The endless list of left field, well-known, obscure, and just plain fun to listen to over a good system -records that may deliver better sonics and often better music than expected- off the radar as well as the big hits. Cheap to find, and usually not collectible.

If somebody had told me I was now buying old Iron Maiden records, I would tell them to institutionalize me. But the Number of the Beast, mastered by Wally T. is en route, along with a copy of what I would call post-modern 'retro-lounge' music by a DJ who uses the moniker Nightmares on Wax, album entitled "In A Space Outa Sound." (recently reissued and cheap from the original label, Warp Records).

How about this? Allen Perkins turned me onto this album many, many years ago!

How about the Iron Butterfly meets early Deep Purple, with jazz influences as a "prog" album? Captain Beyond. The early copies had a 3-d lenticular cover. Cool record. The drummer was also an ass kicker.Comment

Never liked the Studio albums much when compared to the early live albums...which had much more energy. Alive 2 being my favorite. -
Last time I had my copy of double platinum out I marveled how mint the chrome cover was and how pristine the two Lps looked, then my euphoria was shattered when I discovered all four sides played distorted as if the record had been played once with a worn out "needle" at a high tracking force !
BUMMER!

I listened to Ghost Writer by Garland Jeffreys in college. If I remember correctly, it got pretty good reviews in Rolling Stone. I also had his album Escape Artist. 96 Tears had some airplay on FM radio. I have not listened to either in a long time. Wasn't Jim Capaldi with Traffic? I do not remember any of his solo stuff off the top of my head.

We aren't limited to guilty pleasures, i.e. the records that you are almost embarrassed to admit you like, but wide open on standard issue stuff that is musically (and perhaps sonically) amazing. I was a huge fan of Bonnie Raitt in the early days, I put on Streetlights last night, forgot how good that record is- not only for her amazing rendition of Angel from Montgomery, but for other tracks as well.Comment

One of the first hard rockin' albums I owned at age 11 or 12 was Kiss Alive I, the fact my siblings hated it made me like it more. I finally saw them in '96 for their reunion tour, with a lot of trepidation I must say. The show was great I didn't think Id have that much fun.Last edited by Rob; 03-11-2016, 12:03 PM.Comment

Sound not so great but always loved the music!
Anyone remember The Vapors New Clear Days? The album had the hit (only one?) song "Turning Japanese!" But NCD had a couple of other great songs too!

Another album, actually CD, that is a guilty pleasure. Besides Linda Perry, 4NB featured guitarist Dan Schwartz who also wrote for TAS and IIRC Stereophile at one time. I think that Dan is also writing for Positive Feedback currently. Dan also played on Sheryl Crow's first album but that's another story why he and the group left Sheryl and formed 4NBs.
