    I've always really liked Nancy's voice & delivery ....ever since the 60's also enjoyed
    "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by the Buckinghams and was doing net searches on it , which lead me to CA's outstanding live version ....as the opening , Cannonball announces that his pianist Joe wrote the song...there seem to be a few variations on the lyrics.
    nice find.

    Agreed...for the cheap type music lover used vinyl is the bomb....for a dollar , you own it for as long as you want...enjoy the tactile experience of LP's....MP3 ? your hard drive dies
    (MTBF sets in) and where did your tunes go ?? thin air.

    OK safari yesterday .....Horton should be fun...thought I saw this Chet album a while back ?? Tommy discs were fine condition, even included the center booklet that I'd never seen before....double for 85 cents.

    (LATER EDIT) Horton was good tho I noticed that he took some factual liberties with
    "Sink the Bismarck)

    Duane Eddy - "Twangin'" Up A Storm!
    (1963, RCA Victor) Stereo pressing



    Duane Eddy and The Rebels, featuring the Rebelettes. A $1 thrift store grab this morning. a really stunning sounding early 60s RCA Victor recording.


    Nice grabs Seawolf. I think the early Chet records, especially Mono pressings are pretty special. I look for good copies of the Who on the Decca label, they seem to have more depth than the later pressings.

    Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction
    (1972, Columbia)



    Bass, Charlie Haden; Tenor Sax, Dewey Redmond; Trumpet, Don Cherry. Love the Charlie Haden bass.
    Another dollar find in the thrift bin this morning. still partially in shrink, a very dusty LP but excellent after a serious cleaning session on the VPI 16.5 RCM.

    Neil Diamond - Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
    (1969, Uni) 2nd edition alternate cover w/ Sweet Caroline added



    Diamond's 4th album, the title track was a top 40 hit. When Sweet Caroline reach #4 as a single, it was added as the last track on a second edition of this record. grabbed this copy from the Half Price Books 50cent shelf a couple of months ago.

    Ohio Players - First Impressions
    (1972, Trip) compilation of material recorded in 1968



    released by the Trip label to capitalize on the Ohio Players success in the 70s. This is gritty southern soul R&B material here, nothing like the later 70s releases.

    Graham Parker - The Up Escalator
    (1980, Arista) DJ/NFS copy; STERLING in the deadwax, mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound, NY



    Last record with The Rumour. I can see the comparison to other "new wave" English singer-songwriters, Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello.

    Happy Fathers Day. Mongolian BBQ is one of the places under consideration for dinner with my kids later today.

    Yeah the first US pressings through 1971 are Decca, it's the label on record.

    Changs opens at noon on Sunday....by 12:45 the line was too long to go for seconds

    Who's Next

    I just picked up the masterdisk copy of that one...still holds up well..

    from Wiki:

    The album cover shows a photograph, taken at Easington Colliery, of the band apparently having just urinated on a large concrete piling protruding from a slag heap. According to photographer Ethan A. Russell, most of the members were unable to urinate, so rainwater was tipped from an empty film canister to achieve the desired effect. The photograph is often seen to be a reference to the monolith discovered on the moon in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which had been released only about three years earlier.[4] Director Stanley Kubrick had declined to direct the film version of their earlier rock opera Tommy (1975); though the film didn't materialize until the mid-seventies it existed as a plan, and was ultimately directed by Ken Russell. In 2003, the United States cable television channel VH1 named Who's Next's front cover the second greatest album cover of all time.

    The Who - Who's Next
    (1971, Decca)



    a classic. I remember hearing this entire record played in sequence over the PA system while sitting in festival style seating prior to the start of at least one concert in the early 70s. the memory is hazy for some reason.
