Playing on Vinyl on Frontline Records - A timeless Reggae Compilation of Virgin Records Reggae Artists

I've had this LP since I was 14 years old and it was almost 10 years old then. 

Declaration of Rights by Johnny Clarke is one of the best Roots vocals ever recorded.

Bob,

Loving your comments about the Frontline.First Reggae album I picked up maybe 1978,anyway I was drawn to the cover....have built up a good 600 Reggae and dub albums since...ah but the Frontline will always be special in the rack.Like you I would have been 13.

I know your a lover of fine techno.My girlfriend played me this a couple of weeks ago and I was blown away...give it a play..think your going to like.

Cheers Ian

Great album Ian, "Swingtown" is pretty neat too

1972 - Vinyl - UK first pressing...

Prompted by [@mention:1566878603993052]'s post earlier - one of those famous TAKRL (The Amazing Kornyphone Record Label) vinyl boots. I bought this one in December 1978 (for £8, a lot of money for a vinyl LP 40 years ago) from a well dodge place in Northampton.

The music was recorded in 1970 (April 29) at the (empty, no audience) Fillmore West for a KQED TV special. I remember thinking at the time that the SQ was a touch above your normal boot - though of course it wouldn't be regarded as all that great today. Good performance though.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged, currently playing the bonus disc of previously unreleased performances ,from the deluxe set.

GoGo Penguin - Man Made Object

Just chilling after a day in court (Jury Service).

Another TAKRL vinyl boot. I bought this as a 17 year old in 1980 from a shop in Notting Hill. I remember being extemely disappointed with it. The pressing was diabolical, the SQ was poor, even by the standards of the day. I didn't even like the tracklist much.

I took it back to the shop but the owner denied any knowledge of it, saying with a completely straight face: "We don't sell bootlegs, mate. They're illegal."

So I was stuck with it. It's been long since superseded, but I'm glad that I still have it, even though it's now obsolete.

(1970)

Elton John

Because I just fancied this for some happy memories around and about this album. 

Eric Clapton - Give Me Strength : The 74/75 Recordings, spinning disc five which features Freddie King backed by Clapton and his band.Includes a 22 minute version of "Gambling Woman Blues" which was originally edited for vinyl.

1973 - Uk first pressing...

King Crimson  - Larks Tongues In Aspic...

Doobie Brothers , Minute by Minute, Side1 of Vinyl. Lovely stuff.  I’ve gone all Johnny Walker. Squeeze, Argybargy is next up 

  Led Zeppelin - Southampton University, 1973.

  Joining in the bootleg fun with this fine early Zep recording.

Robert Cray, Midnight Stroll. I could take or leave this album on CD. It’s a digital recording, but the Vinyl version is a different ball game. Again sounds like a different and much better album.  Really enjoying being back into Vinyl..

Another TAKRL vinyl boot, again in pretty ropey quality (it was in fact "mastered" off a much better - and better packaged - vinyl boot, the huge-selling British Winter Tour 74 album, so it was a pirate of a bootleg).

It was a real thrill buying this at a London record fair in the mid 1980s, as it was, in the pre-internet, pre-box set era, the only way of hearing the proto-"Sheep" "Raving & Drooling" and "Gotta Be Crazy" (an early version of "Dogs"), plus an early "Shine On" (not yet split in two).

a recent purchase -- I like Cassandra anyhow :-)

enjoy/ken

Now playing.........

Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia

Streaming on NAS........   consumed by work and social obligations the past couple of days and finally getting a moment to spin an album before I run back out the door.........  Mark is sounding fantastic!  .......and life is sweet......

David Bowie & Stevie Ray Vaughan .... an unlikely combo but works quite well in parts.

I always thought McCartney's pairing with Michael Jackson was odd. Bowie and SRV - even stranger.

The only Floyd boot I had from the same label (I think) was demos/rehearsals of DSOTM.

For the life of me I cannot think what the title was.

Maisha: There is a Place.

English spiritual jazz, spacey and cool. Just out - I downloaded from Boomkat.
