Tommy Dorsey takes me back to 1964. I brought the disc to remind me of the UK's first pirate radio station, Radio Caroline, whose first DJ, Simon Dee, used the iconic Sunny Side of the Street fog-horn- like intro for his programme.
You probably have, or had, Carol King's Tapestry and a disk or two by Paul Simon, with or without Art Garfunkel, from the early 1970s.
Most of the others are ones I purchased in the 1970s, likely in Colorado.
These covers are only a few of the collection which includes well-worn popular classical albums, We'll Keep a Welcome which we used at my father's funeral, and one of Gregorian Chant, both useful to calm the savage breast.
Thanks for this! Not only did I own several of these but I sold them working as a student in the family business in the 70's! No Beatles? Stones? Elvis?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. I had the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Simon & Garfunkle and the Garf alone, Emmerson Lake and Palmer, and almost everything by the Beach Boys and the Beatles.
ReplyDeleteI used to warn colleagues when we were doubling up to travel to conferences in the area, that I sing along to the Beach Boys when I traveled, so they had to agree to that if they came with me.
Interesting. Granddaughter's boyfriend has bougght a turntable and is appreciating vinyl. Cheers, BT
Gave my entire collection of LPs to my niece, who has amassed a vinyl collection of over 4,000 albums. I kept the 45s to record - of course I don't have anything to play them on anymore :). Patti M.
