The Side Show

Back in the Day, before streaming, before CDs, we listened to music on albums.  A vinyl disc spinning 33 ⅓ revolutions per minute brought us great music one side at a time.  Twenty or so minutes of music, four or five songs usually, that created a single listening experience. This format exposed us to other songs of the artist, not just the hits, and often flowed in an order that was created to build and maintain a musical experience for the listener.The Side Show brings musical experiences from the past to life today. Here, we discuss and review individual sides of record albums we have grown to appreciate and hope you will too.  Welcome to The Side Show.Hosted by Mike & Mark Bloom
