WFMU DJ and music journalist Gaylord Fields returns to the podcast to expound upon the merits of "Weird McCartney." We listen to the 1980 solo offering from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, a fairly surprising turn for the pop craftsman which finds him creating home recordings steeped in synthesizers and experimentation.   If you like us, please support us at patreon.com/idbuythatpodcast to get exclusive content (episodes on 45s!), or tell a friend about us.

Guest Bevan Bell joins us as we finally feature a record by American saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. An artist whose output is never in short order in the bargain bins, we listen to a live album that supports our assessment that Grover's music is more complex than his smooth jazz reputation might lead one to believe.   If you like us, please support us at patreon.com/idbuythatpodcast to get exclusive content (episodes on 45s!), or tell a friend about us.

Dustin Krcatovich returns to the podcast for our long-overdue Brewer & Shipley episode.

Guest Matt Dorbin drops by with a copy of the second album by power-pop pioneers the Raspberries. Led by Eric Carmen, this Ohio group had a brief brush with mainstream success before becoming a highly influential cult act.

Taylor Rowley returns with a copy of the debut album by English singer-songwriter Lesley Duncan.
