Fairport Convention - Liege And Lief
(1969, A&M)




I wish RT and Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention had stayed together longer with more records like this one, but glad for what we have.

Dixie Dregs - Free Fall
(1977, Capricorn) Promo stickered cover




debut record. tasty fusion, an enjoyable listen. I think this title would make a great reissue if one hasn't been done. I have 5 or 6 of the DD records into the 80s.

Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Yusef Lateef - Gettin' It Together
(1961, TCB) 60s or 70s reissue; G.K. in the deadwax, mastered by Gilbert Kong




a really nice sounding set or sets of early 60s hard bop

back after a week away from the turntable while I was getting some desert sun and some hiking near Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park. We had a great time scrambling and exploring canyons and caves with a guide on the first day, then more of the same on our own.
No rattlesnakes but we had some excitement when we noticed a large tarantula on the trail.

Ah, what would we do without SLF to bring in sanity once more to our forums? ;-)

Nice, a combination of heavy and progressive with enough variety to keep things interesting.

The Beatles - Please Please Me
(1963, Parlophone) UK, mid 70's issue




Merry Christmas. I probably heard the hits here first in the mid 60s on AM hit radio via a made in Japan transistor radio.
