Terry Reid - s/t

a surprising find last month in NM- shape. great title, great sound quality, distinct percussion & low frequencies. I also have the original yellow label of this title

Did Terry Reid do anything else? Is it obscure?
He didn't set any sales records with his recordings but not obscure. He was an associate of Graham Nash in mid 60s England, co-wrote with him when Nash was with the Hollies. was Page's first choice for a vocalist for the New Yardbirds, later known as Led Zeppelin. Reid wasn't available so he suggested Robert Plant. Also offered a spot as vocalist with Deep Purple. He played with just about everyone in the 60s and 70s. Opening act for Cream, Stones, Tull, Fleetwood Mac. I saw him just today in the credits for a 1975 Bonnie Raitt LP. Great stuff.

Bill Evans Jim Hall - Undercurrent
(1962, United Artists Jazz) -1A/-1A





Evan's piano and Hall's guitar playing are very complementary to each other here and it's a great listen.

Woke up with a little Who this morning...


The Who: Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncey

I like The Who of all eras, but if I had to only have one Who LP, this would positively be it, greatest hits or not. Spinning an early US Decca pressing. Not he last word in Hi-Fi, but sounds good enough to me and the music is great.
