Vinyl Me Please Classics

[TCell]

@TCell, ask Storf for a real clue this week! 1972 has my hopes up way too much.

From Storf:
“I'll give a more substantial hint later this week...

In the meantime: I have not seen anyone guess the Classics yet. The Essentials and the RHH have been guessed.”

I assume he means on Reddit for the guesses.

I’m gone for a week of Canoeing and fishing in the bush with no internet, so Storf would likely throw the “substantial hint” to a reddit mod.

Thanks!

Edit: consolidated list of guesses below.

I’m sure it’s been guessed, but what about The Temptations- All Directions?

edit: yes someone mentioned it a few pages back and I forgot the clue was worked with/produced a previous classics artist.

Do we think we are getting a soul or jazz album?

 

[Jeff Lerner]

Thanks!

On reddit, the ones guessed at the top of the page are Return To Forever, Root Down, and Still Bill, so he probably saw those guesses.

Down the page saw:
Eddie Kendricks - People Hold On

Maybe I missed anything else? Weird no other guesses for a great year.

I went and got my hopes up for Still Bill

Second clue guess thread:

Jimmy Smith - Root Down
Chick Corea - Return To Forever
Bill Withers - Still Bill
Eddie Kendricks - People ... Hold On

First clue guess thread:

Borges/Nascimento - Clube Da Esquina
Mingus and Friends In Concert
Candi Staton
Gil Scott Heron - Free Will
Stevie Wonder - Talking Book
Keith Jarrett - Expectations
Joe Tex - I Gotcha
Funkadelic - America Eats It's Young
Curtis Mayfield - Super Fly
Annette Peacock - I’m the One
War - The World is a Ghetto
Bobby Womack - Across 110th St.
The Temptations - All Directions
Joe Henderson - Black is the Color
Julius Hemphill - Dogon AD
John Lee Hooker - Never Get out of these Blues alive
Malo
The Jimmy Castor Bunch

Tons of people guessing classic rock? Are they not familiar with the track?

Keep in mind, just because I saw them, doesn't mean Storf did.

 

[Mather]

Still Bill or Root Down would be siiiiiiiick.

 

[dhodo]

Still Bill or Root Down would be siiiiiiiick.

Unless he didn't check the guess threads at all, I'd say they're ruled out.

 

[mitchwagz]

Anyone guess Weather Report yet? That’s a pretty strong album with plenty of connections to other jazz albums (Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul and Miroslav Vitous)

Jealous! Have fun!

 

[keylime_5]

Yeah I didnt' feel really great about any of our guesses for July Classics like I did Essentials. Especially after the last clue. And I feel like some of the would-be strong contenders had fairly recent reissues.

 

[dhodo]

Ohio Players - Pleasure/Pain
Donny Hathaway - Live
Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music
Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity
Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction
McCoy Tyner - Sahara
Terry Callier - Occasional Rain
Luther Allison - Bad News Is Coming
Lee Morgan - Lee Morgan
Cymande - Cymande
James Brown - Get on the Good Foot
James Brown - There it is
Luther Ingram - (If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to be Right

I really hope we get Ohio Players’s “Pleasure” because I’ve always loved that album! And “Funky Worm” was always a favourite of mine because that track was on GTA San Andreas - Bounce FM Radio Station! It’s like how I discovered them!

Have Temptations "All directions" been mentioned on reddit? Not sure if that would fit the former clues though. Would be a great album too.

It was mentioned, but there's no guarantee that Storf saw it, so there's a chance!

 

[Cheesefry]

Do we know how long the Target sale goes on for? I might grab Return to Forever if/when it’s eliminated from the Classics running.

Through 6/20 is what I read. God, I wish it would end...I can’t quit stopping by daily

Just got my shipment in and threw on the Albert King.

Holy smokes am I impressed with the sound, especially the clarity of the bass. The mixing on this is pretty stellar.

Mine arrived today. Went in not having heard it. Enjoying this way more than I thought I would have.

I would love it's this album.
