What Ya Playing??

Sorry to start a new post,but i find it interesting whos listening to what.heres whats been spinning in my cd player.
Howlin Wolf-The Howlin Wolf album

Phantasia-Phantasia(Excellent album from "72,well tripped out)

Jethro Tull-This was dble cd edition

Mixed Up Minds comp

Jasper-Liberation( i read this album was a boring bluesy album somewhere,ok it has the blues but theres so much going on in other tracks,i found it made for a good listen)

Yma Sumac-Miracles(Easy Loungey Yma Sumac goes psych,the music on this album is good but her screeching voice can be irritating)

The Eyes-The Arrival(Great mod/freakbeaty tracks with a huge nod to the "65 Who sound and a proto psych feeling on some tracks)

Started with side 2 of Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers, moved from there to Stooges 1st album, thence to Teenage Shutdown - Jump, Jive & Harmonize comp of US garage (rowdy and exhilarating), now Kongos. Lazy Sunday Afternoon? Absolutely!

OSMOSIS-SAME
Yeah, Mr Time, its RCA label.

Can't in truth say this is getting my groove on to any meaningful extent.
This sort of music demands a few listens before it gears in, but in this case I dont think repeated listening will benefit much.

Re: What Ya Playing??

Right now - Dave Morgan & Richard Tandy: Earthrise Special Edition (on Rock Legacy Records)...
This just arrived this past week (pre-ordered in mid-July, so's I got me a signed copy), and for an old ELO fan this is a revelation. Very much 'Time' era ELO... hell, all that's missing from this is Jeff Lynne's voice - although I have absolutely no complaints about Morgan's vocals, he is a very fine singer in his own right.
Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Perfect way to end the weekend.

Other than the first ELO lp, I find their output unlistenable.

If it's what I'm thinking it's the recently unearthed ,never-before-released recordings of a small-town, Illinois-area psych-rock band that's pretty good and trippy/ downbeat.

Re: What Ya Playing??

Tonight:

CHICAGO Chicago Transit Authority (on CBS) a classic, alternating brass rock to - more interesting to me - psichy tracks

CACTUS 'ot 'n' sweaty (on ATCO) mostly passable US hard rock, partly live

THE CORRIES Scottish love Songs (on Fontana) scottish folk duo, nothing special apart from 1-2 tracks

HOLLIES Sing Hollies (on Parlophone) 1970 stilish pop from the good old Hollies

THE FAMILY ELAN Stare of Dawn (on Locust) rather experimental piece from this never-heard-before ecletic Glaswegian, Chris Hiadowsky

Re: What Ya Playing??

Wow! Thanks for the tip Paul... Amanda Lavender is going to be stuck in my head for sometime to come.
It seems that The Dark Delights ep is only available on limited edition vinyl and there's only a few copies left... I hope these tracks will appear on a full release whenever that may be. These guys just may be my new favourite band...

Re: What Ya Playing??

Glad you liked ot Mark. Yes, it's a limited edition 10" vinyl of just 300 numbered copies. As far as I know only Rough Trade in London are selling it (mail order). It's only a fiver though, well worth having. I hope there's an LP in the offing as well.

GARY USHER - THE ASTROLOGY ALBUM

Just got this psychploitation oddity FOR FREE (along with some banged-up origional early Stones lps on Leutonian press).

Im pretty sure this got misfiled into the freebies box because coverart looks like a children's record.

I've been checking around and it seems only Piccadilly Records have some remaining copies, so I ordered one through them (and I don't even have a turntable!). Now I'll have to find a way to hear it when it arrives... but even if I can't play it, it's going to be a treat to be one of the lucky 300 to own this!

Being a masterman, of course I know who that is.

Re: What Ya Playing??

For someone who constantly plugs prog here I daresay some of you may have noticed I post very little by way of prog.

Well here we have

EMPEROR - SAME (US '77) private press prog that few are aware of

Although rightly speaking much of this is rather lame straight rock.

Proggy bits are lite alla Symphonic Slam.

Duo electric guitars, Jimmehs.
