Essential


Glad to score this 8 LP set for $148. I thought it was out of print and I had missed out. My guess is not too many copies are left…. This is tremendous.
Ok this is amazing looking. Thanks for flagging me to its existence.

(Hope you’re feeling well.)





Pricing guy at record store seems not to value Sam Cooke LPs (maybe people in general don’t) so I keep picking them up … in some cases upgrades

Sam Cooke is definitely amongst my very favorites..I don’t care what schlock schmaltz RCA had him singing…. Dude could sing the phone ☎️ 📖 for all I care



My last album of 2021… god I love these guys…


Happy new year folks… all the best for 2022!!



First album of 2022 is a heavyweight

This and Lady Soul are Aretha’s twin masterpieces…



I never listened to the entire album before

It’s a total Zeppelin forgery! But it’s very well done

Whatever happened to Jaguar? Is that an early incarnation of Starsky?

Mental illness. People tried to track her down to check on her and got some weird feedback from the family, IIRC.



Live October 1983 in Vienna.

This is the subsequent US re-release on American Clave the NYC label that would prove instrumental in his last burst of recorded activity

Previously this was released in Europe as live in Vienna 1. I have that too.

Ha. That’s hilarious


I need to read a decent biography of Astor…. I know very little about his life but I understand he was a complicated man

He was actually raised on the streets of NYC!
My nephew just posted the recursive Twitter meme "NO CHEATING your last saved celebrity [pic] is your therapist so who is it?". Not sure I'd want Maestro Piazzolla yelling at me….
I don’t know…he could be very congenial and spoke at least three languages as a native speaker (English, Spanish and Italian).

Add to that his history…he played for Carlos Gardel as a kid in NYC (14 years old!!) and I believe his parents didn’t let him get on the fateful flight to Colombia (that killed Gardel -44- just as he was poised to become a star in the US).

Obviously studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger.

Just an incredible life….

I’d happily have him yell at me….

That's a great business opportunity …Cameo, but you get yelled at and insulted by someone famous
maybe Slameo?

seems that boat has sailed for Astor to profit off this




Ennio has over 400 soundtracks….



Hoping they tour the US in 2022 and play 930.
