What's Playing Now

[Fritz The Cat]

Ed Bickert, guitar. Ron Carter, bass. Connie Kay, drums.
The master himself plays his sax very relaxed at Van Gelder Studios.
Good US pressing with fine dynamics.
Highly recommended.

Larry Carlton - With A Little Help From My Friends

first solo LP, recorded in the same year that Carlton was touring with the Fifth Dimension. tasty jazz guitar, shades of George Benson or Wes Montgomery. This young fellow might have a future.

Who were his friends (musicians in the studio)?

Half a century has passed since The Beatles gave their final live concert at Candlestick Park, San Francisco, 29. August 1966.
Underrated historical document.
This LP perfectly shows the non perfect sound of the Beatlesmania in USA. I like the girls' screaming. It was part of the Beatles' live sound. Hey, and that's great: listen to the nearly perfect live guitar playing of George Harrison. What great guitar player he was then!
Listen to Paul introducing the song "Ticket to ride" track A4 while shouting "Can you hear me?"
Still, we may hear Paul McCartney live today after these crazy 50 years........
Is there anybody who had the chance to visit a Beatles concert in the 60ies?

[Fritz The Cat]

Fancy book with the photos of Dezo Hoffmann on 128 pages.
Anybody recognizes the girl between George and Ringo?

[Fritz The Cat]

368 pages of wonderful stories and pictures. German translation. Perfect documentation IMHO.
Which is the best Beatles book?

[Fritz The Cat]

Early Works 1968/1972.
Lovin' Sides A/B produced in 1968 at Abbey Road Studios by Love Sculpture.
Rockin' Sides C/D produced by Dave Edmunds in summer 66 at Rockfield Studios featuring B.J. Cole, Terry Williams and Andy Fairweather-Low. In fact these early works date from 1966 and 1968.

Backstreet Crawler - The Band Plays On
(1975, Atco)

Mediocre UK Kinney pressing.
Paul Kossoff contributing some fine Les Paul tunes though he was heavily abusing drugs at this time.
These musicians were searching for an own way......
