R.I.P. interesting career, good connections!

Leadoff cut on my BFT 213 two years ago! And that Brass Construction track is another winner!

I often buy CD's in batches to save on shipping, so it can take me a while to get to them, but I play the whole disc if it's one I'm going to keep (I will bail on some cheap used ones which were musical "lottery tickets" if I decide I'll be movng it along). Streaming, I am generally just going to youtube for a single track I am in the mood to hear, or to sample something specific I haven't heard and am curious about. I don't borrow discs from the library (outmoded by streaming) and don't pay for downloads (have bought, I think, three downloads ever).

Not ideal, but full album is available on youtube.

Agreed it looks great, and agreed I'm not likely to ever pick it up due to cost and capacity (too many CD's/books/movies, too little space/time, money supply is finite).

Not Stewart, more obscure.

Also a Cookers (David Weiss & illustrious company) album.

There's actually a very interesting reason for that!

That was a phone accident. I do much better posting from laptop.

It is not Dickerson!

I love Gene Clark's music, start (Byrds) to finish.

3 and 10 remain unidentified. I suspect no one is going to get 10, but 3 should most certainly be ID'd in this neighborhood!

Chic still gets extensive play in my household (Rodgers/Edwards/Thompson is still the rhythm section that most closely matches my inner workings), as do the Sister Sledge and Norma Jean Wright albums they produced. And I still own and play albums by Donna Summer, Rose Royce, Gloria Gaynor, and Evelyn Champagne King among others.

Rhino's expansive survey of the controversial genre that dominated late-70's popular music. Picked up this 4-CD set for $15, and am taking a stroll down memory lane, back to my early 20's. This box has it all: the good (and occasionally great), the bad, and the ugly. And despite being criticized as being stiff and mechanical back in the day, this stuff sounds so organic and funky and human (why, even real drummers, percussionists, and bass players rather than machines) when compared to what pop "music" is today.

If you like 'Vista', you'll find this album to be excellent. Thanks for your kind words on my offbeat selections. I'll look to include more next year.

Not Brackeen. Not a pianist I am really familiar with ,but very good on this album. The alto player is the only big name. Not Braxton.

Yes, well done on #9, didn't expect anyone to get that one! #3 not Lake.

Yes! To all: 3,4,5,9. and 10 still need ID's! Good luck on a couple of them, but the other three are quite doable.

Yes it is Bowen! Rest of the ID becomes pretty easy now.

Yes!

Correct on the composition! Not Moore, but same era (a few years younger than Moore).
