"Aretha Franklin, Sparkle Soundtrack"
ARETHA FRANKLIN - SPARKLE SOUNDTRACK - COMPOSED & PRODUCED BY CURTIS MAYFIELD
Though she'd already been hailed as the Queen of Soul for her run of sultry '60s hits for Atlantic, Aretha Franklin split her time in the '70s between explorations of her gospel roots and flirtations with the pop mainstream, often with diminishing results. But, just as the music she had so long epitomized was evolving into rhythmic funk and nascent disco, Franklin teamed with fellow soul vet Curtis Mayfield to produce the soundtrack for this otherwise unremarkable film project, a collaboration that retrenched her successfully in the dramatic, gospel-rooted musical framework of a decade earlier. Thanks in no small part to Mayfield's focused, stripped-to-the-essentials production, Franklin frees herself to turn in remarkably consistent performances throughout, from the effervescent title track and romantic anthem "Something He Can Feel" to the soaring vocal showcase "I Get High" and infectious R&B groove of "Loving You Baby."
1. Sparkle
2. Something He Can Feel
3. Hooked on Your Love
4. Look into Your Heart
5. I Get High
6. Jump
7. Loving You Baby
8. Rock with Me

"Janis Joplin, Janis (2 LPs) - 180 Gram"
180 Gram Limited Edition Analog Virgin Vinyl. One of the Top 40 Artists of All-Time, there are only three women on that list -- one is Aretha Franklin, the other is Joni Mitchell, and the third is Janis Joplin.
JANIS -
For the longest time, this important piece of Janis's growth and history, was only available as a cassette. (And naturally, that is not available anymore, unless you find it used.) The "JANIS" ALBUM was originally the SOUNDTRACK ALBUM for the movie JANIS. (A cool biography film, indispensible for Janis fans.) Only the second half of this recording, is really the movie soundtrack. There's some live cuts from the FESTIVAL EXPRESS Canadian tour, with FULL TILT BOOGY band, and a live cut from a local San Fransesco PBS music show, with BIG BROTHER, from early 1967. Other of her key songs are on that first LP, to complete that part of her superstar story. However, the REAL reason to buy this LP, is for what's on the FIRST LP. It's a long tape of songs, from Janis, and the WALLER CREEK BOYS, from late 1962- early 1963. There are also songs from 1965 when Janis sang with the DICK OXTOT JAZZ BAND, and a few folk songs, that Janis recorded very early.
These songs include :TROUBLE IN MIND, WHAT GOOD CAN DRINKING DO, SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES, MISSISSIPI RIVER, STEALIN, NO REASON FOR LIVIN, BLACK MOUNTAIN BLUES, WALK RIGHT IN, RIVER JORDAN, MARY JANE, KANSIS CITY BLUES, DADDY DADDY DADDY, C.C. RIDER, SAN FRANSESCO BAY BLUES, WININ BOY, CARELESS LOVE, I'LL DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS.
The sound on these recordings are acceptable, especially considering the age, and historical value. (If you happen to have the 1966 rare live recording of BIG BROTHER, made just weeks after Janis joined the band, it's obvious Janis brought a few of these songs with her into BIG BROTHER's early set list.) Hearing how JANIS developed her gift, that INCREDIBLE gift, is just as musically rewarding, as listening to the first BOB DYLAN LP, or the Beatle's ANTHOLOGY LP'S. If nothing else, it shows that Janis KNEW HER BLUES AND FOLK HERITAGE. She did not just join BIG BROTHER, and suddenly become a star overnight. So Listen to Janis, before the drugs, and loud rock music, made her start to scream and yell so much. Here is JANIS, a beautiful, aware, blossoming talent the likes of which has not been heard since.

"Michael McDonald, If That's What It Takes - Factory Sealed MFSL JVC Half-speed Japanese Pressing"
MFSL ORIGINAL SEALED LP - MICHAEL MCDONALD - IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES - This is a MFSL Super Virgin Vinyl (so pure that you can see through it if held up to the light) JVC Half-Speed Japanese Pressing. Recording is from the Victor Company of Japan for state of the art audiophile pressings.
THIS IS OUR LAST COPY FOREVER.
With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late '70s. McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth soft rock, a sound that made him a star. He initially essayed his signature style with the Doobie Brothers, ushering in the group's most popular period with hits like "What a Fool Believes" and "Taking It to the Streets." McDonald disbanded the group in 1982 to pursue a solo career, which was initially quite successful, but by the end of the decade his popularity had faded away, since he was reluctant to work regularly and hesitant to update his sound to suit shifting popular tastes.
After singing backup on several Steely Dan albums in the mid-'70s, Michael McDonald joined the Doobie Brothers in 1977. He was largely responsible for moving the group away from boogie rock and toward polished, jazzy blue-eyed soul. Prior to the Doobies' farewell tour in 1982, he sang harmony on several hit singles, including tracks by Donna Summer, Toto, Kenny Loggins, and Christopher Cross. As it turned out, McDonald's solo work was a cross between the Doobie Brothers' white-bread soul and Cross' adult contemporary ballads.
McDonald released his solo debut, If That's What It Takes, in 1982. The record climbed to number six on the strength of the number four single "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)," which also crossed over into the R&B Top Ten. In 1983, he had another Top 20 pop hit (and a Top Ten R&B hit) with his duet with James Ingram, "Yah Mo B There." McDonald didn't deliver his second solo album, No Lookin' Back, until 1985. The record wasn't as successful as its predecessor, producing only one moderate hit in its title track. He bounced back the following year, when his duet with Patti LaBelle, "On My Own," shot to number one and "Sweet Freedom," his theme for the Billy Crystal/Gregory Hines comedy Running Scared, climbed into the Top Ten.
Instead of capitalizing on his revitalized success, McDonald didn't release another album until 1990. The resulting Take It to Heart was a bomb, peaking at number 110. Two years later, his fortunes were revived somewhat when he sang on Aretha Franklin's minor hit "Ever Changing Times" and toured with Donald Fagen's New York Rock and Soul Revue. The following year, he released Blink of an Eye, which was ignored. In 1994, "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" was sampled heavily in Warren G's smash hit "Regulate." By 1996, McDonald had returned to the Doobie Brothers, touring the oldies circuit with the reunited group. The following year, McDonald released Blue Obsession, his first album of new material in three years. He released a Christmas album (In the Spirit: A Christmas Album) in 2001, and began a series of recordings devoted to the Motown catalog with 2003's Motown. Motown Two and Soul Speak followed in 2004 and 2008 respectively.

"Marvin Gaye, What's Going On (rare tan vinyl)"
Classic Analog LP Pressing (rare tan vinyl), voted the #4 album of all time. The nine songs all play like a hit single. The title track--inspired by his brother's return from the Vietnam War--and the obvious social commentary of "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" actually were hit singles. Two other tracks ("Wholly Holy" and "Save the Children") would inspire hit covers by Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, respectively. Nevertheless, "What's Going On" sounds as fresh today as it did the week that it came out.

"Janis Joplin, Live In Concert (2 LPs - 180 Gram)"
One of the Top 40 Artists of All-Time, there are only three women on that list -- one is Aretha Franklin, the other is Joni Mitchell, and the third is Janis Joplin.
LIVE IN CONCERT - This Double LP Collection is from concerts with Big Brother and the Holding Company and Full Tilt Boogie - All Is Loneliness - with Big Brother was an inspirational vehicle for Joplin unlike any other and no other performance of this tune which conveys the terrifying loneliness is even remotely similar. The version here was recorded at a 1970 reunion with Big Brother and Janis“there ain’t no tv, no radio, no nothin’ man” simply rips your heart out. We are also treated to the improptu 12 bar blues of - Ego Rock - where Nick Gravenites and Janis toss blues lines back and forth in an affectionate but competitive repartee.
Janis was looped during the outdoor gigs with Full Tilt - a lot of Tequila went down the hatch on the festival train that puffed its way across Canada in July of 1970. It was four months before Joplin died and her Calgary performance of - Ball and Chain - is inspired, brilliant, drunk, uncanny and frightening. It is like work from the other side. Also included on this LP are - Down On Me - Bye Bye Baby - Piece Of My Heart - Road Block - Flower In The Sun - a cover of Gershwin’s Summertime - Half Moon - Cosmic Blue - Move Over - Try Just A Little Bit Harder - Get It While You Can.

FM SOUNDTRACK - This DOUBLE VINYL collection is the soundtrack from the 1978 ill-fated movie. Pushing the visuals aside, the collection includes a majority of the top selling classic rock artists performing their classic hit singles that dominated the airwaves in the 1970's.
Walter Brecker and Donald Fagen/Steely Dan are represented with their newly recorded title track that opens the collection and reprise that closes out the second disc. Their first major chart success, the relentless "Do It Again," is also included.
The Eagles are represented as a group on "Life In The Fast Lane," from the "Hotel California" album, while there are 2 solo members with individual tracks: Joe Walsh does a parody of fortune and fame on the tongue and cheek track, "Life's Been Good." Randy Meisner performs on "Bad Man."
One of the most popular female vocalists of the 1970's was Linda Ronstadt. She has 2 live performances on the album, which she also performed in the film, "Tumbling Dice," (a Rolling Stones track) and "Poor Poor Pitiful Me."
Boston's feel good debut single, "More Than A Feeling" is on the soundtrack, which was extracted from their multiplatinum eponyomous debut that sold more copies that any debut album during its inception. Queen rocks with their stadium anthum, "We Will Rock You." Steve Miller soars on "Fly Like An Eagle." Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's trademark sound is heard on "Breakdown." Lou Gramm's high pitched vocals are evident on the track "Cold As Ice." The Doobie Brothers "It Keeps You Runnin'" is also included in this important rock and roll collection.
The soundtrack also sports Jimmy Buffet's electric performance on "Livingston Saturday Night." Folker and adult contemporary stylist, Dan Fogelberg delivers one of his most emotionally wrenching ballads with "There's A Place In The World For A Gambler," while New York's own, Billy Joel sings his trademark ballad and grammy award winning song of the year, "Just The Way You Are." James Taylor is represented with the mid-tempo love song,"Your Smiling Face" and jazz musician Boz Scaggs performs his up tempo signature track "Lido Shuffle," that originaly appeared on his "Silk Degrees" album.
This collection brings the listener back to a more innocent time in rock and roll (if that was possible), when the emphasis was primarily on the music itself and the live performances. It is essential listening for avid fans of the rock and roll medium. Skip the movie and go straight for the soundtrack!

"Janis Joplin, Cheap Thrills - CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK"
"Rare Gatefold Cover". Here Big Brother & The Holding Company’s 1968 major label debut made good n all the hype generated by Janis Joplin’s amazing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival the year before. Crowned by its single, a cunning re-make of Aretha Franklin’s sister, Erma’s "Piece Of My Heart", the album also contained Joplin’s Monterey show-stopper, Big Mamma Thornton’s "Ball and Chain", as well as the Gershwin classic, "Summertime", on which Joplin’s always under-appreciated band (especially guitarists, Sam Andrews and James Gurley) match her vocal intensity with their furious playing.

"Marvin Gaye, What's Going On"
180 Gram Limited Edition Analog Virgin Vinyl, voted the #4 album of all time. The nine songs all play like a hit single. The title track--inspired by his brother's return from the Vietnam War--and the obvious social commentary of "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" actually were hit singles. Two other tracks ("Wholly Holy" and "Save the Children") would inspire hit covers by Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, respectively. Nevertheless, "What's Going On" sounds as fresh today as it did the week that it came out.
