I have been wanting to listen to my record collection for some time now, and yesterday Rick and I went to Moog Audio to purchase a pre-amp for my turntable (our 10 yr old tuner didn’t have the proper fixins, imagine!), so for the past day I’ve been wandering down Penny Lane, past Strawberry Fields towards Shakedown Street, which is near where Sonny and Cher and KISS live. Through the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s – 4 decades of vinyl have waited to be played once again. A few of the albums I’ve missed listening to over the years include:

• George Harrison’s special release Goddess of Fortune, full of devotional songs to Govinda and Gopala, recorded with the help from the devotees at the Radha Krsna Temple in London, UK
• NUNSEXMONKROCK by Nina Hagen (a divine goddess in her own right!)
• Soul Mining by The The (awesome album!)
• Count Basie and Sammy Davis: Our Shining Hour, arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones (!)
• Adam and the Ants: Kings of the Wild Frontier (hot!)
• Vivaldi! Mozart! Tchaikovsky!
• Original recording of Around the World in 80 days (c) 1957!
• Fun Boy Three and The Colourfield (*sigh* Terry Hall)
• POPPA’S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG! (takes me back to the The New Music with Jeanne Becker and JD Roberts – I’m old)
• Visage: the Anvil (sweet gothic music)
• The Cure: The Head On The Door (Classic!)
• Psychic TV: Dreams Less Sweet (with Always is Always, a song written by Charles Manson)

I’m sure there are a few more, I have some interesting albums for sure 🙂 YAY for MUSIC!! *happydance*

addendum: wow, I’m surprised at myself for remembering lyrics of songs I haven’t heard in 20 or more years!
