Musical windfall

Sam just lent me four CDs, taking pity I guess on my varied musical tastes.

• 20 All-Time Greatest Hits/James Brown


• The Blues is Alright Volume II


• Aretha Sings the Blues/Aretha Franklin


• Billie's Best/Billie Holiday

I also just received two CDs from BMG yesterday and collected them today: Led Zeppelin III and Coda. That completes my Led Zeppelin albums collection, except for The Song Remains the Same (which curiously is not in the BMG catalogue). There are of course the box sets and remasters, but the only reason to get the box set is "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and some other unreleased material. I am not into bootlegs thank you. Well, not yet.

A walk to the Georgia Tech Library got me 3 more CDs.

• The Art of the Theremin/Clara Rockmore
{previous Theremin post}

• Pioneers of Electronic Music


• The 25-Year Retrospective Concert of the Music of John Cage
