What's Playing Now

[SpeakerLabFan]

Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
(1974, Island) MASTERDISK in the deadwax; 1983 reissue on Carthage Records



I been meaning to play this since last week when my musician neighbor mentioned Richard Thompson as a favorite from Fairport. Tasty English folk-rock. I had no idea this was on the RS list of the 500 all-time greatest records.



These Boots Are Made For Walkin'

been picking up quite a few commons and haven't felt like posting them , but today picked abt 20 candidates in Salvation Army and narrowed down to these 3 ...unless very rare , I just wont buy in "less than mint" condition anymore ...the Who is a double ...starting to really like Nancy..

Nice finds! those early Nancys are great fun especially the duets with Lee Hazlewood, aka Mr. baritone gravel-voice.

The Kinks - The Kinks' Greatest Hits
(1966, Reprise) Mono pressing



Killer tracks which were first heard over AM hit radio on tinny transitor radios as part of the British invasion. I'm sure that "Till The End Of The Day" "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night" led to many transitor speaker melt downs.

Iron Butterfly - The Best Of Iron Butterfly Evolution
(1971, Atco)




Cover art and back cover photographs by drummer Ron Bushy. Heavy, man.

earlier...

Murray McLauchlan - Day To Day Dust
(1973, True North)



Singer songwriter folk-rock, starts off with a folk protest track "Hurricane of Change" that reminds me of one of Dylan's songs. McLauchlan's voice sounds like Arlo Guthrie to me. I picked this up this copy at a Portland, OR record show last year. includes a lyric sheet that was printed on recycled de-inked fibers, which AllMusic notes was probably an expensive commitment to recycling in 1973. I have another title by McLauchlan from 1976, Boulevard.

now...

Diane Hildebrand - Early Morning Blues And Greens
(1969, Elektra)



more singer songwriter folk-rock. Nice pop production on some songs including horns and organ arrangements.

Otis Redding / The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Historic Performances Recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival

Monterey Pop Fest ? in '67 some of my older friends organized a VW van load to go up there to the fest ... it was like $3 for a day ticket , 6 for all days. Dad wouldn't let me go , still had HS work to do...then a year later I end up in school at Monterey , just a little late ....but that was a great launching pad to see the Bay Area concerts of '68

I had forgotten how great an album JT's "Stand Up" is... (so grabbed a digi copy too)

Dave Brubeck - Brubeck A La Mode
(1960, Fantasy) 1985 OJC reissue

[Titanium Dome]

From emusic to my hard drive in three minutes flat...

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Seekers - Come The Day
(1966, Columbia/EMI) U.K. pressing



Folk influenced pop music. Pleasant "Peter, Paul and Mary" style covers of Paul Simon & Lennon-McCartney songs, also Pete Seeger's Turn, Turn, Turn, Tom Paxton's The Last Thing On My Mind; Doug Kershaw's Louisiana Man; John Phillips' California Dreamin'.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Chick Corea - My Spanish Heart
(1976, Polydor) MASTERDISK RL in the deadwax; mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, NYC



Happy Birthday, Chick Corea~! with Stanley Clarke, Jean Luc Ponty, Steve Gadd. 2LP gatefold cover.

Monterey Pop Fest ? in '67 some of my older friends organized a VW van load to go up there to the fest ... it was like $3 for a day ticket , 6 for all days. Dad wouldn't let me go , still had HS work to do...then a year later I end up in school at Monterey , just a little late ....but that was a great launching pad to see the Bay Area concerts of '68

I suppose if you saw concerts in the Bay area in '68, you know what you missed in not seeing Monterrey... I need to check out the Monterrey Pop documentary film again... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3nlvDYnnsQ

Hound Dog Taylor And The HouseRockers - Natural Boogie
(1974, Alligator)



recorded at Sound Studios, Chicago. smokin'

[SpeakerLabFan]

Uriah Heep - Uriah Heep Live
(1973, Mercury) G.K. in the deadwax; mastered by Gilbert Kong



listening to side 3/4. Crushing; with the signature GK quality mastering, sounds better than many studio records.

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Beatles - Help!
(1965, EMI/Parlophone) mid 70's German pressing



The 1965 edition of the Beatles might be my favorite. With horizons expanded by Dylan's influence. The opening scene[/URL] from Help! -- when the scene transitions from the weird eastern sacrificial ceremony to the Beatles performing Help in a black and white music video - Goose Bumps.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Fairport Convention - self titled
(1969, A&M)



English folk-rock. This record was released in the U.K. as "What We Did On Our Holidays", with Sandy Denny's other worldly vocals on Fotheringay, Dylan's I'll Keep It With Mine, The Book Song, and others. Wonderful song writing from Denny and Richard Thompson. I can't get enough of this record or this version of the band.

i don't usually listen to country much, unless it's like this -







this one took me by surprize ,

Girl that sorta looks like Britney Spears wrote and sings a plum sad song -





Dead Flowers Lyrics
Artist(Band):Miranda Lambert


I feel like the
flowers in this vase,
He just brought em'
home one day,
"Ain't they beautiful"
he said.
They've been here in
the kitchen and the
water's turnin' grey.
They're sittin' in
the vase but now
they're dead.
Dead flowers.

I feel like this
long string of lights.
They lit up our whole
house on christmas day.
But now it's January
and the bulbs have
all burned out,
But still they hang.
Like dead flowers.

He ain't feelin' anything
My love, my hurt, or the
sting of this rain.
I'm livin' in a hurricane.
All he can say is,
"Man ain't it such a nice day"
Yeah, Yeah.

I feel like the
tires on this car.
They said we won't go far
but we're still rollin'
I look in the rear view
and I see dead flowers in the yard
and that string of lights.
But and it ain't glowin'
Like dead flowers.
Like dead flowers.

He ain't feelin' anything
My love, my hurt, or the
sting of this rain.
I'm drivin' through a hurricane.
All he can say is,
"Man ain't it such a nice day"
Hey, hey I guess we'll just
go to waste, like dead flowers.

Like dead flowers.
Dead flowers.
