Make MP3s from my LPs

Everytime you go away ….

This is a great album. I used to listen to it over and over. I think I like it so much because it’s fun to sing to.

This is another benefit concert for Amnesty International. This one has Sting doing “Roxanne” and “Message in a Bottle”, Phil Collins doing “In the Air Tonight” and “The Roof is Leaking, Bob Geldof doing “I Don’t Like Mondays” and some songs by Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Donovan. At the end, they all get together and sing a song together.

Not my favorite of Barry’s albums, but it does have “Mandy,” and that song tugs at my heart. Come to think of it, I’m not sure I have a favorite Barry album. I think I just like individual songs.

Need to make space for it and get it set up!

I combined some credits and coupons and the gift certificate from work, and was going to go pick it up today, but Circuit City doesn’t have the highly rated inexpensive one that I wanted, so I ordered it online. Only cost about $25 out of pocket, with free shipping.

I’m looking at my record collection with increased longing, and thinking of the fun I’ll have putting together a collection of my 45s!! I may have to do the 45s first so I can send my friend (since kindergarten) a compilation for her birthday on August 11!!

This was my Mom’s album. I hated Nat King Cole when I was a kid. Now I like some of the songs. He has a smooth voice.

My birthday was in January, but we were 80% laid off because of the writers’ strike at the time. So we’re celebrating it this week, and everyone chips in on a gift certificate. I have some credit earned by using a CC credit card and a discount coupon, so I think I’ll be able to do this without much cash outlay!

This is the musical soundtrack from a charity event to benefit Amnesty International from 1979. It features Pete Townshend, Tom Robinson, Neil Innes and John Williams. Back before laser discs came out, there was another kind of disc you could get movies on. My dad bought that set up, and I had the movie version of this event that I watched over and over. I think I wore out the disc.

This was my Mom’s album. She LOVED Barbra Streisand. I like her. I like to sing along with her on some songs. Like “All is Fair in Love.” When they re-released this album later, they renamed it “The Way We Were”, but I have the original self-titled one.
