Maybe our favorite album ever from Traffic – a set that has the group coming back together, after a fracture that took them in separate musical directions – reformed with a sound that's very different than before!

Traffic get some help here from Muscle Shoals heavyweights Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, and Jimmy Johnson – a trio who help the group continue that richer, more expanded sound that was first unfurled on the group's Low Spark album!

(Original corner-cut cover, including the printed inner sleeve. Cover has some ring & edge wear.)
The second album from Traffic, and a set that forever cemented their legacy in the annals of modern music – a set that has Dave Mason returning to the group after a brief hiatus, and maybe helping the quartet find a tighter, rootsier sound overall! The approach here is nicely mixed – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Pink & orange label pressing with Bell Sound stamp, with intact booklet! Cover has light surface wear & aging.)
The debut album of Trapeze – a great little group that's maybe best known as the early home of Glenn Hughes, but who have plenty to offer on their own!

Tubes —
Now ... LP A&M, 1977. Very Good+ ...
$4.99
The third album from The Tubes – weird, fun and satrical sets that sounds to us like they were recorded a good decade later than that!

(In a green back cover. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch and light wear.)
One of the real standouts in the late 70s run of records from The Tubes – a set that's not only got the tunes united by a concept, but which also features some impeccable production from Todd Rundgren!

Ulmer on Blue Note – who'd a thunk it? And oddly, although the album's on one of the most jazz-based labels at the time, it's also one of Ulmer's most rock-oriented – with strong lead vocals on nearly every track, and an overall style that's as bluesy as it is experimentally jazzy. ...

Prime psych folk material from Unspoken Word – a late 60s combo that blends acoustic and electric grooves, and a spiritual lyricism – with the free flowing adventurous in the sophisticatedly crafted tunes!

The Vaqueros created music hundreds of miles from the ocean – working in the Twin Cities in the 60s – but that didn't stop them from creating some mighty nice surf numbers at the time, which were then mixed with more rocking numbers that sported a very cool female singer in the lead! ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An album of pure genius – easily one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever, and a landmark set from the Tropicalia years!
