Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 8 (remaster)

 

Here is Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 8 (remaster). The 3^rd of the recently restarted remaster process for this series. Only Volumes 9, 10, and 11 are left before volume 18 will appear! Starting with Volume 12, the volumes had covers from that point forward, so I don’t think I will go back over those and just let them stand as is.

Originally, this volume had songs that were not titled as they were taken from the full version of Forbidden City Dog Food, which had yet to be bootlegged at this point.  At some point I identified the songs, and titled them, but didn’t find higher quality versions of the songs.

Not much else to say about this volume, the cover was taken from the LP by The Tides since their Midnight Limbo appears on this volume. Cover Idea by myself, layout by the great and amazing Adam Fitch.

Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 7 (remaster)

 

As I build up to LAIF 18, here is the remaster/upgrade of Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 7.  Nothing major,  just cleaned up the overall sound and got some better files. The “big” change was fixing the Stan Freberg track, John and Marsha. When I originally put this volume together, I ended up using the WRONG track! I used one of Freberg’s sequels to the original song. I know this will make one person happy anyway, unless he’s forgotten making a stink about it all those years ago! Now you can be annoyed by a completely different annoying track than the one that was on the original LAIF #7!

This cover was put together by Adam Fitch from my idea, and is taken from the Kay Martin and Her Bodyguards LP. I figured since one of her tracks is on the compilation, what better image to use?

Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 4 (Remaster)

 

YEARS ago I had begun the laborious process of “remastering” the original LAIF’s because a lot of the early volumes that were made during the infancy of the internet had less than stellar sound quality. I began to remaster them and come up with covers for them as well.  This was done mostly so that when they popped up on my ipod (now phone) there was a cover to display for the compilation. I designed some of the covers myself, while other covers were done by artist pals like J.R. Williams, Haunted George, Gilles Fernandez, and King Trash (Michael Deforge).

When I first started doing these, they were the equivalent of a mix tape, nothing more than that.  Working on Kogar’s Jungle Juice Episode 21 was a blast and got me thinking about those volumes that didn’t have a cover, and still had some audio issues that bug the “audiophile” part of me. I began to go back and take a look at past volumes and see what I could do.

First up, Volume 4! Since this volume has a track from the soundtrack of the GREAT flick SATAN’S SADISTS, we used that as the basis for this cover. Adam Fitch did a FANTASTIC job (as always) with the cover, going that extra mile and recreating the Satan’s Sadists font. As always, THANKS Adam for making my ideas a reality!

Here’s Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 4 remastered for your enjoyment…

Listen to the Rain: Doom Wop Faves

In an effort to hopefully expand people’s palates regarding vocal groups, I present to you a compilation of what I call DOOM WOP. 45’s on the ballad side of town, but mostly about longing, love lost, gained and lost again. Some maybe by chance, others by devious means like “feeding your baby poison."

These are 45’s to listen to late at night, or when you're melancholy. They’re not all downers, but even if they are, its music that hopefully transports you as it does me….

Enjoy Listen to the Rain – Doom Wop Faves.
