The House is on Fire! - Part 2


Part 2

There was recently a large fire in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. A friend of mine lives near there, and may have had to evacuate. Not a good reason to think about it, but…what if you could only take 100 titles from your ‘about to be consumed by flames’ home? What would they be? I wrote this list fairly quickly. My choices are mostly vinyl.

#26 - #50:

Faust - self-titled 1st LP (German orig clear cover, vinyl) (Polydor DE)

Lucio Battisti - "Il Nostro Caro Angelo" (Numero Uno IT)

Thomas Diethelm / Santino Famulari - "Valleys In My Head" (Mercury Switzerland) (CD has 2 songs from the previous album, which is also excellent!)

Watermelon - "Cool Music" (Alfa JPN)

Mort Garson - “The Wozard Of Iz” (A&M US) not on CD

Mort Garson - “Cosmic Sounds of the Zodiac” (Elektra US)

White Noise - “An Electric Storm in Hell (Island UK)

Lio - self-titled 1st album (Ariola FR)

G.T.O.’s - “Permanent Damage” (Straight US, booklet)
