Santana ~ III (1971)



Santana ~ Amigos (1976) - Has my favorite Santana number on it - Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)



If you don't know much about Santana but like classic rock and might torch an occasional bud try to find a short movie called Light Dance.
It's a collection of Santana songs set to amazing visuals.

 

Santana ~ Abraxas (1970)

 

Saturday surf music

If you like guitar, drums, guitar, drums, guitar & um, drums, you'll like The Ventures

The Ventures ~ Golden Greats (1968) (Tequila, Wipe-Out, etc) - mint condition $1 SA score



The Ventures ~ Wild Things! (1966)



The Ventures ~ Self Titled (1961)



The Ventures ~ Twist With The Ventures (1962)

 

That was the one thing Vinyl has over CDs larger cover art .
Does that old player still work ?
hows the sound quality ?

 

Cover art and price.
I get near mint records for a buck or three.

This player is 100% but it has twin 4"ers + 12"s.
4" speakers are not tweeters but midrange.
It sounds very good but not quite "Holy ****!"

I will be getting my top-o-da-line 1965 Maggie's guts back this week.
The tech has replaced almost everything on the tuner/pre-amp and the separate amp is 100%.
The unit has large horns and 15"s and is definitely a "Holy ****, that sounds great!" kinda Magnavox.

 

James Brown ~ Sings Out of Sight (1968 - recorded in 1964)



James Brown ~ Cold Sweat (1967)



James Brown ~ I Got the Feelin' (1968)



James Brown ~ The Popcorn (1969)



James Brown ~ Sex Machine (1970)

 

While i am not a huge fan of Yes, the artwork in some of my friends Yes records was very memorable.

 

Blues Brothers ~ Briefcase Full Of Blues (1978)



James Brown ~ Super Bad (1971)



Elton John ~ Self Titled (1970)



Elton John ~ Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player (1973)



Elton John ~ Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (1975)



Eric Clapton ~ E.C. Was Here (1975)

 

Ian Gillan Band ~ Child in Time (1976)

I so wanted to like this but alas...it sucks.
Jesus Christ Superstar, Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Who Do We Think We Are, Perfect Strangers.
It's all Ian Gillan but I won't even put this album in the same list.
To call it Child In Time is just blasphemy.
I'll quit beating around the bush, I don't like it.



Box Of Frogs (1984)

I don't care if Jeff Beck & Rory Gallagher are on it.
The last song is very good but it can't save this album from being 80s trash.
Store it with Flock Of Seagulls, Duran Duran and Wham



I needed to play something good so up next was
Beatles ~ Hey Jude (1970)



Bob Marley & the Wailers ~ Exodus (1977)



Red Rider ~ As Far as Siam (1981)

Lunatic Fringe is the first song on side 1.
The rest of the album is a mix of rockabilly & Bryan Adams sounding stuff.
It's Tom Chochrane (think Life Is A Highway).
It's non-essential but listenable.
It's definitely a keeper though because of Lunatic Fringe.

 

It was homegrown night at Mowgli's house

Rappin' Rodney (1983)



Woody Woodbury ~ Looks at Love and Life (1960)



REO Speedwagon ~ You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish (1978)



Bob Seger ~ Seven (1974)



America (1972)
