Some weird shit from my record collection (WARNING: Graphics intensive!)

[NightTrain]

[PROGRESSIVE1]

1. Is that NORAD album real?

[NightTrain]

2. They're all real!

I couldn't possibly make up shit like that!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

5. Could you give me a list of the songs on the album and what...

year is it from?

[NightTrain]

10. Unfortunately, the concept is a lot more interesting than the music.

Mostly, it's just pedestrian remakes of hits from the Big Band Era. However, the first track on Side 1 is a spoken-word introduction with female back-up singers crooning, "We're partners in defense/We're guarding freedom's skies." And it's priceless!

I'm thinking about transferring some of the weirder stuff from my vinyl collection to the hard drive and burn a series of CDs titled something like INCREDIBLY STRANGE RECORDS. (Thank you, Re/Search Publications!)

3. Music from NORAD?!

What? Is there something about being ordered to ignore hijacked airplanes?

Wow...that is some interesting stuff.

[NightTrain]

7. The LP is by the NORAD Commanders Orchestra, conducted...

...by Major Mark Azzolina. It was recorded in 1969 to celebrate NORAD's tenth anniversary. That's what the liner notes say, at least.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Who knew they even had an orchestra?

Wow...the things I learn here.

[Deja Q]

4. Ethel Merman's background is trippy!

I :loveya: it!

Ugh, pac-man fever... :puke: :puke: :puke:

[EstimatedProphet]

6. LOL!

Hard to believe those are real!

[mmm]

8. I cannot beat that

WOW! You don't see albums like that every day

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. You bastard!

I had excpunged from my memory the existence of CB Radio inspired music. Crap, now I'm remembering some of it.

"We're gonna have a convoy...."

I'd also forgotten about PacMan Fever, so thanks for reminding me of that.

I'm very interested in that NORAD album! And the theremin one - is it any good, or is it just silly noodling with the theremin from bozos trying to cash in on the theremin phenomenon?

[ronzo]

11. GG Allin...

sick puppy.

[bedtimeforbonzo]

17. that's some oooold GG

when he still had hair.

[1monster]

13. I have the Pac Man Fever album too!

But I can go ya one further! I have the DISCO DUCK album. :D

Disco, Disco Duck...

[bonemachine]

18. I have the disco Wizard of Oz

It's on GOLD vinyl!

[tridim]

14. Did you buy those new?

Or did you go garage saling?

LOL if you bought them new. :D

[NightTrain]

16. Found most of 'em at flea markets and Salvation Army thrift stores.

You'd be amazed at some of the offbeat vinyl you can score cheaply at those places!

[MrSlayer]

15. GG Allin is Sooooo out of place here.

I have the Pac Man Fever album. This is mostly disturbing.

[jpgray]

19. GG Allin is a sick, sick man. (nt)

[Kat45]

20. Yes, he was.

And a local one at that.

[NightTrain]

22. You mean, "was."

He died in 1993--of a heroin overdose. Big surprise there, huh?

[JVS]

21. Can I get some dubs?

Especially the GG Allin

[NightTrain]

23. That might just be do-able! PM me.

n/t

[asthmaticeog]

24. I HAVE A COUPLE OF THOSE!

The "Ritual of the Savage" and the Ethel Merman.

And I used to have the Pac Man Fever record when I was a kid, but I don't know where the hell it is anymore.
