Whats on your turntable tonight?

@skyscraper.  ...please play them all and make a recommendation IF possible. what a great story

also, you can load your collection in Discogs....at my advancing age, this keeps the repeat buys down....

I’ll get on it tomic60 and will report back. Might take a few days.

That’s good advice to keep from buying doubles. I recently purchased the Van Morrison and the Chieftans album again, ruefully not consulting my check list first. I normally download Allmusic discographies for each artist or group, and with a bit of modification use them for checklists. The links to individual record reviews stays active on downloaded Allmusic discographies, which is handy to use when checking out potential purchases.

I missed a trick on the Graham Bond Organisation though, and didn’t have a discography on them. And I’ve other records of early British blues and R&B groups that will now be getting their discographies downloaded. Groups like Alexis Koerner, Lord Sutch, Long John Baldry, Spencer Davis and the like, where a bunch of ’60’s British rockers got their start. At least the John Mayall list is in order, and recently completed I might add.

"Then Play On" again/from the box set

@skyscraper thanks for your comments on the early British Blues scene.  I’m also amazed at all the great Blues coming out of the UK in the ‘60’s.  John Mayall is indeed the Father (or Grandfather) of British Blues and I’m still awed by all the talent he has gathered over all the years......from Eric, Peter and Mick and he is still doing it with some of the best Blues musicians around.  Last time I saw him was out in San Juan Capistrano a few years ago, I think he was 82 or 83, Rocky Athas was on guitar and that show had as much energy as any I’ve ever seen.  I will be searching on some of the names and groups you mentioned and I’m sure I will come away even more intrigued by British Blues.....Thanks!
