My 4:45 pm vinyl is "Sinatra & Strings" by Frank Sinatra with the arrangements by Don Costa. I always wondered why they called him "Chairman Of The Board". Its also cool to see that Reprise label with his face on it spinning on my turntable.

My 3:56 pm vinyl is the 1984 debut from Sam Harris who was a big deal during the eighties when he was a "Star Search" contestant. He ended up recording his debut on Motown and this is the first time that I'm listening to it.
