My copy is similarly worn. This series of twofers didn't wear well over the years. I don't recall seeing many in better shape than this.

The music though!

Ralph Towner - Batik (ECM) The strength of the Eddie Gomez/Jack DeJohnette rhythm section keeps things from getting "new age-ey."

[kh1958]

Mose Allison - Lessons in Living (Elektra Musician). A particularly intense live set by the Middle Class White Boy, from Montreux, 1982. Billy Cobham is smoking, and Lou Donaldson sounds really good in his guest spots.

[jeffcrom]

Marion Williams - Standing Here Wondering Which Way to Go (Atlantic). A very fine 1971 album by the great gospel singer, with some great pianists: Hank Jones, Ray Bryant, Joe Zawinul, and Keith Jarrett. The tunes are mostly "message" songs of the time: "My Sweet Lord," "Heaven Help Us All," Dylan's "Wicked Messenger," etc. It could have been kind of grim, but it's really excellent.

Sonny Boy Williamson & Memphis Slim - In Paris (GNP Crescendo). Sonny Boy #2 is one of my favorite blues guys. A few years ago I left a harmonica at his grave outside of Tutwiler, Mississippi, as is customary among Sonny Boy fans.

[jeffcrom]

Sugar Blue - Cross Roads (Europa). I like this album a lot - late 20th century blues by the virtuoso harmonica player, recorded in Paris in 1979, with Jimmy Gourley, Steve Potts, Longineu Parsons, and Mike Zwerin.

Rev. Robert H. (Dr. Bob) Wilson - Revival at St. Paul (The Crisis of Identity) (ACR). A 1969 sermon by a South Carolina-born preacher, delivered at St. Paul Baptist Church in Passaic, NJ. At the end Dr. Bob and the congregation sing an old-style, a cappella long-meter hymn that made my hair stand up. I didn't know this style of singing was still around in 1969. This was amazing. I picked the album out of the dollar bin at a local store last week.
