What's Playing Now

[SpeakerLabFan]

Mimi And Richard Farina - Celebrations For A Grey Day
(1965, Vanguard)



debut record with Bruce Langhorne on electric guitar. Dulcimer combined with folk & electric guitar adds an edge, nice music for a rainy Saturday morning.

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
(1965, Columbia) CL 2328 Mono



with Bruce Langhorne's guitar including Maggie's Farm where he plays Lead, and Mr. Tambourine Man - which was inspired by Langhorne.

The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
(1965, Columbia) 1966 pressing with "360 Sound" in white on the label

Gentle Giant- Acquiring The Taste
(1971, Vertigo) MASTERDISK G.K. in the deadwax; mastered by Gilbert Kong at Masterdisk



progressive rock, hard rock, and gregorian chants.

Their first wasn't bad, but its not their best ...
try Octopus, or Three Friends, or In a Glass House for better stuff by them.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Cannonball Adderly - Somethin' Else
(1959, Blue Note) 1966 pressing with "A Division Of Liberty Records" on the label



a $1 pickup at a random unadvertised estate sale this morning, along with 29 other tasty jazz and rock finds. Bluenote, Clef, Roulette, Verve, Riverside, Cadet. "Dad was a jazz fan" - music to my ears.






Gentle Giant

Their first wasn't bad, but its not their best ...
try Octopus, or Three Friends, or In a Glass House for better stuff by them.

I do have an Octopus U.K. Vertigo pressing, and several other GG titles, would love to track down Three Friends or In A Glass House on a black licorice pizza. They're an auto-buy for me, even their later stuff like Free Hand.

I always get a laff out of that Santana poster - little Chipito (4th from left) looks like he has to pee and cant wait for the photo session to end...

Bee Gees - - Odessa
(1969, Atco)



I've had this record for a few years, this is a first listen. The early Bee Gees made some interesting 60s music, pop ballads, progressive rock. Listening to record 1.

Odessa was initially released on Atco Records in a red flocked cover with gold lettering. Due to the high cost of production, as well as allergic reactions among workers during assembly, this design was discontinued

The Dave Clark Five - The Dave Clark Five's Greatest Hits
(1966, Epic) LN 24185 Mono pressing

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Beatles - Meet The Beatles
(1964, Capitol) T 2047 2nd '64 pressing with ASCAP and BMI credits on the label




Like DC5, another British invasion band with US title. Whatever became of these guys? a $1 Estate sale pickup this morning, pristine except the smudges and dust and cleaned up well on the VPI 16.5.

earlier...

Various Artists - Freakout U.S.A.
(1967, Sidewalk)



A compilation from a Tower/Capitol spin-off label. 8 garage/psych bands.

now...

The Rutles - self titled
(1978, Warner Bros)



soundtrack with songs composed by Neil Innes, a 7th member of Monty Python but also was a member of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band in the 60s who were featured in The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour performing "Death Cab For Cutie". George Harrison (interviewer), Mick Jagger and Paul Simon (playing themselves) are included in the soundtrack.

Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny
(1959, New Jazz) 1987 OJC reissue

[SpeakerLabFan]

Poco - Pickin' Up The Pieces
(1969, Epic)



Inspired by the country-rock thread in the music forum. The sun is out, seems like a good time for this good-time country-rock debut from Poco. Nicely recorded, sounds like a continuation of Buffalo Springfield.

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Newport 1958
(1958, Columbia) Aussie import on CBS Coronet label KLP 780



a record that I picked up yesterday at an E-sale, cleaned up well on the VPI 16.5 and looks great, sounds great with minimal surface noise. I'm listening on a pair of Carver Amazings with 60" of planar transducer ribbons on each side; great for jazz. w/ Paul Desmond (as), Dave Brubeck (p), Joe Benjamin, Norman Bates (b), Joe Morello, Joe Dodge (d)
