For some strange reason, Coconut is the only song that calms down my one year old daughter. I have to act out the lyrics like I'm in a Muppets sketch but she laughs and likes it.

I've been trying to learn the C7 chord on the guitar to play this for her but my fat fingers can't grasp it for too long. Also, haven't played in years and I need to practice more.

I can live, if living meant without Harry Nilsson. There, I said it.
That first half of the record is an absolute snoozefest.
It's also not the worst record I've heard. I actually don't mind "Without You" and "Coconut" is low-key fire. But my god does that first half drag this down.

Rating: 2/5 [Mediocre]

If there’s a song in this one that you’d dig. I bet it would be “Jump Into The Fire” which is almost post punk.

Not bad. But not good either.

This Laura Nyro album sounds nothing like I thought it would based on the album cover.

Is that a good or a bad thing? Also what did the cover lead you to believe it would sound like?

She’s kind of unlike anyone. Maybe a bit like Joni (which is why I called on @Joe Mac )

I'm actually not sure. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't a big fan of her voice.

I honestly don't know what I was expecting. I obviously saw it was from 1968 but the album cover kind of has a 90's PJ Harvey or Tracy Bonham vibe. But I know it wasn't going to be that.

Hey sorry. I did see your tag. I’ve not been as active as maybe I have been in the past around here for one reason or another. I will try to give it a listen at some point.

I picked this up on a whim one day while flipping through a bargain bin because I was so entranced by the cover. Love this record and reading about her story was fascinating

I’m sure I’ve listened to this but I’ll be damned if I’ve ever paid attention to it. Doesn’t it have the Exorcist theme on it or something? This is one of them you love it if you are a true audiophile things?

All good. I think this is something you might enjoy.

This was the release that launched Virgin Records.

I’m not crazy, there’s a reason I don’t remember listening to it:


Of course, I don’t remember that Moonlight Shadows shit either.

 

[MyWifeHatesTrain]

Okay, this is cool. Like if Chip Davis did (more/better, I don’t know… I ain’t the man’s biographer) drugs.

 

[Hemotep]

Tubular Bells is fantastic ear candy.

 

[MyWifeHatesTrain]

I like the part where a butler starts telling me what instruments I’m listening to. lol.

 

[MyWifeHatesTrain]

There are three versions of this on Qobuz with a whopping 6 1/2 hours of music.

Man this thing has sold 15 million copies?

Which begs the question, how many copies does @LeeVing have?

Back in the 70s you were issued this or Frampton Comes Alive. A lot of people chose this because it only had 2 songs on it. Little did they know.
