Another Crazy Vinyl Blog!

 Well, I know 2020 wasn't exactly the most hopping of years here, but I did have at least 1 post per month...except for December. How did that happen? :p  Anyway, let's start off 2021 with th...

 Not too much to say other than this extreme close-up would certainly stand out in a crowd.

 Jane Fonda is known for many things; acting, charity work, having been married to Ted Turner, etc...but to many, this is her most famous work. Seriously, this was mega-huge! I see one ...

  Not too up on my Italian movies, really, but this is a fun cover. And Rhonda Fleming is great!

No idea who any of them are, but I appreciate that they printed their names under their signatures anyway. It can be so hard to tell who wrote what sometimes. Obviously an import. Lots of o...

Not the greatest color used in the font; some of the song titles get a little lost in there. Oh well. Ah, there's the cutie, haha. ;)

Nice looking guitars there. Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentlemn, perhaps? Bigtime hype! This better be the best music anyone has ever heard, Mr. Fisher! ;) That's around 1.5 hour...

I love Hawaii too...from afar, anyway. Aloha pumehana basically means 'warm/warm-hearted greetings,' but Google translates it as 'good job.' Haha. :p Beautiful lady from the be...

Simple, catchy cover for a story I...don't know. :p Never did have any Dr. Seuss books. My mother decided to get me some other series, while every other kid had Seuss. Took me a while to thi...

Pretty cool gatefold cover. I usually just do the front cover half by itself, but I guess I decided to just open it this time, as it's the only cover photo I have. Notice it says Ronny Howard...

As always, I don't expect these regional—and especially French Canadian—albums to draw much attention compared to most, but I always hope someone will find it and maybe have a story or me...

Hot on the proverbial heels of the last post, here's the last of the Sylvia albums I have. I know a Sylvia. She doesn't look like that. Not much thought put into this. 'Swivel to you...

http://ripplinslps.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-last-of-prettiness.html

N'est-ce pas? This post's title is in reference to the first Sylvia album I posted. (and notice in the credits here, she is still listed only as a "background voice")  I may have a...

Dedicated to the stupid drunken losers* whooping it up in Florida for Spring Break this year. But really, other than at some upper crust snobby college or something, this practice is deade...

Is the choice of model a pun? I mean, she's positively ghostly! Must be all the stupid cigarettes.

I bet Maureen Linsday spun this at many a sock hop. :)

Don't need to think up a funny/cool post title when the band's name is cool enough. One of the cooler albums I have. PROG rock/folk, not surprisingly. Cool that you have to open it t...

...but rather, THE London Bobby. 54 songs for 25 cents? What a deal! Let's take a close look... As usual, a few titles that are familiar, maybe some I've heard in passing. ...

As Kevin Malone would say, "nnnnice!" I didn't realize, but she was married to Alan Thicke for a long time, himself quite the songmaker. Her mother was also a singer and her father play...

http://ripplinslps.blogspot.com/2020/01/glorious-gloria.html

Yeah, I'd never heard of this one either. ;) Got a little lazy by reusing the main image, but cool caricatures, though. The first LP is on the left, the second is on the right, an...

http://ripplinslps.blogspot.com/2019/12/tgif-movie.html

Sorry, I mean The Brothers Four. "Frogg" is intriguing, as is the guitar on the far right. A tenor guitar, apparently. Endorsement from Mitch Miller is pretty huge, whether he was in...

Early inspiration for Pixar? ;) Quite the colors/brightness here. You could see this one across the room! Very cute and well done, though. Whoa! Benny, who has quite the eyelashes, it s...

Talking real focus, not the Dutch prog rock group. Nice enough cover, but why does it look like her arm is the only thing that has proper focus? :p Dunno what's up at the bottom. Like the ...

http://ripplinslps.blogspot.com/2019/12/focus.html

I guess this title has a dual meaning, since I haven't posted in a while. :p (people commenting on stuff would help motivate me to continue, hint, hint...) Love the super enthusiastic stan...

http://ripplinslps.blogspot.com/2019/10/surprise.html

Let's be honest; this post's title is pretty much correct in this situation... When I read, I'm most likely to have silence, not music on in the background. And I certainly don't sit on th...
