A concept album, with the band pretending to be a series of different groups, playing in varying styles from psychedelic "The Last Thing I Remember, The First Thing I Knew" - The Atomic Enchilada, to surf music "Surfer Dan" - The Cross Fires, to bluegrass "Chicken Little Was Right" - Fats Mallard and the Bluegrass Fireball. "Food" - The Bigg Brothers, includes a brownie recipe with a special ingredient. Fun stuff, nice job covering different music styles. :D The inner gatefold includes pictures of the different bands.

Stephen Stills - Stephen Stills Live
(1975, Atlantic)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/ss001.jpg
recorded March 1974 at Auditorium Theatre, Chicago. includes a version of "Rocky Mountain Way" tucked into a Stephen Stills medley, with some scorching guitar. A nice version of Wooden Ships also on The Electric Side. Playing with Joe Lala, Russ Kunkel, Kenny Passarelli.
I saw Stills perform a few months later, in August '74. The opening show for the 1974 CSNY reunion tour in Seattle. It was a fantastic show[/URL], they played a 4.5 hour set with 44 songs, ending after 1:30 in the morning. Ticket price? $8.50. :cool::yes:
I don't have that album, I don't know how I missed it. The only time I was at the Auditorium Stills was there then too. The venue was newly restored to its original (perfect) acoustics, a product of Louis Sullivan's engineer partner Adler. The place had been an abandoned wreck for years. It would still be difficult to find a better sounding place to hear music.
It was CSN&Y and it was the first time they had played in public. Joni Mitchel opened. The next day they played their second gig - Woodstock! I don't remember what I payed, but it wasn't much and their were no corporate sponsors. Those were the days. And very heady times.
Oh - they were great that night, Joni and the boys. I think we music lovers were born at a great time in history. I hope my kids, now teenagers, will be able to say the same thing.

Buffalo Springfield - Retrospective - The Best Of The Buffalo Springfield
(1969, Atco) early 1970s reissue; SD 38-105
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/bs001.jpg
also pictured on the right side is a still sealed copy of the same SD 38-105 reissue that I picked up at a thrift a few years ago. I wonder how short-lived was the label used by Atco for this issue? I don't see it often.

J. Geils Band - The Morning After
(1971, Atlantic) Promo/NFS
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/jg001-2.jpg
Great story, that Auditorium must have been a nice venue in 1969. Heady times for sure.
You've seen this clip of Joni, Grace Slick, CSNY, and others from the Airplane on The Dick Cavett Show the day after Woodstock?
Stephen Stills showing off mud on his jeans from Woodstock. Joni mentions that they played in Chicago on Saturday night (that show you saw), and on Sunday "the boys" went to Woodstock.
I had seen that clip years ago but forgot about it. Thanks! There is a second clip of him performing "Four and Twenty." Sometimes I forget that Stills is a monstrous talent and think he is just an astonishing talent. Next to Neil Young, he still shines too and that is the highest compliment I can pay a musician. I saw them together once before in Buffalo Springfield; I wish I had caught more CSN&Y concerts. The brass ring for me would have been to see the Tonight's The Night band out somewhere. But I have never been to California and those gigs were low key and stealthy. My chances of talking to Garbo would have been better.
Stills being nearly destroyed by drugs is one of the most depressing events in music history, as far as I am concerned.
You've read Shakey, right?
Kenny Burrell - Tin Tin Deo
(1977, Concord)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/kb002.jpg
Sad, but looking back it's amazing how much he accomplished in the 60s and early 70s BEFORE he was 25 years old. in the middle of those times, losing Jimi Hendrix who I have read he was close to, plus having money and rockroll fame poured on him. I have never finished Shakey, that's a good reminder to pick it back up, thanks.

He died last week at age 77. I heard a re-run of an NPR interview done in the 90s, lots of entertaining stories coming up with songs to fit the crazy Bond titles...like "Thunderball". R.I.P. John Barry.

Pete Townsend - Empty Glass
(1980, Atco)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/pt001.jpg
The album was written and recorded between 1978 and 1980. His first true solo LP, called the Who album that never was by some. It shows Townshend's continuing ability to come up with great material, this includes "Let Me Love Open The Door", a great song and a top ten hit in the US.
James Gang - Thirds
(1971, ABC) Artisan symbol + "with love from Jessica & ?" in the deadwax, both sides
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/jg002-1.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/jg001-3.jpg
recorded fall 1970, this was the last James Gang studio album with Joe Walsh. More of Joe's signature scorching guitar work, multi-tracked into a "train wreck" on Walk Away. I'm comparing a couple of copies which appear identical except for the runout matrices, one has "1A" and the other "RE1" appended to the matrix numbers. The latter has "with love from Jessica..." script in the deadwax which appears on several JG titles.
Kayak - Phantom Of The Night
(1978, Janus) "limited edition of 2520/3000" picture disk
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/kk001.jpg
6th album from Dutch progressive rock band formed in 1972. This is mostly overblown keyboard pop and bland vocals, I can only take 1 side. A cool picture disk though.
Wayne Berry - Home At Last
(1974, RCA) TML-M in the deadwax; mastered by Arnie Acosta at the Mastering Labs, Hollywood
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/wb001.jpg
Country-rock singer songwriter backed by some heavyweights and recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and Quadraphonic Studios, Nashville; produced by Norbert Putnam. with Jeff Baxter, Pete Carr, Jackson Browne, Kenny Buttrey, Jessie Ed Davis, Jim Gordon, Roger Hawkins. Sounds like an early Dan Fogelberg album, with some amazing guitar picking and a thumping bass backbone & some pleasant, lightweight lyrics about nature and simple living. "Welcome Home" sounds like one from Jackson Browne's apocalyptic songs - Rock Me On The Water or From Silver Lake - and Browne's voice is heard clearly on the harmonies here. Nice.
Dusty Springfield - Dusty Springfield's Golden Hits
(1966, Phillips)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/ds001-1.jpg
This is a compilation of her early hits. Some interesting trivia on Wikipedia:
Quote:
During the Memphis sessions in November 1968, Dusty suggested that the heads of Atlantic Records should sign the newly-formed band Led Zeppelin. She knew the band's bass player, John Paul Jones, who had backed her in concerts. Without having ever seen them and largely on Dusty's advice, the record company signed a $200,000 deal with them. That was the biggest contract of its kind for a new band up until that time
Wayne Berry
I found some background information - Berry was in an L.A. country-rock band called Timber, they had a 1971 record on Elektra titled "Bring America Home". no doubt he ran in the same circles as Jackson Browne. I'll have to check for deadwax markings on the Fogelberg records, a good excuse to spin one. Joe Walsh played (and produced) some of the DF records, IIRC.
Dan Fogelberg - Home Free
(1972, Columbia)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/df001.jpg
Debut album for the late singer/songwriter. recorded at Quadraphonic Sound Studio, Nashville; produced by Norbert Putnam; with Kenny Buttrey, Norbert Putnam, David Briggs. "Thanks list" includes Jim Messina.
One of my favorites from Brian.

(1978, Warner Bros) KENDUN in the deadwax; mastered by Geoff Sykes at Kendun Recorders

with Dr. John, Ry Cooder, Albert Lee, James Burton, Emmylou Harris, Nicolette Larson, Willie Nelson. I heard an interview with Crowell on NPR tonight which inspired my to play this, it's a GREAT record. I recognize a few of his songs which were covered by others including "Voila, An American Dream".
New Trolls - Searching For a Land
(1972, Cetra)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/nt001.jpg
Italian progressive rock band, this record is a lot of symphonic psychedelic rock experimentation with most tracks sung in English. A huge soundstage, thundering low frequencies.
.
The Destroyer is a 4 LP set ...no track breaks , on the On Tour LP either
(duct tape at no extra charge .....$5 for the load)
*-just noticed band name misspelling on Destroyer- :eek:
also been listening to Stephen Stills & Massive Attack :bouncy:
* The Destroyer recorded 4-28-77 by Gig,Gena and Cookie Crum
Made in Brazil by Smilin' Ears Records
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroy...g_recording%29
The bootleg should not be confused with an audience recording from the following night in Cleveland, sometimes entitled The Destroyer. Though marred by poorer sound quality, and incomplete as a result of using 60min (instead of the longer 90min) cassette tapes for the recording, many critics consider this second performance better than the more famous first Destroyer gig.
LATER: did find this on the web
Smilin' Ears distinguished itself by being the first bootleg label to release a four-record Zeppelin box set, titled "Destroyer". The set originally listed as a Seattle recording, though it actually featured a concert from Cleveland in 1977. The set has become one of the best known and loved of all Zeppelin titles and has been reissued many times.
1977.04.27 Cleveland - Destroyer - The first 1977 SBD to circulate. An early 4 LP version was packaged in a large plastic case. The best available source is a 1st gen reel off the master cassettes. There are some cuts, but this version is the most and the best we have of this show. On the Must Haves list.
listened today...yup , sounds like a mono cassette recording ...but it also sounded like a real concert experience.
picked up these 2 today....EB looks like a kid ....Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come" ...have never even seen pictures of this one ...side A is OK , B ...not so much , but couldnt leave it there ;)

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/kr001.jpg
debut solo LP; with Waddy Watchell, Mick Taylor, Chuck Leavell, Bobby Keys, Ivan Neville, Sarah Dash, Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker. Straightahead rock, and this record sounds better to me than a lot of the Stones 80s output.
Dave Edmunds - Repeat When Necessary
(1979, Swan Song) Promo/NFS; Mastered by George Peckham
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/de002.jpg

Bloodrock - Bloodrock 3
(1971, Capitol)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/br001.jpg
Gritty rock with some prog touches. "Whiskey Vengeance" + a 9+ minute "Breach Of Lease" are highlights.
Taj Mahal - Oooh So Good 'n Blues
(1973, Columbia)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/tm001.jpg
Starts off with "Buck Dancer's Choice" a traditional instrumental track with stunning picking on his National steel-bodied, then it's straightforward blues. Merl Saunders, from the Jerry Garcia Band, plays keyboards here. The Pointer Sisters join in on "Little Red Hen". It's cakewalking good.
Oh Yeah! Was it the alternate version, or the one that got all the airplay?
There's a version on Wolfgang's Vault.

Yeah, what she said! And you got to give side two a chance! I put on the CD, and kind of like the way The Harder They Come play again at the end, just like in the film.
Saw Jimmy Cliff on his last tour, in San Francisco. He played a bunch of new tunes, but the CD has yet to be released!

The Moody Blues - Voices In The Sky
(1985, Threshold/Polygram)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/mb002.jpg
This is a pretty lackluster compilation and without liner notes; includes some great songs but also in random order it includes several lame 80s songs. and it doesn't include Voices In The Sky, which was a 1968 hit.
Various Artists - History Of British Rock
(1976, Sire)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/br001-1.jpg
pretty ambitious to cover the "History of British Rock" in 2 LPs, not to mention licensing issues which no doubt dictates what's here and what isn't (no Stones, no Who, no Cream...). Starts off well with Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Woman. includes tracks from The Animals, Cilla Black, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Donovan, Troggs (Wild Thing), Dusty Springfield (rock?), Mannfred Mann, Kinks, Freddie and The Dreamers, 1961 era Beatles (John Lennon leering his way through Ain't She Sweet). special treat - a young Rod Stewart as guest vocalist with a band named Python Lee Jackson. a simple non-gatefold cover with the LPs next to each other in plain white inner sleeves. A $1 pickup at HPB last month.
Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving To Late To Save A Drowning Witch
(1982, Barking Pumpkin) DINKUM in the deadwax; mastered by Jo Hansch for Dinkum Recording Services
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/fz002.jpg
with Steve Vai - "impossibe guitar parts"; liner notes include:
Quote:
This album has been engineered to sound correct on JBL 4311 speakers or an equivalent. Best results will be achieved if you set your pre-amp tone controls to the flat position with the loudness control in the off position. Before adding any treble or bass to the sound of the album, it would be advisable to check it out this way first. F.Z.

clearly this is no ordinary pony ride. Just what are these hippies on? I heard this record a lot back in the day, I think I also had this on one of those bootleg 8-tracks that were sold from supermarket vending machines for awhile in the early 70s.Quote:
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I would guess the same stuff that NRPS was onQuote:

First studio album with Ron Wood as Mick Taylor's replacement, he plays on half the tracks, with the other tracks covered by Harvey Mandel and Wayne Perkins.
/\ I remember seeing this, maybe I saw reporting on the billboard? a $1 thrifty grab tonight, in excellent shape.Quote:
The album was promoted with a controversial billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood that depicted the model Anita Russell, bruised and bound by Mick Jagger under the phrase "I'm Black and Blue from the Rolling Stones — and I love it!" The billboard was removed after protests by the feminist group Women Against Violence Against Women, although it earned the band widespread press coverage.

Richie Havens - Mixed Bag II

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/rh001.jpg
Like a lot of folks I first heard Havens with his incredible Woodstock opening acoustic performance of George Harrison's Here Comes The Sun. Several covers here but he has a lot of electrical help, including Steely Dan session guitarist Elliot Randall playing the leads on Dave Mason's Headkeeper and Neil Young's The Loner (Greg Reeves, from CSNY's Deja Vu band, on Bass). Also covers of Dylan's Sad Eyed Lady (of the Lowlands) and McCartney's Band On The Run.
The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request
(1967, London) Mono pressing

(1977, Jet/UA)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/an001.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/an002.jpg
A reunion of the five original Animals, first time together on a studio effort since the mid 60s — Eric Burdon, Alan Price, Hilton Valentine, Chas Chandler, and John Steel. It does sound like they pick up where they left off, sounds and looks like they are having fun together. Includes a ~5 minute bluesy cover of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.
Graham Nash - Songs For Beginners
(1971, Atlantic) German pressing; artisan symbol in the deadwax
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/gn001.jpg
One of the solo LPs that each member of CSNY released after Deja Vu. includes performances by David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Neil Young, Dave Mason, David Lindley, Chris Etheridge, Rita Coolidge. Terry Reid co-authored "Be Yourself" with Nash. a long time favorite for me, Nash hits the mark with this one with simple and sincere songs. It probably doesn't hurt that he had the supporting cast of Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Flying Burrito Brothers, etc, in the LA and SF studios/circles where some great music was being produced by these characters at that time.
The Gregg Allman Band - Just Before The Bullets Fly
(1988, Epic) VLADO in the deadwax; mastered by Vlado Meller at CBS
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/ga001.jpg
glossy late 80s production and tight, straight-ahead rock, nice writing from Allman on some of the tracks.
Some of their best from the early albums. More their roots in Gospel than the later psych era. I have most of theirs, starting with "The Original Chambers Brothers", "Shout" and more I don't remember. I saw CB at age 15 or so, my mom took me and my little brother. Opening act was John Chipollina's Copperhead. CB made us wait 45 minutes, then only played for 45...:blink:
tried disk 1 ..lots of gospel...played better than condition appeared ...think I'll digitize and let AudioLava clean it up
I saw the CB at SBCC in mid '68 on leave from bootcamp ..they opened for The Doors and were the better show.
Santa Barbarians get lots of good shows..:bouncy:

The Animals 2nd US record. It's not a live album. The liner notes talk about The Animals first tour of the US, going to see John Lee Hooker, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and ...Quote:
Many hours were spent browsing about and buying in record shops. So many new discs were bought that they literally had to purchase more baggage to take home these new additions to their collections.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivors
(1977, MCA)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/ls001.jpg
I picked up this one last month for a couple of bucks. original pressing of the cover with the band standing in flames. The last album with the original band, 3 of whom died in a plane crash shortly after the album was released.
trekked out to the flea market today and brought these 2 home....had never even seen mention of "Secret Messages " before..saw RAM and recalled that somehow I didnt have this and it was in VG condition...so back to the 70's for a bit :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Messages
Secret Messages, as its title would suggest, was littered with hidden messages in the form of backmasking, some obvious and others less so. This was Lynne's second tongue-in-cheek response to allegations of hidden Satanic messages in earlier Electric Light Orchestra LPs by Christian fundamentalists which led up to early 1980s American congressional hearings (a similar response had been made by Lynne on the Face the Music album, during the intro to the "Fire On High" track).[1] In Britain the cover of Secret Messages has a mock warning to youth about the hidden messages. Word of the album's impending release in the United States caused enough of a furor to cause CBS Records to delete the cover blurb there
UFO - Phenomenon
(1974, Chrysalis)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...ds3/ufo001.jpg
3rd album from UFO and the first for then 19 year old guitarist Michael Schenker. Produced by Leo Lyons, the bassist from Ten Years After.

Zephyr - self titled
(1969, ABC Probe)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/zp001.jpg
debut record from the Boulder, CO band formed by Tommy Bolin in 1969. This is some great blues based hard rock. Allmusic says that the vocals from Candy Givens are sometimes histrionic, fair enough, but she really belts out and reminds me of Lydia Pense or Ann Wilson. I knew that I had a Tommy Bolin album, but I'd forgot that it was this one.

The Allman Brothers Band - The Best Of The Allman Brothers Band
(1980, Polydor) STERLING in the deadwax
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/ab001.jpg
This would be a good intro to the band, it's a compilation of tracks from early 70s ABB records including a lot of my favorites "Melissa," "Jessica," "Statesboro Blues", "Dreams I'll Never See", "Blue Sky", "Little Martha".
Jefferson Airplane - Flight Log

2 LP compilation from Airplane and side projects; listening to record 2 with tracks released in 1971 from Slick/Kantner's Sunfighter, Bark and Long John Silver, plus a 1972 track from Casady/Kaukonen's Hot Tuna - Burgers title. A nicely done record highlights Casady's legendary bass playing for me.
Chick Corea, Mike Longo - Piano Giants
(1974, Groove Merchant) Bell Sound sf in the deadwax; mastered by Sam Feldman at Bell Sound Studios
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/cc001.jpg

Return To Forever - Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy
(1973, Polydor)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...ds3/rtf001.jpg
Jazz fusion instrumentals with a rock bite delivered by Stanley Clarke on bass, Lenny White on drums, and Bill Connors on electric guitar, backing Corea's keyboard explorations. my favorite RTF record.
The Knickerbockers - Lies
(1966, Challenge) CHS 622
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/kn001.jpg
I picked this up in a large collection a few years ago, plays wonderfully. I bought the 45 of Lies back in the 60s when it was side-by-side with Beatles hits in the Top 40. This is a first listen to the LP. They were definitely channelling the Liverpool sound here, catchy 60s rock pop tunes with organ and more of the fuzzy guitar chords that saturate "Lies".
Ellen McIlwaine - Everybody Needs It
(1982, Blind Pig) MASTERDISK in the deadwax; mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, NYC
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/ew001.jpg
w/ Jack Bruce on bass. Slide guitarist and singer-songwriter does several of her own songs as well as covers of songs by Tim Hardin, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and Bruce's "Regretting Blues". Strong vocals remind me of Grace Slick, strong blues guitar playing. Picked this up last year, first listen. great record!~

5th record from J. Geils features the usual great fun party tunes from these guys, blistering guitar, Magic Dick on the harmonica. .....and a very nice lively warm soundstage on this LP pressing > another prime piece of evidence to make the case for the licorice pizza, in my courtroom.
Kenny Burrell - God Bless The Child
(1971, CTI) VAN GELDER in the deadwax; recording/engineer by Rudy Van Gelder at Van Gelder Studios
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/kb001.jpg

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/nl001.jpg
His first solo LP after breaking up his band Grin. This is a great rollicking set of songs backed by Lofgren's tasty guitar work.
Loggins and Messina - On Stage
(1974, Columbia)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/lm001-1.jpg
recorded at concerts in 72 & 73 in SF, NYC and Boston. I saw them play at the Univ of Washington in Seattle in April '73. Yeah lots of songs played to death on hit radio like "Your Mama Don't Dance" but they had a good stage show. Especially Jim Messina with his Buffalo Springfield/Poco roots, he led extended versions "Angry Eyes" and "Vahaleva" which raised the roof.

Michael Nesmith - And The Hits Just Keep On Coming
(1972, RCA Victor)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/mn001.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/mn002.jpg
I was excited to see this one this week at a thrift store in excellent shape. There were several tasty records in the bins from someone with initials "RE". :( I think I have most of the Nesmith solo LPs but didn't have this one. Some great introspective songs here, written before and during his time with The Monkees. Looks like he was in good company when shooting pictures for the inner gatefold, "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" is the book title he is holding.
Murray McLauchlan - Boulevard
(1976, True North) KENDUN-A in the deadwax

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/tn001.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/tn002.jpg
Another tasty thrift find this week apparently from the collection of "RE" < initials on the covers :( Nelson is a singer songwriter ("Down So Low") with a great voice. Her SF band Mother Earth played the Fillmore Auditorium, sharing bills with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix in the 60s. I have a couple of other Tracy Nelson records, which feature pictures of her with dogs; this well-worn cover includes a picture of her with a calico cat.

Tom Waits - Nighthawks At The Diner
(1975, Elektra)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/tw001.jpg
2 LP set recorded live July 1975. Waits was 26 years old at the time with a voice that sounds like he's going on 60. love the seedy characters and the sleazy, cheezy low-brow American scenes that he paints in his songs. Mike Melvoin on piano.

Grateful Dead - self titled
(1971, Warner Bros) Artisan symbol in the deadwax;
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...s3/gd001-1.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds3/gd002.jpg
aka "Skull And Roses"; 2 LP mostly live recordings. The Dead were just a 5-piece configuration when these were recorded in early '71, with Merl Saunders joining on organ for several tunes. the improvisational magic is there, especially Garcia, Weir, and with Phil Lesh holding the harmony together with that melodic bass while going off on his own excursions.
