Tony Randall & Jack Klugman -- Odd Couple Sings ... LP
Phase 4/London, 1973. Very Good Gatefold .... $4.99
Terrible! But pretty darn wonderful, too -- at least if you dig The Odd Couple! Considering their roots in Broadway, Randall and Klugman should be pretty decent singers -- but instead, they decide to camp it up for this one, as they spend a lot of time arguing about and during sweet old-fashioned... read more

Joshua Rifkin -- Baroque Beatles Book ... LP
Elektra, 1965. Very Good+ .... $4.99
One of the weirdest Beatle-related projects of the 60s -- and one of the most abstract, as well! The album's got kind of an odd concept -- in that it purports to be a rediscovery of rare baroque music roots of famous Beatle tunes by Lennon & McCartney -- recorded with offbeat arrangements done... read more

The album to back up David Rose's famous single of the title, a track that, no matter how many times we hear it, still sounds great today. Too bad the rest of this isn't as great, but still, it's not too bad, especially on tracks like "Deserted City", and his take on "Laura".... read more
