Vinyl - Record Spinning


Full Range

Recommended Posts

Started in on a Supertramp roll w/ @grasshopper over in CC&C so here we go on a roll.  lol  Crisis? What Crisis? is the fourth album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in 1975. It was recorded in Los Angeles and London – Supertramp's first album to have recording done in the US.

Funny, now Hodgson, who had no vision for this album, said in the mid-80's it's his favorite lp.  lol

 

Supertramp is the debut album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in August 1970.[3]   It was not released in the United States until late 1977, but available through importers and was usually carried in record stores that specialised in British imports. The 1977 issue reached No. 158 on the US Billboard 200.[4]

Indelibly Stamped is the second album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in 1971. It marked a dramatic change in direction to a more straightforward rock sound, and by admission of the band's own liner notes, "Travelled" is the only song with any resemblance to their debut album. Like their debut, this album was a commercial failure upon release, but in later decades it went gold in France and Canada.

The cover photograph features the tattooed torso and arms of a topless woman. This is the first Supertramp album issued in the U.S.; the cover was in colour (in 1971), but A&M pasted two gold stars over the nipples. The album was banned from a number of record stores in Australia, while others sold each copy inside a brown paper sleeve.

 

No gold stars on this lp!  How'd that happen?  😂

 

The rest is history but yea I've got a ton of 'em just too lazy to take the pics.  lol  Breakfast in America sounds absolutely fantastic right now!  Just got up off my butt and tweeked out "Child of Visions."  Ahhhhhhmazing song!   :)

 

 

 

Hit it and crank it up!  :)

This is a new 3lp pressing that dropped a while back.  Yes Sir, it's everything they say it is.  Crazy dark but fantastic in it's own way!   In a class all of it's own and "they" say it was his best.  I'd tend to agree with them cause it's wild in it's own way!  If ya like him it's a must have especially in the 3 disc format.   Crazy good!   :)

Malcolm John Rebennack Jr. (November 20, 1941 – June 6, 2019), better known by his stage name Dr. John, was an American singer and songwriter. His music combined New Orleans blues, jazz, funk, and R&B.[1]

 

The Sun, Moon & Herbs is a 1971 studio album by New Orleans R&B artist Dr. John, noted for its contributions from Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, and other well-known musicians. It was originally intended to be a three-album set but was cut down to a single disc.[4] The album was described by James Chrispell on AllMusic as "dark and swampy" and "best listened to on a hot, muggy night with the sound of thunder rumbling off in the distance like jungle drums".[1]

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars

Oak tree you're in my way

There's too much coke and too much smoke

Look what's going on inside you

Ooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you

Stuck a needle in your arm

So take another toke, have a blow for your nose

And one more drink fool, will drown you

Ooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

There's plenty of discussion which Led Zeppelin pressings sound the best. 1841 Broadway, UK plum, Robert Ludwig,George Piros, 2014 Jimmy Page reissue. Any thoughts out there?

Bob's about the best out there imo.  Very few can tweek it like he can.  His artist list is long I'm sure.  It's Bob's way or the highway.  lol  Quite a few jumping aboard today but he's stood the test of time.  When it came to tours back in the day it was the Hanley boys.  Yea, Bill I can hear you in the back.  lolol  e v e r y show.  :)
