Yes, though I would argue that Billy Davenport was the drummer for the prime Paul Butterfield band (though the albums with Wilson are also really good). I would NOT argue that Davenport was the better drummer .

PM sent on the One for All and the Philly Joe Jones

Thanks, good summary, and I'll pick it up at some point soon.

How's the music?

The sound quality on this series is stunning, and there is magic in the music. Even titles I felt lukewarm about before listening(Chet Baker, Griff/Jaws) have knocked me out!

Agreed, though he was/is a true renaissance man, with many talents (art - he studied with Picasso, photography, education)

Yes, they started out as a very promising group, for sure! I really like both of the Immediate albums (though I also quite enjoy the very different Rockin' The Fillmore).

I'm in.

Asha is the pick of the litter, although all three are outstanding. He also has had outstanding careers as a painter and photographer and professor.

I've listened to it on youtube. It's fabulous.

I've never figured out how to do that! I'm all for it, will need to do some google searching. I wait years for a good price sometimes.

Thanks, but all are grossly overpriced once I factor in shipping to USA, IMO.

Me too, one of the very few CD's I'd pony up that kind of $ to buy.

Please PM me if you can sell/trade me the CD of Stanley Turrentine "In Memory Of" at a reasonable price. Looking to retire my Turrentine Mosaic box, and this is my one remaining missing CD to do so.

"September Gurls" is one of the all-time great songs. Love the original by Big Star, and equally love the covers by the Searchers and the Bangles.

Yeah, I agree that's a good one.

Agreed, much better than what came after. He did some fascinating work before these, much more eclectic and much less predictable. "Sunday Walk", "King Kong", "Open Strings" especially jump out from memory.

I was thinking that myself about Criss Cross. Seeing something on that label is an inherent guarantee of quality.

Here's the best way to do that. I agree that one is a cut above his others from that era for the writing and for great Daryl Stuermer work.

Much cheaper from importcds on ebay. The Tom Rush is really good, 'Circle Game' is a classic early singer/songwriter album. The two earlier albums are an eclectic mix of his folk and rock tendencies. The Korner and DD&B stuff (pubescent Hollywood sons of Dean Martin and Desi Arnez) are not particularly noteworthy. Korner's important work was a decade earlier, in the group with Dick Heckstall-Smith, Cyril Davies, and Long John Baldry.

importcds has been my go-to since the mysterious caiman.com disappeared and amazon got more expensive/less competitive.

Yet they use slightly different business models on ebay. importcds offers 20% off $65 purchase, where deepdiscount does not. Their single CD prices are basically the same (deep discount generally a penny cheaper), yet deep discount breaks out $1.99 of the price as separate shipping, where importcds loads it all into the CD price and ships free. I guess they kept those distinctives from when they were different companies. Collectors Choice was always something very different, even using their own reissue label. They seem to have a presence on discogs as pop.market from what I can tell.
