Realizing the shortcomings of "In Disco Order", the French Classics label invented its own new word:

Conchita Piquer - Los Grandes Exitos (1958)

 

[Unsomnambulist]

Moonwalks - In Light (2018)

 

[lpfreak1170]

Zwan - Mary Star Of The Sea


The Pumpkins it wasn't, but still a pretty good listen.

The Police - Zenyattà Mondatta (1980)

 

[Ojai Sam]

Lost & Found - Just Pickin' (1994)

The boys move to a new label (with a new art director). This outing is strictly instrumental. The banjo of Lynwood Lunsford deserves special note. Lynwood has played for many Virginia bluegrass groups over a 40 year period, including Big Country Bluegrass. Currently he is a founding member of the Molly Rose Band.

Dr. Dog - The Psychedelic Swamp (2016)

Second listen. This album is seriously loopy in a happy, fun way.

The Police - Reggatta de Blanc (1979)

[Unsomnambulist]

The National - Alligator (2005)

 

[Ojai Sam]

Bob Thiele - The 20's Score Again (Flying Dutchman 1974)

Vinyl Rip Of The Day.

When you own a label, you can release whatever you like, including this tepid collection of big band performances of Roaring 20's songs. The contemporary arrangements (with electric bass! ) just sent me screaming in search of the originals.

World Party- Thank You World (EP) (1991)

incredibly dated by today's standards, but still a great example of early 90s music
