What vinyl are you listening to?

[DIB]

One of the very first LP's I bought,and my favourite sampler from that period. About 99p if I remember right.

Hawkwind, Groundhogs, Man, If et al. Marvellous.

Ushering the new year morning with:

 

[Lost Angeles]

The second Trapeze album which is not live as the cover may suggest but a more funky/soulful album than the first. It would have been interesting to know which direction they may have gone in if Glenn Hughes hadn't gone to Deep Purple. Perhaps he went there as he didn't like the funkier direction of this album although is singing is superb.
This is not the correct cover as my album cover has no black at the top

 

[DIB]

Just time for a quick LP before going out. One of Richard & Linda Thompson's lesser known albums, but I love this one..

I played the wife's Jose Feliciano "Sweet Soul Music" copy from 1976, absolutely immaculate, reckon she only played it once.
Then this

Hi LA,

I just wondered if you have ever heard much or any My Morning Jacket? Both Lynard Skynard and The Allman Brothers are "influences" on their sound.

MMJ are my favourite rock band of the last ten years. They've made some stunning albums, that in parts, owe something to Skynard, Allman Bros and Neil Young, amongst others.

Charlie, I have not heard of them but I will look out for them from now. Thanks.

Not heard a full album, but they are a favourite of Radio Paradise, and I've enjoyed what I've heard on there. Definitely one for further investigation.

I was listening to The Decemberists "The Hazards of Love" CD at work today and noticed that one of MMJ appears on their album.

What do you think of Uncle Meat ? I bought it on CD and haven't even listened to it all the way through once . Do I need to give more of a chance ?

Hi Nick,

Uncle Meat deserves and probably requires a good few listens. It's one of my more recent Zappa purchases and it's a current favourite alongside Them Or Us. Two very different sounding albums and two decades apart. The production sheen on Them Or Us is very much of it's time.

I've been playing the CD of We're Only In It For The Money today and that's great. A good companion to Uncle Meat.

Great album Jason.
I bought this when it came out 1970, I would have been 17 and only had a Dansette record player to play it on, this was located on the floor of my bedroom. At that time I had the first two Zeppelin albums + some Cream, Sabbath etc. I can still remember putting this on for the first time and listening to Immigrant Song and thinking how different and original sounding it was, completely different to anything I’d heard before.
I hope you enjoy it. If you do get the first album next although it is heavier.
Immigrant Song is used at the start of the film Girl With The Dragon Tattoo although not the Zep version.

 

[Lost Angeles]

Should probably have added this to previous post, today's listening included the following

A varied listening really.

[El Hefe]

One of the gems I got from Singapore trip...Gipsy Kings ...este mundo?..
Kirk Hammet, Steve Vai, Yngwie....might be good metal guitarist...but for pure acoustic melody...Gipsy Kings is the best. I was lucky to be able to see them live...in one of their free street shows in Barcelona...waaayyy back in 1999.... Nice....

And or course...Joe Strummer and his band....

Nick

Nick, you’ll be definitely on my Christmas card list from now on with comments like that.
I hit the big six-O and retirement next year, trouble is I’m still into the albums from my youth and was just reminiscing yesterday.
If you’re seven years younger than me you would have started with something better than a Dansette then. I moved on to a Westminster music centre and then my first real TT a Dual or BSR McDonald, it made that good an impression I can’t remember which, I should have bought a LP12, they were about £86 then if my memories not scrambled.
This afternoon I’ve played so far

All vinyl with more to follow

You may be just a little older than me as well, but seeing your posts, is like watching my past float gently past and reminding me of the great music that is hidden there, in the recessed corners of my memory.

 

[Lost Angeles]

Thanks CnoEvil, now move on to

Great album, might get them to play Wild One at the start of my funeral and The Sun Goes Down from Thunder & Lightning at the end.

Now my Christmas presi from the son

Fired the Onk up so it's 5.1 all the way for the next 2 hrs.
