Yes, corto is on the money for 5, 7, & 10. Nicely played! MG got #1, and almost everybody's gotten the two Mingus cuts (2 & 11) with Felser at the ready to ID it as a 45, not an LP...what are y'all hearing in that (past the surface noise, of course, probably from jukebox play, altjough, including that)? Several considerations, objectively real and "programmatic" within this specific program, and MG was sorta kinda on to something, backing into it, maybe? At the very least, being pulled into the gravitational field. And there's no mistaking James Brown. But he's not here for that purpose, to simply be IDed. Randy & Felser both identified it as a remix. And really, a James Brown remix per se is hardly news, so again, that's not why it's here. So, why IS it here? Because...well, just listen to it! The Anthony Davis piece is actually two full cuts and the beginning of a third (In real time performance order). Anybody who wants to play the "narrative" game, follow the gist of the lyrics as the go along, as well as things that happen in the music. Just sayin'... #12...we have Ike, we have bowling alley, and I did play with tape recorders as a younger self. But sorry! LOL! MG is totally off chronologically and ezthetically as far as it being sourced from a hip-hop place, BUT...the very hiphoppish esthetic of recontextualizing an existing language to meet current personal needs (from both within and from and without)...THAT card would not be entirely misplayed were it to be played at all at several point along the way here.

Nope.

"Tredgin'" was part of the added-on bridge, which, really, changes the lyric from that of a lonesome journey into the void to a much more mundane, trivial, sad labor pop song. I would perceive It to be an Imposed dialect Impression of trudging.

No, that's Dorothy Kilgallen. What's My Line? It's Mystery Guest time, panel!

Will have more time to respond more specifically when I get back online more fully come the next weekend, but bonus points to the first listener who points out the direct, literal, Star Trek connection to (at least?) one of the selections here. Also, MG is correct about Johnny Otis on #1, and Randy rightly noticed that this collection signed on by signing off. So, are there thematic implications for the remaing presention (including the way that #1 ends?), to be gotten from that? If you want to think about that type of thing, yes, absolutely. And if you don't. ...still yes, but of no relevance, so carry on then, and thank you for playing. I'd give it all away up front, but hey, Blindfolds! RIP Dorothy Kilgallen, etc. Gotta be SOME unsolved mysteries! Oh yeah, Lonesome Road...the totin' a heavy load thing does not exist in the original, pre -Tin Pan Alley versions of the lyrics. That part's only in an added on bridge, and is relevant to neither the source of nor the inspiration for the performance heard here. More info about that than anybody except these folks would ever want to know can be found here: https://commonreader.wustl.edu/c/best-friends-must-part-someday/

Yes, Ike!, Now, what about his accompaniment?

Whoa, I got that record too! Love the boxy sound, makes It all Communist and shit for no real reason at all. Where will the comprehensive Listing Of ARS Output be found?

Not Truman.

Vinyl, yes. LP, no. Not taken from the LP. Narrative more than theme, yes, moreso.

Plas Johnson!?!?!!??

No, I wouldn't have gotten it no matter what. The orb of Hash Brown has never been for me. But that record sounds like a senior's home gig in every aspect, really, it does, and there's no reason why it had to. More than that, I will not say.

Eh.....shame on them for making that record with such piss-poor production qualities.

Yeah, it's been around for a while now....."mixed results" is what I've heard, to be generous. But if you get lucky, hey, ride it!

Half a case for All through the Night could be half made

That's great that Nameless Sound can sponsor a free concert!

indeed it does...who is sponsoring/promoting it?

Porter Kilbert Wilbert Harrison Kansas City Stsr

That was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Big fan of the Rangers org here, overall, but that one....not good. They got greedy and tried to get too much too soon.

Neftali Feliz says hi.

The right way to do this is to buy it and then play it on the day of the show, as close to the actual performance time as possible, and then do nothing in between but study, get high, and listen to other 1966 records, nothing else. Maybe watch some Get Smart reruns. Anything else and it gets all historical-y.

If/When it goes to CD, I might be interested. Might be fun hearing the group working an audience. Where that exists, it has worked quite well..
