i discovered tropicalia in the '80s reading shanachie records catalogue review for "estrangiero". got the cassette and that was that. great album, and partly in english.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Brian in UK:

The Chiffons singing My Sweet Lord is funny & understandable.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
coelacanth∅:

...those shanachie catalogues were great for that. very honest and nearly non-biased reviews. i bought hundreds of albums from them every year or 2 in the 80s & 90s, mostly stuff i'd never heard before
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Funky16Corners:

I have a version My Sweet Lord that by the Belmonts (minus Dion) that mixes in some of the source material...

Thanks Andrew, I will, one of these days...I really needed to be alone the last couple of years, just kind of fed up....but I need to get out more, no doubt about it. And it's refreshing to talk to people who know and care about music which, for the most part, other than here, I don't have.

Pat Boone covering Tim Buckley, you say!?!

Tried to enjoy Tim Buckley but he was one of the Elektra roster that eluded me.

Bizarre to hear Boone singing this Buckley song.

@Brian - Dig the next few songs, from his first album, much more folk rock than his other stuff
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:49pm

The Pat Boone album is wild. I'll talk about it during the break.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:49pm

I recall buying my copy of Goodbye and Hello from the aforementioned Bert, coincidentally.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:50pm

Tim was huge at Vortex.

Andrew in Toronto:

The wild Pat Boone lp sounds confounding.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:52pm

It is, and he never did anything remotely like it again
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:03pm
Brian in UK:

Jac Holzman on Tim Buckley's Goodbye & Hello "I listened to it over & over. If I was down I would play it & it would lift me. And as an artist to sign - so gifted, so original, the talent & vision still unfolding".
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:04pm
Funky16Corners:

Buckley gets very intense and melodramatic at times, but I've come to like his stuff a lot over the years, with a couple of exceptions. I dig that first LP a lot
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:08pm
Brian in UK:

Kind of hearing Harry Chapin especially with the arrangements.

There has been no end of tribute, in general, to The Hollies on WFMU, and small wonder. Gaylord is a massive fan. Bob Irwin (Big Planet Noise) also a huge champion of The Hollies. I won't go on...
