Don't forget about the hidden track, Mark! Might need to give this a spin later this week. How was the surface noise on your copy?

TWO hidden tracks! One plays at 45, the other at 78 rpm. Surface noise on the hidden tracks- yeah lots of it, but it is playable. Suggestion: use a conical point instead of elliptical?

The "hidden in plain sight" tracks:

Different stylus points didn't help the noise.

It seemed like the radio hit was......more to em than that eh??

Yea - their radio hit was lightweight and pretty misleading about the heavier nature of the band. Their 60's records are great stuff

Did you get a new turntable? Looks nice- what is it?

Came in a trade. It's a Onkyo Integra CP-1057F w/ a AT-440 cart (I think 440MLa), not sure which AT stylus but the stylus body is yellow. It won't replace my PL-550 but it is a very good suspension turntable indeed. 1st good automatic I have had in a while, just giving the PL-550 a short break

Yep, the Moxy album is very good, I love Tommy's guitar tone

I'm John Lee Hooker
Really gotta be my favorite blues artist. Saw him as a teenager as my first blues show and still always sounds the best in my book. Playing now.
 
I was flipping through records at thrift stores and found this….

I’m not a country music fan but thought it would be cool hear the title track again. I wound up playing the whole thing through 3 times and it is not country music. She does have a southern drawl and some song’s subject matter could be considered country but it’s not performed that way, at least I don’t think so. If I had to label it, I’d call it blues/jazz/folk/rock fusion.

Since I paid no attention to her during her heyday, except for hearing Ode to Billy Joe on the radio a zillion times, I did some reading online and it seems that song had had some cultural influence. There really was a Tallahatchie Bridge and it collapsed in 1972 but before that, the county it was in started fining people $100 for jumping off it – it was only a 20 foot drop. Supposedly she was asked what was thrown off the bridge in the song but has never said what it was. I always thought it was a dead baby but I have my morbid moments. Apparently a movie was made about it – I wonder if it will make it onto Netflix sometime?

I found the album surprisingly good especially since it came out in 1967. Also surprising was learning that it knocked The Beatles out of #1 place.
