Import
Extremely Limited!
Now THIS is a soundtrack! No grunge bands covering cheesy '70s hits, no retro chic, no rap-techno-country-opera superstar crossovers, just an eclectic selection of tunes by some quality performers. You get obscure tracks from Dylan and Captain Beefheart, some sublime vocalizing from Yma Sumac and Nina Simone, and cuts from world-class artists like Moondog and Meredith Monk, whose creativity exceeds their popularity. The film music quota is covered by a slice of Mancini ("Lujon") and the perversity quota filled by the Gipsy Kings' version of "Hotel California." Did we mention the previously unreleased Elvis Costello cut and the Stones cover from late great Texas songwriting legend Townes Van Zandt?
So, all y'all know the drill, I hope.
One lucky AKer is going to win this LP, simply by having his or her name drawn from the list of members who posted to this thread. (As usual, the Admins are not eligible.)
All you need to do to enter is post the word, “Soundstagedirect.com” in this thread, and, Voilá, you are in the contest.
The winners will be selected at random, by me, from the eligible entrants, who posted before 11:59 p.m. EDT, on Wednesday, October 30, 2013, when the contest closes. The winner will be announced the next day. The LP will be shipped to the lucky winner, direct from Soundstagedirect.com. Seth will cover the freight, but any monies payable to agencies because of your country of residence, including, but not limited to taxes, duties, brokerage fees, et al, will be the sole responsibility of the winner. All of AK's rules apply; see list at the top of any AK page.
So, here's one for those of you whose musical preference runs more to the eclectic.
Let's get busy, people. How many entries can we get for this one?
