We now seem to be dipping our toe's in the1980's via that Darn' "DeLorean" Car !!!...
I'm sure that there is loads of people out in this wide world that loved this L/P when it first came out probably if I was born in the 70's I might as well !!....Its Okay plenty of OOOmph
but far far to loud the balance between the vocals and orchestra/band was way out....still I supose that was how they recorded things in the 80's....But it would have been nice to hear the lyrics so you could understand the songs !!....I did get that "Picasso Visited The Planet Of The Apes " !!!.....and the "Ant Rap" is good what you can hear of it !!!!

The Fifth Dimesion with their hit and other not so well known tracks...I didn't realise how good they are having only heard my L/P "Portrait"....but everything is said on the back sleeve and I endorse the view !!!
Something different now !!!..not had a "Boy Soprano" on here yet but now is the time !!.. this recording was made in 1987 to be exact.... so today he is in his 40's and with a "Baritone "voice and later on I am posting his version of songs that he has recorded with himself when he was a"Soprano"...should be interesting
This one is from 1985 two years earlier than the "Sailing" L/P and you can tell by his voice and the picture both are younger !! (Sometimes I do tend to state the obvious) !!...
Also on this L/P there are tracks by the "Welsh Choir and Symphony Orchestra" !!!
Told you that we have some different L/P's !!!
Obviously these are not the original versions of the songs but on some of them if you were not aware your ears could fool you !!!... A compilation from the 70's.

This I believe was the first effort of "Paul's after he left the "Beatles" and before the emergance of "Wings"...to me it seems that he was doing a bit of musical experimentation on this L/P before the blossoming of "Wings" !!!

Now some from "Bob" in "Belgium"......
Some jolly old Accordian music giving us plenty of well known tunes to dance too ! whistle too ! and do whatever takes your fancy to do !!
Ok...now for something entirely different and typicaly "English" !!!...."Live" once again but with audience participation !!...If you havn't seen or heard of the "Old Tyme Music Hall" have a listen its part of our "English Heritage" !!!...and you might like it !!!
From one "Live" performance to another one !!...an entirely a different one !!! in songs and content a nice laid back performance by "Danish" "Nina & Frederick"...Love "Live Performances"....
Nina & Frederik were a Danish - Dutch popular singing duo of the late 1950s and early 1960s.[1] Their repertoire consisted of a blend of folk music, calypsos and standards.[2] The duo consisted of Frederik von Pallandt and his wife at the time, Nina van Pallandt.[1]
This is one "Live" performance that although can't understand "French" the contents are Brilliant !!...so this is for all the "French" Folks that are wandering by !!...not forgetting of course "Canadians" with a touch of "French" !!! ...which is where this was recorded at "Jazz De Montreal"...so everybody enjoy the "Live" experiance !!!
Here's a great treat for the "Swing" enthusiastics & the people who like something different !!
"King's Singers" throwing in "Conniff" "Swingles" and "Do Wop" along with a touch of "Classical" mixing it up with a "Cappuccino" as per front !.....and still keeping the "English Accent " !!!.... Better be ready for Side Two Track One !!!! thanks "Bob" it's a "Gud Un " !!!
Still in "Belgium" with "Bob".....and from his voice and front picture I guess this is some of his early recordings....Its good to hear singers at the begining of their careers...so this is what you could definatly say a "Retrospective " journey into the past !!
"There is always the Sun "...Over the Clouds !!....that's what this L/P is titled !!..hence the front design !!!...a very pleasant wander amongst the clouds !!!
The laid back voice of "Mr C" will be fading away as I get on that rowing boat and start rowing back over the channel to "Blighty "...thanks "Bob" for the L/P's back soon !!! think I'll catch that "Carpet" next time!!! my arms are begining to ache with all this exercise !!!
