On the Amazon site, you can download FREE Mp3s. (I know, I know, not as cool as Vinyl… I’m with ya. But FREE is pretty darn cool too!)
This list is filtered in the “rock” category, but — obviously — feel free to peruse around.
Oh, and if you happen to buy anything on Amazon through this link, one day I might get enough to download one of those sweet 89 cent MP3s. (still waiting for that glorious day! Glad I’m not holding my breath.)
Finally finished Vinyl Video #48. If you were alive around 1980/1981 you might remember a bit of medley craze. I think “Hooked On Classics” was the first big hit. The next couple big ones were a Beach Boys medley that used the REAL Beach Boys audio tracks and this “band” called Stars On 45. This is Side A of the album “Stars On Long Play”. I did a little bit of editing to the theme song at the beginning, middle & end to keep it under 15 minutes.
I filmed this with the help of my 2 girls. As you may know, I record the audio on my home stereo system to get the best quality, then synch up in editing. The lights were activated by sound, so for 17 minutes my girls and I made non-stop noise and singing at the top of our voices. Hilarious.
If you want to own the single version, it’s downloadable here:
(The single version also has a bit of “Venus” and “Sugar”)
Or the full Side A:
(wow, all 15 minutes for only 89 cents! jeepers!)
Which Way The Wind Blows – Anthony Phillips & Phil Collins (TheDailyVinyl music video #49) Yep, you read that right, vinyl video #49! What will #50 be?????
This song is from a bloke named Anthony Phillips. He was the original guitarist and co-founding member of the Rock and Roll Hall-Of-Fame band GENESIS. Pretty much nobody knows him except for fans of their classic 70′s material. He left the band shortly before Phil Collins joined on the drums.
Anthony’s first solo album had his friend and co-founding member of Genesis Mike Rutherford working with him. Mike (who would later lead the 80′s supergroup Mike + The Mechanics) suggested they bring in Phil to sing two songs. He seemed to have a nice enough voice. (Certainly not the kind of voice that would one day rule the charts in the 80′s!)
Anyway, this song seemed so appropriate for the lovely autumn day. Enjoy!
And if you’re local record store does not have any Anthony Phillips in stock (he’s not that easy to come by), feel free to use my affiliate links below to acquire his catalog.
(BTW, I ran the numbers, and I currently have 2.55 GB of Anthony Phillips’ music in my iTunes collection, lasting 31 hours on non-stop, non-repeating music!)

Ooooh, look. You can order your own 180-Gram vinyl copy of “Muswell Hillbillies” if you can’t first find it at your local independent record store!
So Many great records by The Kinks! Click here to see them on Amazon.com.
(and, yes, the link is through my affiliate account with Amazon. Basically, Amazon will one day throw a few bucks my way for sending business to them. The truth is, I have yet to see 1 dime in the 2.5 years I’ve been doing this, so money is NOT the main reason why I put the links. I think of it as a tip jar for people who were gonna buy something from Amazon anyway. And one day there will be enough in the tip jar to buy another record. Also, I hope it shows good will toward the artist/management/labels that in fact I am trying to promote their music through my own creativity and not some sort of piracy site.)
Ooooh, look! More NEW expanded KINKS Deluxe Editions:
