David Bowie - Heroes (1977) - Side A

No disrespect to the synth instrumentals that dominate Side B, as "V-2 Schneider" is one of Bowie's best, or the drum-heavy "Secret Life of Arabia", either. The songs on side A are deeply layered, offering some of the strongest collaborations from Eno-Bowie; I would opt for this over Low's A-side, anyday.

Gerry Rafferty - City to City (1978) - Side A

A near-perfect side filled with solid song writing and radio favorites: "The Ark", "Baker Street", "Right Down the Line", "City to City" & "Stealin' Time".

Van Morrison - St. Dominics Preview (1972) - Side B

Both sides of this album are enjoyable, however, side b offers a trio of oustanding songs that reflect his time spent living and recording in Northern California: the inspired "St. Dominic's Preview", the sublime "Redwood Tree" & the epic "Almost Independence Day".]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:54:17 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/incrediblystrange/blog/entry/Vinyl-Reflector-Favorite-Album-Sides http://www.fuzz.com/fan/incrediblystrange/blog/entry/My-Favorite-Halloween-Vinyl http://www.fuzz.com/fan/incrediblystrange/blog/entry/My-Favorite-Halloween-Vinyl#comments
"Disney's Haunted Mansion" was an LP that featured a narrative of a boy and a girl attempting to escape from the Haunted Mansion; the voice of the boy was performed by Ron Howard. The sound effects and story were quite compelling, especially on head-phones.

"Ronco's Funky Favorites" featured such classics as Monster Mash, Purple People Eater & Shimmy Shimmy Coco Bop. Great, cornball favorites.

"Halloween" soundtrack by John Carpenter - the synth soundtrack effected me in a weird way as a child. A high creep factor.

"Bad Music for Bad People" by The Cramps - Very short disc filled with b-side howlers and has since been replaced in my Halloween rotation with the live & rare double disc "How to Make a Monster".]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 15:30:28 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/incrediblystrange/blog/entry/My-Favorite-Halloween-Vinyl
