Posted 20 Aug 2010 Yeah, it sounds especially nice on the German pressing - I had the US pressing for years, which didn't sound nearly as nice. Beautiful music, naturally. I love Marion Brown. I was listening to this recently. Uncategorizable, deeply imagined, and totally cool: Discogs says there was a Japanese CD issue, but I've never seen it. It really should be reissued. In fact, maybe someone could do a Marion Brown box set (Mosaic? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 22 Aug 2010 Coninuing my 60s beat odyssey: The Spencer Davis Group - The Second Album. This I am enjoying. Certainly a much more convincing outfit thatn the Stones. Sorry, really have to disagree with you on your Stones comment, even though I have liked Spencer Davis and, more particularly, Stevie Winwood from the start. The Stones have always had a hard-core of consistency and coherence. I have never doubted that they are entirely convincing in what they did (and, although much diminished, still do). As a teen in the 60s, there was no group more convincing to me and my cohort, than The Stones. It seems to me they were and are the template for hard-core rock and roll.
