The College Crowd Digs Me

"Halloween III: Season Of The Witch" (STK) - John Carpenter (1982 - Rei 2023 )       "Halloween III: Season Of The Witch" is not quite as iconic as the "Halloween" soundtrack, but it doesn't kowtow either.  "Halloween III" has its own eerie, sinister vibes to please the discerning ears.  The synthesizer movements are unnerving and filled with trepidation.  Just another excellent John Carpenter soundtrack with a satisfying replay factor for sure.       And now might be just the right time to keep an eye out for one while the October holiday is still months away.  I grabbed my copy in mid-January at 25% off.  That made my purchase about $27.  If you find one near the $30 mark, you're getting a steal.  I'd recommend keeping the peepers open now.

"Rockin' At The Hops" - Chuck Berry (1960 )      This was Chuck Berry's fourth album, and not one of his best, but not bad by any means.  There are twelve songs on the square. Six tracks are "I wanna hear that one again" kind of songs.  And the other six tracks are just Chuck Berry generic.  Good, but I think you know what I mean.   Still, it's Chuck Berry, so even his weaker stuff has some legs.  Remember, we're still a few years away from The Beatles and The Stones breaking out, so this was all solid groundwork.      I didn't really need this album since I already had CB's yellow "The Great Twenty-Eight,"  but this album cover was too cool to pass up.  I may not play this one as often, but I like to display it.  It looks too cool to hide away.  Spektrum Music had this in their bin for $17, and for an album over 60 years old, the cover is still poppin' fresh!  Very clean.  This isn't an expen...

"Chamaeleon Church" - Chamaeleon Church (1968 )      This album was a Christmas present to myself.  I bought it in January.  I knew it was going to be a bit of a pony-up, but I was hoping to find a copy closer to $40 or $50.  That never happened.  Most were floating closer to the $100 mark.  I never once saw one in the wild.  I had to pay up, but it was a price I could live with.  $70, plus shipping.  You can find one cheaper, I'm sure, but I'd waited long enough, so I jumped.  " Chamaeleon Church" is a psych album, but it seldom gets talked about much in the community, other than the fact that SNL alum Chevy Chase was the drummer.  I'm sure this has moved the price needle up just a smidge.      But here's the thing.  The album has more going for it than just Chevy on the skins.  This self-titled album is pretty darn good.  The songwriting is especially strong, thanks to leader Ted Myers , ...
