The Mothers of Invention ~ Burnt Weeny Sandwich Bizzare

Agent Orange ~ When You Least Expect It . . . Enigma

I think that session was recorded at the old Chappell Music on New Bond Street, London. Small studio - on the upper floor of a larger music/music instrument store. When I popped in years ago and saw how inocuous it was it left me gob-smacked that the great Monk had actually recorded there. Chapell Music alright. November '71. That would have been cool to have been there! The lp sounds really good.

Thelonious Monk ~ The Man I Love Black Lion Al McKibbon, bass; Art Blakey, drums My favorite store "Revolver Records" in Phoenix opened a new location near me. Prices are excellent. Picked this up for 3.99 in very good condition.

The Horace Silver Quintet ~ Horace-Scope Blue Note I borrowed this image. Mine has the solid blue label with white imprint.

Michael Brecker ~ Pilgrimage

Someone over on the Hoffman forums claims that every copy of this he's ever heard suffers from inner groove distortion. Do you hear it? Haven't noticed any. Sound pretty good to me.

Stan Getz ~ Sweet Rain Verve

Good one. Used to have it but my beater copy got let go before the "big move." Kept a minty UFO (orig) that I got for like $15 years ago, though! I'm on the lookout for UFO. Good stuff! The Curtis Counce Group Contemporary

Guru Guru ~ Kanguru Brain 1972 reissue Spacing out & dismantling a Stratocaster . . . \ and a drummer . . . Krautrock at it's finest.

The Guitars That Destroyed the World Columbia

Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows ~ Playing for Keeps Alligator

That one is great. Two excellent sessions - it was on this twofer that they were first issued as well I think, thanks to Charlie Lourie. Yes, first issue. This one is superb! Been spinning a lot since finding it recently.
