Ever Buy an Album, That You Think No One Else Did?

[Paladin1950]

I did it twice. In 1967, I bought a Sonny Bono album called Inner Views. 1966. And 4 years before Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky, was a hit, he was a member of a band called Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band. The single and album was called The Eggplant That Ate Chicago. It was released on Go Go Records.

Yeah, many.
Shel Silverstein, comic folk singer comes to mind, before he became a children's author
Funny stuff.
Mel Brooks original comedy 2000 year old man with Carl Reiner, in 60s. I memorized it.

In 1968 bought album 'A Tramp Shining' because all the songs were written by one of my favorite composers, Jimmy Webb,actor Richard Harris was the singer,and I was a fan of the actor. I know some critics thought he couldn't sing ,I beg to differ. The song' MacArthur Park' is one of the tracks,loved it then still do.. I have the CD bought yrs ago with another Harris album 'My Boy'

I bought an LP album of Russian folk music while in Poland that I am pretty sure not too many folks back home had. Unfortunately, all my old LP’s have disappeared into thin air.

Back in 1973, took a chance on a debut album by Tom Waits.

Didn't cost much and figured it would probably join other 'take a chance' albums in my collection.
After listening to it from start to finish, I heard something I really liked, but didn't think too many
others would agree.

Guess I was wrong. This album is still selling quite well.

DH bought a Pink Floyd album called Ummagumma. He took a chance because Pink Floyd was just starting.

 

[That Lady in PA]

Black Velvet Band: When Justice Came

It remains a favorite, even after all these decades!
