A few from yesterday...

Crusaders - Images

The Overton Berry Trio - At Seattle's Doubletree Inn

Rick Wakeman - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Ended the evening with Steely Dan - Two Against Nature Analogue Productions 45 RPM.  This ranks among the best recordings I own and I highly recommend it if you're a Dan fan.

@big_greg  +1  Women And Children First is my second favorite VH recording only behind the great debut. "Romeo Delight" has always been my No.1 VH song with "In a Simple Rhyme" placing in my top 10. Since only a few of us are consistently spinning Hard Rock/Metal let's "Keep The Faith"!

Death And Vanilla - To Where The Wild Things Are.....

2017 Reissue on Fire Records

The Galaxy Electric - Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday

2020 Varispeed - 216146

 

Hawkwind – Quark, Strangeness And Charm (Charisma 1977)

"Einstein was not a handsome fellow
Nobody ever called him Al
He had a long moustache to pull on, it was yellow
I don't believe he ever had a girl
One thing he missed out in his theory
Of time and space and relativity
Is something that makes it very clear
He was never gonna score like you and me"

Hawkwind – Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music (Charisma 1976)

Album herein contains one of the greatest tone poem, proto punk, classical fusion songs ever written. Steppenwolf. The lyrics alone are a treasure.
