The exchange is still in operation, but I'm going to cease posting about it for the time being.

Please feel free to stop by and dig or donate!
Doing the (classical) box set boogie. Gould, Casals, Toscanini, Deutsche Grammophon.
Ramsey Lewis Trio, The In-Crowd.

High on the list of "Records that you can always find free or in the thrifts but are actually really good."

Alabama.

Classic early 80s mainstream country in a beautiful textured and embossed cover.

Jimmie Lunceford, Harlem Shout.

Classic swing music from a legendary bandleader who sadly died here in Oregon, on tour in Seaside.
Mahalia Jackson, Great Gettin Up in the Morning.

Mahalia Jackson. If you don't have any, you need some. That is all.
Dion, Kingdom In The Streets.

He might have lost some cred over the years, but you can't deny the guy's songwriting talent and the beauty of his voice.
Bette Midler, Divine Madness.

Did you know that she was among the artists (like Dylan and Doug Sahm) who contributed lyrics to Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time"? Fun to think about which couplet(s) each of them might be responsible for...
