What's Playing Now

[SpeakerLabFan]

Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt - We'll Be Together Again
(1969, Prestige) PR 7606 stereo



Jamming the bebop with standards, blues and ballads.

The Standells - The Hot Ones!
(1966, Tower) T 5049 mono pressing



a $1 clearance bin grab today in excellent condition, I see lots of listings on popsike.com for this one. It's always nice to find 60s garage rock in the clearance bin!

King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon
(1970, Atlantic)

[Ducatista47]

John McLaughlin - Devotion
(1970, Douglas 4)



with Larry Young (who appears on Hendrix - WCSB tracks), organ/electric piano; Buddy Miles, drums; Billy Rich, bass. The gatefold cover's labeled spine is on the right side, which has the cover photo oriented upside down. the inner gatefold is an even more abstract photo with no orientation clues, so I don't know how to look at the damn thing. "Don't Let The Dragon Eat Your Mother"

When I saw and played this in the 1970s the face was at the top, right side up. I remember it being quite a piece of music, drenched in LSD from the sound of it. I have been looking for it ever since.

Ian And Sylvia - So Much For Dreaming
(1967, Vanguard)



another step from traditional folk into folk-rock. A nice cover of Joni Mitchell's Circle Game and their own compositions.

Fairport Convention - Fairport Chronicles
(1972, A&M)




2 LP compilation of Fairport Convention's early catalog with extensive liner notes on the records and the band's history from Jim Bickhart and Sam Sutherland. The second song, from Unhalfbricking (which I don't have), is Sandy Denny's beautiful "Who Knows Where The Time Goes". Another quality record that I've found in the HPB clearance shelf this month - these always leave me wondering wtf is this record doing in clearance, not complaining though.

Jack Bruce - Songs For A Tailor
(1969, Atco)



Bruce's 1st solo album includes guitar performance credited to L'Angelo Misterioso on the first track - I figured that's either Clapton or Harrison, it's George. Sax and trombones including playing from Dick Heckstall-Smith from Colosseum. a $3 pickup today, cleaned up nicely, great record~!
