	Odds & Sods Used - LP - MCA-2126 Clean1974 Die-Cut Cover Original With Color Poster And Lyric Insert. "Odds & Sods" is a compilation album by The Who, assembled to collect a variety of previously unreleased tracks, B-sides, and rarities recorded between 1964 and 1973. The project was motivated in part by the proliferation of unauthorized bootlegs, which featured many of these outtakes. Bassist John Entwistle curated and sequenced the album, selecting material that offered fans a look into the band's creative process and experiments not featured on their standard studio releases. The album includes tracks like "Postcard," "Pure and Easy," and "Long Live Rock," each reflecting different phases and unrealized projects in The Who's career, such as the aborted "Lifehouse" concept. "Odds & Sods" stands out as one of the earliest examples of a major rock band officially releasing a collection of outtakes and rarities, setting a precedent for similar archival projects in rock music. The album was praised for its cohesiveness, despite the disparate origins of the songs, and for providing insight into The Who’s evolving sound and ambitions beyond their best-known albums. Over the years, expanded editions have added further tracks to deepen the historical view. "Odds & Sods" remains a valuable document for understanding The Who’s versatility and the wealth of material that lay just beyond their main discography. ... more
	Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got A Lot Of Love Used - LP - ST-11416 1975 Original. “James Talley's 1975 Debut For The Capitol Label Was Perhaps Unnoticed By The Country Music Establishment, Deemed Not Sophisticated Enough And Too Inside The Hillbilly Tradition For The Outlaws; Nonetheless, It Is An Unqualified Artistic Achievement. Featuring 12 Of His Own Songs, This Album Of Talley's Music Comes From The Rural Country Blues And From Bob Wills' Western Swing, And His Songs Are Rooted In The Everyday Lives Of Folks, Whether Working-Class Or Living In Poverty, Who Make The Best Of Difficult Situations Without Too Much Complaining. The Title Track, With Its Blues Riffing And Sweet Hillbilly Abandon, Tells The Story Of A Woman Loved Enough To Break A Man Without Malice Because She Loves Him Too. "Red River Memory" Is An Update Of The "Red River Valley" Legend Set To The Same Melody With A Shimmering Pedal Steel In The Background Just Under The Acoustic Guitars. "Give Him Another Bottle" Inhabits The Terrain Where Honky Tonk, Bluegrass, And The Blues All Meet And Converse. The Rodeo Queen At The Heart Of "Calico Gypsy" Is Classic Talley, Where People Are Evoked Not Only As Memories But As Reflections Of The Natural World From The Color Of The Sky To The Blooming Of Summer Flowers. Side One Closes With The Lone Cover On The Album, Johnny Gimble's "Big Taters In The Sandy Land," On Which The Author Plays Fiddle. The Rest Of The Disc — Such As Tracks Like "No Opener Needed," A Merle Haggard-Esque Bluesy Love Song, Or "Take Me To The Country," A Rambling Country Poem Where The Elegiac And The Prosaic Commingle Inside The Desperation Of A Broken Heart — Make Talley A Master Of The Ordinary. Talley Can Tell A Story Plainly Without The Use Of Extended Metaphors And Framework Artifices, And When He Communicates This Directly, He Can Touch Even The Hardest And Most Cynical Heart. This Is As Auspicious A Debut As There Is.” All Music Guide – Thom Jurek ... more
	John Wesley Harding Audiophile - Used - MFSL 2-423 2015 180gm, 2LP 45rpm, LE #2352, Stereo Remaster In Gatefold. Bottom Seam Split. "John Wesley Harding" was released by Bob Dylan on December 27, 1967, and marked a significant change in Dylan's style, as it marked a departure from the electric rock sound of his previous albums. Instead, the album featured acoustic guitar, harmonica, and piano. The album's title is a reference to the outlaw John Wesley Hardin, but the songs themselves are more reflective and contemplative, featuring themes of morality, spirituality, and social injustice. The album's stripped-down sound and introspective lyrics have been credited with inspiring a new wave of singer-songwriters and acoustic folk rock. "John Wesley Harding" was recorded at Columbia Studios in Nashville, Tennessee in just three days, with a group of session musicians who had previously worked with Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. The album was released to critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Today, "John Wesley Harding" is regarded as one of Dylan's over looked albums, but it continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans. ... more
	Royce Hall 1971 Used - LP - 093624885085 2022 pressing in shrink. Neil Young’s "Live at Royce Hall 1971" captures a pivotal moment in his artistic journey, recorded on January 30, 1971, at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles. This concert occurred during a period of intense creative output for Young, falling between his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and just before the release of his iconic "Harvest" album. The performance features Young alone on stage, alternating between acoustic guitar and piano, delivering intimate renditions of songs that would soon become classics, such as "Old Man" and "The Needle and the Damage Done." The setting and stripped-down arrangements allow listeners to hear these compositions in their rawest form, providing a unique window into Young’s songwriting process and emotional state at the time. ... more
	Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Used Import - KCS 9463 2017 180gm stereo reissue in shrink with clean poster. Certainly One Of The Best Starter Dylan Albums. All Songs Are Great And Palatable. Released in March 1967 by Columbia Records, "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" served as the first comprehensive compilation of Dylan’s most iconic tracks from his prolific early career. The album arrived at a pivotal moment, shortly after Dylan’s 1966 motorcycle accident, which had forced him into a period of seclusion. As a result, the release filled a gap for fans during his absence from the public eye, consolidating his influence on popular music and culture. The record features songs recorded between 1962 and 1966, including era-defining singles such as "Blowin’ in the Wind," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," and "Like a Rolling Stone." The selection showcases Dylan’s evolution from folk troubadour to electric poet, reflecting the shifts in both his songwriting style and the turbulent cultural landscape of the mid-1960s. ... more

	Closing Time Used - LP - 87565-1 2018 180gm remaster in shrink. Tom Waits’s debut album, "Closing Time," was released in 1973 on the Asylum Records label, introducing the world to his idiosyncratic blend of jazz, folk, and blues. Produced by former Lovin’ Spoonful member Jerry Yester, the album stands apart from Waits’s later, more experimental work by embracing a relatively mellow, melodic sound. Songs like “Ol’ ’55” and “Martha” showcased his early gift for storytelling and evocative lyricism, painting nighttime urban scenes with a tenderness and vulnerability that would become hallmarks of his songwriting. The arrangements feature gentle piano, brushed drums, and subtle horn touches, lending the record a late-night, introspective atmosphere. ... more
	Past, Present & Future Used Import - 65726 1973 original UK gatefold pressing with British inner sleeve. "As good as portions of it were, Orange was essentially a transitional effort, the necessary bridge to Past, Present & Future, the record where Al Stewart truly begins to discover his voice. This is largely through his decision to indulge his fascination with history and construct a concept album that begins with "Old Admirals" and ends with "Nostradamus" and his predictions for the future. A concept like this undoubtedly will strike prog warning bells in the minds of most listeners but, ironically, he has stripped back most of the prog trappings from Orange, settling into a haunting folk bed for these long, winding tales. If anything, this results in an album that is a bit too subdued, but even so, it's apparent that Stewart has finally found his muse, focusing his songwriting and intent to a greater extent than ever before. Now, the key was to find the same sense of purpose in record-making -- he didn't quite get it here, but he would the next time around." All Music Guide – Stephen Thomas Erlewine ... more
	Where's The Money? Used - LP - BTS 29 1974 US Reissue On The ABC/BT Orange Spectrum Label, Housed In An Updated Die-Cut Folding Jacket With Top Flap Banner. EX Vinyl, VG+ Jacket Light Shelf Wear. "Before They Could Release A Second Album Of Their Patented Good-time Hippie Acoustic Swing, Hicks And His Band Parted Company With Epic Records. That Their Fresh Start Would Be Marked By The Release Of A Live Set May Seem Odd At First. But The Album Does In Fact Capture A Certain Intimacy Missing From Their Studio Debut. Songs That Would Remain Staples Of The Hot Licks Repertoire For Years To Come Are Found In Their Most Well-known Versions Here, Including The Title Track, "I Feel Like Singing," "Shorty Falls In Love," And "By Hook Or By Crook." The Between-song Banter Even Stands Up To Repeated Listenings. It's Not Often That Can Be Said About A Live Recording." All Music Guide – Brian Beatty ... more
	George Thorogood And The Destroyers Used - LP - 3013 1977 US Original, Wakefield Pressing. EX vinyl; VG+ jacket with shelf wear. The Debut Album, Includes Their Cover Of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." “It's Easy Enough To Trace The Lineage Of Every One Of The Ten Cuts On George Thorogood & The Destroyers' Self-Titled 1977 Debut. Even The Originals, Of Which There Are Only Two, Wear Their Influences On Their Sleeve, So There's Not A Minute Of This Album Where The Presence Of Hound Dog Taylor, Elmore James, Bo Diddley, And John Lee Hooker Loom Large. Not One Of Those Bluesmen Ever Played With Much Finesse, And Thorogood Picked Up That Thread And Ran With It, Playing So Hard The Group Seemed Like A Gang Of Primitives. No Wonder They Chose The Name "The Destroyers": They Ruined Everything In Their Path. This Brutal Attack Is One Reason George Thorogood & The Destroyers Feels Distinctive, Even When The Lifted Elmore Riffs, Bo Diddley Beats, And Wild, Careening Houserocker Rhythms Are Blatantly Obvious: As He Hammers Away At His Guitar, Thorogood Plays With Personality, His Enthusiasm For Making Noise Readily Apparent. No Matter How Hard The Destroyers Ride "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," This Album Isn't About Groove And It's Certainly Not About Virtuosity -- It's About Bashing Out The Blues At A Punishing Volume, And Their Lack Of Subtlety Is Why This 1977 Debut Still Sounds Powerful 40 Years After Its Release.” All Music Guide – Stephen Thomas Erlewine ... more
