Wow, nice. Haven't listened to this in several years. w/ Keith Jarrett, George Benson, Airto.

How is the inner fold cover? CTI had wonderful cover art. Superb production.

(1978, Columbia) WLP

Holland pressing. Let's not forget the superb guitar playing by Chris Spedding. And Herbie Flowers bass! Listen to track C1 "The red weed and Parson Nathaniel": Phil Lynott (as driven mad Parson) sings the impressing duet with outstanding Julie Covington (as Beth, his wife). There must be more to life...... The red weed (look at the photo below) is a symbol of the world in our present time, especially in Europe ...........

[Fritz The Cat]

Shurely he is a well respected guitar man. But look at this really ugly cover art. Why does he treat his Gibson that way. Why does he play guitar with that kind of arthrosis? Why does he sing? Who likes this LP? Why do you? Questions questions questions......

[Fritz The Cat]

Oh, why did they do so miserably.... The disturbing cover art is dumb and ugly. It's not possible to understand the meaning of it all. Was this one produced only for the US market? Why do we (Europeans) feel so differently? Forget track A1(it's simply dull). But the rest is simply the best. Hey, this is a big one!!!
One of the most impressive LPs ever (without track A1 and the cover art). Sometimes there would be need of a superb producer.......

King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
(1969, Island Records) UK pressing




nice

Look at my post of 12. September 2015. Its cult!!!!

[Fritz The Cat]

This is a rare one (in Europe). Listen to the swinging track A6. Didn't you know: life may be so is easy.....

[Fritz The Cat]

A big and special one because of it's simplicity and nativeness. Good US pression with superb dynamics. Listen to track A3 "Outside was night".

[Fritz The Cat]

Don't you think we had this already in the seventies? Sorry, but it's a hype. Poor dynamics.

Howdy Moon - s/t
(1974, A&M) WLP, Artisan and Monarch symbols in the deadwax




Valerie Carter's band before her solo career. produced by Lowell George. w/ Lowell George, Van Dyke Parks, John Sebastian, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, other Little Feat members. Lowell George is credited with flute, electric guitar, moog synthesizer, slide guitar, background vocals.

[Fritz The Cat]

Too much vapour produced by Larry Carlton. It's only the poor man's TOTO. No hookline. No song to remember. Why did Larry Carlton produce this generic music? Who likes this one? Why do you?

How is the inner fold cover? CTI had wonderful cover art. Superb production.

Yes nice covers, but a lot of the CTI titles are hit and miss for me going into the 70's and starting to cater to the easy listening/white wine crowd. Beware of anything with arrangements and strings (unless it's your thing of course). The inner gatefold is black & white text credits and a B&W picture of Hubbard with trumpet.

Nice!
