Bite sized chunks of music with anything from 10 - 16 tracks and therefore a better chance to get to know each track than if you downloaded (or bought) a box set from somewhere. Or even a 28 track CD.<br /><br />2. An insight into an under documented aspect of R&B and early rock'n'roll history - the development of the LP.<br /><br />3. Period artwork - from the tasteful to the hilariously shoddy.<br /><br />4. Exploitation a go go! Cheapo LPs issued to piggy back on whatever the latest craze might be - Twist with Etta James! Rock and Roll with Hen Gates (who turns out to be a mix of Freddie Mitchell and Lockjaw Davis)! Surf with Joe Houston! Keep rockin' and rollin' with Lucky Millinder, etc etc.<br /><br />Caution - difficulties can be caused by not using the right "take" or even a totally wrong version of a track when compiling the reconstruction. Also, when all is said and done, you simply can't beat having the real thing - the actual physical LP itself. What you get online is a only a digital approximation of the real deal.<br />boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-25989172161541572492020-03-29T19:02:14.822+01:002020-03-29T19:02:14.822+01:00Love it!
