Vinyl - Record Spinning


Full Range

Recommended Posts

You are missing "Lush Life". Not one of my favorites being that to me it does not seem to be recorded as good as the other two. Great songs though and worthy of picking up. I scratched the copy I had for years, dropped it, but found an unopened one on Ebay at a good price. They are out there.

Cream splits in mid-68 yet Clapton, Winwood (Spencer Davis Group then Traffic),  Baker and Rick Grech became Blind Faith.  A short but amazing run!

 

Whew, ELP in their 1970 debut lp?  Straight to #4 in the UK and #18 on Billboad's top 200 lp's.  "Lucky Man" hit #48 as a single in the US.  Such a great prog/rock lp.  Always a favorite.

That Blind Faith album cover was really rare in Canada.  I’ve only ever seen pictures of it, since we usually got the alternative cover, the black and yellow one.

 

Meanwhile, I’m spinning T.Rex’s Electric Warrior.  That was a really popular album in Canada, but I’ve heard that T.Rex was not as well known in the US.  Is Marc Bolan well known to you guys?

They had at least one hit that was on the airwaves constantly back in the 70s. Wouldn't call them obscure from my perspective but I have forgotten the song. Too much substance abuse on my part probably. Bet I could sing along once I find it!

The cover was actually an 11-year-old girl and not released in the US or Canada.  Quite the stir here in the US and Europe over that one.  Here's a link:  https://vintagenewsdaily.com/mariora-goschen-the-young-girl-featured-on-the-controversial-blind-faith-album-cover-in-1969/

Chillin now with "The Long Run."  Survivin so far!  French doors are open.  Is that a block party or do we all have to have Heineken's and glassy eyes?  😂

 

Me thinks @JohnJ must be watching his "boys" play a real tough competitor in Wake Forest.  17-0 with 10 minutes left in the first half.  Seriously?  I'm thinkin 41-7 for a final.  They're soft as marshmallow's...  😂  🤣  😂

This album was released in 1973 and in my opinion one of the artists finest solo works 

 

Mesmerising is the only description I can give it and on a very sensitive audio system is a joy to hear everything on the black disc 

 

Artist - Rick Wakeman ‎
Title - The Six Wives Of Henry VIII

That tv special was when I first saw Tal W.

Good show Imogen Heap has a fantastic instrument for a voice, & Clapton plays a few too!

 

Tough opponent?:P

Got a more mellow Carlos Santana here but the guitar and percussion that we know is his isn't absent from this one.

Like a lower the lights after dinner and a movie LP!

The cover doesn't have ink on it so the label got the pic
