Current affairs junkie, but here it’s photos of real records (and sometimes CDs) from the collection.

Ralph Towner was a guitarist of great delicacy and dexterity. He will be missed.

The jazz-rock of Pierre Moerlen’s Gong is excellent. This LP features outstanding work from Allan Holdsworth.

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a single submarine for Australia. Join me in signing the @australiainstitute.org.au petition demanding more scrutiny nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

STEVE KUHN — ECSTACY [ECM 1975]
A reflective, quietly intense solo-piano album that captures the American pianist at his most lyrical. It’s an intimate record that evokes calm night air and memories.

George Duke — The Aura Will Prevail [MPS 1975]

A rich and varied LP from sometime #zappa keyboard player. There’s #funk, #jazz, #jazzrock, and even some #progressiverock touches.

CURVED AIR — LIVE [Deram 1975]
.
Sonia Kristina’s voice is rather ravaged, but the energy of this live set is indisputable. Thrilling 70s prog.

Gently grooving, wryly amusing… the breakthrough album from Michael Franks continues to delight #50yearson.
Fabulous playing from #joesample and members of #thecrusaders.

Black Sabbath — Sabotage [1975]

A dryer (less muddy) sound and some prog touches. A really under-rated #blacksabbath album.

Mellow yet always interesting, this is the Swedish keyboardist’s third LP. A lovely, varied and inviting album.

An all-time favourite from the #70s independent German scene (aka #Krautrock). #ladusseldorf formed after #Neu! ended. This is the debut LP from 1976 and it is an absolute corker.

Little Feat’s 1975 album does not deserve the half-hearted reviews it sometimes attracts. The song quality and variety are absolutely present, balancing their signature swampy funk and slide-guitar grit with a more polished studio sound.

AC/DC’s second album (and second for 1975 in Aus!). This and a couple of tracks from the debut were the US/World edition of High Voltage. But this is where you hear the real McCoy.
