What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
For me, it's a CD titled "Kashmir: The Symphonic Led Zeppelin".
Yes, it's Led Zeppelin songs played by The London Philharmonic Orchestra.
It's actually quite interesting, to me anyways. For a review and sampling the music, see:
So, what's the oddballs in your collections?
@toddsyr the wikipedia description is correct! |
I've a 'sampler' CD of various Houston bands received at a street festival, mostly ok stuff, no stand-outs but... One is a 'bluesy' sort of thing, reminiscent of 'Cocaine' in it's rambling way. It's hidden 'surprise' is that it 'skips back' randomly, much like a LP, but it stays within the song itself. You can play it for hours....the skip can be a few seconds, a minute +/-, no real pattern.... Literally, this song goes on potentially forever until your player breaks or a power fail. No visible damage or dirt, I've checked. I've thought of putting it on during the later part of a good-sized party as background sound .... to see if anyone would notice... |
16” and 20” transcription records. I’ve collected a few hundred over the years. They are transcription discs the DJ’s use to - among other things - have enough time to go to the bathroom I imagine. Some are V- Discs, some are live, and some are just a few songs per side with commercials. Always fun to put on a 20” record - make you feel like your shrinking. |
*"the portsmith sinfonia" "plays" the classics" [more like slays 'em, as on this record each player picked up the next player's instrument and tried their best with it, with predictable results. *"shut yo mouth" - major holley and slam stewart pair up on their respective double basses, major effects a basso profundo growl in pitch unison with his string bass, while slam sings an octave above his. *an audio cassette given me by a psych drug rep at the hospital i worked at, "the sounds of mental illness" complete with a listener caution. |
