Unimpressed

Give it up, guys, she's clearly...unimpressed. ;) But I am, as these guys are great!

I like it when liner notes by comedic acts are actually funny! :)

I love this part from the credits...

Was she on loan from his stable, if you will? :p

Since, yet again, I can't link to the Homer & Jethro video I wanted to ("Nashville Cats" with Johnny Cash, here), here's another (which is better, actually!):

"The Battle of Kookamonga"

More info on this fun, funny duo here. :)

Ronco's Walt Disney

Cool beans, Ronco!

Nice cover! I doubt it was made just for this compilation, but still. I only have 2 of the original 8 cutouts and no lyric sheet. Still, to have 2 of the cutouts from a kiddie album after all this time is impressive, in a way.

There are the cutouts. Kinda neat to see the two elephants on the back, as you'd usually only see main characters. (well, I only think of Dumbo from the movie, anyway...) There's a cat from The Aristocats, too. I can't remember if I've seen it. 

Great selection! But what is this Song of the South? ;) I have this weird feeling like some 'powers that be' are trying to withold it from people... (but seriously, I saw it at the movie theater in 1986 during its final run)

I guess the kid that had this album before me pretty much ignored this warning. :p

Update, Dec. 10, 2017: At the bottom of this post, I originally linked to Song of the South in its entirety on YouTube. Unsurprisingly, it's long gone. If you really want to see it, it's still out there, even if you have to watch bits and pieces of it from different users.

Do not adjust your set...

...the cover really is this blurry!

Well, at least the text is clear. Perhaps the blurriness is part of the illusion? Get it? The Illusion? Because they're called...oh, nevermind.

Varying levels of clarity on the back of this, their second album. They look like members of the Joan Jett fan club. (or vice-versa?) Heh. More info on the band here and here. It may not be a coincidence that I got this album by this Long Island band from the same stack as my album by The Good Rats, also from Long Island. Hmm...maybe there's a New Yorker in my town.

Here's their biggest hit, "Did You See Her Eyes":

Very cool! :D

And here's the opening track to this album, "How Does it Feel?":

The lads dig Cheryl!

Sorry, bad pun. :p

Yep, the lovely (some might say angelic...sorry, another pun) Cheryl Ladd had an album. :) Actually, she had a few.

Disappointingly plain back cover.

The interior sleeve featured a picture of her on each side...

I cannot get blogger to put the proper video here no matter what I try (why?!), so click here for the video to the opening track "Think it Over", her biggest hit. She's even wearing the same jacket as on the cover!

Here's another track, "Skinnydippin'":

More info on Cheryl at her official site here.

Kneel before ZON!

  When I saw this cover, I was hoping it was prog rock, or at least hard rock. Well, I'm happy to say that it's both! :) (and their old MySpace page calls them "pomp" rock.)

Tribute to Paul McCartney, perhaps?

 Fun covers front and back with this one. :) Apparently, the front cover was photographed at the Ontario Science Centre. Maybe the back was too. I've been there several times. Great place!

Here's the opening track, "Circus":

Man, that tone is so...Boston! I love it. :)

More info on the band here and here.

K-tel's Star Tracks

That had to be one of the coolest covers they did. I like the 'make the object into a vehicle' idea, as shown in my previous post about Ronco's "Super-Sonic" album. Imagine if Deep Space Nine had looked like that. :p

Typical plain Jane K-tel back, but that's okay. The cover [almost] always made up for it.

Jim Henson galore!

You can tell by the cover that there's gonna be a good variety! The Mupper Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and Mupper Babies all represented. :)

Yes indeed, this collection does not disappoint! Always nice to see Joe Raposo in the credits. :)
