Wow. You are a serious list-maker! A lot of stuff here I will sign on all your lists, but I wonder a bit about your jazz selections. I see some names but no Miles Davis and other greats (sorry, I read the lists pretty fast, if I missed some). I'd throw in some Eno albums and not to forget Richard Thompson. But hey, Wyatt,Ayers, Cale, Slapp Happy, Greaves, yes!
Svenn - My favorite Miles records are from the 50's. My favorite jazz LP is usually "Cool Struttin'" by Sonny Clark. I agree about Slapp Happy, but that's 70's stuff - as are Cale, Wyatt etc. Thanks for reading!
I'd find it most informative to have you write about some of the titles that aren't overexposed icons of the 60s - De Art, Sean Bonniwell, Crazy Casey, The Deviants etc. We can debate the best Beatles or Stones eras forever, but decade by decade I'd like to read about the more obscure titles you list and why they're special to you.
I agree about Miles and the 50s, even if I like the electric stuff too (Bitches brew). Just read his autbiography btw, nice musician - grumpy fellow. My comment was ment for all your lists (not easy to see that- sorry).
Certainly, Brian! I'll try to come up with something for Art, Sean Bonniwell, Crazy Casey and The Deviants. Art is Spooky Tooth, Sean Bonniwell is best known as The Music Machine and thensong is called "Talk Talk", Crazy Casey is Cees Scharma who worked with the nascent Golden Earring - in a Booker T & The MG's style. Deviants worked with Pete Brown, among others - anti-establishment to the core, they persisted for 3 albums at that time. More detail to follow!
Re: Sean Bonniwell
Music Machine is hardly what I'd call obscure!
Hi Ron I Have a copy of Cruisin with Rubin and the Jets on CD I will copy it to CD and send you a copy by Snail Mail if you are interested along with scans of the covers. Up to you
Yours Paul
Hi Paul in NZ,
It's the "LP version" I am after, not the Rykodisc / Zappa label CD. as you know, FZ remixed it for CD release; I infinitely prefer the mixes of the original vinyl.
Many thanks for your kind offer!
- Ron
