...Was That Your Vinyl Answer?

Listening notes

...Was That Your Vinyl Answer? is a various artists compilation released in 2001 on the Westside label, catalogued as WESA 887, in CD format. The collection spans the genres of funk, soul, pop, and rock, bringing together twenty-four tracks whose titles point strongly toward a comic or novelty sensibility running through the selection.

The tracklist is built around a recurring structural device that will be immediately apparent to anyone scanning the running order: several tracks appear in answering pairs, where one title seems to respond directly to another. "Got A Job" is followed by "I Found A Job," "Daddy's Home" precedes "Daddy's Home But Momma's Gone," and "Don't Stop The Wedding" sits alongside "We Told You Not To Marry." Whether this pairing principle extends to the original release context of these recordings or was assembled specifically for this compilation is a question the available information does not settle, though the title of the compilation itself suggests the conceit was very much intentional.

Beyond the answer-song pairings, the tracklist includes titles that appear to be parodies of or responses to better-known recordings: "Leader Of The Laundromat," "The Little Old Doctor From Ipanema Part 1," and "I Shot Mr Lee" each seem to play on recognizable source material. "I Put The Bomp (In The Bomp Bomp Bomp)" and "(We Like) Crew Cuts" continue in a similar vein. No track durations are documented in the available data.
