Hi Stuwee, That's sounds like a killer box-set. I think I have some R&B compilation LPs but have never seen that box.

Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
(1967, Columbia) 2016 reissue

 

[62vauxhall]

I like to dabble in 8 tracks and found a copy of Piper last year. After a complete cartridge overhaul, it turned out someone re-recorded The Eagles on it. I was really pissed off.

The "Atom Heart Mother" reissue is pretty stellar. Bernie Grundman is doing a great job with these remasters.

You and the wife are always welcome at Casa de la stu, it's very nice and sunny here and I have some speakers I know you'll both enjoy!

After a 30 year moratorium it is time to resurrect this little collection. They haven't seen a needle for that long. Time to introduce them to a WOPL...I'll be busy for awhile....

The Doors

I couldn't hold off that long...my copy of 13 is officially from the Snap, Crackle, Pop Fan Club.

Whew.....

Most people have no idea how little money was involved in the early days of Rock and Roll, at least here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bands struggled just to survive and would play nearly any venue for pocket-change. High schools were a common, steady gig for bands that are now legendary. This is a partial list of bands, all from the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, that played at my high school in San Francisco — honestly!: Blue Cheer, Santana, Sons of Champlin, Cold Blood, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, etc. Oh yeah, and Sly. My first grown-up date, freshman year, 1970, was taking a girl named Cathy to a concert in the gym. The ticket price was $2.00 each for Tower of Power and Boz Scaggs, with the Tower horn section staying on stage to back Boz. It was great, but, at the time, I had no idea how lucky we were in the Bay Area.

So today, a gray and rainy Saturday in the City, I'm staying inside and listening to the two, and only two, records the bands had released before that concert — plus a sampler San Francisco Records put out. And these are my original copies, from 1970. Turntable Time Machine.

Great story, those must have been wild times at the high school gym. I remember a band named Disraeli Gear played at our junior high around 1969, probably a local band covering Creeam. and I remember those under $10 concert tickets in the early 70s.

CCS (Collective Consciousness Society) - s/t
(1972, RAK)

British blues legend Alexis Korner's band. Their 2nd LP, aka CCS 2. includes a cover of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’. a surprising thrift find last week.
