...even though I've banned myself from buying records. These crawled into my hand, guv...honest.
Otis Redding: 'Otis Blue' Atlantic mono. A revelation: easily cuts the stereo which sounds anaemic in comparison. Sounds like a band playing together not a sort of studio creation.
Fred McDowell: 'Long Way From Home'. The real thing.
Paul Desmond: 'Paul Desmond And Friends'. Impossibly cool.
The House Of Love:' The House Of Love'. Not the first album but a German 8 track compilation of the first couple of singles and some extras. Didn't even know of its existence.
John Fahey: 'The Best Of John Fahey 1959-1977' Oh dear, put your guitar away...it's pointless even trying. Masterful...and weird.
Rickie Lee Jones: 'Pop pop'. Lovely, jazzy, nostalgic wallowing.
