I bought a used copy of the Michael Bloomfield "From His Head To HIs Heart To His Hands" box set (btw, worst box set name ever?), and have a problem with music disc 3 missing. If anyone has any ideas how I can replace that missing disc, please PM me, thanks!

I sometimes repeat myself when trying to answer from my $%*& phone instead of my beloved laptop!

Thanks so much Tim, so glad you dig that Labelle cut, which has mesmerized me since it came out in the mid-70's. The video was a blast!

Nonetheless a nice symbolic gesture! And we in the mainstream USA heard all of those great Beck-period Yardbirds singles one to two years before we ever heard anything recognizable as Hendrix.

I'd say that Hendrix guy, but I'll take Beck over Clapton for originality, and Page's influence was really in the seventies. Love Peter Green, but he wasn't nearly as influential, largely unknown in USA in the sixties.

His first three solo albums, up through the epic 1971 'Every Picture Tells a Story', were excellent. After that, success spoiled him.

#13 on the pop album charts, and the single hit #11. The album also won a grammy. 'Jazz Workshop Revisited' (#11, with "The Jive Samba') and the album with Nancy Wilson (#30) also did very well on the pop charts, as did the "African Waltz" single (#41).

They actually made six. I have them all on CD. All have highlights and lowlights. Volume One (1966) Part One (1967) Vol. 2 (Breaking Through) (1967) Volume 3: A Child's Guide to Good and Evil (1968) Where's My Daddy? (1969) Markley, A Group (1970)

This is the one I have. Legit release from Real Gone Music.

And to think that a few months later he was playing with Derek and the Dominos, and he wrote and played the piano outro to "Layla"

$75 shipped in the USA or best reasonable offer or interesting trade. PM if interested.

That depends on how you interpret the "God is watching, God is dying, slow change" chorus. If you take a trinitarian view where God the Father is watching God the Son die as propitiaton for our sins, initiating the slow change through God the Spirit (which is what I believe is reality, but not necessarily the purpose of the lyrics), it does fit perfectly. If you take a Nietzche "God is dead" view, it is antithetical to the aesthetic. I suspect McDaniels mostly just liked the way the words sounded and the aura they infuce, rather than deeply pondering their meaning.

And he would have been in his teens then! RIP to a talented and versatile guitarist!

Atlantic Records was, for many years, known as "The House That Ruth Built"! This stuff is best of breed.

Great news, though not unexpected (makes perfect sense). I'm in. The 'Far Horizons' set is down to $35.60 with free prime shipping on Amazon now, so I ordered it. I wonder if they will break the Oblivion Express material into multiple sets since there are so many albums involved (10 discs just from the 70's).

Sorry to hear this. Loved his work with the Yardbirds, and some of his early solo stuff (especially the post-hype 'Rough and Ready' album). RIP.

On hold.

Great condition, played once. Asking $225 shipped in USA. PM if interested.

This is a great box set, seven albums and bonus tracks on 4 CD's, excellent booklet, pristine remastering. $28.20 with free prime delivery from Amazon. They did some truly magical music.

They always seemed more muddled than satanist to me anyways. First album felt like cartoon posturing. 'Paranoid' didn't strike me as particularly religious, more a story of alienation. 'Masters of Reality' talked more about God than about Satan, and had Satan subservient to God, if I remember. I checked out at IV as it was so musically inept, and never checked back in. Consider, these are lyrics lifted directly from "After Forever" on 'Masters of Reality': Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say If they knew you believe in God above? They should realize before they criticize That God is the only way to love Is your mind so small that you have to fall In with the pack wherever they run Will you still sneer when death is near And say they may as well worship the sun? I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe? You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate Or will you still jeer at all you hear, yes I think it's too late

No, it can't, sorry. Amazing box set by the way, you get "alternate" versions (alternate takes or alternate mixes, in many cases noticably longer) of all but one song on the 'Waka/Jawaka' and 'The Grand Wazoo' albums, some excellent George Duke demos, and a full concert by the Petit Wazoo group on the 4 CD's, plus a blu-ray disc containing remasters of the 'Waka/Jawaka' and 'The Grand Wazoo' albums, all for under $50. This is an incredibly strong box, very little waste on it, and a lot of revelations.

Good point.

"Look in the Sky" and "Can You See Me" from the first Glass Harp album. Amazing Phil Keaggy guitar playing, and he was like 19 years old.

Nat Adderley 'Soul of the Bible'. Leonard Bernsteim 'Mass'. Individual cuts would be The Rascals "See", Pacific Gas and Electric "Are You Ready", Tommy James & the Shondells "Crystal Blue Persuasion", Chambers Brothers "Love, Peace and Happiness".
