Jingle Hells Bells

More fun thanks to Bob Rivers.

Stingrays - Don't Fear The Reverb - 2000

The tunes Pipeline, Nitro, and Don't Fear The Reverb are especially nice. Link in comments.

The Rolling Stones At The BBC

Here is a video collecton of Rolling Stones appearances on BBC television in which they do START ME UP, GET OFF MY CLOUD, GIMME SHELTER, MISS YOU, ANGIE, and five more tunes. Highlights include the blond guy who replaced Brian, Keith's missing front tooth, and the room full of suds. About 178MB. Link in comments.

Pride And Prejudice Soundtrack - 1995

This was the best-ever adaptation of Jane Austin and has music by the very busy Carl Davis. CANON COLLINS should make you smile. Link in comments.

Beatles Christmas Records - 1963 - 1969

The Beatles did seven of these and that was that. They are fun. Link in comments.

Monty Python - Christmas in Heaven

The finale to the Monty Python film THE MEANING OF LIFE. A high-quality video is yours in the comments.

Star Wars Christmas Special - Ending

You will enjoy these 5 minutes from the entertainment much more than the 2 full hours. A high-quality video is yours for the taking in the comments.

30 Years of Ducks Breath - Part 2

Two of the Ducks introduce sketches SUPERHERO TALK SHOW, THE DANGERS OF PREMARITAL SEX, and lots more.

The Abbey Road Story - 1997

A one-hour documentary about the facility with remarks by Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, Alan Parsons, George Martin, and others, and with historical footage of big bands, classical orchestras, The Hollies, and more.

Kismet - Original Broadway Cast - 1954

Our own Alfred Drake starred in this stage production for adult audiences. The Kismet film that followed was sanitized by Louis B. Mayer and Samuel Goldwyn.

Dimension X - 1950

A Sci-Fi radio show with a different story each week from authors like Vance, Simak, Heinlein and even L. Ron Hubbard. Collect all 50.

Bob Rivers - More Twisted Christmas - 1997

Here are familiar Christmas songs with funny new lyrics and arrangements. The vocals are lush thanks to multitracking and resemble The Carpenters. I think you will like.

The Stingrays

This is not the Sixties Surf group but a short-lived one circa 2000. Press play.

The Compleat Beatles - 1982

This 2-hour video documentary contains newsreel footage and interviews with the Fab Four, George Martin, Tony Sheridan, and many others.

Metal Christmas - 1996

I admire the Metal sound and musicianship and singing but still get these Spinal Tap moments. Good luck. Link in comments.

X MINUS ONE - 1955 to 1958

X MINUS ONE was perhaps the best science fiction series for radio with writers like Bradbury, Asimov, and Silverberg. Television took over in a few years and this golden age ended. Link in comments.

The Singing Dinasoar

Dinah Shore was shapely and sometimes sang on her TV show while wearing a tight gown. She inspired this Saturday-morning cartoon.

Atkins and Snow - By Special Request - 1969

Eleven tracks from Chet and Hank.

Annette - Back To The Beach - 1987

The King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale, performs with a young Stevie Ray Vaughn and an old Frankie Avalon. There is a catchy tune from Eddie Money and other tunes to like. And Surfin' Bird to dislike. Link in comments.

A Holiday Classic

Check out the nice harmony. Bob Rivers and company did change the lyrics a little.

New Years Eve Monsterjam

Launch this at 11 PM on New Year's Eve to hear 48 Boomer tracks, a countdown to midnight, Auld Lang Syne, and then twelve more tracks during which your guests should probably leave.

Leon Berry At The Giant Wurlitzer - 1956

Once upon a time Leon Berry performed at roller-rinks in the Chicagoland area as a kind of rock star. He recorded several albums after this first one. Link in comments.

Magnificent Rogue - WC Fields - 1956

Fred Allen tells the WC Fields story with samples included. Link in comments.

Thank Got It's Friday - 1978

This is the double-album soundtrack from the movie of the same name, containing LAST DANCE and JE T'AIME and more by Donna Summer, and tunes by Thelma Houston, Diana Ross, The Commodores, and others. Link in comments.

Blondel - The Opera - 1983

Tim Rice and Stephen Oliver contrived this comic Opera which was later rearranged and enlarged. It's a must for Stephen Oliver admirerers but won't please everyone.

Michael Jackson - Megamixes and Remixes

Another CD for use by Club DJ's. Very nicely done with 20 tunes in 26 minutes. Link in comments.

Disco Classics Megamix - 70's

92 original recordings are used in this megamix and the beat never changes. The tunes sprint past at a rate of 1.53 songs-per-minute, killing about 1 hour. A list of the songs is included. I like this thing. Link in comments.

After Pilkington - 1986 - Stephen Oliver

This is a strange and funny film that is a must-have if you are a big fan of composer Stephen Oliver. Otherwise it isn't. Five needful links in comments.

Blade Runner - Esper Edition

This is a rip of the LIMITED-EDITION( not really ) bootleg CD set. It is perhaps the best of the boot remixes although there are many others. Try this, enjoy this, and strap-in for the movie BLADE RUNNER TWO!

Party Megamix - 1994

Here are twelve medleys from the early Eighties of which I enjoyed the ABBA, Beach Boys, and Stevie Wonder tracks and have no recollection of the other nine. Are you, perhaps, a Gary Glitter person? Link in comments.

Stars On 45 - The Beatles LP - 1981

Side A contains the best of the STARS ON 45, HOOKED ON, and MEGAMIX phenomena I believe. It's the 15 minute medley of 30 Beatles tunes in which none of the Beatles actually sang a single note of it. The quality of the rip is great and Side B is also included.

Donna Summer - Je T'Aime - 1977

Much is promised and perhaps little is delivered in this Disco remake by Donna Summer. Link in comments.

Chet Atkins - The Most Popular Guitar - 1961

Chet is accompanied by an orchestra this time out. Link in comments.

30 Years of Ducks Breath - Part 1

I thought the Ducks were done but they aren't.  A documentary about them is in the pipeline and you can kick-in to help it happen.  Some one-hour spots were made in promotion of the Ducks.  Here is the first one.  Link in comments.     

Alfred Drake - The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

That outstanding baritone of his time, Alfred Drake, delivers the best dramatic reading of this subversive poem. Link in comments.

Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes reflect upon the Bonzo Dog Band for BBC Radio One.

It appears that some of my downloads hosted by THE BOX have stopped working. Please let me know and I will fix.

Duck's Breath - Homemade Radio - 1983

This was the second effort from Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre and it came out on cassette instead of vinyl. The characters Mister Science and Ian Shoales are well established in this album. Link in comments.
