Koerner, Ray & Glover; Blues, Rags and Hollees, 1963 on Elektra.
Koerner, Ray & Glover; Blues, Rags and Hollees, 1963 on Elektra. My copy is a 1969/1970 repressing, and the outer sleeve has seen better days but the record’s in good shape. Three Minneapolis boys made good as part of the blues/folk revival of the early 60s. Ray died in 2002, and Glover in 2019, but…

The Beatles, The Beatles, 1968 on Apple
The Beatles, The Beatles, 1968 on Apple This is the 50th anniversary remaster edition. I still have my 80s copy too, though the included photos have thumbnail holes from where I pinned the to the wall. Remaster sounds wonderful – and I think this album would still sound fresh if it came out today. One…

Rolling Stones, Let It Bleed, 1969 on Decca/London.
Rolling Stones, Let It Bleed, originally 1969 on Decca / London Records. Mine’s the 2019 50th Anniversary reissue & remaster on ABCKO. Great remaster and quality pressing. You could do worse than adopting “You Cant Always Get What You Want” as a life motto.

My copy is a 2007 Fat Possum pressing. Some folks don’t like the production here by Jack Clement, but I love this record. Via Residency Records, Salem MA

If You’re Not Part of the Solution . . . Soul, Politics, and Spirituality in Jazz 1967 to 1975, 2019 on BGP Records
Another find from Honest John’s in London – a collection called “If You’re Not Part of the Solution . . . Soul, Politics, and Spirituality in Jazz 1967 to 1975” 2 LP set of mostly instrumental jazz/soul on BGP Records. Tasty and woke. Good for “cyber monday” soul-sucking consumerism.

The Beatles, The Beatles’ Second Album, 1964 on Capitol
Keeping on that same theme. Like most of my Beatles vinyl this is an eighties pressing (rainbow labels with rim text). Would have been so rocking to hear Money or Mr. Postman or Roll Over Beethoven in a club in the early 60s . . .

The Beatles, Beatles VI, 1965 on Capitol
Went back to some old Beatles vinyl today.

John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, A Hard Road, 1967 on London Records
The first Bluesbreakers album in a post-Clapton world. Best cut I think is the “Someday after a while (you’ll be sorry)” on side 2. Via Mystery Train Records
