    Billy Field, Bad Habits, 1981, WEA D, K 90026

    Big surprise. A voice you should be aware of. You want to listen to this one all over again......One of the most surprising discoveries of the last time. All winners, no fillers. A little bit, as Sinatra did his job. No bad habits on this album. Superb german pressing with fine dynamics. Remember Frank.....Today we had the first snowflakes of this winter.

    Pierre Moerlen's Gong, Time Is The Key, 1979, Arista D, 064-63 314, german pressing

    w/ Allan Holdsworth, Daryl Way.
    Some kind of hypnotic mood. This is the german pressing. Fine dynamics. Lead guitar contributions of Allan Holdsworth only on tracks A4,A5,A6. Lowlight of Holdsworth's guitar playing. No heart and soul in this kind of guitar work...... A little bit at the edge of supermarket music. Listen to track A3 "Supermarket".

    The Hour Glass, 1967-1969, 2LP, Liberty US, 1973, UA LA-013-G2

    The Hour Glass represents the first commercial output of Allman Brothers Gregg and Duane. Despite having been in the business for a few years, the boys were manipulated in classic "I'm gonna make you a star"-style into moving to LA dressed up in the hippy gladrags, having songs picked out for them and being allowed to perform only fo a few high-profile gigs. Charming Pop-Soul double album.
    P.S.: it's not possible anymore to manage attachments to this post. Does anybody know where's the problem?

    I wish I had but I was 14 years old in 1970 and not yet attending concerts - although we did have plenty of exposure to rock n' roll in school at the time of course. I might have seen him if I had attended Garfield High School in central Seattle but I grew up .. in the northern suburbs - I recall reading that he made an appearance at his old high school when he was in town for a concert at Seattle Center. (Quincy Jones also attended Garfield). The Reprise Greatest Hits was probably the first Hendrix record I heard from a classmate. Yes, the Hendrix museum - also known as the Experience Music Project - is worth a visit when in Seattle.

    Great overview of this record, I can't recall if I have the original. There was at least one off-label reissue later in the 70s with cheap packaging, that's one I see all the time.

    Grateful Dead - Europe '72
    (1972, Warner Bros) WLP -1A/-1A Artisan symbol in the deadwax




    listening to Record 2, sides 3 & 4. a nice live record with prominent low frequencies. I've heard the phrase "Phil bombs" refer to Lesh's bass playing, seems accurate!

    Mad River - s/t
    (1968, Capitol) Promo stamped LP jacket




    a surprising find earlier this year. described by allmusic as sounding like an extremely dark version of Quicksilver Messenger Service with a bit of Country Joe & the Fish's minor-key melodies thrown in.

    Shall we want to bring it all back home or bring home the bacon? This is the kind of humour of Keith Reid. Procol Harum was great fun. Reid twisted the words as he wanted to. Because it's more fun. Dylan had no humour. Does anybody know a Dylan song with any kind of humour? One of the most beautiful LP booklets! Grand hotel music!
