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
Moondog - Moondog
Dead Can Dance - The Serpents’ Egg
Fritz Reiner - The Reiner Sound - Isle of the Dead
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic
King Crimson - Lizard
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
