Shahin & Sepehr - October Moon

The album version is just too long at 5 minutes plus. This radio version was better received, and is my favorite instrumental in a long while. Play it here and download it with a right-click if you like.

Brigadoon - 1968 - Television

Robert Goulet is in fine form with Sally Ann Howes, Marlyn Mason, Tommy Carlisle, and Peter Falk who doesn't threaten to sing a note. The Broadway show has more tunes than this family-safe presentation. Some crackle on the record. Link in comments.

Wayne King - Dance Date

Wayne and his orchestra deliver twelve dance tunes from 1962 or so. I like this thing and the vinyl was in great shape. The album art is included so pull up the album art, launch the mp3, and enjoy an evening of Wayne King, Wayne King, and more Wayne King.

The Gunter Kallmann Chorus - With All My Heart

1967. Gunter has an orchestra, bells, and 6 vocalists performing Chanson D'Amour, Misty Blue, Tiny Bubbles, Love Me With All Your Heart, and more. I like the harmony and the arrangements but notice that I can't listen to the album all the way through. MusicStack.Com wants $65 for this but I would never treat you that way. Very clean vinyl.

How Time Flies - Firesign Theatre

David Ossman made this album happen 40 years ago. The rest of Firesign Theatre participated along with Wolfman Jack, Harry Shearer, Penny Nichols, and others. This might be the least accessible effort from the franchise. I liked it after several listens. Link in comments.

This is 90 minutes of extremely clean vinyl that deserves 192kbps.

Alfred HItchcock - Ghost Stories for Young People

1961. Hitchcock introduces each story. I enjoy this sort of thing and hope you will too, even with the books that have been written about his abuse of actresses. Link in comments.

Dinosaurs!

Basil Rathbone in a dramatic version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. Perhaps the movie Jurassic Park bested this 1966 vinyl. Link in comments.

Who is that scout?

With his first and last appearance in season 5, it is Sailor Copier-Guy.
