Idris  Muhammad  "Power of Soul"

Climax Blues Band " Shine On"

Steppenwolf "7"

 

@norton Don't hear a lot about Climax Blues Band.  Always liked them.  Recently picked up a nice box set (Amazon) containing their first 5 recordings.  Put out by the Esoteric Recordings label.  Going back to 1969 for the first two records, it's very impressive the use of soundstage.  Some great engineering.  

1) Alan Parsons,  "vulture Culture" 

2) Moody Blues, " in Search of the Lost Cord"

3) Beatles, " Abby Road"
