Talk - Run Away to Mars

 

[Calb56]

Big Walter "Shakey" Horton's 1964 release 'The Soul of Blues Harmonica' with Buddy Guy on guitar and one of the producers, Willie Dixon. Traditional Chicago blues but you can hear early influence on California Surf Rock in the rhythm section...

Straitjacket Fits -Hail.

Momma- Household Name. A fantastic album that sounds more like 1992 than 2022. Lots of influence from bands like Breeders, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies, etc. It's pretty much bangers from beginning to end!

 

[Mike C.]

Cocteau Twins - Treasure.

 

[Big John]

Listening to a KKUP psychedelic marathon wile I write.. Besides the "Ultimate Spinach" "Dinosaur Swamp" by The Flock were great but my favorite 1968 album was "The Wozard of IZ" an early Moog synthesizer exploration.

Listening to this again, Benjamin Booker Live at Third Man Records. He only has a few albums and Third Man Records has a great collection of Live performances straight to acetate. Anyway a mix of blues, garage band...

Deep Purple from a bootleg, "Live in London" from a 1974 show...almost 1/2 hour of "Space Truckin' ".
