The Stills-Young Band - Long May You Run
(1976, Reprise)




Neil's guitar - Fountainebleau - is the star on this record.

Thank you for the tip. Heavy guitar tunes.
Listen also to superb swinging hammond playing by Jerry Aiello!
Underrated.

Are you sure? This foto doesn't show a German pressing. "GEMA"-sign is missing. Copyright text on label in English. UK pressing?

yes, good question. There is no indication of the country on the cover either. I did some internet research a few years ago. I didn't make any notes but it was probably the catalog number that pointed me to a german pressing.

The Greg Allman Band - Playin' Up A Storm

Listen to A5 "Good time Charlie's got the blues".
Forgotten?

Buckingham Nicks - s/t
(1973, Polydor) STERLING in the deadwax; gatefold cover

[Fritz The Cat]

Astonishing discovery: Elton John sings the solo parts as member of no name vocal production session group "The Tramps". Probably Reginald Dwight also played the piano parts (B2)
A2 Love grows
A3 Come and get it
A6 Ma belle amie (Listen to this beautiful Elton John version on YouTube)
B2 Bridge over troubled water (with big problems while singing the high tunes at the end)
B3 Let's work together (same rocking style as in "Crocodile rock")
B5 August October (Bee Gees)
P.S.: A4 Jingle Jangle is interpreted by "Lulu"!
Look at the front cover foto: this person seems to be David Byron, who also contributed hundreds of vocal versions on those "No name" productions, mostly created in Pye Studios!
A cheapo with huge value. Look for it in the dust bins at the flea markets!

[Fritz The Cat]

Listen to the beautiful version of Steve Earle's "My old friend the blues" track B5.
Is there anybody left who still uses MCs? I still have hundreds of them in the attic since 30 years.​

A little light music for this hot summer evening.
I remember summer 1985: a hot one.
Julie Roberts voc, Simon Booth g, Larry Stabbins sax&flute.
Strong horn and string arrangements.
No synthies! Listen to A1 Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues"
Hot tracks for cool cats.....
