Christmas Becomes Electric

LP (Item 469939) Columbia, 1969 — Condition: Very Good
A rare Christmas album from the Moog Machine – a bit more straighforward than their better-known album for Columbia, but still pretty groovy overall! The tunes here are mostly classics, given some leaner arrangements and played on the moog by Kenny Ascher. Alan Foust wrote the arrangements, and Norman Dolph produced – and the album credits all three as being The Moog Machine group as an ensemble – even though Ascher's the only one playing. Titles include "Silent Night", "Deck The Halls", "We Three Kings", "The First Noel", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", and "The Little Drummer Boy".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Threshold
Capitol, 1973. Very Good+
Nice stuff from Pat Williams! Although known for mostly groovy 60s stuff (ala his legendary Verve and soundtrack work), this album features Williams hitting more of a 70s jazz funk groove, with a nice electric edge. The tracks are long, and the solos are played by Tom Scott and Marvin Stamm ... LP, Vinyl record album

The Latin sound is a groovy sound too – thanks to some great arrangements from the legendary Henry Mancini! The album's less a straight Latin date than it is a new approach to the grooves Mancini was laying down on his 60s soundtracks – a mix of bossa and cha cha-inspired themes that ...
