The Mothers Of Invention- Freak Out!- ***
(This didn't age well, though I still dig it from time to time.)
The Lionel Hampton-Art Tatum- Buddy Rich Trio- S/T- ***1/2
(Swingin' suggestion from Michael Giltz.)
Bushrangers- Stuntman-***
(Strange, supposed classic "lovers rock" record from 1977 that just got a first time reissue. Decent enough, but I'll never listen again.)
Chicago- Personal Playlist- ****
(A bunch of great albums and many amazing singles for the first seven years. Then, a whole lotta schlock for the last 50 years.)
The Peppermint Kicks- Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum- ****
(Great blast of rock and roll, with a touch of glam. Good one! Def going in again.)
The Soft Boys- Underwater Moonlight-****
Perfect- Once, Twice, Three Times A Maybe-****
The Boys- Alternative Chartbusters- ***1/2
Elvis Presley- Sunset Boulevard (Sides One & Two, & A Few Bonus Tracks)- ***1/2
(This was fun. I like all Elvis, for one reason or another.)
The J. Geils band- Bloodshot- ***1/2
Iggy Pop- Mantra Studios, 3/28/77-****
Pugwash-Eleven Modern Antiquities-****
The Beach Boys- L.A. (Light Album)- ***
(Four really great songs among the dreck.)

I agree wholeheartedly on Chicago. And I made the Now Playing section!
Thank you Michael Glitz for the swingin’ recommendation. Just perfect for a Sunday morning (found on Apple under Art Tatum, The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 3; tracks in different sequence).
The Peppermint Kicks, The Soft Boys, Perfect: it weren’t nothin’ but a house party! Thanks, Sal :)
