Bobby & I
LP (Item 636410) Imperial, Early 70s — Condition: Very Good+
A pretty strange and groovy vocal duet – the team of Bobby and Ken Fishler – a pair who sing together in a style that's somewhere between late 60s work by Jackie & Roy, or Vicki Hamilton & Dave MacKay. The difference here is that Bobby and Ken aren't afraid to head for some more freewheeling and slightly goofy material – straying from the straight jazz mode that other groups like this might use, and going into poppish territory that's got plenty of nice touches. Arrangements are by Ken, with backings by Tommy Oliver – and the overall style is somewhere in the vein of A&M pop mixed with San Francisco vocals – a bit dreamy, a bit groovy, not afraid to take chances with unusual material. Ken wrote a good deal of the songs on the album, making it a fresh departure from the usual vocal bag – and the album includes plenty of numbers that fall in the Cafe Apres Midi mode. Titles include "Ben Lomand Lament", "5:09", "Best Of Both Worlds", "Sweet Talkin Guy", "The Traffic Song", "Afternoon Sky", "Michael From Mountains", "Everyone's Gone To The Moon", and "Love Is For The Sharing". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Very Good + (plus)
- Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
- Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
- Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
- This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
- May have slight surface noise when played.
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.
