Paul Parrish: Songs (1971)

Warner Brothers 1930

I had never heard of Paul Parrish when I picked this LP up at the thrift shop for 99 cents. One reason I shop for records at the thrift shop is they are inexpensive enough that I can buy them just to see if I like them or not. If not, I donate them back to the store. Another reason is I'm cheap.

This record is a little bit too sunshiny for me at times, but there are some nice songs on here, and the production is good. The record is a good condition. It is not on CD. Associated equipment: Technics SL-7/Ortofon X1-MCP.

We listened to that album a lot when I was in my high school very-nontraditional church group. Some of the musical folks learned to play "Many Years Ago" and "When they Return". The album brings back a lot of memories. I had a copy, but it broke - downside of vinyl!

(Update: my digitization process was foiled by advancing technology; I mostly post work that others have digitized for YouTube. Older tracks should still be accessible per the following procedure) Click on any song title to go to a box.net page for that song. Our goal is to post only tracks that are not available on CD or as mp3s – songs that cannot be purchased anywhere. We hope to raise interest in these out-of-print LPs without taking away a single cent of revenue from those who profit from the sale of music. If you find any of these tracks available digitally, please contact us and they will be promptly removed.

If you enjoyed any of the music, please leave a comment. I hope that these sample tracks will inspire you to track down this out-of-print music.

All LPs are cleaned with a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, then converted to CD using a harman/kardon home audio CD recorder, which uses an AKM 24-bit/96 kHz analog-to-digital converter. No digital or electronic effects are used. (Prior to November 12, 2012, all LPs were cleaned with a Spin Clean Record Washer.)
