Is there an album that you want on cd but have not been able to

[driver8]

find??

For me, it was Captain Sensible's "The Power of Love" album. It came out in 1983 and I have been looking forever for this to come out on cd. Well, I found a Captain Sensible "Collection" and it includes the entire "Power of Love" album! I received it in the mail today and I am a happy man.

Now, if I could just find T-Bone Burnett's "Proof Through the Night"...

1. Took me forever to track down a box set of Ac/Dc's first 6 albums

That would be the original Australian releases of the Bon Scott era. The first 4 albums are different from the American & European releases (in the tradition of the Beatles & Rolling Stones early albums being butchered by record labels in the 1960's.)

Finally found em though.....

2. Bill Cosby's 200 MPH was finally this year on CD!

From 1968. The release on CD was apparently due to the political punchline of the main act. Whether that's true or not, it is the last of Cosby's sixties comedy albums to transfer to CD.

I remember having this on LP as a child. The first side is mostly fluff, family humor, differences between dogs and cats, etc. The second side is the twenty minute title track. For the longest time the only mp3 I had was ripped from vinyl.

Semi based on a true story, Coz did/does have a love affair with sports cars and Carroll Shelby did in fact build him a custom Cobra with twin Paxton superchargers that delivered over 900bhp. The car terrified Coz to the point that he did eventually get rid of it. I've heard one story that the fellow he sold it to wound up driving it into Lake Tahoe.

Anyway, the comedy bit has the Shelby rep delivering the car to Bill and just taking the car for a spin so terrifies Coz that he gives the keys back to the guy and tells him, ""I want you to take this car, it's all paid for, and I want you to give it to George Wallace!"

"I looked at the speedometer. The speedometer starts at zero and goes all the way up and around to 200 MPH and under the 200 there's still more room and the words, 'Oh Wow!'"

3. I lip-synched that entire side

as an improv bit for my drama class in 8th grade. It never occurred to me until now that the last line was "political" — just that Cosby was expressing a common view of blacks toward Wallace.

(Note: When you lip-synch a 22-minute comedy bit before a bunch of 8th graders, you tend to lose them. The 8-minute "Chicken Heart" went over a whole lot better.)

4. Yep

I didn't know Wallace was a D or R at the time. I was only 9 years old at the time. I only knew he was someone who didn't like black people.

-----------------
The Cobra people, my people, will build a car for you, and I don't want to see you in another Ferrari as long as you live, you understand that?

Yeah? How fast is it gonna go?

It'll do... over 200 miles an hour!

You're kidding!

No sirree Bob, it'll do over 200 miles an hour 'cause I'm having one built for me and it's gonna have automatic shift, you won't have to worry about no clutch. It's 900 horsepower. Four hundred and twenty-seven cubic inches and it'll have dual... everything!

OK, man. Make that car for me!

I'm telling you right now, it's gonna have dual superchargers, gonna have dual horsepower, gonna have dual engines in it, gonna have dual wheels, dual steering wheels, dual glove compartments, everything, dammit, gonna be dual! And you and I, we'll just drive down the highway doing over 200 miles an hour, and loving it.

5. Did you try Amazon.com?

I've found CD's and DVD's there that I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

6. This is Boston, Not LA

Early punk/hardcore compilation, all Boston bands.

7. All of Doll by Doll's albums

Cookin' Vinyl has been promising them for about five years, but they never come out. Plus they have an approved live album that was never released. My vinyl copies are old and worn...particularly their first one, Remember.

For those who have never heard them, think Van Morrison as a punk rocker instead of a jazz/celtic fan. Their singer, Jackie Leven, has a lot of solo stuff out, but it's more folky than anything. Doll by Doll rocked.

8. DON'T LAUGH!

1. The title track to "It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown!" (1984)

2. The soundtrack to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Rare CD copies of this show up on eBay once in a while, but I always get outbid like crazy. However, I actually have a cassette of this, and I know a place where I can send away for a CD copy of it (if I ever get around to it).

B-)

9. I have a cassette with

Elizabethan music - The Battle Royale - that I would love to have on CD. I've never found it however. I'll have to check Amazon again one of these days.

10. "Modern Girls" soundtrack

"Legend" Soundtrack
