Bargain Music


A new series of cheapo reissues caught my eye...read on




Original Album Series and Original Classic Albums are super cheapo compilations
of five "classic" albums by various artists for around £11. The packaging is bog standard and some of the artists and albums stretch the word "classic" to breaking point but it is a great way of getting a shed load of good "reference" music for sampling or acquiring a whole catalog of a band you may have only dipped a toe into, such as I did with Earth, Wind and Fire. A good range of genres are represented as well, from funk and jazz to AOR (shudder) and country.

My picks are:

Original Classic Albums

Miles Davis
Duke Ellington
Nina Simone
Lonnie Liston Smith
Isley Brothers

Original Album Series

Dr John
Aretha Franklin
Bootsy's Rubber Band
Little Feat

Unless of course you prefer Ted Nugent, Kansas or The Cars....in which case please stop reading this blog.
