Title: 12 October 2006--it's...a 1977 classic
Post by: urth on October 12, 2006, 09:57:30 AM

No set for Jim, as I have a 10am meeting. Have fun here or in PDX, whereever the stream takes you. (I'll fix the year in the subject after I get back, 'k?)

well, '77 ain't a bad choice at all... even if we do start with Crapton (I was fully expecting '90s today).

Once again, we're getting a classic from a year we visited just 3 weeks ago. But hey, "Watcha Gonna Do?"

While this EC LP came out in Nov '77, neither this single nor "Wonderful Tonight charted until '78.

It actually sounds a lot better now than it did in 77.  I'm pretty sure I was bored to tears then.  But now..well, it's nostalgic, anyway.

BOS3 Styx!!! Cheeze for your coffee break.  Nice segue from the Elvis-is-dead tape.

Regarding the "Grand Illusion", he said "come and see the show."  Does this pre-date (or post-date) ELP's "Karn Evil #9"?  (I know I could look this up myself...)

This is either (1) epic, (2) very overblown and pretentious, or (3) all of the above...

Nah. it's automatic.  It just occurred to me the brilliance of putting Elvis right after Styx.  He's really the anti-cheeze.

Except when it's on a PB&J&B sammich.

PS: BOS to Barry White, whatever it was (I assume "Ecstasy ...").

"Dancin' Man", fine Southern White Boy R&B.

I've described this song in the above way for years -- just assumed, really, that these guys were raised on Muscle Shoals-type soul. Turns out (per Whitburn) they're from... Beaver Falls, PA.  Two guys in the group were formerly of the Jaggerz! So Gaz take note. Dunno where they actually recorded the tune, tho'.
