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
