Bud Shank's second Beatles-titled album of the 60s – and a set that's even groovier than the first!

Johnny Frigo/Jack Brickhouse —
Cub Power ... LP Quill, 1969. Very Good ...
$4.99
A bit of Chicago sports magic, from that mighty Cubs year of 1969! The set features one side of spoken bits, with Jack Brickhouse and others – and one side of songs sung by the Cubs, set to music by Johnny Frigo and the Bleacher Bum Eight – a combo that inlcudes Floyd Morris on piano! (Spoken Word, Now Sound)LP, Vinyl record album
This is a pretty jazzy record compared to the usual Mancini soundtrack-type stuff. It's mostly mellow the whole way through and has some very nice moments due to the quality of the playing. His orchestra includes such folks as Pete Condoli on trumpet, Dick Nash on trombone, Johnny Williams on piano ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

An amazing little record – with results that are even greater than the sum of its parts! As you'd guess from the title, Count Basie takes on the 60s sounds of The Beatles – but he's doing so with arrangements from the great Chico O'Farrill – who really keeps things interesting ...

(MGM stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear.)
Groovy batch of instrumental Latin cuts, with a sound that's a mixture of Latin soul and pop 60's instrumentation. Cugie's usual sound isn't that much in place, but that's ok, because tracks like "Thunderball", "Hang On Sloopy", "Tabasco", and "Soul Sauce" ... (Latin, Now Sound)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Forget everything you know about "Raindrops Are Falling On My Head", and give Burt kudos for this gem of an album! Sure, "Raindrops" shows up here a few times – instrumentally, and in 2 BJ Thomas vocal versions – and it's not a bad tune at all. But the real gems ...

Fantastic work by maestro Burt Bacharach – subtle genius, and an album that offers more to us every time we listen to it! Burt's work has been recorded by many – but few ever gave it the kind of treatment that he did – as you'll hear in this brilliant array of sweeping strings, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$3.99
Bud Shank takes on the sounds of The Beatles – and a whole host of other 60s pop stars as well – all with results that are as jazzy as they are groovy!

(Cover has a bit of peeling along the bottom on front, large patches of stuck-on paper on back, and a stuck gatefold.)
Groovy album of instrumentals, conducted by Nelson Riddle for Liberty, in a style that's a lot lighter than some of his earlier instrumental LPs for Capitol. Some of the tracks have a sound that's a bit too "old-timey", but there's lots of nice ones with the kind of banking string style ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Solid gold, circa 1968 – a sweet set that has the guitar of Chet Atkins taking on the big hits of the year – with surprisingly groovy results! The arrangers here are Bill Walker and Cam Mullins, and a number of the tunes get a bit more of a 60s bounce than some of Chet's other records ...

The Ventures were furiously productive in the early 60s – delivering gem after gem – and this is among the best! Telstar is somewhere near the ninth record by the group, offering a dizzying mix of covers of some of the most popular songs of the day. The guitar still leads as the main ...

Here's What's Happening offers up a take on the sound of the young, served up by easy instrumental maestro Floyd Cramer! The mix of modes is surprisingly great – as the flowing, echoey Cramer piano turns towards tunes from some of the hipper corners of the 60s – rock and pop bits that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A set that mixes the tinkling piano of Cramer with some larger, fuller backings from Bill McElhiney – all recorded in RCA's Nashville studios, but with a sound that's very cosmopolitan, save for the occasional honky tonk twinge in Floyd's phrasing. Titles include a nice version of "Spani ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A sweet little date for the AVA label – one that features the tenor and clarinet of Herb Steward set amidst lush strings from Dick Hazard!

Not really "the best", but a pretty nice collection of Denny's early work for Liberty – with a groovy photo on the back that shows him working with the group in action, beating on a big conga, while the rest of the band plays exotic percussion!

Class Of 71 has Floyd Cramer picking up just a bit of rock in his choice of songs – not underground psych, but a range of material from folks like James Taylor, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Brewer & Shipley – mixed in with the sort of tunes you'd be more likely to find on ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Mono black label pressing. Cover has some splitting in the top seam and yellowing from age.)
An album of "thumbtack piano", in which the felt pads have been stuffed with tacks to give the playing a weird tinny sound. In the vein of Ferrante & Teicher, with jazzy arrangements. LP, Vinyl record album
A pretty groovy little record – featuring the String A Long guitar group of early 60s pop fame, recorded with lots of multi-tracking work to make the guitars go bigger, and the sound go wider. As the title implies, they perform a range of hits from around the world – kind of a criss-cro ... (Rock, Now Sound)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Very groovy stuff from Cugie! It's the late 60s, and he's got more of a pop Latin groove than earlier – and lays down some nice peppy covers of pop material, plus a few other Latin standards. Not exactly Latin soul – but not that far off, either. Includes a great version of "Samb ... (Latin, Now Sound)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has some surface wear and aging.)
One of the best early albums by Ferrante & Teicher! The record has less of the studio effects of their Westminster albums – but it does feature some killer firey twin piano pyrotechnics, with the same sort of goofy manipulation of the strings and piano innards as on the Soundproof album. ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
