Three Dog Night (also known as One) is the debut studio album by American rock band Three Dog Night. The album was originally released by Dunhill Records on October 16, 1968.

Robert Christgau wrote:

"On the group's first album, producer Gabriel Mekler unveiled an unprecedented concept: three excellent rock voices, named only in small print on the label, alternated on material which could be characterized for the most part as unjustly neglected. None of the singers wrote, the supporting musicians were anonymous and, with one exception, production and arrangement ranged from tasteful to superb. Taken all together, it was a brilliant revamping of the produced groups of rock's early days, applied to serious songs instead of honest schlock."

Fool on the Hill is the fourth studio album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in 1968.

This is the first album featuring the second edition of Brasil '66. Mendes replaced all of the original band members (with the exception of lead singer Lani Hall). The dismissed members went on to form the short-lived group, The Carnival, which released one self-titled album in 1969. This is also the first appearance of Gracinha Leporace on a Sérgio Mendes album. - Wikipedia

My long-gone dad loved Sergio Mendes, and as a punky teen, I scoffed, but now I love his music!

Guitar Method by Kiyoshi Sugimoto, released on Columbia in 1972.

Zen Surfer wrote on their blog:

"A Cover album of great rock/pop standards revisited by great japanese jazzmen, Kiyoshi Sugimoto (guitar) & Hiromasa Suzuki (keyboards) from Columbia Japan Method Series. The fusion of jazz & pop beats with electric guitar solo, psychedelic organ, strings section & horns big band. The Suzuki' arrangements reminiscent of the approach taken by Creed Taylor for his CTI label : a straight ahead jazz way. A touch of Jazz Rock with Santana' Everybody's Everything, Led Zeppelin' Black Dog, The Moody Blues' The Story In Your Eyes & T-Rex' Get In On without forgetting some vintage tunes & ballads pop from 60s/70s of John Lennon, The Carpenters, Cher or Elton John. Performed by Kiyoshi Sugimoto & The Hiromasa Suzuki Orchestra. All tracks arranged by Hiromasa Suzuki"

"All I Really Want to Do" is a song written by Bob Dylan and featured on his #TomWilson-#produced 1964 album, #AnotherSideOfBobDylan. It is arguably one of the most #popular songs that Dylan wrote in the period immediately after he abandoned topical songwriting. Within a year of its release on Another Side of Bob Dylan, it had also become one of Dylan's most familiar songs to pop and #rock audiences, due to hit #coverVersions by #Cher and #theByrds.

Just woke up to local radio playing a new cover of Merry Xmas Everybody and… what the hell has she done to poor Noddy's Christmas classic?!

My wife said it's supposed to sound like kids running around and having fun on Christmas day, but she's turned it into the mum stuck in the kitchen making Christmas dinner and already on her second bottle of wine!
