The Vinyl Countdown # 82

The Beatles, Ticket To Ride [Single] (1965) I don’t have that many singles by The Beatles so when I saw this I had to grab it. Ticket To Ride is a song for the ages for the innovation of the drumbeat alone. One of the many examples of Ringo’s brilliance. Sample Track 1: (Side A): […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 287

Dolly Parton, Great Balls of Fire (1979) Dolly, Dolly, Dolly…I’ve probably bashed everyone over the head with Dolly Parton lately – listening to almost everything she’s ever done (some 63 studio albums) for a recent chat on the radio about how Dolly is great.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1580

The Beatles, Help! (1965) My dad gave away most of his Beatles records. He kicked himself a bit – I kicked him even more! Actually, that’s not true – I gave away what was left of his Beatles collection (a couple of records and some of the solo offshoots). Then I bought them all back up […]
