Fotomaker / S-T
1977 Atlantic

Started by former members of The Rascals, Raspberries, others…1977 Power Pop

Van Halen / S-T
1978 Warner Bros.

Debut album. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen plays what is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time on the cover version of the Kinks “You Really Got Me”.


Gregg Allman / Southern Blood
2017 Rounder

Released four months after his death, GA covers some favorites…I can’t get by his version of Garcia/Hunter’s “Black Muddy River” without a re-cue….or two…


Terry Allen And The Panhandle Mystery Band / Just Like Moby Dick
2020 Paradise Of Bachelors

So much to like here, great storytelling, music, sound quality
 

@noromance Somewhat similar pop rock styles Brian, less on the funk rock. More reminiscent to me of say… a dialed back and smoother pop/rock sound of Huey Lewis and The News. Ace’s big hit—you’ll remember it— is “How Long”.

I’d forgotten about “Midnight Runaway” on that Three Dog Night album…

Ace / No Strings
1977 Anchor

In the mood for some Ace and Paul Carrack tonight…

Peter Frampton / Frampton@ 50
2023 Intervention, orig. 1972, ‘73, ‘75

Outstanding Frampton box from Intervention. Fabulous sound quality (far exceeds my originals), super quiet flat vinyl, really nice high end packaging. No. 1467 out of 2500.

Motown Collected
2021 Music On Vinyl

Amazing song selection, back cover with list shown


Savoy Brown / Street Corner Talking
1971 Parrot

Kim Simmonds on Lead Guitar

@jdougs  I’ll never stop learning…especially about how much some of these LP’s are worth. That said, for me their monetary value will never exceed their listening value. My kids and the insurance agent would feel differently…😎

I appreciate the enlightenment, thanks for taking the time.
Nice system, btw!

@jdougs That’s interesting! I have that same record and it too has his initials like yours…I’d never noticed it before. Cool, thanks!

The Bad Ends / The Power And The Glory
2022 New West

The back cover has autographs.

Two more LP’s of colored vinyl…please…can I just have it in black??!!

@bslon: If you think the U.S. pressing (it’s on A&M Records, not Epic) of Tea For The Tillerman sounds great, wait until you hear the Analogue Productions LP!

@bdp24 Yes…sez A&M right on the cover…sheesh, a late night I guess. I’m an AP fan (preferred over all others), if the reissue has better SQ than my copy it must be Stunning! I remember when it came out and I passed, doubtful it could be an improvement.

I’m sure AP’s version is out of print, you’ve no doubt got spares in your LP arsenal…care to part with one? I know…haha! 😊

Ringo Starr / Ringo
1973 Apple

Ringo’s got a hoard of fellow musicians on this, Beatles included. Great SQ. Full size booklet in the gatefold nicely done with song lyrics left page, wild art on the facing. This was opposite “You’re Sixteen”.

@jdougs Weird, what is that? Zooming in, it almost looks like symbols or something.

Stealers Wheel / Right Or Wrong
1975 A&M

Photo of the inner sleeve with Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty, way cooler than the jacket.

Poco / Pickin’ Up The Pieces
1969 Epic

Outstanding SQ… Rusty Young on pedal steel guitar.

Showing the gatefold

The Cars / S-T
2023 Rhino RE, orig. 1978

A nice reissue by Rhino, now with a gatefold. The outer jacket looks like the original. Great SQ.

Iron Butterfly / In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 
2019 MFSL RE #910 of 3000, orig. 1968

More Hammond and lots of drums on the title cut

Iron Butterfly / Ball
1969 Atlantic

Cool Hammond organ sound on this and Steppenwolf’s album, popular back in the day with a lot of rock bands…gatefold shown

DEVO / oh, no! it’s DEVO
1982 Warner Bros.

This is fun stuff…music, lyrics, sonics
