Jack's Steel Band - Songs By Cliff Calvin (1978)

This one is a really good steel band album that I picked up from eBay.

I found a bit of info about this band on the interet:

For over 30 years Jack's Steel Band has delighted visitors to Puerto Rico with a blend of traditional Calypso and Island music and Latin and American standards. This is an authentic "down island" Steel Band completely organic and unplugged. Five musicians perform on 9 steel pans, drums and percussion and create the perfect tropical ambience
which makes it very popular for beach parties and poolside barbecues.

The Movie Hits - Volume 2 (1977)

There really was no way that I was going to like this thing - 'cover' versions of popular movie songs of the mid 1970's? Most of them ended up being pretty awful but I did find myself enjoying the song from Valentino.

The Wagonmasters - Campfire Favorites

I really thought that I would hate this record but it is actually pretty good and includes quite a few good songs (including a nice version of El Paso). I guess that these guys used to have a long-running show at Knott's Berry Farm and eventually put this album out.

Smorgasboard In Music - Swedish Folktone Pickled Twelve Ways

The album doesn't credit any of the artists but what you get here is a nice mix of Swedish folk songs. This was an ESSO giveaway in the mid 1970's. I was unable to find any information about this LP on the net (or on EBAY) so I would guess that it is quite rare.
