Beat Happening's brilliant second album – raw, beautiful and timeless indie pop at its late 80s best!

Joe Beck —
Beck ... LP Kudu, 1975. Very Good+ ...
$9.99
A great little Kudu set from guitarist Joe Beck – a player who's sounding a lot tighter here than some of his odd psychedelic experiments of the 60s – but still pretty darn great overall! The style is smooth, as you'd expect from Kudu, but Joe's still got plenty of edges in his guitar ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A searing set from Bedlam – a group who only ever gave the world one full album at the time, a set that stands as a great bridge between generations and styles on the UK hard rock scene!

(Rare US pressing, on Verve! Cover has a very light trace of an old sticker in one corner – but is very nice overall.)
Superb work from pianist Richie Beirach – a set that's dedicated to Bill Evans, and which certainly embraces some of the key numbers in his songbook – but which also has that even more spacious sound that Beirach was bringing to his trio dates in the 70s! Richie's sense of timing and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, with insert – PAP 25005. Cover has very light wear, but this is a nice copy.)
Fantastic work from Archie Bell & The Drells – an important record that bridges their earlier and later sounds!

Sublime work by a singer who should have dominated the 60s – had he not left this planet in an auto accident early in his short career!

Titles include "Treat Me Right", "Hell Is For Children", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "You Better Run", and "Wuthering Heights". LP, Vinyl record album
A great Tony Bennett LP – very different than others from the time (or any time!) in that the format pairs the master vocalist with the "who's who" of drummers and percussionists of the late 50s – including Art Blakey, Jo Jones, Candido, and Sabu. The sound is as majestic and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Bad Benson ... LP CTI, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$11.99
Pretty mellow stuff from George Benson, but with some nice moments!

(Later grey label A&M pressing in a non-gatefold cover, with wide obi. Cover has some ring and edge wear, yellowing from age, some faded marker and light stains in front, and a yellowed sticker spot in back.)
The first album ever cut by George Benson as a leader – a cooker of a soul jazz set, recorded back when George was the guitarist in Jack McDuff's classic 60s quartet!
