Your non-classical 'guilty pleasures'?

[Nunc Dimittis]

This is a lesser known artist but a fantastic, if short, album of classic Erotica.

Yes, that is one of the finest albums in the genre.  Drasnin just released a follow-up called Voodoo II.  My copy should be arriving any day.  It was recorded in February in LA.  I (among many others) sent money to cover the cost of the recording.

The original Voodoo cd sounds suspiciously like a 'needle-drop' but it still sounds pretty damn good.

I wasn't aware of Drasnin doing a follow-up album;I'd be curious to hear it.

Bravo for helping finance the project

You are correct, the original Voodoo CD is taken from vinyl.  The master tapes have been lost. 

Here is a link to the second album.

Interesting story about how about the second album came about - nearly 50 years after the first one.  He was asked to play the original album live at some Tiki festival a year ago or so and the response from the audience and requests to record another album motivated him to record the second album, contingent upon funding.  Posts went out on various internet boards to help fund the recording and enough money came in.

Yes, I thought that may be the case.

Thanks for the link; I'll listen to the samples later today

Okay, I admit, this might trump me...but, you haven't actually said in big bold print, I like this! I actually like this music. Do you have the guts? Are you shameless? If you are, we might have a new winner. Your move.

Oh shucks, I had that one at 16 years old...kept it with my "uncool" discs. You know, the ones I actually kinda like but pretend to have only for when girls are around.

Well, I don't have their poster(s) up on my wall, and I must admit Duffy's best work to date was the Man from Atlantis  but we played this song on Saturday at home, and me and my wife had a hell of a time singing to it.
plus he is in counterpoint to her, Sarge

Some Velvet Morning too?

yeah...phaedra is her name.

This is on the wrong thread. It should be in the Worst looking CD/LP artwork  topic.

No real pop music guilty pleasures, but there are two types of guilty pleasures I will mention.  One is classical guilty pleasures.  I must confess a fondness for some of those old London Phase 4 LPs where they just stuck a mic down every horn and a half inch from every string.  My particular favorite was the Henry Lewis recording of Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra.  Another, for a bit of a different reason, was Stokowski's Tchaikovsky 5th.  The last movement was edited in a particularly outrageous way by Stoky to make it longer.  Lots of repetition and slow building to an orgasmic finale that isn't in the score at all.  But it was fun--outrageous, but fun.

Most of my guilty pleasures are TV shows.  I loved Lost in Space, for example.  I have a particular fondness for anything that has any connection to science fiction.  Another one I liked was the 4 season British series Blake's 7.  I could never stand the far more popular Doctor Who? but Blake's 7 was fascinating to me, esp because of the character Dayna Mellanby, introduced in Season 3 (of 4) and portrayed by Josette Simon.

In fact, while researching this post, I ordered the DVD set of the series for $117, that's how much I love it.  I only have one other TV series on DVD--Star Trek: Deep Space 9, the greatest sci-fi series of all time, IMO, head and shoulders above the other series in the ST franchise.

Now me, I know what true guilty pleasure is...I like Bow Wow Wow and Annabella!

Wasn't Bow Wow Wow's Annabella 15 or something when she did that nude shoot for the first album? I'm sure I remember there being an almighty fuss about it and, iirc, they ended up sticking her head on an 'adult' body double (before the days of Photoshop too!).
