@bslon: That Beat album is a favorite of mine. I saw the band live twice at The Whisky a Go Go in late '79. Fantastic!

 

Bram Tchaikovsky / Strange Man Changed Man
1979 Polydor

Power Pop that can lift you out of your seat

I would love a high end reissue of this one…

Speaking of Steppenwolf, check out this Bob Calvert/Hawkwind gem. You've got to listen to the whole track.
Steppenwolf

Movie soundtrack night last night

Just sublime.
