[SpeakerLabFan]

Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert
(1973, Polydor)



A nice live performance w/ friends alongside including Pete Townsend and Steve Winwood - really like Winwood's vocals on In The Presence Of The Lord.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Norman Blake - Lighthouse On The Shore
(1985, Rounder)



Some nice fiddle, banjo, cello, mandolin, viola, guitar playing here. "President's Garfield's Hornpipe" "Wildwood Flower."

[SpeakerLabFan]

Larry Coryell - The Restful Mind
(1974, Vanguard)




Several players from the Oregon group (also on Vanguard) on this record including Ralph Towner on another guitar; also tablas, congas and acoustic bass. "Improvisation on Robert de Visee's Sarabande"; "Improvisation on Robert de Visee's Menuet II"

[SpeakerLabFan]

Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs - On Tour
(1966, MGM)



Ring Dang Doo and (My Gal Is) Red Hot on the same LP, makes it worth the spin even if the rest isn't very interesting. They get that nice mid-60s studio treatment.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Humble Pie - Thunderbox
(1974, A&M)



Cool cover design by Hipgnosis - original pressing has an opening to the inner cover, apparently that was censored/cleaned for this later pressing. Some basic R&B influenced rock here, turn it up.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Nana Mouskouri - Guantanamera
(1966, Fontana)



What a voice especially on the title song and a wonderful sounding pressing.

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Grateful Dead - Self Titled
(1967, Warner Bros.) Mono pressing



Ahhhh, time to wallow in The Golden Road. I found this copy at an estate sale a couple of years ago.
dead-icating Cold Rain And Snow to folks dealing with too much ice and snow back east.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Roy Buchanan - That's What I'm Here For
(1973, Polydor) STERLING RL in the deadwax



Telecaster heaven - an incredible cover of Hey Joe "in memory of Jimi Hendrix"

[SpeakerLabFan]

Chicago - Chicago V
(1972, Columbia)



I'd heard the earlier titles, but it wasn't until V came out and my little brother (who was playing trumpet in the high school band of course) brought home a copy that I really wanted to listen end to end. A really nice accessible showcase of their playing from Terry Kath guitar to the horns, definitely my favorite title. My brother was a real fan - I remember he went to back to back shows when they toured around this time. They played at a large sports arena (seattle center coliseum) but with one of those stage-in-the-round setups, near one end of the arena, so you could get really close to their playing by walking around the middle balcony seats.

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Glitterhouse - Color Blind
(1968, Dynovoice) Bell Sound in the deadwax



Nice lush production for this psychedelic pop, great stuff. This was recorded in the same NY studio at the same time as The Band was recording Music From The Big Pink.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Yes - Relayer
(1974, Atlantic) PORKY in the deadwax



Howe, Anderson, Squire + Patrick Moraz. affirmative.
