Easy Rider - the movie soundtrack

This is back cover of Easy Rider, the movie soundtrack album.  Wow - what great songs!  The liner notes tells us The Weight, performed in the movie by The Band, on the record, they had to use a version by a band (person?) called Smith.  That was a rights issue.  How about Don't Bogart Me, by Fraternity of Man?  Besides the anthemic Born to be Wild, Steppenwolf also does The Pusher, written by Hoyt Axton.  This record in on the Dunhill (ABC) label.  The movie was directed by Dennis Hopper.  And Jimi does If Six were Nine.  I bought it for fifty cents at the Half Priced Books store near me.

Back to the Records: Double Vision

After book reviews, concert reviews, non-musical sound recordings, and at-home visits from top jazz record collectos - we are now back to what this blog is about:  commentary about some of the classic rock record albums that I own.  This is Foriegner's second album, Double Vision, released in 1978, on the Atlantic label.  I paid fifty cents for it at a store near me called Half Priced Books.  It's a national chain - and it there is one near you - there are some awesome finds there.  Top shelf (more popular and/or rare) records go for $2.97 there.  But look down below on the lower shelves for the fifty centers.  No link for this post's title.

Glenn Miller - live a Carnegie Hall

Here is noted jazz recollector Chuck Sweningsen, at my house.  As a gift to him, he also picked out this Glenn Miller live at Carnegie Hall concert album.  It is not rare; I saw a couple of them for sale on eBay.  I am glad this record has a good home.
