Note on inner sleeve:"We felt that having Diz record with today's hot young players, utilizing the state-of-the-art digital recording technology, would present an arena where the creative juices could flow".
The result speaks for itself!

Some beautiful flowers in the dirt. If you like Paul McCartney/Elvis Costello-collaboration on 1989 album "Flowers in the dirt", you will love this one! Listen to a cool version of Chuck Berry song "Come on" track A4 (not noted on backcover song-list). Herbie Flowers (what a beautiful name!!!) knows how to play the Beatles-bass guitar.....
Happy summer holiday to every fan of vinyl albums and to every visitor of this thread!

A feast of Les Paul Gibson guitars and bottlenecks.

The name of this folk group is "Hickory Wind". And it's 1976 album is called "Fresh Produce".

[Fritz The Cat]

John Scofield is fighting against too many synthesizers. No chance. There are only 2 acceptable tracks: "Song for friend" part 1/part 2. The rest hasn't any soul and is simply boring.
Waste of vinyl.

[Fritz The Cat]

One of the most enthralling live recordings. Wonderful 70ies live rock concert vibes.
Live 1970 at Croydon and Sunderland. Track B4 "Get where i belong" is a March 1971 Island Studio recording.
A great voice and an incredible intensive Les Paul Gibson guitar played soulfully.
Listen loud to track B2 "Mr. Big"!
Mr. Big No1: Kossoff was one of the best guitar players. A tragedic career.
Mr. Big No2: Rodgers still is one of the best rock singers. A phenomenal career.
Very good 1977 German Island pressing by Alsdorf.

[Fritz The Cat]

Cool Brazil tunes. Produced by Peter Drake. Chuck Loeb guitar (Stan Getz/Steps Ahead).
Listen to James Taylor song "Don't let me be lonely tonight" B1.

[Fritz The Cat]

The twin wizards produced their last witches brew together. Hey, these 2 boys can make big noise!
And majestic hymns!
Listen to instrumental hymn B5 "Sweet dreamer", a Ronson-masterpiece, full of grace.
The title of this album: "Why you? I oughta!". Soon after, Mick Ronson has died of liver cancer.....
