Vinyl Me Please Classics

Little known fact, "Aja" was actually Steely Dans 17th album.

It is depending on how you count!

I would do a backflip. Perhaps its doable, they just did a Sinatra album in the Quincy Jones boxset!

Or they could do Dinah Washington’s For Those In Love. It’s her third true album that isn’t a comp. Quincy Jones tie in. In the Wee Small Hours would have to be essentials.

i'm totally down for the disco-funk album... dance electronic is my jam when it comes to rhythm so i probably have to buy it

 

[jfitzy]

I’m excited about getting another blues album so soon. I’ll also probably dig whatever the disco-funk pic is. Kinda a sucker for that stuff.

Are we any closer to getting the Bill Withers booklet?

Did they ever give an expected timeframe?

Due to pressing plant delays, Bill Withers booklets have been delayed until 2024...

The timeline has had some +justments.

Sure what would you do with more listening notes?

Didn’t realize anybody actually read them!

Ha! Seriously though. I usually page through them once and then I’m done with it. I’d much rather they not waste the paper to print them.

Honestly I think I read one that Storf wrote in the beginning and never read any again.

I used to read them when the record arrived, then one of them (Nat Turner) was so bad that I just stopped. That one read like someone in grade 10 wrote it. It was awful.

He unfortunately is just not that good a writer and was let down further by the fact that he was a worse copy editor whose pieces were riven with elementary errors. Like the time he did copy paste and there was a random v in the middle of the sentence because he hadn’t hit ctrl properly. Or the marrow. I don’t like his curation either but other seem to so I won’t go after that so much.

The Marrow is definitely in the VMP hall of fame

Gawd...I can't help but think of that just ripping off The Dead Poets Society...FFS.

I’ll throw Mel Tourmé with the Marty Paiche Dek-Tette out as a great choice for the vocal jazz pick.
It's listed as his 3rd album on Wikipedia, and that's what Storf usually goes by, but it could be a different Tourmé album too.

I have this and its a decent but not one that I find myself going for too often. Its quite 'dated' in my opinion and you really have to be into that kind of vocals to properly enjoy it. The side-men are great though (including Bud Shank, Mel Lewis and Jack Montrose) and the Burt Goldblatt artwork is nice too. There's an album released a few years after this which is even more dated (very cheesy songs) but with Art Pepper in the group.

March Blues could be Jimmy Witherspoon, he had a lot of albums and his 17th would've been around the mid-60s when he did all those great sounding recordings for Prestige Records at Van Gelder Studios.

I think you could probably spin it to make Muddy & The Wolf the 17th album by Howlin Wolf (but the god know what album by Muddy Waters).
