XTC | All of a Sudden | English Settlement | Caroline (Geffen) | 1982 | CD |
Some thought it 'slick." at the time. It sounded to me like updated Zombies; British suburban, breadth of subject matter; tuneful; skilled, emotionally not a little frightening. |

|
String Quartet #5, Movement 3, "In the Fifth Dimension" | String Quartets Nos. 1, 5 & 7 | Naxos | 2002 | CD |
Performed by Kreutzer Quartet. I listen to a lot of quartet music, this is unlike anything I've heard. Music comprised almost entirely of glissandi. |

Eddie Floyd | Linda Sue Dixon | Down to Earth | Stax | LP | Hardly primo Eddie, but this Steve Cropper co-produced LP has a few peculiar treasures, like this one. L.S.D., get it? | 2:38:16 (Pop-up) | ||||

Latimore | There's a Red-Neck in a Soul Band | Latimore III | Glades | 1975 | LP |
The "red-neck" is probably played by Little Beaver Hale, who is definitely not. Benny Latimore made 3 or 4 fine LPs for Glades/TK in the Seventies, writing, arranging, singing & playing excellent keyboards. |
2:48:00 (Pop-up) | |||
