This is a collection of gospel\/soul standards, and probably my <em>least<\/em> favorite Eydie record.<\/li>\n<li>Eydie Gorme, <em>Eydie<\/em>.  A later 1960s outing.<\/li>\n<li>Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, <em>Two on the Aisle<\/em>.  It&#8217;s a collection of movie themes.  It also contained an extra platter that I didn&#8217;t notice&#8211;I thought it was a two album set.<\/li>\n<li>Steve Lawrence, <em>Portrait of My Love<\/em>.  The aforementioned freebie.<\/li>\n<li>Pete Fountain, <em>Bateau Lounge.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Pete Fountain, <em>Licorice Stick<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Pete Fountain, <em>Music to Turn You On.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sergio Mendes and Brasil &#8217;66, <em>Ye-Me-Le<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>The Crosby Bros, <em>Presenting the Crosby Bros<\/em>.  Bing&#8217;s kids.  They did better backing him up on his various endeavors.<\/li>\n<li>Longines Symphonette <em>Great Vocalists of the Big Band Era<\/em>, a compilation record including Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, and so on.<\/li>\n<li>Linda Ronstadt, <em>Greatest Hits<\/em>.  So that sound was a thing in the 1970s, apparently: Linda Ronstadt and Olivia Newton-John sound a lot alike, as do Claudine Longet and Lynda Carter for that matter.<\/li>\n<li>Linda Ronstadt, <em>Living in the U.S.A.<\/em>.  This 1980s effort features the high and tight curly perm that some women wore in the 1980s.  Me, I&#8217;m still a fan of the big, teased hair, but the tight curls doesn&#8217;t impress me.  Perhaps, Dr. Freud, it&#8217;s because my mother would sometimes get this when one of her friends would give her a makeover and make her look like a zombie with tight curls.<\/li>\n<li>Jackie Gleason, <em>Silk &#8216;n&#8217; Brass<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Sammy Davis, Jr., and Carmen McRae, <em>Boy Meets Girl<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Henry Mancini, <em>Mancini&#8217;s Angels<\/em>, a collection of Mancini&#8217;s later themes.<\/li>\n<li><em>Switched on Bach<\/em>, Bach run through a Moog synthesizer.<\/li>\n<li><em>Bach&#8217;s Head<\/em>, a collection of Bach&#8217;s works apparently targeted to the marijuana using public.<\/li>\n<li><em>Lo Mejor del A\u00f1o<\/em> (1983), a collection of Spanish language pop from 1983.<\/li>\n<li><em>Die Gro\u00dfe Starparade Folge 14<\/em> a collection of (West) German pop from the 1950s.  It sounds like American pop of the era infused with polka and with the vocal tracks run backwards.<\/li>\n<li>A Greek pop album whose name I cannot reproduce for you right now either because I&#8217;m too lazy to rekey it using Greek symbols or because I&#8217;m afraid in doing so I&#8217;ll summon an ancient evil.<\/li>\n<li>Perry Como, <em>No Other Love<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Perry Como, <em>And I Love You So<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Perry Como, <em>Como&#8217;s Golden Records<\/em>.  That&#8217;s what I get for saying you never see Como.  Now I see him everywhere, <em>and I must buy them all.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Roger Wagner Chorus, <em>The Songs of Stephen Foster<\/em>.  I got this one because it was in the sleeve for <em>Perry Como Swings<\/em>, which is one of the first things I picked up.  Somehow, I failed to double-check it, so now I have an extra sleeve for a Como album and an album I would not have otherwise bought.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, not a bad haul.  For free with the gift certificates.  Had I known, I would not have put down the copy of Lee Aaron&#8217;s <em>Metal Queen<\/em> which I put back because I don&#8217;t tend to listen to rock on the turntable, but as the night went on, <em>I vowed to return for it.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my Christmas presents was a gift certificate (well, two) for Relics Antique Mall.
