Album III ... LP Columbia, 1972. Near Mint- ...
$6.9919.99
Album III from Loudon Wainwright III – a fine showcase for his wry songwriting, uncommon melodies and a unpredictable niche in the 70s singer/songwriter realm!

Just Sold Out!
... LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo with SRC stamp. Cover has a promo sticker.)
One of the great mid 70s albums from Tom Waits in his earlier boozy, growling balladeer mode – with lots of slower, piano-led bluesy and jazzy ballads – on top of the jivey, gravelly charisma of his voice and songwriting that already had him approaching legendary status even though he ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Tom Waits's follow-up to Rain Dogs – and a batch of songs that do double duty as a straight-up, stand alone record from his wild years at Island Records – and also as the musical accompaniment to a play he co-wrote with wife Kathleen Brennan! (As Chicagoans, we have a special fondness ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Tom Waits' final album for Asylum – and one that clearly points the way towards the rawly rhythmic, murky atmospherics of his wilder Island years to come – while still bringing out the woozy, gruff balladeer of the earlier albums! It's kind of amazing that the record works as well as ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing with SRC stamp. Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
The great early double album from Tom Waits! This is peak Asylum era Waits, getting into that charismatic, drunken bluesy poet mode – essentially working live in the studio with a small audience , giving it a genuine sounding latenight cabaret vibe, and embracing his wit and style as ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cloud label pressing. Cover has faint ring wear.)
One of the all time great albums from Tom Waits – possibly the pinnacle of his earlier drunken poet style of songcraft – and with some of the most achingly beautiful songs he ever laid down!

$33.9939.99
A surprisingly great pairing of talents – the post-Animals Eric Burdon on vocals, and early grooves from Cali funk legends War – coming together here in a blend that still holds up beautifully after all these years!

Warlock —
Warlock ... LP Music Merchant, 1972. Very Good+ ...
$49.99
One of the stranger chapters of the Holland-Dozier-Holland story of the early 70s – and one of the coolest, too!

(Original pressing! Cover has a bump in one corner, which also has a light stain on back – but rest is nice, and vinyl is great.)

(Cover has a spot of wear at the top, but is great overall.)
The rare fourth album from We Five – still in the folk-based mode of the group's earlier work, but done with a much looser, hipper style overall! The poppier A&M touches of their hits are way behind them here, and We Five are almost moving into a mode that's more studio-spontaneous ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A landmark live set from The Who – a record that offers the group with a blistering intensity that blows away all their other studio albums of the time! Although offered during the Who's Tommy-era expansion into broader themes and more complicated instrumentation, the album's a real return ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(80s pressing on MCA, in a non-gatefold cover, with ring wear.)
A classic greatest hits package from The Who – one that had almost as much life as any of their major full length albums, and a set that served to re-introduce new audiences to the group after the success of Tommy and Who's Next! Most of the tracks here predate those albums – pulled ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A cool compilation of earlier material – some nice lost bits, pulled together in one sweet little set! Titles include "Now I'm A Farmer", "Little Billy", "Glow Girl", "Put The Money Down", "Pure & Easy", "Long Live Rock", "N ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(In the original die-cut cover, with a cutout hole, mild corner bumps.)
A rootsy group from the Chicago scene, but one with a fair amount of wit, too – a subtle political agenda that's buried a bit beneath more rocking modes, and which really helps set these guys apart from the pack! The songwriting is often pretty smart, at least from a social perspective ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has light wear, tiny peel spot from sticker removal.)
Rockin raw soul from the great Andre Williams – and one of his best comeback records of recent years!

(Green label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Amazing stuff – one of those records you see for years, and always pass by – but which yields some real surprises once you dig in!
