 Playing a Piece of History
So I'm out at Half Priced Books tonight doing some sound-design grazing for an Agatha Christie play as well as another mystery in that genre... I'm picking through Shostakovich Violin Concertos and SEARCHING for Manolis Kalomiris (good luck, right... I ended up going to Itunes after all)... but after spending anytime near old vinyl, I inevitably wander over to the swing and lounge section (what I scrunched my nose up 'easy listening' when I was a teen has now, like a plate of freshly opened pickled herring in cream sauce, become an acquired taste)...
I find among the Enoch Light, Jackie Gleason, Les Baxter and Henry Mancini - an unopened Joe Harnell Bossa Nova Pops LP from 1963 completely sealed in original shrink wrap for 3 bucks!
I had to get it...
It was his sequel to "Fly me to the Moon" and had a bossa nova version of "I wish you Love" and "Dancing on the Ceiling"... oh yes... worth 3 bucks right there baby...
I got it home... fixed myself a double dirty with extra olives (stirred) and cut it open... Ahhhhh... nothin like Virgin Vinyl. No scratches... only some specks and slivers from when they drilled the hole... And I'm the first to put a stylus in it's grooves aver 45 years...
Like Butter, Dad... butter...
Holy Smokes... got to get back to the Shostakovich... Director needs a preview disc tomorrow...
But priorities first... right... 'night |
