Hey everybody! I'm on vacation here in Hell A and I thought i'd celebrate the end of JSGuntzel's "Month of the Phonograph Record" by talking about the records I got a few days ago. My uncle's neighbor moved up to Portland and gave him all her vinyl and my brother and I were given free reign to take whatever we wanted. Free vinyl = happy Kate! Here is some of what I scored:Terry Riley: Shri Camel and In C: Finally I have some more Riley vinyl. 
Larry Coryell & Philip Catherine: Twin-House Guitar Duos: I have a huge soft spot for Larry Coryell, who has been described as "the most inventive and original guitarist since Charlie Christian." Erik Satie: Piano Music performed by Aldo Ciccolini. Ciccolini is my favorite interpreter of Satie's music. Ry Cooder: Borderline. Mary Wells' Greatest HitsPatrick Sky: Sky was a folk singer on Vanguard. I haven't listened to this record yet, but if I were to judge it strictly by the record label, it's gonna be good.Staple Singers: Be What You AreDjurdjura: Groupe de Femmes Algeriennes: A pretty well-known Algerian record that got a lot of play on world music shows in the early '80's.Bruno Hoffman: Music for the Glass Harmonica: Hoffman rubs the edges of glasses with his fingers to create music. Need I say more?Itzhak Perlman & John Williams: Violin and Guitar duo.Ike & Tina Turner: River Deep - Mountain High: Oh, Phil Spector, you were once so amazing. Why'd you have to go and commit murder?
The Youngbloods: Earth Music: You can't go wrong with Jesse Colin Young. Well. maybe you can, but this is a fantastic record.I was also given a copy of Fly by Yoko Ono for Xmas by Spencer. It comes with a badass Yoko and John poster.Aaaaaand, I bought this: 
Aluminium is an avant-garde classical music project by Jack White. 10 White Stripes songs done orchestral by a British orchestra. My vinyl copy is #317 of 999. I'm not a huge W.S. fan, but this record is beautifully done. You can hear selections here: http://www.alumiiinium.com/Happy New Year!
