Is it okay to headbang in your late 50s?
|
Uriah Heep – High And Mighty (Bronze 1976)
Sharing the oddness with Uber. It’s really a Ken Hensley solo effort. Weep in Silence and Confession are okay. The rest is very US-style AOR.
|
Black Sabbath – Paranoid (Vertigo 1970)
Unfortunately only VG vinyl. One little jump otherwise ok. Some surface noise. I'll run it through the US.
Both Sabbath on system 2.
|
@uberwaltz How was the Heep?
|
The Horseflies – Human Fly (Cooking Vinyl 1987)
Another from the 'bought due to great reviews back in the day' pile. Solid.
|
Tone-Lōc - Cool Hand Lōc (Delicious Vinyl 1991)
UB40 – Present Arms In Dub (DEP Int 1981)
Sub time. 1 side each. I've a headache.
|
Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs (Harvest 1970)
Greatness incarnate.
|
@Uber Yeah, the early stuff was sorta cool in a retro-LOTR vibe. But man, there is some utter gutter in the later stuff.
|
Syd was the Bob Calvert of Floyd. |
|
@tomic601 loads more detail on the MoFi but it seems oddly compressed I heard an Acoustic Sounds demo of before and after records and it was the same deal. Sounded great 'n' all but I preferred the originals. |
The Blues Project – Live At Town Hall
(Verve Forecast 1967)
|
@boxer12 Happy Birthday man! |
Willie Mabon And His Combo – The Seventh Son (Crown Prince 1982 mono)
|
Roy Harper - Descendants of Smith (EMI 1988)
Roy Harper - Born in Captivity (HardUp 1984)
Roy Harper - Death Or Glory (Awareness 1992 CD)
|
Ruby Braff / George Barnes Quartet With John Giuffrida & Wayne Wright – S/T (Chiaroscuro Records 1975)
|
Martin Stephenson & The Daintees – Boat To Bolivia (Kitchenware 1986)
A Gem. Folk, reggae, country, blues.
|
Home-Service – Alright Jack (Making Waves 1985)
As British as it gets. Bought it when it came out due to rave reviews.
|
Brian, I think you might be bored with those boring cartridges.
London Super Gold/Decapod is what you need. |
Barbara Dane – Sings The Blues With 6 & 12 String Guitar (Folkways 1964)
|
Leonard Cohen – Death Of A Ladies' Man (Columbia 1977) |
Little Walter – Confessin' The Blues (Chess 1974)
|
Diane Schuur & The Count Basie Orchestra @big_greg Yup. Welcome to my world! |
Ry Cooder – Chicken Skin Music (Reprise 1976)
|
@tomic601 You're most kind.
|
The Fleetwoods – The Fleetwoods Greatest Hits (Doltan 1962)
|
Elly Stone – S/T (Columbia 1969)
Different. If you like your folk left of center, take a chance on this. It's wonderful.
|
Ian & Sylvia – Lovin’ Sound (MGM 1967)
I’ve a soft spot for these two.
This German stereo pressing has a very w-i-d-e soundstage.
|
King Curtis – Soul Serenade (Capitol 1964)
Good album. Curtis was attempting to carry an air conditioner into his apartment when a Juan M. refused to move from the entrance. A fight ensued and M. stabbed Curtis. 37 y.o.
|
Jimmy Rushing With Oliver Nelson And His Orchestra - Every Day I Have The Blues (Bluesway 1967)
|
Dottie West – Feminine Fancy (RCA Victor 1969)
Smooth voice. Sentimental. The sort of stuff your old man might have played while making his move on your mom.
|
Jackie DeShannon – New Image (Imperial 1967)
Mint gem and superb recording. Can't beat plaintive sixties songs sung by a beautiful woman.
|
Lana Cantrell - The Now Of Then! (RCA 1969)
Lovely voice. Sweet recording. Nostalgia in abundance.
|
Jim's dancing by the ocean! |
Brenda Lee – Reflections In Blue (Decca 1967) |
@tomic601 First laugh of a tough day! Man, these 60s records are where it's at! And those female vocals...
|
Cap'N John Handy With The Claude Hopkins Band - Introducing Cap'N John Handy (RCA Victor 1967)
|
Josh White – S/T (Archive Of Folk Music 1967 mono)
I prefer his older work.
Anita Bryant – How Great Thou Art (Columbia 1968)
Interesting historic white gospel but ultimately pretty awful.
1/2 side each.
|
Pulp – Different Class (Island 1995)
One of my favorites. Bought it when it came out and it’s now a collector’s item. $$
|
Albinoni, Corrette, Handel, Mozart – Adagio For Organ And Strings / Concerto For Organ, Flute And Strings / Organ Concerto No. 13 In F / Organ Sonata No. 4 In D (Turnabout 1967)
Not the most dynamic recording. Why leave an inch of dead wax?
|
Hank Locklin - Bummin' Around
(RCA Camden 1969)
Nice recording. Old-style country honky tonk. |
@boxer12
Wooden Wand / Death seat
Probably my most played new album. |
Marcy Lutes - Debut
Julie London - Love Letters
Julia Lee & Her Boyfriends - A Porter’s Love Song
Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring
The Osborne Brothers - Up the Hill and Down
Marianne Faithful - Go Away From My World
Eddie Haywood - At the Piano
|
Alberta Hunter – Amtrak Blues (Columbia 1980)
Classic. Great recording. A must-have in any collection.
|
Marlene Dietrich - Wiedersehen Mit Marlene (Capitol 1960 mono)
It's in German. Who cares? What a voice. |
Ferde Grofe - Played By 101 Strings – Grand Canyon Suite
(Somerset 1959)
"Westrex cutter head driven by a Sculley lathe."
They must have done it right. Cost me a few bucks. Sounds excellent. Sweet as a nut! |
Carmen McRae – Bittersweet (Focus 1964 mono)
Sparse arrangement lets her voice do its thing. Mostly very good.
|
Kay Starr – Kay Starr Sings Volume 2 (Coronet 1963)
|
Jane Morgan - The Second Time Around
(Kapp 1961 mono)
Not bad. Not great. Nice. Meh.
|
Florian Zabach - 'Till The End Of Time (Mercury 1959 mono)
Violin maestro with some of-the-era syrupy violin ballroom orchestration. But the playing and recording is warm and glorious. |
