| Mama Lion - Give it Everything I've Got
|
(Philips 6369.252 Fra-73 VG+ 350:-)
Mama Lion was US blues/psychedelic rock band formed by Lynn Carey (lead vocals) and Neil Merryweather (bass, vocals) in Los Angeles in 1972. The band included a young James Newton Howard, who would go on to become well-known as a writer and performer of movie scores.
This, their second album, continues where their debut left off, lots of raw blues rock with superb vocals from Lynn Carey.

| Manfred Mann - Mann Made
|
(His Master's Voice CSD-1628 UK-65 VG+ 275:-)
An R&B band that only played pop to get on the charts, Manfred Mann ranked among the most adept British Invasion acts.
"Mann Made" is the second studio album by Manfred Mann. There were fewer R&B songs on "Mann Made" than on "The Five Faces of Manfred Mann" and more pop. Mike Vickers and Paul Jones would leave the group after this album.

| Mighty Baby - Egyptian Tomb
|
(Psycho PSYCHO-31 UK-84 VG+ 375:-)
Formed in 1968 by ex-members of The Action (a beat-psych outfit with mod/soul elements), Mighty Baby were a UK hippy prog outfit active through to 1971.
Typically British but very wide-ranging, they bridged many rock/prog styles, with blues and folk elements. Some quote them as the British Grateful Dead.
1984 UK re-issue with new artwork.

| Mitchell, Joni - Blue
|
(Reprise K-44128 UK-72 VG+ 500:-)
One of the greatest albums ever from Joni Mitchell – and maybe one of the most go-to records in her legendary catalog!
The record set a new high mark for singer/songwriter material in the 70s – and there's an intimate, upfront quality here that's even more striking than Mitchell's early work – personal storytelling, with a slightly poetic vibe, set to spare acoustic backing that really makes the presence of the lyrics stand out even more. Well worth all the praise and attention the album's gotten for decades!
UK pressing; textured sleeve and blue inner.

| Moebius & Plank - Material
|
(Sky Records sky-067 Ger-81 VG+ 600:-)
'Material' is the second album of playful studio experimentation from Konrad 'Conny' Plank and Cluster's Dieter Moebius.
It was recorded at Plank's studio and features the two friends and collaborators in an endearingly explorative mode. The throbbing rockabilly send-up 'Conditionierer' makes a crazy start to the album, and much like the rest of their work at this time, strangely predates the techno culture of Germany by a decade or so.

| Mothers of Invention - We're only in it...
|
(Barking Pumpkin BPR-7777-3 US-85 VG+ 375:-)
An early masterpiece from Frank Zappa – one of those records that looks like it's going to be a big ol' mess when you first see the cover – but which turns out to be a carefully calculated act of madness in the end! The Mothers have all their freeform freaky brilliance intact here – still some of the snide edges of the early years, but also really learning their craft as well – and stretching out under Zappa's direction into a pastiche of songs that explore the anxieties and inanities of late 60s America!
In 1984, Zappa prepared a remix of the album for its inclusion in the vinyl box set "The Old Masters I". The remix reinstated audio that had been censored by Verve, as well as the original "Mother People" verse. This pressing contains the same remix version as the box set.

| Mott the Hoople - Rock n Roll Queen
|
(Island ILPS-9215 UK-72 EX 300:-)
ROCK AND ROLL QUEEN is an excellent introduction to Mott the Hoople's pre-"All the Young Dudes" background, with tracks that one would consider truly representative of their early powers - the title track, of course, the claustrophobic hard rockers "Walking With a Mountain" and "Thunderbuck Ram," and the grinding "Death May Be Your Santa Claus".
Original UK pressing on pink rimmed Island 'palm tree' label.

| Mott the Hoople - same
|
(Island ILPS-9108 UK-69 VG+ 600:-)
Mott's first album is always a delight to listen to. A healthy mixture of covers and originals, it opens with an instrumental cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me". Two more covers follow, Doug Sahm's "At The Crossroads" and Sonny Bono's "Laugh At Me", both highlighting the fact that in the early days Ian Hunter's vocal delivery was influenced by Bob Dylan - indeed Dylan fan Lester Bangs, reviewing the album in Rolling Stone magazine, gave it a glowing review, convinced that Dylan had recorded an album under an assumed name.
Original UK pressing. The inside of the gatefold has a previous owners nametag.

| Mott the Hoople - Wildlife
|
(Island ILPS-9144 UK-71 VG+ 500:-)
Heady early work from Mott The Hoople -- still a very long-haired combo at this point, and boasting tremendous lead vocals from Ian Hunter!
Self-produced, it is the only Mott album where Mick Ralphs songs predominate. It shows his Neil Young country influences on tracks like "Wrong Side of the River" and "It Must be Love". It is also the first album to demonstrate Ian Hunter's ability to write killer ballads in "Angel of Eighth Avenue" and "Waterlow".

| Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride
|
(Island ILPS-9148 UK-71 VG+ 300:-)
Solid jamming from Mountain – one of the tightest guitar-based groups of their day, and hard rockers that could serve up a nice dose of soul!
The tunes have a great mix of tight rhythms and fierce guitars, with some nice production overall by Felix Pappalardi.
