Weird Vinyl!

There were some really unexpected finds in the same collection that included the William Shatner record. (And by the by, the Shatner record is still here!) There was even one by James Darren, of Time Tunnel fame, who, after the Lone Ranger and Lassie, was my first beloved. Sorry guys, that one has already been sold, and to you-know-who! There are also records by Richard Harris, who is not as bad a singer as I thought he was.

Some other gems-
Steve Wonder singing Gotta Have You, in a disco version.

Hooked on Classics, a disco version by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. They play 17 pieces of classical music in 5 minutes and 2 seconds. It was hard to miss the William Tell Overture, Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, and the 1812 Overture. (I just started listening to classical, so test me again next year and absolutely I will  do better!)

Stairway to Heaven, covered by the Far Corporation, whoever they are.
(Actually, this cover made it to #8 on the UK Billboard. It was even the first single of Stairway to head the charts, since Led Zeppelin never released it as a single. Thank you Wikipedia, once again you soothe my curiosity.)

And finally, a disco version of Romeo and Juliet? (Alec Constandino have you no shame?)

All these can be had for $1. Come and get them before someone beats you to them!
(Hey it is not that I hate disco, just that some singers and some songs should be off limits.)
