Dennis Weaver - McCloud Country (1975) (Vinyl Lp) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Billy Dennis Weaver(June 4, 1924 – February 24, 2006) was an American actor and president of the Screen Actors Guild, best known for his work in television and films from the early 1950s until just before his death in 2006. 

Weaver's two most famous roles were as Marshal Matt Dillon's deputy Chester Goode on the western Gunsmoke and as Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on the police drama McCloud. 

Weaver was also a recording artist, with most of his tracks being spoken-word recordings with musical accompaniment. 

He released several singles and albums between 1959 and 1984, most notable of which was his eponymous Im'press Records LP in 1972, the cover of which featured a portrait of Weaver in character as McCloud; it was the first of seven albums he recorded.

While Weaver is universally remembered for playing the horseback-riding New Mexico Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud, this 10-track vinyl LP serves as a rare time capsule of his parallel career as a country music recording artist. 

The album was produced by Marty Cooper and features top-tier arrangements by legendary pianist Larry Muhoberac, utilizing legendary studio musicians like drummer Hal Blaine and guitarist James Burton

The album consists of spoken-word storytelling mixed with traditional 1970s country-pop orchestration:

• Vocal Style: Reviewers and collectors note that Weaver does not possess a powerful singing voice; instead, he relies heavily on his infectious, folksy, slow-talking Western drawl. 

The tracks lean into his natural charm, offering a comforting "down-home" vibe reminiscent of an Andy Griffith style of musical delivery.

• Instrumentation Excellence: While Weaver’s vocals are modest, the album shines musically due to its production. 

The backing instrumentation is incredibly tight, courtesy of the A-list studio players involved, blending smooth pedal steel, harmonicas, and crisp guitar lines that elevate the material beyond standard celebrity vanity projects

Eagles - The Long Run (1979) (Vinyl Lp) - €10,00

The Long Run is the sixth studio album by American rock group the Eagles. 

It was released in 1979 by Asylum Records in the United States and the United Kingdom. 

This was the first Eagles album to feature bassist Timothy B. Schmit, who had replaced founding member Randy Meisner, and the last full studio album to feature Don Felder before his termination from the band in 2001.

This was the band's final studio album for Asylum Records. 

It also turned out to be their last studio album during their original tenure, as the Eagles disbanded in 1980; even though they reunited in 1994, they did not release another studio album until 2007's Long Road Out of Eden.

Three singles were released from the album, "Heartache Tonight", "The Long Run", and "I Can't Tell You Why". "Heartache Tonight" reached No. 1 on the singles chart and won a Grammy Award. 

Three years in the making (which was considered an eternity in the '70s), the Eagles' follow-up to the massively successful, critically acclaimed Hotel California.

"Heartache Tonight" was an old-fashioned rock & roll song sung by Glenn Frey, while "I Can't Tell You Why" was a delicate ballad by Timothy B. Schmit, the band's newest member. Only "The Long Run," a conventional pop/rock tune with a Stax Records R&B flavor, bore the stamp and vocal signature of Don Henley, who had largely taken the reins of the band on Hotel California. 

Henley also dominated The Long Run, getting co-writing credits on nine of the ten songs, singing five lead vocals, and sharing another two with Frey. 

This time around, however, Henley's contributions were for the most part painfully slight. Only "The Long Run" and the regret-filled closing song, "The Sad Café," showed any of his usual craftsmanship. 

The album was dominated by second-rank songs like "The Disco Strangler," "King of Hollywood," and "Teenage Jail" that sounded like they couldn't have taken three hours much less three years to come up with. 

(Joe Walsh's "In the City" was up to his usual standard, but it may not even have been an Eagles recording, having appeared months earlier on the soundtrack to The Warriors, where it was credited as a Walsh solo track.)

Yazoo - You And Me Both (1983) (Vinyl, Lp) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"You and Me Both" is the second and final studio album by British synthpop duo Yazoo (known in North America as Yaz), released on Mute Records (on Sire Records in North America) in July 1983. 

The album's title was an ironic reference to the fact that the duo had grown estranged from each other and recorded much of the album separately; they announced their split a few weeks before the album's release.

You and Me Both gave the group a "posthumous" number one record in Britain and New Zealand, and reached number 69 in the US. Singer Alison Moyet would soon begin a successful solo career, while Vince Clarke formed the short-lived project The Assembly with Yazoo's producer Eric Radcliffe before going on to greater and long-lasting success with the synthpop duo Erasure.

Despite the tense atmosphere between the duo, Moyet said the only serious argument she and Clarke had during recording of the album was over the song "Happy People", which she refused to sing. 

She told The Quietus in 2011, "There are just some places you can't go, I tried singing that song a couple of times but I couldn't genuinely bring anything to it so I wouldn't do it. 

But that's the only time I ever refused a song." As a result, Clarke ended up singing on the track, the only Yazoo song on which he sings lead vocals. 

Clarke said that "Happy People" was written about the Liberal Party of which his mother had just become a member, but he declined to say whether the song was in support or against the party. 

"Unmarked" represents a rare excursion for Yazoo from the topic of love, although Clarke would only say it was "about war".

Speaking about her own compositions Moyet said, "I think some of the songs are personal, but a lot of it is just imagination, I look at other people and put myself in their shoes". 

For example, "Nobody's Diary" was written when she was 16 and had yet to experience a real relationship. 

Of "Ode to Boy" she said, "[it] started being of someone I knew, but ended up being more of a poetic exercise". 

Moyet later re-recorded the track for her 1994 album Essex in a more acoustic style, which she explained was more consistent with how she envisioned the song to have sounded when she originally wrote it. 

The album's closing track, "And On", is "about death. It came after talking to different friends who had lost somebody close to them. 

It's saying that it is better for a young person to die like this than being a vegetable. He might have died young, but he had a good life."

The song "Mr. Blue" was covered by Dutch singer René Klijn in early 1993. 

Suffering from AIDS at the time, Klijn wanted the single to be his musical testament before he died. 

The song went to number one in the Netherlands for six weeks in April/May 1993, and became the biggest-selling single of the year. Klijn died a few months later on 5 September 1993.

Gheorghe Zamfir / London Symphony Orchestra - Rocking-Chair (1981) (Vinyl Lp) - €5,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Gheorghe Zamfir (Romanian pronunciation: born April 6, 1941) is a Romanian nai (pan flute) musician.

Zamfir is known for playing an expanded version of normally 20-pipe nai, with 22, 25, 28 or even 30 pipes, to increase its range, and obtaining as many as eight overtones (additional to the fundamental tone) from each pipe by changing his embouchure. 

He is known as "The Master of the Pan Flute".

The album *Rocking-Chair* (1981) by pan-flute player Gheorghe Zamfir and the London Symphony Orchestra is a unique crossover record that blends classical orchestral elements with light jazz, pop, and electronic influences.

About the Album and Music | Artists: Gheorghe Zamfir (pan flute) & London Symphony Orchestra | Conductor: Karl-Heinz Schäfer | 

Personnel: Features contributions from renowned session musicians such as Herbie Flowers (bass) and Allan Parker (guitar). | Label & Year: Philips (LP, 1981) | Genre: Easy listening, modern classical, light pop/jazz

Style and Sound: Unlike Zamfir's strictly traditional Romanian folk or purely classical recordings, Rocking-Chair leans heavily into a mellow, middle-of-the-road pop-orchestral and light jazz fusion sound. 

The backing band features prominent studio musicians like bassist Herbie Flowers (known for his work with David Bowie and Lou Reed), giving the tracks a smooth, rhythmic, and contemporary groove behind Zamfir's soaring panpipes.

Critical Standing: While it lacks formal high-profile contemporary reviews in major mainstream music magazines, collector consensus rates it as a fascinating, relaxing oddity in Zamfir's massive discography. 

It highlights his transition during the early 1980s into Western popular arrangements, blending lush symphonic textures with soft-rock instrumentation.

Air Supply - Now And Forever (1982) (Vinyl Lp) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"Now and Forever" is the seventh studio album by British-Australian soft rock group Air Supply, released in 1982. 

It peaked at No. 25 on the US charts, and it reached at No. 1 on the Japanese (Oricon International Albums Chart).

The album contains the hit "Even the Nights Are Better" (#5), along with the minor hits "Young Love" (#38) and "Two Less Lonely People in the World" (#38).

Air Supply have always been a great duo and if you are into ballads, this is the best you’d ever get. 

This album ‘Now and Forever’ is the soft rock band’s seventh studio album. 

It was the band's last platinum album in America, and their last album to continue the band's successful popularity.

The album contains the hits Even the Nights Are Better, along with Young Love and Two Less Lonely People in the World which believe me is one of their best songs of all time. 

There’s also favorites like Now and Forever, Come What May and many others. N

ot all of the songs were necessarily big hits, but nearly all of them were at least pleasant and on vinyl surely you’d be impressed by the overall sound quality.

Air Supply  consisting of Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell is at their best bringing a heavy dose of very sincere and melodic pop. 

Most of the compositions sound as a whole, with a few songs that have become legendary and emotional, in this case these are the most famous Even The Nights Are Better, #2 billboard hit, its one of Air Supply most memorable songs and one that fits into pop masterpieces, it keeps a very little disco feeling and one of their best romantic features, while Two Less Lonely People In The World peaked at #13, its one of their most melodic songs with a feeling very close to Lost In Love, This song also makes for a superb wedding anthem. 

Apart from these two, the remaining songs still have a punch like the orchestral Young Love which became a minor hit, while Taking The Chance and the soaring Come What May are the minor hits.

Ballad after ballad, and some of the most melodic music ever, this is Air Supply. The harmonies are fantastic, the singing is phenomenal. 

Listen to Russel Hitchcock as he reaches the high, powerful notes in the gorgeous She never heard me call and the gorgeous melody and guitars in What kind of Girl.

In spite of its age, this copy of the album is in pristine condition, it brings so many memories of my younger days. 

One of the most beautiful albums of all time, I’d say. 

I just love every chord of every song on this album. The tracks are no less wonderful, there isn't a downer amongst the lot. 

Some may claim it is boring, uninspired and routine stuff, but I’d say Air Supply sing wonderfully and do what they’re doing amazingly well. No experimentation here, just sublime melodies and heart touching songs.

Bourgeois Tagg - Yoyo (1987) (Vinyl Lp) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Bourgeois Tagg was an American pop rock band headed by Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg and featuring guitarist Lyle Workman, drummer Michael Urbano, and keyboardist Scott Moon. 

The band is most remembered for their hit song "I Don't Mind at All" from their 1987 album Yoyo.

In 1987, the five members of Bourgeois Tagg recorded Yoyo with producer Todd Rundgren. 

The album reached a respectable number 84 on the Top Pop Albums chart.

This is a fun little record -- and unfortunately the last for this group with hot, catchy songwriting not too over the top with '80s cliché. 

Clever wordplay is a strong point in their songwriting -- akin to Elvis Costello without all the sarcasm. Not a weak song here -- every song is loaded with smart pop hooks and intelligent lyrics -- the only weak point coming with the use of the name "Frankie" as the character in an otherwise fantastic song "15 Minutes in the Sun." 

Single "I Don't Mind at All" is very pretty, with syncopated rhythms, string arrangements, and great acoustic guitar work by Lyle Workman. Great closing number -- "Coma" -- has an unexpected, almost transcendental ending. 

The listener also finds nice percussion work on "What's Wrong With This Picture" -- a sad song about infidelity. 

One of the finest examples of '80s power pop one is likely to find.

The first single gave the band had what would prove to be their biggest hit: "I Don't Mind at All", written by Workman and Bourgeois. 

The song is an acoustic ballad that is called "phenomenally pretty" and "achingly sad" by English music critic James Masterton, who proffered that its "shimmering string section" harked to classic Beatles songs such as "Yesterday" and "Across the Universe" and placed "its heart and soul firmly in the 1960s". 

In 2024, reviewer Sobsey called it "the showstopper" of the album and "the 'inevitable song'—a simple, plaintive, folkish breakup ballad built around [Workman's] acoustic guitar track" that "adds decorative percussion and deftly incorporated strings" as it progresses. 

He notes that "nearly four decades since it hit the airwaves, [it] still sounds like the from-the-heart classic it seemed like it would be in 1987."

The follow-up single "Waiting for the Worm to Turn" (the first single with a lead vocal by Tagg) failed to chart in the U.S., as did the third single "Cry Like a Baby".

Noel Coward - Noel Coward At Las Vegas (1955) (Vinyl Lp) - €7,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Sir Noël Peirce Coward (16 December 1899 – 26 March 1973) was an English playwright, composer, director, actor, and singer, known for his wit, flamboyance, and what Time called "a sense of personal style, a combination of cheek and chic, pose and poise".

Coward attended a dance academy in London as a child, making his professional stage début at the age of eleven. 

As a teenager he was introduced into the high society in which most of his plays would be set. 

Coward achieved enduring success as a playwright, publishing more than 50 plays from his teens onwards. 

Many of his works, such as Hay Fever, Private Lives, Design for Living, Present Laughter, and Blithe Spirit, have remained in the regular theatre repertoire. 

He composed hundreds of songs, in addition to well over a dozen musical theatre works (including the operetta Bitter Sweet and comic revues), screenplays, poetry, several volumes of short stories, the novel Pomp and Circumstance, and a three-volume autobiography. 

Coward's stage and film acting and directing career spanned six decades, during which he starred in many of his own works, as well as those of others.

During the summer of 1955, Noel Coward, that doyen of English style, made a splash in Las Vegas, that flashiest of resort towns. 

Coward's one-month engagement at Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn sparked a mass exodus from Hollywood to his standing-room-only performances, by celebrities ranging from Humphrey Bogart to Frank Sinatra. 

Columbia head Goddard Lieberson soon headed to Nevada as well (with recording equipment in tow), and Coward, while fighting a touch of flu in the 116-degree heat, delivered one of his finest performances in front of the microphones. 

What amazes about Coward's show is his ability to convey with no detectable effort all of the nimble diction and convivial grace necessary to perform these intricate songs in a live setting -- not a syllable out of place, not a line delivered but with ease and precision. 

And contrary to assumption, Coward did in fact share much with his audience; he leaves his audience absolutely cackling in glee at the English stuffed shirts who populate his comic pieces "Uncle Harry," "A Bar on the Piccola Marina" (written quite recently), and, of course, his classic "Mad Dogs and Englishmen." 

A vocal masterpiece, Noel Coward at Las Vegas is without doubt the master's finest appearance on record.

The Dream Academy - Remembrance Days (1987) (Vinyl Lp) - €7,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"Remembrance Days" is the second album by the British band the Dream Academy. 

Not as successful as the band's 1985 self-titled debut, the album peaked at number 181 in the United States.

The lyrics and music for "The Lesson of Love" was written in just two four-hour sessions at Patrick Leonard's home. 

Nick Laird-Clowes was inspired to write "In Exile" after reading an article in The Village Voice on Rodrigo Rojas.

Hugh Padgham (Genesis, the Police) came on board to produce the band with frontman Nick Laird-Clowes, resulting in a more glossy sheen to much of the material. 

"Indian Summer" kicks things off, and while echoing the wistfulness and even incorporating a chant-like chorus similar to their massive hit "Life in a Northern Town," it fails to impress in a similar manner. 

"Here" is a lovely, understated ballad that concludes with a flourish and Kate St. John playing oboe, and "Ballad in 4/4" is a Beatlesque tale of infidelity featuring Laird-Clowes adding harmonica. 

"Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" was originally recorded with Hugh Padgham handling production, although record producer Lenny Waronker suggested that the band work with Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham to finish the song in Los Angeles. 

Upon hearing the demo, Buckingham commented that the song was reminiscent of material from The Beatles White Album, an assessment that Laird-Clowes agreed with. 

Buckingham ultimately rebuilt the song from the ground up and also worked with the band on "Indian Summer", which became the lead single off Remembrance Days.

The instrumental version of "Power To Believe" appeared in the 1987 film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, however the film's official soundtrack album contained the full vocal version.

Joe Egan - Out Of Nowhere (1979) (Vinyl Lp) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Joseph Egan (18 October 1946 – 6 July 2024) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. 

Along with Gerry Rafferty, Egan was one of the two main members of the folk rock band Stealers Wheel, and co-writer of their hit song "Stuck in the Middle with You".

Egan was born into an Irish Catholic family in Paisley in Renfrewshire, Scotland. 

Along with former St Mirin's Academy schoolmate Gerry Rafferty, he played in various smaller British bands, such as The Sensors and The Maverix, and worked as a session musician.

Subsequently, the band had a few smaller successes, such as the Egan-penned song "Star", but stagnating sales figures and artistic differences finally led to the band's break-up in 1975.

Egan's first solo album, Out of Nowhere, released in 1979, produced "Back on the Road", a turntable hit on British radio.

Produced by David Courtney (best known for his work with Leo Sayer), 1979's "Out of Nowhere" was worth the wait. 

The result was a record that's overflowing with charm. 

I'll readily admit it took awhile for me to recognize the set's charms, but once I did, they hit me like a ton of bricks. 

That said, a word of warning - this isn't in-your-face rock. In fact, it makes much of the Stealers Wheel catalog look like heavy metal. 

Propelled by Egan's dry voice (which I've always thought was one of Stealers Wheel's strengths), exemplified by material like 'Back On the Road', 'Ask No Favours' and 'Pride' (with a killer dobro solo) the collection showcased a low-keyed charm that blended Egan's reflective lyrics, pop sensibilities, and some of the year's prettiest melodies. 

Occasionally almost pastoral, it made for a great record to sit back and relax with ('No Time for Sorrow' was a country-flavored song I actually liked). 

Ironically the atypical rockers 'Why Let It Bother You' and 'Leaving It All Behind' (which may have been a swipe at ex-partner Rafferty), were also the best songs on the album.

Luisa Fernandez - Spanish Dancer (1979) (Vinyl Lp) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Luisa Fernández (born 14 August 1961) is a Spanish-born, Mexico-based pop singer. 

She is perhaps best known for her hit single, "Lay Love on You" from 1978.

She was born in Vigo, Spain, but moved to México as a child.

She later married singer/producer Peter Kent, who was also popular during the disco era.

Singer Luisa Fernandez was discovered in 1977 during a talent contest at a German discotheque.

She released a debut album that clearly capitalized on the prevailing disco craze.

The album, titled *Discodarling*, yielded two hits in the Netherlands. 

"Lay Love On You" reached number three on the charts, but its follow-up, "Give Love A Second Chance," peaked at number seventeen.

Fernandez went on to record a second disco album titled *Spanish Dancer*, but when the disco craze faded, her brief career seemed doomed.

Musical Style: The record features upbeat, infectious disco grooves, soaring vocals, and juicy hooks backed by lush strings, horns, and rhythm arrangements.

Vibe: Reviewers note that it captures the classic late-1970s European disco era alongside contemporaries like Donna Summer and Boney M, balancing high-energy dance numbers with softer, emotional melodic tracks.

She disappeared from the public eye for several years, but new material emerged in 1987.

Together with producer and singer Peter Kent, she recorded the single "Solo Por Ti," which reached number one in Austria.

She remained popular there—alongside Kent, with whom she also shared a personal connection—and scored several more top-20 hits in the years that followed.
