    Moby Grape - self titled
    (1967, Columbia) stereo pressing




    What a great record. This is a first pressing with Don Stevenson "flipping the bird" in the cover photo.
    I found a later pressing at a yard sale this morning - later pressings have the finger airbrushed out, but still it's a columbia 2-eyes label.

    Jimi Hendrix & Curtis Knight - Get That Feeling
    (1968, Capitol)



    a yard sale pickup this morning. Hendrix recorded this material with Knight in the mid 60s, and Capitol released this work in 68 after his solo career took off.
    Mostly standard soul R&B playing but you can hear Jimi's characteristic playing in places here.

    Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity - Jools & Brian
    (1969, Capitol)



    American issue of pre-ATCO material, unfortunately it's fake stereo. I'm an Auger fan so I grabbed this one from a dollar box at a record show this morning.
    Some nice playing, and singing including a nice cover of John Sebastian's "Didn't Want To Have To Do It".

    Skip Spence - Oar
    (1969, Columbia)



    a really interesting solo record from Spence, recorded over 7 days in Columbia's Nashville studios after he was released from a six month stay in a psych ward. Some really weird guitar chords and soaring vocals - unsettling, grabs the attention. I ran across this at a yard sale a couple of years ago - lucky find because I don't think many copies sold....from wikipedia: "It was at the time the lowest-selling album in Columbia Records history, and was deleted from the Columbia catalogue within a year of its release"

    John McLaughlin - Devotion
    (1970, Douglas)



    recorded after McLaughlin left the Miles Davis band, and pre-Mahavishnu orchestra. w/ Buddy Miles on drums. A yard sale pickup yesterday.

    from the All Music review:

    This recording date grew out of sessions Alan Douglas put together, featuring McLaughlin and Larry Young jamming with Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles (Billy Rich was the bass player). McLaughlin sounded timid next to Hendrix (none of the material with Hendrix has been officially released), but really comes to life on Devotion. This is arguably one of the finest acid rock albums of all time. McLaughlin is on fire, using fuzzboxes and phasers, over Larry Young's swirling Hammond B-3, with Billy Rich and Buddy Miles as the rock-solid rhythm section.

    Runt - self titled
    (1970, Ampex)



    I have this on CD but a nice $1 copy of the record had eluded me until this weekend. This copy has 10 tracks on the LP, so it's not the 12-track mispressed vinyl release, from November 1970.

    Really this is Todd Rundgren's first solo LP since he wrote produced sang and played everything except bass and drums. What a great record! Blues, power pop, Laura Nyro style pop, Rock, piano ballads, prog rock.

    BeBopDeluxe - Drastic Plastic
    (1978, Harvest) MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the deadwax; Canadian pressing



    The last record by BBD. Recorded with the Stones mobile unit at Chateau Saint Georges in the south of France. the AllMusic review says that Nelson chose to record here because he was inspired by the relation of the place with artist Jean Cocteau, who influenced him in the 1960s
