    J. Geils Band - Monkey Island
    (1977, Atlantic) MCR JB in the deadwax; mastered by Joe Brescio at the Cutting Room, Record Plant, NY



    9th album from J. Geils. AllMusic says that this one has the "innate Geils Band charm" and I agree. The Peter Wolf vocals, Magic Dick harmonica, are there along with the Brecker brothers sitting in. The earlier stuff (Bloodshot, Full House...) from these guys is mandatory, and if you dig, you will probably like this. Worth a listen.

    Walter Becker Donald Fagen - The Early Years
    (1984, Passport/PVC) STERLING in the deadwax; mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, NYC



    The duo's early pre-Steel Dan compositions recorded here between 1968-1971. Those days included a stint with Jay and the Americans under pseudonyms, and in the early 1970s, as pop songwriters, prior to forming Steely Dan. They cranked out Brill building material for established artists (Babs Streisand covered one of their songs) and their own quirky tunes laid groundwork for their later plans. One song here "Soul Ram" includes the words "steely dan". I can hear initial hints of the Dan cynicism and sarcasm in these early tunes.

    Walter Becker Donald Fagen - You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It
    (1971, Spark) 1978 Canadian reissue on Visa

    Reissue of pre-Steely Dan (Becker, Fagen, Denny Dias) is a soundtrack album for early Richard Pryor movie, 'You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It' from 1970. I think was from when they were in LA working as staff songwrters for ABC Dunhill records - liner notes indicate that they wrote songs for Dusty Springfield, The Grass Roots, Denny Doherty. I grabbed this from a 50 cent clearance bin in August, along with The Early Years title.

    track list:
    You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It 2:58
    Written-By - Fagen* , Becker*
    Flotsam And Jetsam 3:29
    Written-By - Fagen* , Vance* , Becker*
    War And Peace 1:43
    Written-By - Discepolo*
    Roll Back The Meaning 3:44
    Written-By - Fagen* , Becker*
    You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It (Reprise) 0:42
    Written-By - Fagen* , Becker*
    Dog Eat Dog 3:43
    Written-By - Fagen* , Becker*
    Red Giant/White Dwarf 8:01
    Written-By - Fagen* , Vance* , Becker*
    If It Rains 7:04

    well as you'd expect from those two, the lyrics (search on "soul ram lyrics") are pretty salty.

    Good hunting tomorrow.

    Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
    (1974, ABC) Quad pressing



    3rd album from Steely Dan. with a bunch of session aces including Timothy B. Schmit - bass, vocals, Wilton Felder - bass, Jim Gordon - drums. probably my favorite Dan album, hard to say because all of them are played out for me. killer pop/jazz/rock tracks from start to finish here, plus a chance to take a piece of Mr. Parker's band. According to wiki:

    The album was originally released in 2 channel Stereo and also in a special 4-channel Quadrophonic mix. There are some significant musical differences between the two mixes. This was the last of three Steely Dan albums to be issued in both 2 and 4 channel formats.

    Bloomfield Kooper Stills - Super Session
    (1968, Columbia)



    May 1968 when Bloomfield was in the process of leaving the Electric Flag, and Stills was in the process of leaving Buffalo Springfield and a few weeks away from joining up with David Crosby and Graham Nash. with Harvey Brooks from Electric Flag on bass. I can hear the twangy Stills' Buffalo Springfield guitar chords on the Dylan tune; he also stretches out with some Hendrix-like amped up licks on the "You Don't Love Me" jam. love this record.

    On the same performance? That would be like Ted Nugent and Dan Fogelberg.

    Colosseum II - War Dance
    (1977, MCA)



    formed by Colosseum drummer Jon Hiseman. Jazz fusion heavy on the synthesizer. I was hoping to hear some of the progressive bite of the original Colosseum, but this sounds pretty bland to me.
