Meco - Star Wars and Other Galatic Funk

In anticipation for the new Star Wars film that will most likely suck, we take a trip back to 1977 when Star Wars was awesome and people made 15 minute long disco songs based on it. This is a rip of the entire first side, the track list is below.

Everything about this record is a trip. Obviously the music is awesome but the cover does wonders too. You gotta love the two pretty run-of-the-mill 70's astronauts bumping asses, presumably on the roof of some anonymous utopian metropolis. The liner notes are pretty funny too. It lists all the musicians from the "CorMar Galaxy" including the "Clomatron" player. The thank you messege from Meco is pretty tongue-in-cheek as well.

The logistics of teleporting all the musicians from their home planets, the Translating Computers, the Laser Engergisers and the Photron System courtesy of TELE-CON Ptz 88.4 (Earth Rep: Tony Blancca). I wish to acknoledge the unfailing cooperation of the Galatic Council, in particular: Neil Bogart, Irv Biegel and Jimmy Lenner

Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

In an effort to post more often, I'm making Friday "Nandy Day". Which means every Friday comes with more Nandy love. And love comes in no short amount this Friday; or lust for that matter. This week, a Quentin Tarantino favorite, Santa Esmeralda's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". A Latin/Disco, cover of a cover, and an epic one at that. This one clocks in at about 15 minutes, basically the entire first side of the record, so I edited it down to a shorter version. But I left the long one for your extended listening pleasure.

Nandy circled the entire first side and and "You're My Everything" on the second. This one has seen it's better days as the ends of the sleeve are frayed, leaving part of the record exposed.
