What's Playing Now

[Fritz The Cat]

A man and his guitar sings his songs. There was nothing but the blues. Look at the pen in his shirt pocket on front cover picture.......
Wonderful booklet with extensive liner notes fixed to inside of fold cover with drawings of Emmering Weninger.
Good Holland pressing. Philips Microgroove.
60 years old vinyl in good condition.
Music history of the 20th century.

[Fritz The Cat]

Is there any future for vinyl LPs? There are many "Vinyl futures". Plural!
Listen to track A1 "Nina" and forget Led Zeppelin.
Then listen to track A2 "Shades of blue" and forget Boston.
Then listen to track A3 "Treat me right" and forget Scorpions and Ufo.
And the drums in Bonham style!
And so on......
A forgotten gem because we have great guitars and vocals here!

[Fritz The Cat]

Oscar Moore guitar
59 years old vinyl!!
Old US vinyl never gets destroyed if you take care of it. Unfortunately somebody used the side B as a dish.....Such is life? Nooooooo!
We all have a second side that's in better condition, isn't it......

The Spencer Davis Group - I'm A Man
(1967, United Artists) Monarch symbol in the deadwax




a very young Stevie Winwood:

Well, my pad is very messy
And there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music
And I always play to win

I ain't got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff

But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so

Good dynamics. Old US vinyl! 54 years. Those were the MONO times! Heavy vinyl. Perfect vinyl pressing work was standard then.
Fine for a hot summer evening after hard work with a cool beer.

Nice. Linda Thompson has one of those voices, she could sing the phone book and I love it. Richard Thompson is such a understated, great guitarist.
