Yeah, I bought a used copy in the late 70s just for the look. Too bad the music wasn't as good as the look.

At some point, won't the files be digitized? And then you wouldn't have to leave home if you had the right setup at home? Scattershooting while wondering what the post-pandemic "workplace" can look like vs what it will look like?

good luck on that one... As always, a Venn Diagram tells the truth when nothing else does!

Toros was badass.

I might become an accidental Dean Dixon collector?

Not a Toro?

hmmm...those always seemed to be the most normal sounding of the batch to me.

What kind of lawn more did you have?

What kind of lawnmower did he have?

RIP, an interesting journey, to say the least!

Millie...yeah, Millie! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millie_Jackson Jackson had her own radio show in Dallas, Texas for 13 years. Broadcasting via remote from her home in Atlanta, Jackson worked in afternoon drive-time from 3–6 pm on KKDA 730 AM, until January 6, 2012. That was a wild ride, to put it mildly! Also, when Soul 73 became Seoul 73, it changed the radio landscape in this area permanently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKDA_(AM

Now that's a damn good record!

Armed Forces, the Elvis Costello record he never got paid for arranging.

I'd like to know which albums you're referring to specifically, because off the top of my head, I seem to recall that the records that Teo was not involved in have a different sound. But it's not jacked up or anything imo, it just adds to the stoneyjazzvibe of that music in that time.

Punjab - Joe Chambers Plays Piano Lucidity rules the day on this one.

Regarding Red Calhoun, this article suggests that Calhoun never strayed outside of Texas: https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fcagd

Pee Wee Ellis? https://www.discogs.com/Ginger-Baker-Why/release/5872405

Well, it's A Quincy Jones...maybe it was actually Billy Buyers?

Not immediately engaging. Will revisit in 5-10 year to reconsider.

Quincy Jones actually designed one though...

Previously familair with this one, and impressions stand - not underwhelming enough to be annoying, just underwhelming enough to be ever so slightly noticeable. But the one Farmer original is really interesting, and Clifford Jordan is always "on-point", as they say somewhere.
