Elmer Bernstein - "Paris Swings" [Capitol mono LP '59]

Webb Pierce - "Cross Country" [Decca stereo LP '62] Totally awesome cover shot of Webb in front of his modern ranch house, decked out in a baby blue cowboy suit emblazoned with gold lame gingerbread, climbin' into his custom convertible ride, the interior of which is upholstered in fancy tooled-leather (including the sun visors, dash and door panels) and cowhide, and festooned with big ol' silver dollars afixed almost everywhere, a pearl-handled silver-plated pistol for the column shifter, horseshoe pedals, and a stitched leather saddle crowning the center console between the bucket seats that looks like it's sized for a junior buckaroo to ride shotgun

Nilsson - "Harry" [RCA Victor LP '69]

Les Fleur De Lys - "Reflections" [Turning Point/Abraxas (Italy) LP comp. '03, rec. '65-'68] British group best remembered for their hot Jimmy Page-produced cover version of the Who's "Circles", they went through many lineups and related offshoots under other band names (Rupert's People, Chocolate Frog) as well as backing singer Sharon Tandy, at various times including Pete Sears and Gordon Haskell (King Crimson) among other notables

Mott The Hoople - "Wildlife" [Atlantic LP '71]

Howard McGhee - "Shades Of Blue" [Black Lion LP '7?, rec. '61] With George Coleman, Junior Mance, Jimmy Cobb. A quite excellent 'comeback' recording in the straight-ahead hard-bop vein from this lesser-known trumpeter, originally hailing from the 40's big-band and bebop eras, after sitting out most of the 50's due to unspecified personal issues (which might be guessed at since "rehabilitation period" is mentioned), but the otherwise detailed liners fail to indicate why this clearly deserving album apparently didn't see release at the time

Gerry Mulligan - "Night Lights" [Philips/Polygram (Japan) LP reissue '63/'7?] With Jim Hall, Art Farmer, Bob Brookmeyer

Dizzy Gillespie - "Soul & Salvation" [Tribute LP '69] Outright funky pop dance groove with electric bass and rhythm guitars, and even some female soul background vocals, featuring James Moody (sounding more like Jr. Walker and Maceo Parker) and Joe Newman

The Jazz Crusaders - "Lighthouse '69" [World Pacific Jazz LP '69 (duh!)]

Ann-Margret - "Songs From 'The Swinger' And Other Swingin' Songs" [RCA Victor mono LP '66] She'll melt your transistors, bub!

"Barbarella" O.M.P. Soundtrack [Dynovoice LP '69] Music and songs by Bob Crewe and Charles Fox

Grateful Dead - The Warner Bros. Studio Albums
