Me writing about the music I love
And today’s album is With The Beatles by, surprisingly enough, The Beatles! Released on the Parlophone label. As you can see from the state of the cover this is the original mono release from 1963. It’s in a pretty poor condition. I found it among a batch of records I recovered from my mother-in-laws shed […]
And yesterday’s album of the day was The Light Shines on by the Electric Light Orchestra, released in 1977 on the Harvest Records label. The Electric Light Orchestra was one of the first bands I followed in my teen years. One of the first albums I bought myself was A New World Record, which is […]
A few weeks ago, early on in the lock down, bandcamp held #bandcampFriday, a day when any of their profits would go straight to the artist. Needless to say, I indulged! Here’s what I bought… So we’ve got Sadler Vaden – Live at Mercy Lounge. I bought his new album, Is There Anyone Out There? […]
Dropping behind already! Day 19’s album was Electric Mud by Muddy Waters. It was released in 1968 on the Chess Record label. Well actually it was released by a subsidiary of Chess Records, called Cadet Concept Records. It was the second release on the Cadet Concept Records label, the first being by a psychedelic group […]
Over the past few weeks since the start of the lock down, I’ve continued to buy music, mainly through my local record store, Plaid Room Records, in Loveland, Ohio, but also via BandCamp and sometimes direct from the artist. Here’s what I’ve bought this week: On vinyl ex.Plaid Room Records Colonel Les Claypool‘s Fearless Flying […]
Staying in 1970 for today’s album. It’s The Allman Brothers Band – Live at Ludlow Garage . The album was recorded here in Cincinnati, at Ludlow Garage. This venue hosted quite a few concerts in the 1970s of then prominent bands. It was re-opened in 2015 and I’ve seen quite a few artists there, details […]
Today’s album, assuming I get this post done tonight, features Eric Clapton again. This time it’s the 1970 classic double album, Layla and other Assorted Love Songs by Derek and the Dominos. The title track is another of those songs that regularly appeared in Tommy Vance’s Friday Rock Show’s top ten albums list. I’m sure […]
For the past few weeks, even before the onset of the plague I’ve been taking photos of various albums I’ve been playing and posting them on twitter. This started as a result of my new turntable having a cover the doubles as a presentation stand for album covers. As the plague got into it’s stride […]
It’s been a while since I did a blog post. It’s been that long that I thought I’d archive the old stuff and start afresh. Like a fair few other people during these strange times, I find myself listening to loads of music, both old and new. I have to say I’ve not caught any […]
