| Farlowe, Chris - 14 Things to Think about
|
(Immediate IMLP-005 UK-66 VG+ 300:-)
Chris Farlowe's debut LP for Immediate Records actually offers one a lot to think about and even more to enjoy, while pondering how this white Englishman could pour forth such convincing gutbucket soul. One of the finest soul albums to come out of England (or anywhere else) that year.
Original UK Vinyl; the sleeve has a previous owners name in ballpoint on the back; the vinyl is graded Very Good+.

| Fleetwood Mac - Rockhoppers Live 1976
|
(Ze Anonym Plattenspieler ZAP-7858 US-7? EX 300:-)
Few bands has undergone such radical stylistic changes as Fleetwood Mac. Initially conceived as a hard-edged Blues combo the band gradually evolved into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade.
By the mid-'70s, Fleetwood Mac had relocated to California, where they added the soft rock duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to their lineup. Obsessed with the meticulously arranged pop of the Beach Boys and the Beatles, Buckingham helped the band become one of the most popular groups of the late '70s. Combining soft rock with the confessional introspection of singer/songwriters, Fleetwood Mac created a slick but emotional sound that helped 1977's RUMOURS become one of the biggest-selling albums of all time.
This is a mostly excellent-quality recording from the "Rumours" Tour. It is reported variously as being recorded at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ in May 1975 (although it seems a bit strange that they would already be touring for an album that would not be released for another three months) and from a KBFH show from New Haven, CT on 11-20-75 (which seems more likely).

| Foghat - Live
|
(Bearsville BRK-6971 US-77 EX 275:-)
Foghat were an American rock 'n' roll band from the United Kingdom. Their unpretentious, simplistic Boogie Rock won them stadium-filling fans, two platinum albums, and five gold ones.
This is one of the greatest Rock n Roll live albums of all time, and one of the greatest Rock n Roll albums of the 70s, period. And it (deservedly) vaulted one of the best boogie bands ever to superstardom. The quartet of guitarists Lonesome Dave Peverett and Rod Price, bassist Craig MacGregor and drummer Roger Earl were as tight as any rock band before or since 38 minutes of blues-rock bliss.

| Folque - Kjempene på Dovrefjell
|
(Philips 6310-034 Nor-75 EX 1250:-)
Pioneered by British groups such as Fairport Convention, Pentangle and Steeleye Span, the folk-rock movement was blooming in the early seventies. Not surprisingly, this also inspired musicians in the rest of Europe to examine their own heritage of traditional folk music. The most important contributors to this genre in Norway were a group appropriately named Folque.
"Kjempene På Dovrefjell" is considered of of their best albums, offering great insight into Norwegian folklore, ie. medieval ballads, old Norse poems set to music, fiddle instrumentals and traditional dance music. Their musical ability is impeccable, highlighting fiddle, mandolin, dulcimer and electric guitars. The arrangements always function well, meaning that the bass and drums do not disturb the original rhythm and rhymes. On top of this, Lisa Helljesen had a clear and strong voice (a bit similar to Maddy Prior in Steeleye Span and Mandy Morton in The Spriguns), perfectly suitable to the music.

| Freedom - Through the Years
|
(Vertigo 6360.049 UK-71 VG 1000:-)
Freedom was formed in the summer of 1967 after Bobby Harrison had left Procul Harum because of "internal Differences". This is their fourth album, originally released for the collectable Vertigo label in 1971. Powerful hard-rock, bluesy sound with loud wah wah, distorted guitars, long tracks, and wasted vocals.
Original ÙK pressing. The sleeve has some light wear with some edge scuffing which was unavoidable due to its plain matt finish; the vinyl has an ugly mark on the last track, which plays with a clicking...

| Fugs - Rounders Score
|
(ESP Disk' ESP-2018 US-75 EX 350:-)
"Fugs 4, Rounders Score" is a compilation album of material by the Fugs and the Holy Modal Rounders, including seven previously unreleased performances from the Fugs' first recording session (April 1965), when the Rounders (Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber) were members of the Fugs' band.
The title is both a reference to Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address ("Four score and seven years ago...), and the fact that this is the fourth album of Fugs material released on ESP, as well as a pun on "score" as drug slang. Although all recordings were made under the umbrella of the Fugs, the 6 lead vocals by Stampfel and Weber on Side A allow the album to function as a Rounders compilation as well. There is a notable and unusual lack of lead vocalizing by Ed Sanders, the most prominent vocalist on all other Fugs albums.
