	Love's Lines, Angles And Rhymes Used - LP - BELL 6060 1971 US original with die-cut jacket. VG++/NM- jacket. "Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes (1971) was the 5th Dimension's (5D) sixth studio album in less than four years. Yet their profuse prolificacy -- not to mention numerous television and personal appearances -- did not have any apparent effect on the quality of their output. As this collection proves, quite the opposite is the case, as Lamonte McLemore, Ron Townson, Billy Davis, Jr., Marilyn McCoo, and Florence LaRue have never sounded better -- together, or as soloists. They begin in familiar territory with the first of two Laura Nyro covers on the upbeat "Time and Love." Bones Howe had initially pitched the song to be included on a Diana Ross project that the longtime 5D producer/arranger had concurrently been working on. Ultimately, the powers that be at Motown rejected it and Ross' loss became the 5D's gain. Here, it recalls Nyro's own "Lu" and "Timer." The title track "Love's Lines, Angels and Rhymes" made it into the Top 20 pop singles survey thanks to its refined score and McCoo's voice, as it weaves between the slightly shadowy chord changes. Another standout is the interpretation of Junior Walker's "What Does It Take" that -- while it sticks fairly close to the original -- benefits from the additional textures that the 5D's harmonies provide. "Viva Tirado" is a fascinating union of a previously existing melody -- which was penned a decade early by Los Angeles bandleader Gerald Wilson in honor of Mexican toreador Jose Ramon Tirado. Thanks to Norman Gimble's fresh words, the tune gets a new lyrical lease on life. The anthemic Broadway show tune "Light Sings" -- from the short-lived The Me Nobody Knows (1970) -- recalls the hit love-fest that the 5D made out of another modern stage musical with "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" from Hair (1969). The group's dramatic license on Nilsson's "Rainmaker" is perfectly matched to Townson's hearty lead. "He's a Runner" is the album's second Nyro remake and McCoo brings to life lines such as "...Woman ain't been born who can make him stay..." with a gritty and realistic Americana feel. On the closer, the 5D do what they do best by giving a shot of soul and flawless vocal harmonies to Paul McCartney's early solo deep cut "Every Night." In 2007, Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes was finally issued on CD in North America by Collectors' Choice Music, who paired it with its long- playing predecessor Portrait (1970)."

	In The Wind Used - LP - WS 1507 1963 US original Hollywood pressing with company printed inner sleeve. "Their third recording was one of the group's stronger outings, even if it confirms their status as folk popularizers rather than musical innovators. In particular, this record was essential to boosting the profile of Bob Dylan, including their huge hit cover of "Blowin' in the Wind," their Top Ten version of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," and the bluesy "Quit Your Lowdown Ways," which Dylan himself would not release in the '60s (although his version finally came out on The Bootleg Series). "Stewball," "All My Trials," and "Tell It on the Mountain" were other highlights of their early repertoire, and the dramatic, strident, but inspirational "Very Last Day" is one of the best original tunes the group ever did."

	Peter, Paul And Mary Used - LP - WS 1449 1962 US Stereo original; Hollywood pressing with original company inner. Recorded April 1962 at Sound Makers, Inc, New York City, NY. "The debut album by Peter, Paul & Mary is still one of the best albums to come out of the 1960s folk music revival. It's a beautifully harmonized collection of the best songs that the group knew, stirring in its sensibilities and its haunting melodies as it crosses between folk, children's songs, and even gospel ("If I Had My Way"). Light-hearted fare ("Lemon Tree," which became their first hit single) co-existed with more earnest material, particularly "If I Had a Hammer." Ironically, the trio's version of the latter song, which Pete Seeger and Lee Hayes had written in the early days of the Weavers' history, helped push popular folk music in a more political direction at the time, but it was another song in their repertory, Seeger's "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," that also indirectly helped jump start that movement. The group had performed it in Boston at a concert attended by the Kingston Trio, who immediately returned to New York and cut their own version, which charted as a single early in 1962. Other highlights include "It's Raining" and "500 Miles." Peter, Paul & Mary, which hit the top spot on the album charts as part of a 185-week run, is the purest of the trio's albums, laced with innocent good spirits and an optimism that remains infectious."

	Los Cochinos Used - LP - SP 77019 1973 die-cut gatefold original, Terre Haute pressing. Glossy, VG+ vinyl. Crisp LP jacket. "Following a near chart-topping smash with their second comedy album (1972's Big Bambu had climbed to an amazing number two on the Billboard charts), soon-to-be-subversive teenage role models Cheech & Chong quickly returned to action with their third effort, Los Cochinos. Released the following year, the album essentially played it safe, continuing to expand upon many of the skits and characters introduced by prior outings. But such was the quality and depth of these road-tested sketches, that most of them remained as fresh and entertaining as parts one and two -- most notably fan favorites Pedro de Pacas and Man (revisited here via the hysterical "Pedro and Man at the Drive-Inn") and the side-splitting "Sargent Stadenko" (which picks up the story line introduced a year earlier by "Sister Mary Elephant"). Further standouts include the poop-obsessed "Cheborneck" and arguably the pair's most memorable musical number, the hilarious "Basketball Jones." All Music Guide - Eduardo Rivadavia ... more
