Don Cherry
Cherry Jam (2020 Record Store Day Release)Gearbox, 1965.
Never-issued work from Don Cherry – and a really key piece of the puzzle in the career of this legendary trumpeter! The recordings were done for Swedish Radio, with great fidelity – more than just live tracks captured in a club, and instead some really thoughtful material that marks an ... LP, Vinyl record album
Makaya McCraven
Universal Beings E & F SidesInternational Anthem, 2020.
A really great idea for a record – and one that echoes the same "E & F" mode that Makaya McCraven brought to his previous album! The approach here is as unique as the drummer himself – in that McCraven went back to the sessions for the core album, and pulled out material ... CD
Desco/Daptone, 1999. (reissue)
A stunning return to form by Lee Fields, one of the 70s' lost funky geniuses – heard here in the initial set that would catapult him back in the spotlight for a whole new generation! The record was issued by Desco Records – the key precursor to Daptone, Soul Fire, and other modern funk ... LP, Vinyl record album
Chess/Anagram, 1976. (reissue)
A really great record from Solomon Burke – and one that's quite different than his early work on Atlantic Records! Solomon's not going for his roots, and instead works with help from Sylvia Robinson and the team over at All-Platinum Records – to get kind of a pre-Sugarhill dose of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Jimmy Giuffre
New York Concerts – The Jimmy Giuffre 3 & 4 (180 gram pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release)Anagram, 1965. 2LP Gatefold
Amazing music from Jimmy Giuffre – and a much-needed document of this under-recorded time in his career! The 2CD set brings together two different live performances – each done two years after his groundbreaking Free Fall album for Columbia, and with a sound that's even more far-reachin ... LP, Vinyl record album
Camille Yarbrough
Iron Pot Cooker (180 gram pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release)Vanguard/Craft, 1975. (reissue)
One of THE spoken word classics of the 70s funk years – an amazing album based around the poetry of Camille Yarbrough – set to some amazing funky backings! The sound here is incredibly righteous – almost a more sophisticated version of Betty Davis – done with a stark, spare ... LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia/Sunbeam (UK), 1969. (reissue)
A fantastic album from Don Shinn – a little-remembered British organist from the 60s, and one who cut this gem of a record for the legendary Lansdowne series of Columbia Records – home to rare gems by Joe Harriott, Stan Tracey, and other important UK jazz contemporaries! The album ... LP, Vinyl record album
Hi Records/Fat Possum, 1970s. 2LP (reissue)
A killer collection, and a very unique look at the legendary Hi Records – one that goes way past the big hits on the label, and which features the rare singles and unusual cuts that remind us what an important player Hi was on the Memphis scene during the Stax generation! The package ... LP, Vinyl record album
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Because Is In Your Mind (colored vinyl pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release)Philips/Third Man, Early 70s. (reissue)
A nice little set from Screamin Jay Hawkins – done during his surprising revival years at the end of the 60s – and with a nice new soulful twist, thanks to production from the excellent Huey P Meaux! The vibe is definitely different than the Screamin Jay work of the 78rpm years – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Jimmy Sweeney
Without You (2020 Record Store Day Release)ORG, Late 50s.
Never-issued work from Jimmy Sweeney – a singer who's maybe best known for a demo recording that supposedly caught the ear of Elvis Presley – but who is more than fantastic here enough on his own! Sweeney has this nice way of pitching his vocals – able to rise in tone, in a way ... LP, Vinyl record album
Feminine Complex
Livin' Love (with bonus tracks) (2020 Record Store Day Release)Athena/Modern Harmonic, 1969.
There were plenty of girl garage groups in the 60s – but the Feminine Complex have gone onto legendary status over the years – thanks in part to their ability to put together songs that really knock things out of the park! The music often has a quality that's almost ripe for mixing up ... CD
Sun Ra & His Solar-Myth Arkestra
Solar-Myth Approach Vols 1 & 2Corbett vs. Dempsey/BYG, Late 60s. 2CDs
CD...$18.99
20.00
Really unique material from Sun Ra – a pair of recordings that were initially circulated much more strongly than some of his Saturn Records material, thanks to the power of the BYG/Actuel label in the early 70s – but tracks that actually come from a variety of different sessions that Ra ... CD
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
What That Is (colored vinyl pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release)Philips/Third Man, 1969.
Screamin Jay Hawkins caught at the height of one of his first "revival" periods – the late 60s, when he was opening for the Rolling Stones, and popping out of the same sort of coffin pictured on the cover! The style of the record takes the older R&B mode of Hawkins' 50s singles ... LP, Vinyl record album
Specials, Selecter, Madness, English Beat, etc
Dance Craze (40th Anniversary half-speed master – 180 gram pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release)2 Tone, 1983. (reissue)
A big moment for the British ska scene – and the soundtrack to a film that featured live work by nearly all of the big names at the time! The album features live work by artists who owed a lot to 2 Tone, but who'd even moved onto bigger fame by the film – but who are working here in a ... LP, Vinyl record album
Jimi Hendrix
Message To Love/Experience Hendrix, 1970. (pic cover, reissue)
The first official single from Jimi Hendrix and the Band Of Gypsies – that killer lineup that features Buddy Miles on drums and Billy Cox on bass! Both tracks are taken from the second show at the Fillmore East on January 1, 1970 – nice takes on "Message To Love" and Miles' ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
Trading Places (UK), 1981. Gatefold
One of the coolest records from this Bay Area electronic duo – a set that features a mix of analogue instruments with mono synths and Lyricons – including the Lyricon Electronic Wind Instrument – which is kind of a mix of analogue electronics and clarinet! The set was recorded on ... LP, Vinyl record album
Fantasy/Craft, 1970. (reissue)
A pastoral name, but a really hard-hitting band – a power rock trio who come on with a sound that's incredibly full for such a small group! Most numbers here have some really heady bass work – rumbling at the bottom and giving a fuzzier, nastier edge to some of the tunes – and ... LP, Vinyl record album
BMG, 1951.
The complete 1951 March Of Dimes radio show – recorded in 1950, but issued only as a transcription disc the following year! Features all the material from the original 16" transcription record – including a duet with Audrey Williams on "Help Me Understand", the tracks ... LP, Vinyl record album
Warner/Parlophone (France), Late 60s/Early 70s.
Rare grooves from the French scene's trippiest years – the kind of cuts that will come as a good addition to your well-played records by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin! Most of this work is much more obscure, but mostly comes from the same time – the late 60s and early 70s, despite ... LP, Vinyl record album
Samantha Jones
Girl Named Sam (180 gram green vinyl pressing – with bonus track) (2020 Record Store Day Release)Penny Farthing/Trading Places (UK), 1969.
Groovy late 60s pop from Samantha Jones – a British singer who's working here with some great arrangements and productions from UK maestro Mark Wirtz!
