Grace Potter - Original Soul
debut album
Kansas. Point Of No Return. On vinyl from 1977. My second favorite of the two Kansas LPs I own.

More of the great man, on CD:
Crosby Loggins
"Time To Move"
My fourth go on this, still not entirely getting it. On CD from the deluxe CD/Blu-ray box:
I was re-reading Bob Dylan's Chronicles 1 last; Bob's description of his thoughts upon hearing Robert Johnson for the first time has prompted my first listen in a long while ...
King of the Delta Blues Singers on vinyl, 60's pressing in mono.
Harper Simon
"Division Street"
On the original vinyl:-
