Black Widow – Sacrifice (1970)

Progressive jazz rock from Leicester, UK. Occult lyrics and imagery.

The stage show apparently included the symbolic sacrifice of a virgin. 😄

Buzzcocks – Another Music In A Different Kitchen (1978)

Just came home after a busy day at work. Feeling a little low on energy. This will surely charge me up.

What do you spin when you need a boost?

Jethro Tull – Stand Up (1969)

After "This Was", when the band's original guitarist Mick Abrahams departed, Tony Iommi rehearsed with Tull for a while. He didn't quite fit in with the band and Martin Barre eventually got the job.

Nancy & Lee - S/T (1968)

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. Two great voices. Lovely together. "Summer Wine", "Some Velvet Morning" and "Lady Bird" are wonderful tracks.

April Wine – Electric Jewels (1973)

Playing some early April Wine. This is the Canadians third album. Great hard rock / early heavy metal.

It has been a while since I last played it. It's even better than I remembered it!

The Only Ones - S/T (1978)

This album is so much more than just "Another Girl, Another Planet". It's a great listen all the way through. My personal favourite is "The Beast".

Herbie Hancock – Sextant (1973)

I read today that Herbie is one of the recipients of the 2025 Polar Music Prize (the others are Queen and Barbara Hannigan).

So I just had to play this and take a psychedelic trip into space.

Record cleaning time!

A while back I was able to buy a couple of hundred records, part of a large jazz/soul collection. All well taken care of records, mostly bought during the 60s and 70s.

To pick a bunch, and then clean and catalogue them is pure joy.

The Stark Reality – Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop (1970)

This Boston band's sole album is a psychedelic jazz re-make of children's music. The musicianship is impressive and it's an out of the ordinary and fun album.

"I'm wishing to live longer aided by the supreme healing force of music. It most definitely overcomes all weakening aspects of the body. I've felt quite lost and distraught without those wonderful vinyl productions. I'm convinced it's an addiction too. I feel just great again."

Badfinger – Straight Up (1971)

I've wanted this STUNNING power pop album on vinyl for so many years, and I just recently found a beautiful copy of the Danish first press. It sounds fabulous.

Man, I love this album!

Comus – First Utterance (1971)

A sublime progressive folk rock album. Musically multifaceted and inventive with dark poetic lyrics.

David Bowie was a supporter of the band back then and Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) is a huge fan.

Barbara & Ernie – Prelude To... (1971)

The immediate stand out track is "Play With Fire", but after a few spins the whole album really takes off.

Folk/psych/soul/jazz with multi-layered vocals, funky basslines and electric sitar.

Randy Newman – Little Criminals (1977)

Randy is one of a kind. Deeply serious, ironic, compassionate, satirical, humorous and cynical.

"Short People", "Jolly Coppers..." and "Baltimore" are such great tracks.
