Title: beached - carl and dennis Post by: goawayboy on July 12, 2007, 08:30:48 AM I'm curious about the album Beached by Ricci Martin. I've read that Carl produced it and Dennis worked on it too. But I can't seem to find any other details on it. What else is known? Is it good? Does it exist on cd?
Title: Re: beached - carl and dennis Post by: Fun Is In on July 12, 2007, 08:51:43 AM I bought it back in the mid-70s on vinyl and still have it in a box somewhere.
Haven't listened to it in years, but recall that it was enjoyable, well-produced and got more than a few spins on my turntable. Many familiar names in among the musicians. I don't recall ANY airplay where I lived.....nor seeing many commercial copies for sale......mine was a promo copy in the cut-out bin for a buck or two......

It says it was released on import CD in October 2006.....the photo shows an obi strip with presumably japanese writing across the type.....the price for the one available is $148.99. YOW. Title: Re: beached - carl and dennis Post by: Christian on July 12, 2007, 09:40:42 AM check amazon.co.uk - there you can get it for GBP 17.49.

Really enjoyed it and I guess I still have the album down in my basement with all my other lps. By todays standards I'm sure it sounds dated but it was well produced IMO. I would love to have it in digital format.
Title: Re: beached - carl and dennis Post by: MBE on July 12, 2007, 02:31:04 PM The vinyl should only cost $10-20. It's a good album. Everybody Knows My Name is a good uptempo song that Carl co-wrote. It would have really helped LOve You or 15 Big Ones.
