Ronnie Montrose - Open Fire
(1978, Warner Bros)
I hadn't listened to this in a couple of years. instrumental rock jazz fusion, I can see the comparisons to Blow By Blow.

Chick Corea - Return To Forever
(1972, ECM) German pressing
a 50cent flea market find this morning, I thought it was another of the US copies that I see everywhere, but was happy to see it's a German pressing. This title was the first ECM record I heard, purchased new back in the early 70s, followed by Keith Jarrett's The Koln Concert record.

Nice selection! I've always considered this to be Ronnie's masterpiece--his best collection of songs and phenomenal performances IMHO. A very unique addition to his catalog as well...... Never would have guessed in the early 70's that Edgar Winter's "guitar slinger" had this much talent as an artist himself.....
Eric Clapton - The Best Of Clapton
(1970, Polydor) Holland pressing

The Joe Farrell Quartet
I have a couple of those - I wish they had a bit more grit and funk, those 70s CTI records have their moments though.
Ronnie Montrose - Open Fire
very nice playing. Yeah, I could see Johnny Winter involved with this but Edgar??
I actually ran across another excellent copy of this record at a flea market yesterday, could not leave it for 50 cents.

Bobby Brown - The Enlightening Beam Of Axonda

a really interesting one man band outsider California psych record. I recognized the cover because I had seen it discussed before. a truly eccentric record performed without overdubs. a $1 clearance find at HPB today. :yikes:

I remembered my famous 17 different "Hey Joe's" CD from the Napster days
so was letting iTunes play whatever it wanted and it found 23 different
"I put a spell on you's" ....one was really nice (so far) ...a guy I'd never heard of ...Tab Benoit.
anyway here's a Youtube link to that version

enjoy ?
LATER: wow...great versions from Queen Latifah , Nina Simone, Nick Cave and Manfred Mann
(the Marilyn Manson one sux) ..also a nice one from Jimmy Barnes (?) and from Jill West and the Blues Attack.
MORE: good ones from: The Druids of Stonehenge, David Gilmour, The C.A, Quintet,
Brian Ferry & Roxie Music,Bonnie Tyler and Audience.
The "Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings" version had too much horn.
Even later: the Middle Eastern Natacha Atlas variation is rather fun:

America - self titled
(1971, Warner Bros) reissue w/ the Burbank Palm trees label
the later issue front covers have "includes A Horse With No Name" text, so it's weird to see the record in this cover had a later label when I acquired it at some point. There must have been a substitution by an earlier owner of this record and cover.
