BRUCE & THE ROBIN ROCKERS "LET'S DANCE WITH THE VILLIANS" ('66)
This is one of those notorious cash-ins on Somerset label. As was the case then, they would try to get the most out of it and release same lp under different name, in this case "Batman Theme" (Marble Arch label in UK).

Batman series is camp history and if you see ANY lp from 60s with word "Batman" on it - get it. Chances are good its delightful exotica/garage/surf/cheese dickatron-olla.

Found this rarity today. (Free, natch.)
Can't beat a title like: "Frugging The Riddler"

THE JETHRO TULL CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Wots your UK equivalent of Wall-Mart? Sanbury's?
Anyways, this is not your typical Wall-Mart-toss Crimbo lp.

This is a pure joy.

Certes your not talking complex time signature changes alla "Passion Play". This is pop-folk, not prog.
But so damn fine.



Mandolins, piccolos, flutes and , of course the requisite Crimbo glockenspiel.

Most tracks are either re-workings of "Songs From the Wood" tracks or -often wonderfully jazzified - re-workings of Crimbo traditionals..
But there are 4 or 5 new compositions.

Delightful oldtyme Victorian Crimbo feel. Dogs sleeping by the manor hearth-fire loikes. The holly & the ivy.

Its not a Reboks-hawking Santa "sitting on a park bench", but Father Christmas of gentler days.

RUDESS MORGENSTEIN PROJECT - SAME

Karns: get outta that early 70s cubby you have painted yourself into and give this instro keys cd a listen.
Keysman has nailed down the ELP sound. Same running bass and the exact (limited) keys settings that Keefers uses.

Some damn good playing here.

Velvet Underground - Live, Dallas, Texas, End of Cole Avenue 28/10/1969 purple vinyl LP. Good set. A couple of these tracks were on the Live 1969 double LP on Mercury from 1974, but here's the full set from a first genration tape. As audience tapes go, this is positively hi fidelity!

Crystal Syphon - Family Evil LP (Roaratoria). Excellent unknown west coast psych / rock 1967-8. Just a local group from Merced, but they play great and all originals, a definite must for west coast fans.

The Stooges - Have Some Fun CD (Rhino Handmade). Live at Ungano's, New York 1970. This was a press launch gig for Fun House which they play in full. Recorded on a reel to reel set up on a cocktail table in the audience. By Stooges live recording standards, this is pretty good, great riffage throughout.

Jimi Hendrix - Live at the LA Forum 1968 CD + LA Forum 1970 2 x CD. Good sound on the 68 set, 70 is an auience tape (well 2 run in synch to give stereo effect and works pretty well) Superby playing and great to hear again, the polar opposite of the Stooges approach!
