| T.I.M.E. - Smooth Ball
|
(Liberty LST-7605 US-69 EX 500:-)
T.I.M.E (aka Trust in Men Everywhere) was a band from Los Angeles, CA. Their first album was characterized by a psychedelic pop rock sound, typical of the west coast area.
Some seriously blazing guitar is offered on this, their second and last album, courtesy of Larry Byrom (pre-Steppenwolf). Nearly every track has smoking leads with a nice blend of psychedelic hard rock and a touch of blues. Fans of guitar-driven late-60s rock shouldn't miss this one.

| Tesla - Psychotic Supper
|
(Geffen GEF-24424 Ger-91 VG+ 500:-)
A blues-based hard rock band marked by clever songwriting and technical acumen, Tesla rose to fame during the pop-metal boom of the 1980s and early '90s. The band's music is equally indebted to contemporary blues and '70s-style hard rock.
"Psychotic Supper" benefits from a more stripped-down production than "The Great Radio Controversy", using fewer overdubs and thereby enhancing Tesla's bluesy, acoustic-tinged rock & roll.

| Thin Lizzy - Shades of a Blue Orphanage
|
(Decca TXS-108 UK-7? VG+ 500:-)
Wonderful work from the early Thin Lizzy trio lineup – a record that has all the power of their later records, but which also mixes in some airier moments that really help shape the sound! These guys are already setting themselves apart from their psych or blues rock predecessors – thanks to Phil Lynott's wonderful vocals and unique approach to a tune – which gives the record loads of great moments that don't always get their due!
Late 1970's UK re-issue in a gatefold sleeve.

| Titus Groan - Titus Groan
|
(Janus JLS-3024 US-70 VG/VG+ 500:-)
Titus Groan was a jazz rock combo from the early 70s UK scene. The tracks are long, and full of plenty of fantastic instrumentation from a quartet that includes Tony Priestland on saxes and flute, Stuart Cowell on guitars and organ, John Lee on bass, and Jim Toomey on drums and percussion -- all minor names in their scene at the time, but able to jam with the best of them -- and bring things up with complexity, focus, and forward drive to match the real giants of the prog era.
US White Label Promo pressing. The sleeve shows some ringwear; the vinyl is VG+.

| Traffic - Coloured Rain
|
(Island ILP-800 Swe-67 VG+ 375:-)
Though it ultimately must be considered an interim vehicle for singer/songwriter/keyboardist/guitarist Steve Winwood, Traffic was a successful group that followed its own individual course through the rock music scene of the late '60s and early '70s.
Rare original 1967 Swedish-only album; on the pink Island label stereo LP.

| Traffic - Last Exit
|
(Island ILPS-9097 UK-69 VG+ 700:-)
Though it ultimately must be considered an interim vehicle for singer/songwriter/keyboardist/guitarist Steve Winwood, Traffic was a successful group that followed its own individual course through the rock music scene of the late '60s and early '70s.
When Traffic announced their breakup in '69, Island assembled this LP from cuts they'd recorded but not issued. An unexpected gem resulted, icluding "Just for You", "Feeling Good", "Withering Tree", "Blind Man" and more!
Original UK pressing on the 1st "Pink Island" label; both sleeve and vinyl are graded VG+

| Train - Costumed Cuties
|
(Vanguard VSD-6542 US-70 VG+ 375:-)
Train were a Danish group that relocated to United States where they teamed with producer Geoff Turner. By the time their 1970 debut "Costumed Cuties" hit the streets the band seems to have effectively been reduced to a duo consisting of Bob Lenox and Don Keider (the two names prominently featured in the liner notes).
Largely penned by Lenox musically the set wasn't bad. A progressive rock effort, quite jazz influenced, with some fluid psychedelic hints inserted in a commercial rock with mild prog flavor, and some pop moves.

| Troggs - Cellophane
|
(Page One POLS-003 UK-67 VG+ 500:-)
The Troggs' third British LP is one of the more sought-after collector's items of the late 1960s. The group followed a more subdued, soft-rock folk-psychedelic path than they had on their earlier recordings, which wasn't necessarily a bad idea, as the hit single "Love Is All Around" proved.
Original UK STEREO pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are graded VG+.
