The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time I am calling The Compilation Compilation. That is right, every piece of music on this show is selected from a compilation album. These would be such things as music label samplers, festival concert recordings, multi-artist tributes to bands, and charity-benefit cds. We will sort through compilations of the vinyl and cd eras, identify some of the types of compilation albums, and find a few obscure objets d’art along the way. It’s an enjoyable journey through some surprising discoveries on Sound Chaser.
