The soundtrack from the movie The Big Chill, on Motown Label MOT-6062 was released in 1983, and features 10 of the songs from the movie. Mainly R&B and Soul classics like I Heard it Through the Grapevine, The Tracks of My Tears & I Second That Emotion. 
The following year More Songs From The Original Soundtrack was released with the rest of the movies songs.

Straying a bit from my usual type of purchases, I picked up Slip It In by the hardcore punk band Black Flag (Henry Rollins-lead singer). This is the fourth studio release by the band and this copy is the Canadian release on Fringe Label FLP 3016 from 1984.  I enjoy listening to varied types of music, and although I can appreciate this album, there is musical talent here, I can't say that I really enjoy it; a little too harsh for my taste. Perhaps it will grow on me! Certainly other albums in my collection have taken more than a few listens before I "got" the music.

The sixth studio release by the Blues/Rock duo The Black Keys, Brothers, is a superb album and certainly has been very successful for the band, even winning them a couple of Grammy awards.  This album was a gift, and my introduction to the band.  Some albums grow on you and some, like this, are an instant "I really like this!"  With hits like Tighten Up & Howlin' for You,  it is easy to see why this album is so popular.  They produce a sound much bigger that you would expect from just two musicians. My favourite on this albums is Ten Cent Pistol, a kind of dark and humorous bluesy number.
