That's a good 10 CC album, Derek.

Tonight, I began with a double album of "Live Dead."



Nando.

Nice! Do you have the booklet insert with that copy? I never see it included in the album, but I ran across an original olive label pressing with the booklet last week.

 

[speakerlabfan]

Super Stuff!

indeed!

Thanks, Derek. Nice to hear you are seeing someone right now. It won't be long before you'll be pulling out some more romantic albums.

Surrealistic Pillow

One of my Favs next to Volunteers

Hard to choose a favorite JA record but this one hits deep for me, especially the Marty Balin tracks. It's a nice pillow to rest my head on (thanks Jerry Garcia, for the album title).

I just bought the used album, but no, there wasn't an insert in my copy.

Here's the inside cover:

All That Jazz - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Another First Listen, after cleaning...

Barclay James Harvest - The Best Of Barclay James Harvest
(1972, Harvest) UK

It turns out this is volume 1, part of at least 3 compilation volumes of early BJH tracks. I've had this one for a few years (1st picture is recycled), and I picked up Volume 3 last month.

Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge
(1971, Reprise) Experience Hendrix/Sony 2014; BG in the deadwax, mastered by Bernie Grundman

Smokin' another killer sounding reissue from Experience Hendrix.

 

[MarkWComer]

Birds Of Fire

That album jacket is really wild looking under black light...

 

[speakerlabfan]

Jack Bruce - Songs For A Tailor
(1969, Atco)

w/ Jon Hiseman & Dick Heckstall-Smith of Colosseum, produced by Felix Pappalardi. I don't have the lyrics insert in my UK copy.

 

[speakerlabfan]

Peter Kaukonen - Black Kangaroo
(1972, Grunt) -3s/-3s

Jorma's brother. Joey Covington, drums. Songs written by Peter Kaukonen. Nice straight-ahead well recorded early 70s rock. Guitar playing ran strong in the Kaukonen family.

 

[BlazeES]

Broke down and bought it.

Better than I thought; so far only a handful of stand-out tracks but worth the 10 bux for sure.
This one is complex with widely varied styles with many sounding anything but Satriani.
In one word ... Jazzy.

Will take time to grow on me for sure ...

Dobie Gray - Drift Away
(1973, Decca) Mastered by Bernie Grundman, A&M recording studios

The title track was unavoidable/played to death in the 70s on AM radio. Nice to hear in full fidelity thundering low frequency along with other great tracks. w/ Nashville regulars including David Briggs, Kenny Malone, Reggie Young.
