Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears
(2003, Lost Highway)




2 LPs. a really surprising clearance bin find last week. 5o cents, NM- My first Lucinda LP - so nice to hear her on this format.

"Be my lover don't play no game
Just play me John Coltrane"

Status Quo - Quo
(1974, A&M) WLP




crushing hard rock. a 99cent pickup from a local haunt recently.

T. Rex - The Slider
(1972, Reprise) -1A / -1A




Goes well with afternoon coffee.

The Seeds - A Web Of Sound
(1966, Crescendo) MONO




I think I've only seen this Seeds record once before and it was hammered, the others turn up once in awhile but not this one.

Harry Nilsson - Pussy Cats
(1974, RCA) MCR in the deadwax




produced by his lost weekend drinking buddy, John Lennon. Great covers of Many Rivers To Cross & Subterranean Homesick Blues. Of course this party includes Keith Moon & Ringo.

[Fritz The Cat]

Let the sunshine in......This one brings light and colours into our cold, grey and rainy april weekend here in St. Gallen, Switzerland:
Sir Douglas Texas Tornado with "uncle" Mickey Moody, guitar and engineering. But it's a dynamically mediocre US pressing. Anybody owns a sufficient pressing?

[Fritz The Cat]

Let more sunshine in.......Superb pressing from Holland. Flaco Jimenez accordion.

[Fritz The Cat]

Goodtime music by Sir Douglas organist August Meyers. Recorded in New York with "Asleep at the wheel" and Jerry Jeff Walker's Lost Gonzo Band. Good dynamics.

[Fritz The Cat]

Rich, full dynamics. Superb english pressing. Carlos Santana used to play a Gibson Les Paul in those years. So listen to the twin guitars of track A2 "No one to depend on" and listen loud. Test your equipment!

T. Rex - The Slider
(1972, Reprise) -1A / -1A




Goes well with afternoon coffee.

Bravo! This is a good US pressing. Did you notice, that the front and back cover photograpies were shot by Ringo Starr? It's an iconic LP cover art.

Larry Coryell - Spaces
(1970, Vanguard Apostolic) -1B/-1B





first release with Coryell on the cover. killer fusion with not-bad session players: John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Miroslav Vitous, Billy Cobham.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Bravo! This is a good US pressing. Did you notice, that the front and back cover photograpies were shot by Ringo Starr? It's an iconic LP cover art.

I think I knew that Ringo did the cover art, but had forgotten - great photo.

Nice Santana spin - might be my favorite

The John Coltrane Quartet - Africa/Brass
(1961, Impulse!) Stereo A-6; RVG STEREO in the deadwax



recycled picture. w/ Eric Dolphy, McCoy Tyner.

wow, this is a nice late night listen. takes me back to first exposure to Coltrane and hard bop with a late night FM program in the early 70s

I have a big problem with this one: my wife.
Once in every year i put this LP on my turntable. Same procedure as every year: my wife asks me: what's this we are listening to? Is that music? And she shakes her pretty head.
She doesn't like this famous one. But she is right...... I don't like it too.
This is definitively not our piece of cake. So we will try again next year.....
