Welp, 15 bucks later I came home with pristine 1st pressings of each of these... Live on the Queen Mary - Longhair Scheherazade - Bernstein w/ NY on 6eye mastercraft Other Voices - Erroll Garner 1st 6eye and damn minty even the cover. Yes, damn minty is a grade.
Check out In Search Of, The Action Is Go, and King Of The Road. Nice fuzzy guitars and killers jams !
One of two of the happiest 'perfect world' pieces of pop that graced the turbulent human bean occupied terra firma of the early 70's (RAM being the other imho). Listening to this one made you feel like you were in the middle of an exciting thriller caught in the spotlight with a bunch of the year's most fabulous dark clad famous stars... oh, wait.
I know Crosby thought he was pushing the envelope and all, but Goin' Back is the better song. As for the Olympics, both me and apparently Mr. T have strangely gotten into curling lately. Snowboarding jumps and mogul freestyling also are pretty fun to watch.
Yes, curling is actually exciting once you give it a chance. And I like all of the downhill races and snowboard/ski things when they jump and do trix and such... Now playing: White Light from 1971
I saw them in some bar in White Plains in '92 or '93 or so. Didn't grab me enough to keep up with but they were fun enough in that situation.
I know Captain Coconut is kind of bastardized and all, but as far as I know there is no other place to get a version of it, and that alone is worth tracking Crash Landing down.
Yeah, I think we are simpatico in terms of Olympics. Anyway, tonight has been soundtracked by the Music on Vinyl version of Gene Clark's No Other (nice pressing) that arrived this weekend, and NRPS' Powerglide, an '80s repress that I've owned since '87 or so, but have mostly neglected. It's not their best, but it's better than I'd remembered and is a good listen at the very least.
Badly phrased on my part here, my friend. I meant the only one I've heard from the new one. The Action is Go is great, the others that you mention too. But thank you for spreading the good word
Since we're now officially on page #666 and that today's news on Glenn Tipton's health aren't exactly uplifting, I have to play this one:
First metal album I ever bought some 33 years ago. Was very disappointed at the time, but now I love it. Heavy but yet subtle with it. The Baez cover is intense. Kinda funny covering a song written about the guy you actually lifted your band's name from.
Evan Parker Sant’Anna Arresi Quintet Filu’ E Ferru Recorded live on 1/2/2015 Parker on tenor saxophone Peter Evans on trumpet & piccolo trumpet Alexander Hawkins on piano John Edwards on double bass Hamid Drake on drums Worst or most confusing title/band name etc. and I’m still not sure of the label but the continuous hour set is sublime and unique for inclusion of Drake in an Evan Parker band / what happens is a wonderful free jazz record with a building groove and subtle power emerging in the music as the set progresses. Well worth seeking out. I could never find it but I was thrilled that Hamid sent me a copy last year. Pretty special from all perspectives
