Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl

Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with scratches, crackles and pops. Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. I’ll tell stories about the family listening to these albums and I’ll give other info about the album and the time it was released.

    Volume 217: Gerry and Chet

    Here’s an album I thought was going to be unplayable when I saw the condition of the cover. I have no idea why the back and front are completely separated. And the bigger surprise is that my dad didn’t put it back together with his usual black electrical tape patchwork. But I’m glad I didn’t overlook it because of the condition of the cover when I listened to the music it wasn’t covering very well. This was some great jazz that I didn’t mind listening to several times while I was deciding on the songs for this episode. So get ready to hear a couple of musicians who were around for the birth of the cool in Volume 217: Gerry and Chet. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Gerry Mulligan Quartet Featuring Chet Baker – Gerry Mulligan QuartetLabel: Pacific Jazz – PJ-1207Series: West Coast Artists Series – 1Format: Vinyl, LP, MonoReleased: 1955Genre: JazzStyle: Cool Jazz We will hear 7 of the 12 songs on this album.

    Special Volume: Nat's Very Thoughtful Valentine

    It's  special Valentine’s Day episode of Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl.  That means, of course, my girlfriend Karen gets to join me as we once again grab some music from one of the most romantic voices ever recorded. We featured this voice two years ago in our Valentines special and it’s the third of five Nat King Cole records in his dad’s collection. This was one of 30 albums Cole recorded for Capitol Records. So, get ready to hear the smooth velvety voice that sold more than nine million records in Special Volume: Nat's Very Thoughtful Valentine.

    Volume 215: Single-Sided 78s

    Welcome to a 78 RPM Sunday! As I was flipping through my dad’s shellac collection looking for patterns to create a few 78 RPM episodes for this season, I found these 7 disks. What they had in common was their one-sidedness. Yup. In the early days of records, they only pressed one side. And I’ll talk about why in detail a little later. What’s most important to remember is that every one of these disks was pressed more than 110 years ago. So, get ready to hear songs that were recorded and released with no flip side in Volume 215: Single-Sided 78s. Credits and copyrights All 78 RPM Shellac Recordings are on the Victor Record Red Label Alice, Where Art Thou - Evan Williams (recorded Camden, NJ, July 18, 1912.)Written By – Wellington Gurnsey and Joseph Ascher A Dream - Evan Williams (recorded Camden, NJ, December 18, 1913, released in 1914)written by Charles B.

  6. Volume 214: Badlands

    2 FEB

    Volume 214: Badlands

    How are we only on record five of this great seven record set? Because I continue to find gold in this box set filled with legendary songs about the old west. Each record, or in this case each side of this collection had its own theme. Even with those guides, I might take a little poetic license when I name episodes like this.  One side of this record is about things South Of The Border. The flip side mentions a thing or two about Legends And Sagas. Some you may know. Some have some pretty odd twists if you ask me. So, get ready to hear plenty of "ahh aaahs" and stories about heroes and villains in what is technically Tumbling Tumbleweeds Record 5, Volume 214: Badlands. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Various – Tumbling TumbleweedsLabel: Reader's Digest – RDA-229 / AFormat: 7 x Vinyl, LP, Compilation Box SetReleased: 1982Genre: Folk, World, & CountryStyle: Country We will be listening to record 5, sides 1 and 2. We will hear 7 of the 12 tunes from this disk.

    Volume 213: Ray's Marvelous

    We once again pull out the most popular orchestra leader in my dad’s collection. This is a follow-up album to a popular record my dad does not have. Both titles reference the Ira and George Gershwin tune S’Wonderful from the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face. Of course Conniff arranged all of these standards by using a chorus singing tones and not lyrics, which created his own recognizable style. So, get ready to hear another in the great line of Space-Age composers performing music you heard on stage and screen in Volume 213: Ray's Marvelous.  More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Ray Conniff And His Orchestra – 'S MarvelousLabel: Columbia – CL 1074Format: Vinyl, LP, Repress, MonoReleased: 1958Genre: Jazz, PopStyle: Easy Listening, Space-Age We'll hear 6 of the 12 songs on this record.

    Special Volume: History of a Champion O-H-I-O

    Congratulations to the Ohio State Buckeye football team for winning their ninth national championship.  If you grew up in Ohio, especially in the 1960s and 70s, you were probably an OSU fan no matter where you ended up going to college in the state. My parents certainly were and they instilled the love of Buckeye football on us as well. During the early 1970s, the Bucks’ offense featured a back who is still the only two-time winner of the Heisman Trophy, given to the country’s best player each year. Archie Griffin. But we’re here to listen to one of those albums that my dad collected over the years more for what’s on it than to really listen to it. In fact it doesn’t look like he did much playing of this one at all. This record recaps in great detail the 1974 season which ended in a Rose Bowl loss to USC for the national championship. You are going to hear some very familiar names if you are an older college football fan. And I’m going to do something different. I’m going to play the whole album with only one interruption at the end of side one. Each side is 45 minutes long. So get ready to hear Ohio football history through the voice of Marv Homan to celebrate the 2024 NCAA Football Championship in this Special Volume: History of a Champion; O-H-I-O For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it. https://www.discogs.com/release/6751440-Marv-Homan-Great-Moments-In-Ohio-State-Football-A-Tribute-To-Woody-Hayes Credits and copyrights Marv Homan – Great Moments In Ohio State Football - A Tribute To Woody HayesLabel: Fleetwood Records – FMS 1009Format: Vinyl, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Compilation, StereoReleased: 1975Genre: Non-MusicStyle: Spoken Word I do not own the rights to this music.
