Thanks for mentioning Richard Nanes. But how could you omit Rod
McKuen's Piano
Concerto et al?
Hmm..wonder if someone wants to start an offshoot list devoted
entirely to
CrapOnLP?
Well, we start out with any/all recordings (78's included if any) by:
Mantovani and his Orchestra (post-c.1935 or so)
101 Strings
The Norman Luboff Choir
The Longines Symphonette
Any Readers' Digest sets which feature semi-anonymous remakes
as opposed to reissues of original recordings
Virtually all LP albums which sold new for 99 cents or less(?!)
Any recordings of high-school bands or vocal units (with the
exception of your alma mater or works featuring your offspring)
Any anthologies sold or promoted by "easy listening" FM stations
Any LP's with a well-known name on their cover but which turn out
to have one or two cuts by him/her/it and the rest by unknowns
Any LP's whose titles end in "...For Lovers," "...For Dining" or
in any other way suggest musical contents of innocuosity...
Any LP's which are sold primarily as souvenirs of a travel
destination
additions...?!
