The LP (long player) format was the most used for many years. Beginning roughly in the late 1880\u2019s, phonographic discs (made from shellac and later polyvinyl chloride) were used to transmit recorded music.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 20th century, other mediums began to supplant vinyl (as it came to be called). Cassettes, digital audio tapes, CDs and eventually streaming services, became cheaper and more popular. However, vinyl has always retained a devoted following among those who value sound quality. Many audiophiles believe that music heard from vinyl, is richer, warmer and more accurately captures the essence of the original recording.<\/p>\n<p>Smith Library has a robust collection of vinyl LPs, covering many different genres including opera, classical, folk, country, easy listening, pop and rock. This week\u2019s blog post will cover some of the classic rock albums that are available at Smith Library. Each entry will include a brief overview of the work, its relative merits in the genre and the location information in Smith Library. The albums are listed in order of release date.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6580 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/V1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/V1.jpg 383w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/V1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/V1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/V1-345x345.jpg 345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><em>The Doors<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4>The Doors<\/h4>\n<h4>Released Jan. 1967<\/h4>\n<p>The Doors first album, <em>The Doors, <\/em>came during a time when groups like the Beatles, the Who and the Rolling Stones continued their domination of the music charts as well as the appreciation of the critics. The Doors joined new groups such The Velvet Underground and Jethro Tull in introducing new and fresh sounds to rock music. From the straight ahead rock of \u201cBreak on Through (To the Other Side)\u201d to the hypnotic and eerie \u201cThe End\u201d, the album presents a diverse set of songs that nonetheless maintains a cohesive sound. This album also contains the song that propelled the Doors to superstardom, \u201cLight My Fire\u201d. <em>The Doors<\/em> reflected a new California sound, psychedelic but still featuring a driving rock feel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Smith Library 1st Floor &#8211; Media Library &#8211; LP Collection \/ <u>Doors Elektra EKS74007<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-6581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v2.png 389w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v2-345x345.png 345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><em>Tommy<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4>The Who<\/h4>\n<h4>Released May 1969<\/h4>\n<p><em>Tommy<\/em> is the Who\u2019s fourth album and is credited as being the first rock opera.

Supported by the singles, \u201cPinball Wizard\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m Free\u201d, the album sold enough to be turned into a movie.

Heavy on orchestration, strings and, of course, Anderson\u2019s ever-present flute, the band often comes across as overly theatric and a bit simplistic, lyrics-wise. The strength of the band is in the highly skilled musicianship of the players as well as the catchy song writing. This album does not contain any of Tull\u2019s more well-known songs, but still provides a good overview of the band\u2019s sound, especially when heard on vinyl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Smith Library 1st Floor &#8211; Media Library &#8211; LP Collection \/ <u>Jethro T Chrysali CHR1082<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v7.jpg 381w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v7-345x345.jpg 345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/>Tusk<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4>Fleetwood Mac<\/h4>\n<h4>Released in Oct. 1979<\/h4>\n<p><em>Tusk<\/em> had a hard act to follow. Fleetwood Mac\u2019s <em>Rumors<\/em>, sold millions of copies and was critically acclaimed. It can be argued that no album could have possibly met, let alone surpassed the expectations everyone had for the next album. And the reaction to <em>Tusk<\/em> was just about what one could expect. It is probably a better album than the initial reviews proclaimed, but still it was inferior to <em>Rumors. <\/em>Lindsey Buckingham basically took over the creative direction of the band and insisted on creating a double album that contained not only typical Fleetwood Mac fare but also some more experimental songs, influenced in part, by the burgeoning new wave\/post punk scene. The result was an interesting double album that could probably have been an excellent single album, one that is still well worth a listen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Smith Library 1st Floor &#8211; Media Library &#8211; LP Collection \/ <u>Fleetw M Warner 2HS3350<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v8.png 263w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2017\/03\/v8-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><em>Infidels<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4>Bob Dylan<\/h4>\n<h4>Released in Oct. 1983<\/h4>\n<p>After several religiously themed albums, Bob Dylan returned to more secular topics on <em>Infidels<\/em>.
