The dildo-with-a-love-child-of-Ernie-Kovas-and-Triumph-The-Insult-Dog-for-a-head that dominates the cover photo should have tipped me off that this was not gonna be very good, but you know me, I like a good party record as much as the next guy, right?

But...this is not very good, period. Red Seal?

hehe. reminded my of this Stravinski quote

"Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like,

it's always by

Villa-Lobos?"

-- Igor Stravinsky

Oh, I'd not get all like that up in it, but...the liner notes (by Alfred Frankenstein...STEEN! Frank-en-STEEN!) imply it best when they say:

The score contains numerous hints and collections of the Brazilian folk style for which Villa-Lobos is famous, but its general order is that of French ballet in its lightest, most tuneful form, and consequently it demands a minimum of comment.

And OBTW - my copy is stamped as being from radio station WWCA, in the Gary Hotel, right there in Gary, Indiana. One has to wonder if this album, its cover and/or its contents, were used by Joe Jackson to keep little Michael in line. If so, hey, there you go.

Ornette Coleman "The Shape of Jazz to Come" 2010 Rhino pressing. Cut from the original analog masters by Bernie Grundman (BG in the dead wax). The sound is PHENOMENAL, it's just PERFECT. I've never been more impressed by a modern pressing. This thing is a blessing; I can't stop playing it!

My wife's out of town, and that often means a 45 RPM night. I didn't mind getting up every three minutes to change the record - as I said here before, I need the exercise. And I'll probably do it again tomorrow night, since I didn't get to any of my hardcore blues 45s. I won't otherwise try to categorize these, but everything from Willie West on is from New Orleans; all of that is produced by Allen Toussaint and features him on piano except for the last one - a game-changing New Orleans single with Milton Batiste on trumpet and Ellis Marsalis on piano.

Lovely ! I really like that particular King series. Too bad I didn't pick them up when they were £7-8 a throw (well, it was over 30 years ago and that was a small fortune back then.. ;) )
