Banks. Peter - Two Sides of Peter Banks
(Sovereign SVNA-7256 UK-76 VG+ 375:-)

For "Two Sides of Peter Banks", the ex-guitarist from Yes gathered an impressive group of guest musicians, including Genesis' Phil Collins and Steve Hackett and King Crimson's John Wetton. Most importantly, the whole album was written and recorded with Netherlands guitarist Jan Akkerman.

The first six tracks make up a suite ranging from acoustic duets to full-blown instrumental progressive rock numbers that bear noticeable similarities with some material Steve Hackett would record for his first solo album.

Original UK pressing. The sleeve shows some ringwear; the vinyl is graded EX.
Beasts of Bourbon - Sour Mash
(Red Eye REDLP-5 Aus-88 VG+ 400:-)

The Beasts of Bourbon were formed as a drinking club/side project of the Australian underground rock scene of the early '80s. In the Beasts' ranks were members of the Cruel Sea, Hoodoo Gurus, Johnnys, and the Scientists, who assembled to cut albums containing blues-drenched sleaze-rock.

"Sour Mash" remains their prime document. A raw blues-rock album with post-punk afflictions, blistering slide-guitar-driven sound, with the band doing a fine job of re-creating the sound of a twisted night out at the pub.
Beatles - Beatles
(Apple PCS-7067/8 UK-68 VG+ 2500:-)

The Beatles at their late best – on 1968's self-titled set – now immortalized as The White Album! The White Album capped offed a period of intense creativity for the band with a double that's as freewheeling as anything they'd ever release. It's got raw rockers with wry lyricism, tender acoustic balladry, psych blues jams and some flat out weird bits.

1968 UK pressing; complete with black inners, poster and 4 photos.
Beatles - A Collection of Beatles' Oldies
(Apple EAS-80557 Jap-76 EX 300:-)

"A Collection of Beatles' Oldies" is a compilation album by the Beatles. Released in December 1966, it features hit singles and other songs issued by the group between 1963 and 1966.

Beatles - Beatles
Apple 1C.2LP.172.10.4173.3 Ger-85 VG+ 800:-)

The Beatles at their late best – on 1968's self-titled set – now immortalized as The White Album!
These sessions capped offed a period of intense creativity for the band with a 2LP set that's as freewheeling as anything they'd ever release. It's got raw rockers with wry lyricism, tender acoustic balladry, psych blues jams and some flat out weird bits.
1985 German pressing; embossed numbered (#315294) gatefold sleeve complete with poster and 4 photos.
Beatles - From Us to You
(Swingin' Pig TSP-015-3 Ger-89 EX 800:-)

Between 7 March 1962 and 20 May 1965, The Beatles as a group gave 52 known musical performances on a variety of BBC radio shows, in addition to many more interviews and unscheduled news appearances, together or individually.

3LP Box Set on multicolored vinyl; includes a 12" sheet with information (4 pages).
Beatles - Help!
(Parlophone PCS-3071 UK-69 VG+ 1000:-)

A great little record that's kind of a prequel for "Rubber Soul" – filled with short, tuneful tracks that would flower more deeply on that later album – and often served up with a bit more wit and adult consciousness than in any of the group's earlier records!

This final variation of black/yellow label was available for just a few months in late 1969 before the switch to the black/silver 'One EMI Box' design. These late variants were noteable for the omission of the 'Sold in U.K...' label text which was removed from all EMI product from August 1969.
Beatles - Let it Be
(Apple PCS-7096 UK-70 VG+ 500:-)

A bittersweet farewell from The Beatles – a record that definitely shows the fracturing unity of the group, with lots of near-solo moments – but a set that also makes us really wonder what they'd have done with all this genius, had they managed to hold it together! There's great hints here of the solo work to come – especially from George Harrison and John Lennon – and the Phil Spector production really helps open up a new sound for the group.

UK issue with the GREEN Apple logo on the back.
Beatles - Live in Australia, 1964
(Crocodile BGLP-156 Ita-88 VG+ 400:-)

The Beatles' 1964 world tour was their first world tour, launched after their 1964 UK tour. They played played eight cities in Australia and New Zeeland between June 12 and June 30. It was followed by their subsequent US tour in August that year.

2LP Picture Disc set. Recorded live in Adelaide, June 12, 1964 (A1-B2); Festival Hall, Melbourne, June 16, 1964 (B3-B8); Sydney Stadium, Sydney, June 18, 1964 (C1-D3, alternate source D4-D6).
Beatles - Revolver
(Parlophone PCS-7009 UK-69 VG+ 600:-)

A key set from the Fab Four that bridges the catchiness of the early years and the sharper ideas of later albums – with a slightly sinister undercurrent that really keeps things fresh!

The album's got some great early psych in spots, offset with wonderfully mature and sweet lyrics on the love songs – a pre-Sgt Peppers moment of the group that maybe captures them at their most honest and open.

1969 UK pressing on the "One EMI Logo" labels.
Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
(Universal 02557-45534 EU-17 VG+ 800:-)

It would be hard to deny the lasting power of this crucial album – a set that unleashed some of The Beatles' trippiest sounds and most tender moments too! The mix of wit and honesty is wonderful – and the sonic range is dynamic as the archetypal cover image – a package that's had an undeniable impact on modern music for the past few decades!

2-LP 50th Anniversary Edition;

1st LP - New Stereo Mix by Giles Martin

2nd LP - Studio Sessions mixed by Giles Martin.
Beatles - The Beatles' First
(Polydor 236.201 UK-67 VG+ 375:-)

This album features the eight Hamburg recordings involving the Beatles plus four songs recorded by Tony Sheridan without the Beatles. While it appears that Polydor in U.K. initially planned on releasing "The Beatles First" in mono, the company ultimately decided to press the LP exclusively in stereo upon its release on the Polydor Special label. This album is a reissue of the eponymous German album which was released in April 1964 and imported to England.

This is the 1st variation which has “The Beatles” printed under each song on which they play.
Beatles - The Early Beatles
(Capitol ST-2309 US-65 VG+ 400:-)

The Beatles formed in Liverpool, England during the late 1950s. The lineup (1962-70) comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. During 1961, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums) were also members. Following an initial period as a straightforward Mersey-beat group, later recordings saw them experiment with psychedelia, incorporating innovative production techniques involving tape loops and other effects.

An early American release on Capitol – kind of a "catch up" album that brings together material before the label had rights for US issue of their records!
Beck, Jeff - Truth
(Columbia ‎SCX-6293 UK-69 VG+ 800:-)

The first album by the Jeff Beck Group and it is one the greatest blues rock albums of all time!

This heavy album introduced Rod Stewart's soulful vocals to the world and features Ronnie Wood on bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano and John Paul Jones on the Hammond organ. "Beck's Bolero" features Jimmy Page on second guitar Keith Moon on drums!

Original UK pressing on the black/blue Columbia label.
Beck, Joe - Nature Boy
(Verve Forecast FTS-3081 US-69 VG+ 350:-)

Joe Beck is best known as a jazz guitarist but his debut album "Nature Boy" doesn't have much to do with jazz. Of course there are some jazzy influences here and there but the stylistic direction of this record is guitar driven psychedelic rock. Beck really offers some tremendous guitarwork here. Future Crazy Horse Danny Whitten handles the rhythm guitar.
Bowie, David - A New Career in a New Town
(Parlophone DBXL-3 EU-17 EX 2750:-)

‘A New Career in a New Town (1977 – 1982)’ is the third in a series of box sets spanning David Bowie's career.

Also included exclusively is a brand new remix of the 1979 album ‘Lodger’ by long time Bowie producer Tony Visconti.

Also included is a 128 page hardback book.
Bowie, David - Glastonbury 2000
(Parlophone 0190295-570453 EU-18 EX 600:-)

Driven by an entirely deeper dynamic than most pop artists, David Bowie inhabited a very special world of extraordinary sounds and endless vision. Unwilling to stay on the treadmill of rock legend and avoiding the descent into ever demeaning and decreasing circles of cliché, Bowie wrote and performed what he wanted, when he wanted.

This 3LP-set documents Bowie's legendary Sunday night headline performance on June 25, 2000 at the most famous festival on earth.
Bown Set, Alan - Alan Bown!
(Deram SML-1049 UK-69 VG+ 600:-)

Alan Bown was a trumpet player whos
main interests were jazz and American rhythm & blues. His first group made it to the performing mecca of Hamburg, Germany, playing at venues such as the Star-Club and crossing paths with the Beatles, Tony Sheridan, etc. He formed the Alan Bown Set in 1964.

From late 1967 the group go through a complete transformation, into a psychedelic band known simply as the Alan Bown, which was signed to the Deram label. Originally released in the US with Jess Roden on vocals, the UK version was re-recorded with Robert Palmer replacing Roden.
Budd & Brian Eno, Harold - Pearl
(Editions EG ‎EGED-37 US-84 VG+ 600:-)

This sublime, tranquil recording features 11 haunting ambient tone poems for treated piano. They are crafted from simple chords, arpeggios, or melodies that are frequently trailed by delicate electronic whispers to produce dreamy results.

Beautifully understated, "The Pearl" is a piece of striking ambient impressionism that was highly original in its day, well before the myriads of New Age imitators its composers spawned, and it remains fresh and vital four decades later.
Budd, Harold - The Moon and the Melodies
(4AD ‎CAD-611 UK-86 VG+ 500:-)

A really fantastic collaboration – and one of the real highlights of the 4AD scene in the 80s – as the label's groundbreaking Cocteau Twins join up with UK experimentalist Harold Budd – all in a set that's got a deeper sound than some of the group's own albums, and a bit more sonic imagination too!

Liz Fraser sings beautifully, and in a slightly different style than she might on the Cocteau Twins' own records – showing the same sort of expansiveness she brought to her work with Felt. The record's a treasure through and through – and essential for any Cocteau Twins fan!
