What's Playing Now

[Fritz The Cat]

Fools! Why did they always punch holes or cuts into those beautiful vinyl record covers? And i was always surprised by the ugly clothing of Genya Ravan. (Look at the picture of inner fold cover art). No go! Very good US pressing with a hole in the cover. No go! But the music is great. B1: remember Janis Joplin......

2003 digitally remastered 180gr vinyl EU reissue. Superb dynamics. Listen to the accoustic guitar on track A3 "As tears go by". Booklet with many pictures of the young Stones. American track listing. Brian Jones (not satisfied by his playing results?) with a Rickenbacker 12 string on inner Booklet. Jack Nitzsche percussion and keyboard. Phil Spector percussion (??!!??) Yesss: the front cover for the American release was used for the rear foto on the UK edition.

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.

Along came a spider. Was it Boris or Alice? This one is a german pressing with perfect dynamics. Transparent 180gr vinyl. Luxurious cover art as Alice always did in the seventies. Slash plays lead guitar on track A2 "Vengeance is mine". Oh i like Alice Cooper. Welcome to my nightmare: i hate spiders.....

.
so I'm at the trough grabbing at vinyl and had NO JOY. sorted back through
and found a stack with no covers, just glassines.

this label kinda jumped out and condition looked great , it's only about 50 cents
so I took it just for "play value"

DAMN that may be the best I've ever heard early Stones sound. Easily beats
the CD of same title.

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




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

The Howard Roberts Quartet - H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player
(1963, Capitol)


\

smokin' jazz guitar from H.R.

Happy new year to all afficionados who love vinyl records! Happy new year and happy music: this one is with Pete Anderson (great guitar playing and production). Famous with Dwight Yoakam. Listen to his wonderfully precise and variable guitar fills. We also have Billy Bremner on guitar. You know him from Rockpile, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe et al..

Musicians with cowboy hats: they sell these country records in my favorite record shop BRO Records for 2 SFr. these days. Nobody wants to buy these bad sellers in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Nobody but me. Track B4: "What did you expect me to do"......... But hey, look at that list of famous Nashville studio cracks: Hank DeVito steel guitar, Reggie Young guitar!!! We don't have Cowboys and Honky Tonks in Europe. We don't have Juke Boxes anymore....

[Fritz The Cat]

Country rock guitar playing on the highest level. This one is very interesting because of these famous Nashville studio cracks: listen to the guitar playing of Reggie Young, Billy Walker, Wayne Turner and Richard Bennett. A2 "Honky Tonk Women" in a softer version without any stones on the road.

[Fritz The Cat]

How many recording studios are there in Nashville? This one was recorded at Scruggs Sound Studio. Look at the list of famous musicians.

Unfortunately this one is not the original issue, which is very sought after. Swiss reissue 2016. Good pressing with perfect dynamics. Memories of my youth, when i didn't have the money to buy it. So i recorded it from my transistor radio to my tape deck, when it was broadcasted by german radio station SWF3. Buying the original record would have been a valuable investment!!!

[Fritz The Cat]

All songs composed by Jessi Colter. Guitar Reggie Young. Track B1 "I'm not Lisa" was a big hit in 1975. A song full of beauty because of it's simplicity. That's why i bought this one for 2 SFr.. And, naturally, because of the guitar playing.

[Fritz The Cat]

Poor US pressing with insufficient dynamics. Deadwax inscription on A/B: "Randy's Roost". I bought this one because of track A4 "Wild side of life". I like the version of Rod Stewart on "A night on the town".
