It's The Glen Campbell Show!



Every Sunday for the foreseeable future (which today is like, today), th' House O' Foam© will play host to your own Glen Campbell Show. Hoo boy! Swell music for a Sunday, or any other day you feel like slipping into those penny loafers and a lightweight V-neck sweater. But hey! You forgot the pants, you doofus! Run back inside before the neighbors call the cops.
The Season Premiere presents a coupling of his first and third albums, from '62 and '64 perspectively. If you gots the second (Too Late To Worry, Too Blue To Cry) and you feel like spinning a link out onto the placid surface of the internet, I'll be the first old trout to bite.

 Campbell was all the things we want in a star - talented, modest, charming, and good looking. And whose voice would we rather listen to? Huh? Hoo-hah?

EDIT: FMF© House Marsupial, JJWombat, kindly adds a link to the missing second album [at left - Ed.] in the comments, and congratulates himself on his bat-like powers of hearing. More of this sort of thing, please!

    Like a nude, drunken, Glen Campbell, locked out of 13 year old Tanya Tucker's hotel room, which he was sharing with her while on tour. Our erstwhile, Monkee wanna be, I'm banging on the door, yelling, begging for the link, like he was begging to get his nude arse back inside, sadly, before his career destroying and my arrest. Please post before the cuffs get slapped on.

    Thank you for these. I've seen the 12-string album many times, but not the other. And they sound wonderful.

      You're welcome, Jethro. As the beady-eyed hi-fi enthusiasts might have noticed (those that can find their glasses, anyway) my rips are nearly always @192, because 1: I can't tell the diff., and B: Good sound depends on more than just bitrate conversion. It's been a long while since I was a bat-eared audio geek, and I can get more music on my iPod this way.

      Thanks for the link, Wombat! I listen through a JBL Bluetooth pod, or in my car, or through Microlab powered speakers - rarely on earbuds although I have a pair of JBLs that are pretty good. Anyway, @192 is the bitrate Jesus preferred - it's in Leviticus somewhere.

    I've never forgiven Campbell for ruining a truly magnificent song - Southern Nights. Listen to the original by its writer, Allen Toussaint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCscZ2tPFmI

    I saw him on his last tour, out in Stockton.

    Long before the Big Bluegrass Special, before even the Starday demos, Glen released 2 45s on the Ceneco label with the Glen-Aires. 2 of those songs (one from each release for some unknown reason) are featured here: https://pixeldrain.com/u/WgKrMbe7
    If anybody gives a damn, that is.......On one it sounds as if Chill Wills and mates are backing him.

      Unfortunately, like the gentleman in the VDP notes, I do not have uploading skills, this link was given me by an acquaintance, otherwise Icould offer a lot more, as I have previously indicated.

    I'm not suggesting you do this, but if you (or any of the 4-5G) wants to upload, this is how you do it:

    - Drag the mp3 files of the album into an empty folder (on your desktop, anywhere)
    - Call the folder something mildly amusing (although PIRATED MUSIC is probably too amusing)
    - Compress the folder and its contents to a .zip file (or similar - .rar or whatever). On a Mac, simply right click the folder and choose compress. On a pc, you're on you're own.
    - "Go to" zippyshare or any file host that's not a pain in the fucking ass.
    - Upload your compressed file by dragging it into the field on the web page
    - After it's finished uploading, you'll get an URL to copy.
    - Post this address on an internet near you
    - Wait for complaints, litigation etc.

    It doesn't take long when you know how to do it, but it's still a drag, and there's ten million things you'd rather do. I cunningly "hide" the link by using hypertext, but that's just showing off.

    Been feeling I should do this for some time, but apathy and a general sense of can't be arsed has prevented me thus far, but by golly at 69 yeads and a quarter, it's about time I tried.......but don't your braeth (or breath for that matter.........) Not sure which uploader to try for. Zippy is out of the quaetion, (equation? question?) as I'm in the UK.....I get the feeling this is not boding well at present......

    Andmoreagain. Hopefully this time will be The Folkswingers 12 String Guitar (Vols 1 & 2) recorded in 1963 and featuring Glen, Rodney Dillard (rhythm guitar), Dean Webb (bass, that's right, not Mitch Jayne - the Dillards usual bass player) and on certain cutsDdouglas Dillard (5 string banjo). Produced at World Pacific studios by Jim Dickson, who put the Byrds together the following year.
