Bob: The Maxell MX tape is a wonderful tape to record on. One of the best recordings I've heard was done on a vintage Maxell MX 46 by Shaun (pioneercollector) using his Nakamichi 1000 ZXL. He recorded straight from vinyl and the album was Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's "The Punishment Of Luxury."

Bob: On the subject of outstanding Maxell cassettes, I had the pleasure of buying and recording on the Maxell UDS-II 90 tape for a friend in the U.K..

I have two recordings to complete, first, but after that I will record my latest project on one of these for you.

Thanks for the heads-up, Nando. I am already anticipating it! A good listen will be great in the midst of this most English-like winter weather we've got here in the southeastern US of A.

Bob: I bumped you up the queue, as I believe this will be the first time I've recorded a mix onto cassette for you. And I received two mix tapes from you a few months back in exchange for a few sealed blank Maxell tapes I sent you. So, I've begun recording tonight and should be done in a couple of days.

Besides, the dreary weather you've been experiencing might not last if I waited longer to do this.

This later gem from Bob Seger. Never got the airplay it deserved but a great album nonetheless.

 

[Elite-ist]

I used a couple of tracks from that Seger album in a mix tape where I chose the theme of new music from older bands.

I remember listening to Ramblin' Gamblin' Man on WCOL in Columbus, Ohio before we moved to Chattanooga. Wondered what happened to him all through high school. I found out in early 1975. It was the second month into my night gig at WSIM: I dropped the needle on Beautiful Loser in the production room and all I could say was holeee sh&t. Listened to it straight through twice and then went looking for a second promo copy I could steal. It's the one I have to this day. Been listening to him ever since; pretty much have all of the original albums plus a couple of compilation CDs I came across a couple of months ago.

Bob: I started listening to Bob Seger beginning in the mid-70's, onwards. Then, a few years back, I began searching for his earlier albums (on vinyl) going back to 1969.

When it came out, the 45 of Ramblin' Gamblin' Man spent lots of time on my platter. Was very pleased not long ago to find a nice Tales of Lucy Blue (as it was first called) copy in a thrift bin. Then bliss when found an 8 track not long after.

No "& the Silver Bullet" either....he was The System!!

On a CD tear this week. The Sony's been ignored too long. This one from a buddy in Murfreesboro, TN who is a nationally-known documentary photographer and music historian who fronts two old-time music bands and one delta blues band. This is the blues group - Hoodoo Men. Good enough to catch Luther Dickinson's (North Mississippi All-Stars) ear; he produced and added guitar on a couple of tracks.

Gotta love 'em. From their FB page: "What are the Hoodoo Men all about? Cheap-ass vintage Teisco guitars, p90 pickups, over-driven tube amps, groovin' drum shuffles, dirty concrete floors, butt-shakin' hoarse-hollerin' flask-drinkin' 3am still bumpin' yes ma'am blues music."

This is stupid, but I've been hung up on The Dixie Chicks first CD. It is full of drive-by attitude. And Earl is still in the dark in that tarp...#metoo in action.

Hey, Bob, I think I'd like me a big 'ol greasy slice of that goodness when you get a chance. CD or cassette- your choice. When you get the time.

 

[Bob Boyer]

We can do that, Jim. They're a hoot, I can assure you. Good people, too.

 

[J!m]

That’d be great, thank you. Should I send a couple blank tapes your way?

 

[J!m]

Maybe I already shared this. Either way, it’s great.
