funk
Normally I don't like jazz-funk, so can only assume I must have picked this up for very little in a charity shop. This LP did nothing to change my mind - most of it sounds like 'library' music: the sort of stuff played in cinemas before the film starts, or if there are problems with a TV transmitter and the picture is lost!
Shame, as the musicians can play - but not what I like. Back to a charity shop for this one!
Tomita – 'Snowflakes Are Dancing (The Newest Sound Of Debussy)'
Label: RCA Red Seal – ARL1-0488
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, Upton Printing Group
Country: UK
Released: 1974
Genre: Electronic, Classical
Style: Modern Classical, Modern
This was filed in the Classical section of my LP collection, under "T" between Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi. It is a collection of Debussy tone poems as interpreted by Tomita, and it is typical annoying sythesiser 'noodling', reminiscent of the 'Switched on Bach' work of Walter/Wendy Carlos.
Instantly forgettable. Again probably picked it up cheap in a charity shop - and that is back where it's going!
John Williams – 'Changes / The Height Below'
Label: Cube Records – TOOFA 12/1, Cube Records – TOOFA 12/2
Series: Doubleback Series
Format: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Compilation, White Label
Country: UK
Released: 1977
Genre: Jazz, Rock, Folk, World, & Country
Style: Fusion, Neo-Classical, Classic Rock, Easy Listening
Filed under "W" in 'Pop & Rock', but since there is orchestral backing maybe it should re-filed as 'Classical'. Again picked up from a charity shop for next to nothing. Normally the descriptors: "Fusion; Neo-Classical; Classic Rock; Easy Listening" would have me running for the hills, but I have a lot of respect for John Williams's guitar playing, so I'm keeping this one under consideration for the time being.

When My lad moved in to his rental house for his second year at uni a month or so back, the first thing he did was go halfs on a turntable with one of the other lads and bought a couple of records.
A proud moment. I've now handed over a few duplicates I had, (Sensational Alex Harvey Band and Steve Harley) I hope the rest of the house enjoy....
