	So Far Used - LP - SD 18100 1974 US original; Fidelatone pressing with original company printed inner sleeve. Light warp not affecting play back; Textured jacket is a strong VG++, light ripple along opening side. Cover art by Joni Mitchell. "Unbeknown to most fans, So Far was a stopgap release, undertaken by Atlantic Records in the absence of a new Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album to accompany the reunited quartet's summer 1974 tour. At the time, the members thought it was ridiculous to release a greatest-hits/best-of compilation distilled down from two in-print LPs plus the single sides "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom"; but propelled by the publicity surrounding the group's massive stadium tour (the first exclusive stadium tour ever done in rock), So Far topped the charts and sold hundreds of thousands of copies, all without containing so much as a single new note of music. Ironically, the quartet had been working on what would have been, by all accounts, the best album in their history; as with so many other projects attempted by the four-man lineup, however, that album fell apart halfway through, amid clashes of egos and creative differences, and so there was So Far. Taken on its own terms, the album manages to be both enjoyable and frustrating, as well as virtually obsolete in the 21st century -- the Joni Mitchell cover art is cool, and the presence of "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom" makes it attractive (until the 1990s, So Far was the only album to contain both songs); and a case can be made that it contains some of the better moments from Crosby, Stills & Nash and Déjà Vu. The problem is that those were two virtually perfect albums, and the idea of excerpting parts of them for a compilation makes no more sense than, say, excerpting the first two Beatles albums for a "best of" on that band. Further, it's not even a true greatest-hits or best-of compilation, with "Marrakesh Express" not present. And it is difficult to imagine anyone who enjoys this disc not enjoying the two complete albums even more. So, essentially, owning So Far serves no purpose except to get "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom," which are also on Carry On and the Crosby, Stills & Nash box, both of which offer a lot more, dollar for dollar and song for song. For those inclined to buy it, however, the 1994 reissue (Atlantic 82648) of So Far is to be preferred for sound quality over the earlier edition." All Music Guide – Bruce Eder ... more
	James Taylor's Greatest Hits Used - LP - BS 2979 1976 US original; LA pressing still in shrink. Light dishing not affecting play, tiny corner stains. "James Taylor had scored eight Top 40 hits by the fall of 1976 when Warner Brothers marked the end of his contract with this compilation. One of those hits, the Top Ten gold single "Mockingbird," a duet with his wife Carly Simon, was on Elektra Records, part of the Warner family of labels and presumably available, but it was left off. "Long Ago and Far Away," a lesser hit (though it made the Top Ten on the easy listening charts), wasn't used either. In addition to the six hits -- "Fire and Rain," "Country Road," "You've Got a Friend," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)," and "Shower the People" -- that were included, the album featured a couple of less successful singles, "Mexico" and "Walking Man," the album track "Sweet Baby James," and three previously unreleased recordings -- a live version of "Steamroller" and newly recorded versions of "Something in the Way She Moves" and "Carolina in My Mind," songs featured on Taylor's 1968 debut album, recorded for Apple/Capitol. The result was a reasonable collection for an artist who wasn't particularly well-defined by his singles. One got little sense of Taylor's evolution from the dour, confessional songs of his first two albums to the more conventional pop songs of his sixth and seventh ones. But one did hear isolated examples of Taylor's undeniable warmth and facility for folk/country-tinged pop. By the next summer, Taylor was back in the Top Ten on Columbia, and Greatest Hits was out of date. But it remains a good sampler of Taylor's more popular early work."

	Los Cochinos Used - LP - SP 77019 1973 die-cut gatefold original, Terre Haute pressing. Glossy, VG+ vinyl. Crisp LP jacket. "Following a near chart-topping smash with their second comedy album (1972's Big Bambu had climbed to an amazing number two on the Billboard charts), soon-to-be-subversive teenage role models Cheech & Chong quickly returned to action with their third effort, Los Cochinos. Released the following year, the album essentially played it safe, continuing to expand upon many of the skits and characters introduced by prior outings. But such was the quality and depth of these road-tested sketches, that most of them remained as fresh and entertaining as parts one and two -- most notably fan favorites Pedro de Pacas and Man (revisited here via the hysterical "Pedro and Man at the Drive-Inn") and the side-splitting "Sargent Stadenko" (which picks up the story line introduced a year earlier by "Sister Mary Elephant"). Further standouts include the poop-obsessed "Cheborneck" and arguably the pair's most memorable musical number, the hilarious "Basketball Jones." All Music Guide - Eduardo Rivadavia ... more
	Jazz Impressions Of New York Used - LP - CS 9075 1965 US Stereo original; Santa Maria pressing still in shrink with original baggy inner. Light dishing not affecting play. "Jazz Impressions Of New York" is an album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, released in 1964. The album features 11 tracks, all composed by Dave Brubeck and recorded in New York City. The album was inspired by Brubeck's travels and experiences in New York City, which he considered to be one of the most musically vibrant cities in the world. Brubeck was particularly interested in the city's diverse neighborhoods and the cultural influences they brought to the music scene. "Jazz Impressions Of New York" was well-received by critics and audiences alike, and is considered to be one of the Quartet's most popular albums. The album features some of Brubeck's most memorable compositions, including "Broadway Bossa Nova," "Summer on the Sound," and "Spring In Central Park." The album was recorded during a period of transition for the Dave Brubeck Quartet, as Brubeck's longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond, was starting to pursue a solo career. However, the album showcases the Quartet's tight musicianship and innovative approach to jazz composition. Overall, "Jazz Impressions Of New York" is a landmark album in the history of jazz, and a testament to the creative genius of Dave Brubeck and his Quartet. ... more

	Joy Used - LP - ENS-5007 1973 US Monarch pressing still in shrink; Light dish not affecting play. Includes the original Stax company inner sleeve. “With Seven Massive Number One Records Trailing In His Wake, Isaac Hayes Donned His Stylin', Funky Gold-Chain Link Vest Once Again And Capped 1973 With Joy, A Set Which Might Have Proven The Lucky-Streak Breaker — It Missed The Top Spot By One Place — But Still Waded Into Gold-Record Waters With Ease. "Joy" Itself, Of Course, Was The Album's Crowning Glory, A Gargantuan 15-Minute Piece Which Essentially Devoured Side One Of The Album (The Accompanying "I Love You That's All" Is Merely An Afterthought). Heady, Smoky, Ubiquitous — An Instrumental And Vocal Foray Into The Land Of Good Grooves — It Was Sexy And Sassy, With Strings And Innuendo Stripped Bare And Smoothly Built To Lead Anyone Within Earshot Toward A Classic Climax. The Song Continued To Impact Via Sampled Revitalization From As Far Afield As TLC, Massive Attack, Eric B. & Rakim, And Big Daddy Kane. But Don't Forget That Joy Is An Entire Album, With Hayes Continuing His Silky Vocal Assault Across A Further Three Slow, Simmering Songs. The Best, And Perhaps Most Interesting, Is The Closing "I'm Gonna Make It (Without You)." Markedly Un-Steamy, The Song Finds Hayes Trading In His Come-Ons, Choosing Instead To Open Up And Lay Himself Down In The Wake Of A Broken Romance. It's Joy's Most Touching Moment, Equally On Par With The Opener. Indeed, With Those Two Glorious Bookends, This Album Becomes A Must-Have For Any '70s Soul Aficionado.” All Music Guide - Amy Hanson ... more
