Issued on Capitol in late 1964, School Is a Drag was the third LP issued that year by the Super Stocks, a studio group masterminded by producer Gary Usher. The 12 tracks live up to the sun-drenched, high-speed concept of the record without getting generic due to the cream-of-the-crop session musicians Usher employed, including Billy Strange, Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, Ray Pohlman, Hal Blaine, and Jerry Cole. With plenty of rare surf and hot rod tracks, this is an enjoyable, fun disc recommended to both collectors and casual listeners. ~ Al Campbell
Sundazed brings back to life three rare surf and hot rod sessions recorded in 1964 by the Super Stocks, a studio group masterminded by producer Gary Usher. Originally issued on Capitol in late 1964, School Is a Drag was the third LP recorded by the aggregation released in that year. The 12 tracks live up to the sun-drenched, high-speed concept of the record without getting generic due to the cream-of-the-crop session musicians Usher employed, including Billy Strange, Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, Ray Pohlman, Hal Blaine, and Jerry Cole. As usual, the folks at Sundazed have done excellent work with all the Super Stocks reissues. Featuring meticulous mastering from the original analog reels and sporting new liner notes by author Stephen McParland, these are top-notch. This is an enjoyable, fun reissue recommended to both collectors and casual listeners. ~ Al Campbell

School Is A Drag album
 $10.45  
"Here In Angola," "Pandora," and "Indian Summer" were originally released on the LP INDIAN SUMMER.
24 CARROTS is folk-rocker Al Stewart's 1980 album, recorded with Shot in the Dark. This reissue features five bonus tracks, "Here in Angola", "Indian Summer", "Pandora", "Delia's Gone", and "Princess Olivia".
The pun of the title of 24 Carrots -- the first overt signal of humor Al Stewart has displayed in years, possibly ever -- illustrates that a lot has changed since 1978's Time Passages. The loosening of his wit is perhaps the most evident, ...

| | Doors Soft Parade CD (1969) Gold; Remastered
School Is A Drag CD music
$20.29  
Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of course "Shaman's Blues." The album's biggest hit "Touch Me," while easily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic that ranks among the great '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several different moods and textures, full of the elliptical, poetic lyrics that were Morrison's trademark.
The weakest studio album recorded with Jim Morrison in the group, partially because their experiments with brass and strings on about half the tracks weren't entirely successful. More ...
| | Beth Orton Daybreaker CD (2002)
School Is A Drag music CDs
$11.79 
Though British singer-songwriter Beth Orton's arresting debut TRAILER PARK gained international attention for its striking blend of folk-pop and electronica, her subsequent work has found her scaling down the more electronic elements of her sound. In fact, her third album DAYBREAKER is her most organic outing to date. From sailing strings and twinkling piano to amber-toned acoustic bass and lightly brushed drums, the reference point here seems to be more Nick Drake's BRYTER LATER than anything by William Orbit.
This is an exceedingly gentle outing, seldom rising above an artful murmur. Stylistically, there are a couple of brief sidesteps--"Anywhere" is driven by a light Brazilian rhythm, and the title track bears some low-key hip-hop inflections--but there's nothing on DAYBREAKER that should scare away fans of Sandy Denny or Linda Thompson. It's that very combination of old and new, Anne Briggs channeled through Paula Cole, that gives Orton her distinctive sound.
Feat.Collabs.W/Emmylou Harris/ Chem.Bro/Ryan Adams/Ben Watt
Personnel: Beth Orton (vocals, acoustic guitar); Ryan Adams (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar, piano, bass guitar); Emmylou Harris (vocals); Johnny Marr (guitar); Ted Barnes (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin); Smokey Hormel (electric guitar); Howard Gott, Richard George, ...
