Beck, Bogert & Appice - self titled
(1973, Epic) STERLING in the deadwax



Bogert and Appice originally wanted Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart to join them in Cactus, but Beck spent most 69/70 recovering from a car wreck and Stewart went to Faces. They form a power trio here with some well played and recorded rock.

Funny you shud mention that group ..... I just watched the 3 DVD set of selected acts from the Dick Cavett show (1969).....one disk included The Airplane , and Stills & Crosby ...right after Woodstock.

Grace was just making usual noises, Crosby was showing off his lack of skills, and they were sitting in a circle on nauga mushrooms, Dick asked Stills if he was going to perform (since he had his guitar at the ready) ....WOW, that was the best performance of all 3 discs...Stephen HAS to be in the top 5 American guitarists, (and his vocals arent too bad either.)

Santana - self titled
(1969, Columbia)



I have a couple of nice 2-eye copies, one in shrink with a sticker promoting the hit "Jingo". This record reminds me of Santana's intense performance[/URL] at Woodstock in the same year as their debut album, probably didn't hurt album sales.

Bob Marley and The Wailers - Babylon By Bus
(1978, Island)



Live 2LP set recorded in June 1978. Listening to the first record; it's recorded pretty hot which seems to suit the performance starting off with Positive Vibrations.

Traffic - More Heavy Traffic
(1975, United Artists)

Michelle Shocked - Short Sharp Shocked
(1988, Mercury) MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the deadwax; mastered by Eddy Schreyer at Capitol Studios



rootsy folk songs from the singer-songwriter out of East Texas, the nice production and playing is described as a "Nashville gloss" by one reviewer.

[SpeakerLabFan]

Johnny Winter - Saints And Sinners
(1974, Columbia) STERLING in the deadwax



includes a cover of Jagger/Richards' Stray Cat Blues. Chuck Berry and Van Morrison are also covered. Good late Saturday afternoon music. an estate sale find this morning, my other copy has a trashed cover so glad to find this one.

.
walked in at 5PM opening with a pocket full of $1's , grabbed fast b4 it filled with ooglers and was out by 6:15 ..when you could no longer walk around

I like the John Barry - Bond soundtracks ...Love , Peace & Happiness is a double (most expensive that I bought @$2) ...3 sides bad, but the only cut that I wanted was pristine...the title song is a whole side ...LP&H is very much in the psychedelic vein of THCT.

The Rolling Stones - December's Children (And Everybody's)
(1965, London) Mono; 1966 issue with a boxed "London" on the label

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Beatles - Rubber Soul
(1965, Parlophone) mid 70's UK Parlophone/EMI reissue



I swapped a pair of big Altec Valencia speakers into the rig this afternoon, this record sounds especially nice, Paul's bass thunders on the bottom end. I wonder if it sounds great on the Altecs because the Beatles studio monitors were Altec 605s?
