jeffcrom Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 The First Great Rock Festivals of the Seventies: Isle of Wight/Atlanta Pop Festival (Columbia). Spinning the third of this three-record set, featuring Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis at the 1970 Isle of Wight fest. All the Hendrix material from the Isle of Wight has now been released, but it's interesting to hear the three tunes that were chosen to be released first, six months or so after the event. Miles' complete set has also been released in audio and video form in recent years, but the edited 17-minute "Call it Anythin'" is what I grew up with (on 8-track tape!), and I wanted to hear it in that version tonight.

paul secor Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 The Raw Harmonica Blues of Charlie Sayles (Dusty Road) This was his first record from 1976. Hadn't heard anything about him for years. Did a Google search and he's still playing and performing. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Shoji Aketagawa - Erotical Piano Solo and Grotesque Trio - (Aketa's Disk/Offbeat) Despite the title, the solo sounds like a freer Dollar Brand and is pretty excellent. Edit: second side gets into some heavy '70s Mal-isms. Recommended. Edited April 6, 2013 by clifford_thornton Quote

Clunky Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street (Rolling Stones/Atlantic) One of the two Stones albums I've kept in my collection I've liked the Stones for years but have been cautious about getting too many and weaker sets ( ie the earlier and later material ). I'd also avoided "Exile". I caved in last year and can't believe just how good it is. It's right up there with "Aftermath" and "Let it bleed". What other Stones' title did you keep? Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 The Coasters - Besame mucho pts 1 & 2 - Atco (London UK, as illustrated, but not my copy) This is one of the 45s I've kept since I got it in 1960 - the only Coasters single I kept. It's not a comedy story; they do the song straight, with a Latin shuffle beat, but backwards! Part one is a solo from King Curtis, with the Coasters singing along in the background on the bridges. Part 2 is where the Coasters actually come in and sing the song, a solo vehicle for the bass man, Will 'Dub' Jones, who sings with a LOT of soul. I've never understood why Atlantic put a King Curtis solo on as part 1 and not the coasters singing. But I've never entirely understood why they'd make a single like this anyway. Oh, a little research on You Tube reveals that London got the sides mixed up!!!! Here's the complete recording in the correct order. MG Quote

Between the Buttons. Probably not one of the top Stones records on anyone else's list. Quote
