Bruce Springsteen
Rush
Yes
Thin Lizzy
Ambrosia (some YES clone)
Captain Beyond
Frank Zappa
Genisis/Phil Collins
Dixi-land - anything

You are welcome to disagree, but let's keep it civil. Please add your AGYCS entries.

Captain Beyond - self titled
(1972, Capricorn)
.

Captain Beyond , Cactus & Springsteen are the 3 that chased me OFF of XM ...they had a moron DJ that was in love with that stuff and I couldn't change channels fast enough ...
the only thing that I can think of that could be worse (IMHO) ....would be a trio of Kenny G , Mike Bolton and Yanni

working through a series of albums produced by Daniel Lanois ...
Including but not limited to

The Joshua Tree - U2
The Neville Brothers - Yellow Moon
Acadie - Daniel Lanois
Robbie Robertson - (self titled)
Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball
Willie Nelson - Teatro

Not in the mood for the Eno and Peter Gabriel albums he produced,
but this is a good groove with lots of space ...

[SEAWOLF97]

Today found a LP of Brain Salad Surgery in MINT condition with the foldout ....have rejected 10-15 copies because of condition...but finally.. ...and LOW BUDGET ...(rather a SW mantra)

BSS was such great condition that I wasn't even miffed at having to pay $1.70

The Damnation Of Adam Blessing - self titled
(1968, United Artists) UAS 6738 Stereo



debut record from Cleveland area psychedelic band. blues-rock, psychedelia, folk-rock, and poprock melodics, with excellent vocals from singer Adam Blessing. a cover of Morning Dew and Last Train To Clarksville as well as original songs. I have had this in the basement pile from a bulk collection purchase quite awhile ago, and I'm not sure why I didn't play it earlier - it's definitely my cup of tea. and looking on popsike.com, this goes for big bucks.

Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
(1971, Charisma/Buddah) Bell Sound in the deadwax;



4th album from the English progressive band; Robert Fripp on guitar.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
(1976, Mercury) MASTERDISK G.K. in the deadwax; mastered by Gilbert Kong at Masterdisk, NY



6th record from the Irish hard rock band. Along with the usual smoking blues influenced hard rock, some nicely produced commercial elements. "Running Back" adds keyboards from a session player, and Lynott said that song was very much influenced by Van Morrison. nice.

Junior Wells and Buddy Guy - Coming At You
(1968, Vanguard) VSD-79262; Stereo pressing



Chicago Blues Band ....with Buddy Guy, Lead guitar; Clark Terry, trumpet.

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Association - Renaissance
(1967, Valiant) Mono pressing



2nd record and the last on the Valiant label. with the jangly 60s guitars and vaguely psychedelic pop lyrics.

Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other
(1970, ABC/Probe)



The second album by the British progressive rock band. Trident Studios, London, December 1969. There is a Hammond B3 under-pinning the sounds and the lyrics combine science and mysticism. This is a more striking record than the other VDGG title that I have - Pawn Hearts. According to wikipedia the title is from artist John Minton: "We're all awash in a sea of blood, and the least we can do is wave to each other."

Captain Beyond - Dawn Explosion
(1977, Warner Bros) STERLING in the deadwax



Progressive hard rock band with former Iron Butterfly and Johnny Winter band members. This is a final album recorded after after a 3 year break. Another 50cent grab from the clearance shelf last week.

Traffic - self titled
(1968, Island) 1986 "Island Life Collection" reissue



this reissue of the classic title sounds nice, really great soundstage, such a terrific record, especially Winwood's songs. quite a bit of edgewear on the cover, but LP is excellent so I couldn't leave it in the clearance bin.

The Beatles - self titled
(1968, Apple) 1978 Capitol issue on white vinyl (SEBX-11841); MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the deadwax



US Capitol issue "white" album. Capitol also released red and blue vinyl versions of the 62-66 (SEBX-11842) and 67-70 (SEBX-11842) compilations at the same time. With the poster but the pictures are long gone. a $2 yard sale find a couple of years ago.

Various Artists - The Bridge, A Tribute To Neil Young
(1989, Caroline) Promo/NFS; KDISC in the deadwax; K Disc Mastering



anthology with alternative rock bands covering songs written by Neil Young. A portion of the profits from the album were donated to The Bridge School, dedicated to educating children with speech and physical impairments, and which was founded by Neil and Pegi Young. Some nice covers here. A yard sale find a couple of years ago.

Steve Miller Band - Your Saving Grace
(1969, Capitol) SKAO-331 stereo




4th record from SMB. another trippy early record from Steve Miller. Lots of wear on the cover, which is a Unipak gatefold, the record goes inside the inner pocket. The LP cleaned up well on the VPI 16.5 RCM.
