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.

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.

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.

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 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.
