Update on my 33 8-track lot form ebay:

I listened to Orleans first. Love takes time and it's hard to find...blah blah. Fluff. Here at the 8-track Museum our goal is quantity not quality. We're happy when we get a great album, but no 8-track is unwelcome. We are going for total 8-track saturation. All 8-tracks ever made. So that's probably automatically many more bad ones than good. To a critic. It's almost all the same to me. I like P-Funk and moog and jazz and Fleetwood Mac and Otis Redding.

Anyway, then I listened to Tommy Tutone 2. The whole album. It was okay. Recalled the fifties to me somehow. a little tough guy music or something. Plus 867 5309. Funny song.

Now I'm listening to Liz Damon. She's great! At Allbutforgottenoldies.net They said she was a one-hit-wonder, the one hit being 1900 Yesterday. I never heard it, but I love this album. It's Ray Coniffy singing. They cover Something, and Everything is Beautiful. It's sappy, syrupy, lugubrious and yet somehow lighthearted and chipper. It's called Orient Express but there's nothing oriental about it as far as I can tell. It's easy-listening.

I also looked up the movie The Minx. On Scorebaby.com they said it was an X-rated movie, but the soundtrack is more like the Beach Boys or the Monkees. Sounds cool. An excellent website for 60s and 70s soundtrack info.

Back to my research and Liz Damon's mellow stylings.
