Julian Lennon, The Secret Value of Daydreaming, 1986 on Atlantic
This was Julian Lennon's sophomore album, following Valotte. Billy Joel joins on piano on "You Get What You Want." It was recorded at Compass Point in the Bahamas and produced by Phil Ramone (who also produced his debut). Was startled to see the twin towers on the inner sleeve so close to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 - not sure what that image has to do with the this album and thought for a moment someone had changed the inner liner. You can see other photos from the shoot on Timothy […]https://goatless.org/2026/09/19/julian-lennon-the-secret-value-of-daydreaming-1986-on-atlantic

Carole King, Tapestry, 1971 on Ode
Sophomore album from Carole King (her debut album was called Writer), this album is often cited on shortlists of the greatest albums of all time. It was produced by Lou Adler, and won four grammy awards in 1972. It's been certified 14x platinum. You can find a copy of Rumours in just about any record store, but they ought to have a bunch of copies of this too. My copy—via Music Heals in Palm Springs, CA—is a Monarch Pressing on the ODE labels without the 7 in front of their logo […]https://goatless.org/2026/09/18/carole-king-tapestry-1971-on-ode

John Prine, John Prine Live, 1988 on Oh Boy
Recorded live at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, except for the "Angel From Montgomery" with Bonnie Raitt, which was taken from the Steve Goodman tribute concert, and "Souvenirs" which comes from an Austin City Limits episode. It's mostly Prine and his guitar, telling stories and singing songs - a bit of a filler perhaps between studio albums but worth it as all his recordings are. My copy—direct from Oh Boy Records—is the 2020 reissue, which unfortunately is quite a noisy […]https://goatless.org/2026/09/17/john-prine-john-prine-live-1988-on-oh-boy

Aretha Franklin, Who’s Zoomin’ Who?, 1985 on Arista
From the 90s (Mazzy Star) back to the 80s: Aretha Franklin's very eighties Who's Zoomin' Who?. She actually put out a number of albums in the 80s, but this is the only one I remember. Look at the glorious 80s neon fashion on that cover. The man on the inner sleeve is Franklin's father, The Reverend C.L. Franklin, who died in 1984. Includes "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves"—a glorious duet with Eurythmics (credited as The Eurythmics)—and a less glorious duet with Peter Wolf on […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/19/aretha-franklin-whos-zoomin-who-1985-on-arista

Indigo Girls, Look Long, 2020 on Rounder Records
15th album from Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, with guests including Lucy Wainwright Roche, Lucy Jules, and producer John Reynolds. Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Bath and Reynolds’ own New Aer Studios in Kilburn.
Loved seeing the Lilith Fair documentary Building a Mystery and the role Indigo Girls seemed to play in bringing the musicians on the tour together as a community.
My copy—direct from Rounder Records store—is the standard black vinyl 2xLP pressing with a gatefold and lyrics sheet.

Indigo Girls, Indigo Girls, 1989 on Epic
Sophomore album from Amy Ray and Emily Sallers, with their massive breakout hit “Closer To Fine.” Michael Stipe guests on “Kid Fears” and Hothouse Flowers guest on multiple tracks including “Closer to Fine” (which recently had a revival as it appeared in the movie Barbie).
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a promo copy labelled with WDFH-FM, which is a public radio affiliate in Westchester County. It probably had a hype sticker or inventory sticker on the front cover as well which a previous owner removed. I know some people hate a cover that is “marred” but I think it just adds some provenance and color. :shrug:

Blues Brothers, Made in America, 1980 on Atlantic
The Blues Brothers’ second album, released the same year the film came out (1980). Lots of folks are surprised (I was) that the Blues Brothers pre-existed the film – they performed on Saturday Night Live in April 1978 and put out Briefcase Full of Blues that same year.
The band on this release includes, in addition to Elwood Blues (Dan Akryod) and Jake Joliet Blues (John Belushi): Donald “Duck” Dunn (bass), Steve Jordan (drums), Paul Shaffer (organ), Murphy Dunne (Werlitzer), Matt “Guitar” Murphy & Steve Cropper (guitars), Lou Marini, Tom Scott, Tom Malone (saxes), and Alan Rubin (trumpet). The album was produced by Paul Shaffer and Bob Tischler, and recorded live at the Universal Ampitheatre.
My copy—via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA—is an original 1980 Specialty Records pressing.

Icicle Works, Icicle Works, 1984 on Arista / Beggars Banquet
In the UK (and elsewhere) this was credited to The Icicle Works and was on Beggars Banquet, but in the US it was titled just Icicle Works (no “the”) and was on Arista.
Either way this was their self-titled debut album and included their biggest hit, which—like the album—was titled differently in the US. Most regions knew it as “Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)” where in the US it was called “Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly).”
Icicle Works came out of Liverpool, formed by Chris Layhe, Ian McNabb, and Chris Sharrock. If you’ve only known the single, well worth checking out the full LP. In my collection Via Academy Records in NYC.
