What's the oddest thing in your music collection?

For me, it's a CD titled "Kashmir: The Symphonic Led Zeppelin".

Yes, it's Led Zeppelin songs played by The London Philharmonic Orchestra.

It's actually quite interesting, to me anyways. For a review and sampling the music, see:

So, what's the oddballs in your collections?

I have an "educational" recording LP of "jump rope rhymes" recorded in NYC in the 1950’s.

Never found a reference to it on the WWW (aside from my posting about it).

No odd, but I think lesser known.

 

Christmas Classics with Harp & Oboe

Christmas Classics 2 with Harp & Oboe 2

 

Both are very clean recordings to my ear and an excellent listen, particularly for the season.

It appears that neither are available on CD currently on Amazon.

Simao:

Unfortunately no.

Can’t even access the LP now as it’s buried behind gobs of other stuff.

Looked for other like recordings but struck out.

Once thought of contacting Johnathan Demme to see if he would be interested in such a recording project, but never got around to doing so and as time flies so did he.

Maybe Ry Cooder would be up for it (we are all getting so old and I can’t stand Ken Burns)?

Some other odd ones I have are a half dozen LP’s of "Official Figure Skating Music" and a Tito Puente "advertising/tourism" compilation LP.
