Alex Chilton - Singer Not the Song [EP]: notation

All songs are on Ork Records: New York, New York, which I have and kind of treasure. 

Teddy Pendergrass - Greatest Hits [1998]: 8.5 (high A-)

Joy of Cooking - American Originals [Capitol, 1993]: notation

The first thirteen songs are from their three original albums. The next two are from the Toni Brown & Terry Garthwaite album Cross Country. The last three are from an unreleased album, and I could not find these to stream. I am currently evaluating the first thirteen tracks, to see if I like the flow enough to go for this.

Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - Collector's Item: 8.5 (high A-)

Bonnie Raitt - Takin' My Time: 7.5 (high B+)

Bonnie Raitt - Green Light: 7.5 (high B+)

Bonnie Raitt - Bonnie Raitt: 7.5 (high B+)

Bonnie Raitt - The Glow: liked

:-)

Bonnie Raitt - Sweet Forgiveness: 8 (A-)


Both this and Home Plate were produced by Paul Rothchild. These also happen to be my two favorite early-period Raitt albums.

Bonnie Raitt - Streetlights: neutral

:-|

Bonnie Raitt - Home Plate: 8 (A-)

Bonnie Raitt - Give It Up: 7.5 (high B+)


Normally, this would be # [blues], but it seems to be her most well-regarded album, so I have it.

Bonnie Raitt - Luck of the Draw: 9 (A)

Nils Lofgren - Nils Lofgren: 7 (B+)

Iggy Pop - Choice Cuts: notation

Contains one side of The Idiot and one side of Lust for Life. No purpose for this in the digital age, obviously, although perhaps an interest relic.
