The CDs Are Here
Aug. 18th, 2004 06:04 pmWell, most of them. The Gene Pitney CD is on the one-to-two-weeks list. (I've had bad luck with that before, but I'm hoping they will be able to scrounge up a copy.)
Here's what I've got.
Tammy Wynette, "20 Greatest Hits", including "Stand By Your Man" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E". (That sort of thing always amuses me. I'll admit, I'm easily amused.)
"The Essential Cyndi Lauper". I'm taking a flyer on this one; the only songs on it that I recognize are "Time After Time" and "True Colors", both of which I like, and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", of which I've only heard snatches. But I often take gambles of this sort, and they pay off more often than not.
"The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong". 15 classic duets, including "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" and "Summertime".
Al Stewart, "Year of the Cat". This is the album that brought him to my (and practically everyone's) attention back in the mid-'70s.
Kingston Trio, "Greatest Hits". This has "MTA", "The Tijuana Jail", and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", which I already had, but also "Tom Dooley", "Reuben James", and seven other classics.
"Blood, Sweat & Tears". This is not the album I thought it was; my LP is "Blood, Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits". So I didn't get "Lucretia McEvil", or "Lisa, Listen to Me", but it's got a lot of goodies: "Sometimes in Winter", "And When I Die", "God Bless the Child", and "Spinning Wheel", among others.
They'll be going in with Heart, "Bad Animals"; the Rolling Stones, "High Tide and Green Grass"; Linda Ronstadt, "Canciones de Mi Padre"; the Moody Blues, "Days of Future Passed" and "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor"; and the Turtles, "Let Me Be", in playlist #10.
