She’s Gone

April 12th, 2011 in Rock by lpcoverlover | 1 Comment

Hall and Oates “Abandoned Luncheonette” Atlantic Records (1973) Produced by Arif Martin Hall & Oates second record which includes “She’s Gone” and, maybe my favorite, “Las Vegas Turnaround.” Also here is “When the Morning Comes,” “Had I Known You Better Then,” “Lady Rain,” “I’m Just A Kid,” “Laughing Boy,” and “Every Time I Look At You.” Great studio session players here include Hugh McCracken (Guitar); Bernard Purdie (Drums); Ralph MacDonald (Percussion); Joe Farrell (Oboe, Tenor Sax); and Richard Tee (Piano). I got this record when it came out and it brings back lots of memories. And a cool cover!

Outer Burroughs

April 1st, 2011 in Beatniks, Poetry by lpcoverlover | 1 Comment

CALL ME BURROUGHS (ESP-Disk) Recorded in his instantly recognizable, craggy and clipped mid-western drawl at the English Bookshop, Paris, France in 1965. This first recording by poet, novelist and Beat legend William S. Burroughs includes excerpts from his novels NAKED LUNCH, NOVA EXPRESS and THE SOFT MACHINE. In the Seventies and Eighties, Burroughs recorded a number of solo projects, in addition to collaborating with everyone from John Cale and Laurie Anderson to Tom Waits and Kurt Cobain.

“The excerpts follow the exploits of junkies, prostitutes, doctors, and others as they move through grisly underworlds without concern for the borders between reality and hallucination. By turns, they are blackly funny and deeply sinister, often within the same piece.”
