    Burning Red Ivanhoe, Same, 1970, Telefunken D, SLE 14625-P

    Hey, this is something special! From Denmark. One of the first scandinavian progessive bands.Their style was quite original from the start, blending jazz-rock with R&B, blues, psychedelia etc. John Peel under the pseudonym Eddie Lee Beppeaux was producing together with famous bass player Tony Reeves (Greenslade, Mayall, Colosseum). Unique kind of music. Superb german pressing with very pleasable dynamics. Listen to the calm hypnotic blues-rocking track A3 "Rotating irons". 45 years old vinyl in mint condition. Cover with the smell of muggy basement. Forgotten anywhere for so many years......Everything was possible in the early seventies. Wonderful times then......

    Dexter Gordon Quartet, It's You Or No One, 1983, Steeple Chase DEN, SCC-6022

    Live from Montmartre Jazzhus in Copenhagen, Denmark, August 6, 1982. Rather not the brightest dynamics due to the imperfect original recordings as noticed on back cover. Much of the impact of this one stems from the fact that Montmartre in those days had a more or less regular backing group for the soloists. The anchor man was bass player Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, who at the time of this recording was only 18 years old. All the same he sounds like an old jazzman......

    Taj Mahal, Happy Just To Be Like I Am, 1971, Columbia US, BL 30767

    Amazing purchase. Relaxed witty survival of musical Afro-America. Strong interpretations of "Chevrolet", "Oh Susanna", "West Indian Revelation". Listen to track B4 "Black Spirit Boogie": realize how many ways there are to keep an acoustic guitar solo interesting once you've acquired a natural sense of rhythm. Remembering Ry Cooder. Jesse Ed Davis electric guitar on track A3 "Oh Susanna" and B2 "Chevrolet". Everything about this album is pure.....

    Nice, this looks like very interesting music.

    Those early Taj Mahal records are killer.

    John Fogerty - Centerfield
    (1985, Warner Bros) Promo stamped cover




    interesting songs here overcome the drum machine synth 80s sounds at times. "I know it's true cause I saw it on T.V". I have his new autobiography Fortunate Son on loan from the library - don't know if I'll find time to read it before it has to go back though.

    Taj Mahal, Same, 1968, Columbia US, CS 9579

    Ry Cooder rhythm guitar and mandolin. Jesse Ed Davis lead guitar. Listen to Track A2 "Statesboro Blues". Blues-rock-gospel-country-funk for your heart and soul. Very good US pressing. Purchased this year for 15 SFr. at my favorite record store BRO Records in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Look at the fence on the front cover picture. It says everything...... But instead of the house, he owns all the birds of the region.

    Taj Mahal, Oooh so good'n blues, 1973, Columbia US, C 32600

    Taj Mahal on his own except for when the fabulous (unknown at this point) Pointer Sisters breeze in with their sassy vocals. Listen to "Frankie and Albert": their shriek, as Frankie shoots Albert, is one of the defining moments of music in the 70s. The album is wrapped up with "Teacup's Jazzy Blues", which has a Mingus style bass, gospel moans and scat from Taj. It's a strange and, at times, eerie little number that gets under your skin in a good way. (Cit.: Red Lick Records Ltd.).

    Taj Mahal, The Natch'l Blues, 1968, Edsel UK, 1987 Reissue , ED 231

    Good UK reissue pressing. Al Kooper piano. Jesse Ed Davis guitar, piano, bass arrangements. Great classic: "She caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride"..........At least. Does humour belong to blues music? Yessssss! And many important wisdoms for our lifes. Remember The Blues Brothers. According to John Belushi's widow, it was Belushi's favorite blues song. The "Katy" refers to Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (Cit.: Wikipedia). Does anybody know why a railroad is called "Katy"?

    Taj Mahal, Taj, 1986, Gramavision D, 18-8611-1

    Good german pressing with perfect dynamics. Recorded at Mantra Sound Studios, Kauai, Hawaii, October-November 1985. Pressed on high quality audiophile vinyl (as noticed on back cover). Jesse Ed Davis lead guitar. Many horns and synthesizers. All the blues has almost gone. Happy music. Everything is allright.

    German pressing. Bellaphon pressings mostly are superb.You should read his autobiography. Shurely he will tell about "Gossimer Wump" and about "Mr. Greed" and the Man who can't dance. Because of Mr. Greed, John had to play ten years alone in his garage for the dreams that hopefully would survive......

    Good german pressing here. Front cover art: it's definitively not a Swiss Army knife, because it's forbidden to cut stones with Swiss Army knifes.
