Joe Cocker: Fire it Up Live (Cologne, 2013)

.
about 100 y.o.
forget 180g .... these are 3/4 pound each
one side has disk number -R and the other a -L
that's a quarter laying next to the edge.

Edison’s 10-inch discs played for nearly five minutes per side with 150 threads per inch (TPI), and revolved at 80 RPM. They were also ¼-inch thick and were filled with wood flour, or later, china clay.

A latecomer to disks, Edison in 1912 introduced an 80 RPM record of a unique type, never copied by any other company, designed for playback with a permanently mounted precision-ground diamond stylus. Once seen, Edison "Diamond Discs" are instantly recognizable: ¼" thick, 10" in diameter , laminated in construction, with noticeably finer grooves than the average 78 and surfaces pressed not in shellac but in a Bakelite-like material actually called Condensite. I like to say that they are the closest thing man has devised to an indestructible object as long as they aren't played with a steel needle

Jefferson Airplane - Thirty Seconds Over Winterland
(1973, Grunt) -1s/-1s





A favorite live album, I wish I'd seen one of these performances. I prefer earlier/earliest versions of the band but here is Kantner, Slick, Kaukonen & Casady running through a great set including fun commentary from Grace ("I can't either" during Crown Of Creation).

Mike & Sally Oldfield Pekka Pohjola - s/t (aka The Mathematician's Air Display)
(1981, Happy Bird) Holland pressing




Originally released on Virgin in 1977 as The Mathematician's Air Display.

I have the original 1977 pressing of The Mathematician's Air Display
on Virgin Records. Pekka's bass is amazing on this album -
but when did Pekka's 3rd album lose his name on top billing
so it turned into an Oldfield family product?

I know Pekka died a few years back, but that seems crass at best ...

Frankly - that cheap jacket with a triangle and rebranding looks like a bootleg more than a legitimate release.

(1969, Capitol) ST-294, originally released in 1966 as ST-2665

Great title, would like to track down that original release. The German HB label was in business from 1974, lots of nice jazz reissues and compilations, I have a few others. Yes tacky cover but sounds great.

Neil Young - On The Beach
(1974, Reprise)




recycled pictures. I purchased this record in new in 1974, and it's always been a favorite. Have seen NY in concert a few times, always a great memorable performance.
