| Alice Cooper - Muscle of Love
|
(Warner Bros BS-2748 US-73 VG/VG+ 300:-)
In the heyday of Glam rock, Alice Cooper's blood-and-guts stage show put conservative America on alert in much the same way as Marilyn Manson's 1996 tour. The media portrayed him as a sort of Antichrist -- venues were shut down, records were burned and box offices swarmed with teenagers wearing white face paint, black clothes and a frightening amount of eyeliner.
"Muscle of Love" saw the band double down on their rock ‘n’ roll roots, delivering an uncompromising body of work buoyed by impeccable playing, massive hooks, and good old-fashioned Detroit grit. It would also be the final album recorded by the original band, and they definitely went out with a bang, to say the least.
The cardboard box of this copy shows some minor damage.

|
(ATCO SD2-805 US-73 VG+ 375:-)
At a time when the color line dividing the American South was still something people fought and died over, the Allman Brothers from Macon, Georgia, not only integrated blues and soul with swampy, psychedelic rock and bits of country; they went one step further by including an African-American in their lineup.

| Artwoods - Art Gallery
|
(Decca Eclipse ECS-2025 UK-69 VG/VG+ 1000:-)
English R&B band formed in London 1963 and active between 1964 and 1967.
Despite being a popular live band on the club circuit, the Artwoods were unsuccessful commercially and released only one charting single. Singer and frontman Art Wood, for whom the band was named, was the older brother of guitarist Ronnie Wood. Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord was also a member until the group disbanded.
The sleeve has some wrinkling and scuffs - the vinyl is VG+.

| Auger & Julie Driscoll, Brian - Open
|
(Marmalade 607 002 UK-67 VG+ 500:-)
Great stuff – one of the amazing early albums from the team of Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger – kind of a next-generation to the Brit beat group sound of the mid 60s – one that moves beyond simple R&B modes, to bring in more sophisticated soul and jazz touches! Driscoll's vocals are amazing – some of the boldest belted out in the British scene at the time – and Auger's Hammond work really cooks throughout – at a level that easily makes him one of the best UK organists to hit the scene, amidst some very heady company in the 60s.
Original UK pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are granded Very Good+.

| Ayers, Kevin - Shooting at the Moon
|
(Harvest SHSP-4005 UK-70 VG 800:-)
Kevin Ayers was one of rock's oddest and more likable enigmas, even if he often seemed not to operate at his highest potential. Perhaps that's because he never seemed to have taken his music too seriously -- one of his essential charms and most aggravating limitations.
"Shooting at the Moon" will remain a Psychedelic, Progressive, Experimental, Avant Garde and Canterbury staple. This album really paved the way for the Canterbury scene genre.
Original UK pressing. This copy is graded VG overall - a copy for playing, not collecting.
