This is a cool little oddity for the Rainbow/Deep Purple fans. Basically it’s a 1970 supergroup album with all of the artists performing under pseudonyms. Here’s the roster:
From the Stacks: Green Bullfrog
From the Stacks: Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisited
I bought this album at a friends of the library book sale for one reason: To impress the super hot hippie chick, Tuesday. It didn’t work, but nothing did.
From the Stacks: Graham Central Station – Ain’t No ‘Bout-A-Doubt It
Let’s talk about the legendary Larry Graham, the inventor of the “thump and pluck” style of bass playing without which we’d have no funk. We can stop right there, can’t we? That’s […]
From the Stacks: Peter Hammill – The Future Now
I bought this album out of the cutout bin when I was a kid because I thought it must be some kind of Mick Fleetwood rarity. Man, was I wrong, thank goodness.
From Robbo’s Stacks: Alice Cooper — Pretties for You
I hope that this becomes becomes a regular WIM feature. Robbo is a good friend from my art school and record store days, and he has a killer record collection. He’s also […]
From the Stacks: The Godz – Nothing is Sacred
Casablanca was a seriously weird record label. Neil Bogart’s brainchild was primarily a disco label (it was the home of Donna Summer, after all), yet it made its fortune on the backs […]
From the Stacks: The Cure – The Love Cats (12″ single)
Come on, who doesn’t love “The Love Cats”? Nothing’s more fun than when the king of the shoegazers cuts loose.
From the Stacks: Alice Cooper – School’s Out
Another classic Alice Cooper package, this one from 1972. You all know the title tune, but the one that really weirded me out as a kid was “Gutter Cat vs. the Jets,” […]
From the Stacks: The Godfathers – Birth, School, Work, Death
This is quite simply a great post-punk album: a little poppy but hooky as hell.
From the Stacks: Alice Cooper – From the Inside
I know I’m going to get grief on this one, but Alice Cooper’s 1978 From the Inside is my vote for Cooper’s masterpiece.
