Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Rock Art & the X-Ray Style (LP - 2012 repress).

 

My favourite album from Joe Strummer post Clash.  Full of fantastic, funky beats and poetic lyrics (just don't ask me what he was meaning by them!), this is an album that is guaranteed to uplift me regardless of my mood when I put it on.  The 2012 is a good pressing too, even if the recording is a tad flat - the music more than makes up for it.  This is a must have in any collection (along with all of The Clash records), but I'm ever so slightly biased.

 

I found it very undeserving that one of the legends of the music scene was reduced to almost begging people to come and see him play outside the venues  he was about to play in (as witnessed on The Future is Unwritten).   Far from the only one, I know...

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (1965 - LP)

Thanks @@ferchersan for the birthday party reminder. I'm ensconced in my little study/man cave/junk room (down jacket still required) spinning my dad's old oz stereo pressing on the second system.

Magnificent album.

Missy Elliott - Super Dupa Fly.  1997, US pressing.

 

Missy's first album is a ripper and the start of a great partnership with Timbaland.

Bought this a while ago but never really listened till last week and a song came up on random play in the car

Great live record of largely traditional songs plus a Leadbelly Woody Guthrie and Jimmie Rogers song

Has a great sound

Happy birthday Sir Van

This really is great if you like Van Morrison and the other singer Lonnie Donrgan is no slouch either

Great acoustic players to be expected I guess

Well worth the money

When on to a good thing

Stick to it

More Van

My favourite since the 70's. A country music record with only one contemporary song on it I think

Playing tonight in Belfast to celebrate his 70th birthday

Very seldom wish I was rich but today I wish I was in Ireland

Found this Essra Mohawk LP in a secondhand shop the other day. Loven it!! I Didn't know anything about her but I am very pleasantly surprised. Its a great album from 1974. She's has a wonderful strong voice with lots of feeling and Its got a kind of funky/Joen Baez vibe to it.

@@Citroen bought my copy 3 years ago no cd but a nice booklet.

Looks like the CD only came with the Amazon release.

 

"You purchased this item on September 9, 2011.

Winterland (8 LP + 1CD Box Set) (Amazon.com Exclusive)

Sold by: Amazon Export Sales, Inc.

$54.01

Condition: New"

 

Playing quietly now.

"The bonus disc features an amateur stereo recording made of Jimi's sold out February 4, 1968 Winterland performance.

This official bootleg recording showcases Jimi's love for the blues and includes versions of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," the Muddy Waters influenced "Catfish Blues" as well a majestic rendition of "Red House". The recording also features an impromptu, extended rendition of Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" with Buddy Miles sitting in for Mitch Mitchell. "Dear Mr. Fantasy" is presented here in two separate parts. When the recording was originally made, the first side of the tape ended abruptly and came off the spool. The tape operator then hurriedly flipped the reel over, rethreaded the tape and snapped on the record button".

I'm pretty sure I got my copy of this set from popmarket and it did have the CD, but in contrast to the great vinyl discs, the CD is so bad as to be unplayable, to these ears.

Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey (1975 - CD)

Winston Rodney is one of my favourite reggae dudes and if isn't his best album it's damn close.
