Vinyl Feature: Bee Gees - Spirits Having Flown
From the kings of vibrato/falsetto this was the BeeGees 15th album and came after their smash hit with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack collaboration. The first three songs on the album went on to become hit singles in most of the Western World, while the album also sold more than 16 million copies.
Spirits Having Flown was officially released on the 5th of February 1979 under the RSO record label.

Where the magic happens!
It still amazes me that the incredibly clear and resonant sound we hear when listening to records is transferred from the teeny tiny little grooves on the vinyl surface by a sharp little pointy diamond tipped "needle" to the amp to the speakers and we hear it as detailed as if we were sitting in the room with the musicians!

Vinyl Feature: Fats Domino - Fats Domino!
There isn't a whole lot of info available about this Fats Domino LP online, but I can tell you that it was released under the Sunset/Liberty Records label and my copy says it was manufactured in the U.S.A.
I think it was produced in the late 60's some time.
The music however is classic Fats Domino and is a good collection of his signature music and sound.

Vinyl Feature: The Best Disco Album In The World
Just in case you ever wondered what the best disco album in the World is, well your wondering days are over because here it is! At least that is what the self proclaimed title says but in reality it's closer to "A Pretty Good Disco Album".
If you like disco this compilation LP has some great disco sounds that will get your feet tapping while you will gradually feel a strange compulsion to wear a skin tight body suit with sparkles all over it. Ah, 70's disco...

+-+Vinyl+Philosophy+-.jpg)
Irish New Wave band The Boomtown Rats released the fine art of Surfacing on October 9, 1979 under three different labels, depending on the country, but the copy I have was from the UK under the Ensign Records label.
Three of the songs were also released as singles and were all hit sellers namely I Don't Like Mondays, Diamond Smiles and Someone's Looking at You with the first being the biggest hit of the three.
