For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
ok, if you’re not a believer in the greatness of this band in its mid 70s incarnation, do yourself a favor and listen to the speed and utter rockinness of the 3rd track on sode 1, "broken heart blues" and you find yourself a new guitar god. for me one of those songs and records that, at an impressionable age, living in the blue collar-or-lower culture of east side portland oregon of the 1970s, well, changed my life.
i mean, this was a time before video games and when records were maybe 100 times more important than movies and still even more important than TV. Wow. you didnt even need to be stoned - with music like this on your stereo you could transcend.
Paul Simon - The Rhythm of the Saints

playing a brand new record - dansons avec le ry-co jazz, a compilation of some of their lesser known classics. top guitar album. never got deep into congolese rhumba but it's a whole world of its own and this band is apparently like the beatles in that world. really great stuff
Nice. I’ve been looking at a copy of the complete set, but perhaps the reissues may be the better way to go. I have the CD, but it doesn’t have the best SQ. I am hoping the vinyl version may be better….especially a reissue/remaster
Ted’s debut album. From the back cover: “Ted’s no-nonsense approach to the electric guitar—i.e. one guitar, eight Fender speaker cabinets and no toys in between to mess up the signal”… No kidding around here. “Queen Of The Forest”, nice finale.
