  5. SLY & the Family Stone TRIPLE PLAY

    APR 2

    SLY & the Family Stone TRIPLE PLAY

    Three segments of music by the sometimes brilliant, sometimes tragic, always interesting, SLY STONE (and THE FAMILY STONE). Our first segment is an album from 2011: SLY STONE: I'M BACK! FAMILY & FRIENDS (Cleopatra Records). It's an interesting mix of brand new versions of Sly's classics - some featuring rock giants collaborating with Sly: Dance to the Music (featuring RAY MANZAREK of THE DOORS)Everyday People (featuring ANN WILSON of HEART)Family AffairStand! (featuring CARMINE APPICE & ERNIE WATTS)Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (featuring JOHNNY WINTER)(I Want To Take You) Higher (featuring JEFF BECK)Hot Fun in the Summertime (featuring BOOTSIE COLLINS)Dance to the Music (Extended Mix)Plain Jane (original song to this album)His Eye Is On the Sparrow (original song to this album)Get Away (original song to this album)Dance to the Music (Club Mix)Family Affair (Dubstep Mix)Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (Electro Club Mix)The second segment takes us back to 3:00 AM (3:00 AM!!), August 17, 1969 at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair (in neighboring town, Bethel, NY). Taking the stage (3:00 AM) are Sly & the Family Stone: M'LadyStand!Sing A Simple SongYou Can Make It If You TryEveryday People (incomplete by a few seconds...Our apologies)Dance to the Music (once again, incomplete by a few seconds...and again, sorry!)Music Lover/HigherOur final (but not least) segment presents the 1979 album (or albumS, depending on which album edition you bought) titled, TEN YEARS TOO SOON. It was Sly's record label, EPIC RECORDS, hoping to cash in on the (by 1979) already dwindling first wave of disco. They remixed some of Sly & the Family Stone's biggest hits, in the hope that it would appeal to the disco/dance crowd:      1. Dance to the Music      2. Sing A Simple Song      3. I Get High On You      4. Everyday People      5. You Can Make It If You Try      6. Stand!      7. This Is Love RIP:  SYLVESTER STEWART (SLY STONE) [3/15/43 - 6/9/25] Age 82          CYNTHIA ROBINSON [1/12/44 - 11/23/15] Age 71 Playlists uploaded by Steve Ludwig of the Classic Pop Culture website: PlanetLudwig.com .

  7. HARRY NILSSON POPEYE DEMOS plus BONUS tracks

    HARRY NILSSON POPEYE DEMOS plus BONUS tracks

    Robert Altman's 1980 film, POPEYE, featuring the music of Grammy winner Harry Nilsson, starred Robin Williams & Shelley Duvall. Harry Nilsson's demos are wonderful; he wrote and sings them all. My personal fave among this superb collection of demos is Nilsson's duet demo with Shelley Duvall. Included are previously unreleased tracks from the film score, by Thomas Pierson. PLUS the original Popeye theme AND the original 1930 Popeye vocal track. Enjoy!

  8. FLO & EDDIE & THE TURTLES LIVE at The Bottom Line, NYC '79-'94

    09/18/2025

    FLO & EDDIE & THE TURTLES LIVE at The Bottom Line, NYC '79-'94

    Here's a 2-hour, 15-minute LIVE compilation of FLO & EDDIE ~ aka THE TURTLES ~ shows from the legendary, but unfortunately, now-defunct New York City nightclub, The Bottom Line, from the years 1979-1994. The compilation is comprised from two main sources: "The Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie Captured Live" and "New York 'Times' Live at The Bottom Line featuring Flo & Eddie." The "New York 'Times'" performances were recorded, with microphones literally hanging from the ceiling of The Bottom Line. Thus, the audio is not always 100%, but certainly worth hearing because it's a tremendous example of Flo & Eddie's fun, chaotic insanity ever-present during their live shows. (Quite a back-up band, as well!). Flo & Eddie are actually Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan.  We sadly lost Mark Volman on September 5, 2025, so we respectfully dedicate this recording to Mark's memory.
