161.Spotlight Kid, the/Clear Spot by: Captain Beefheart December 03, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.91
I wondered why these two albums had been packaged on one cd. Now I know: they complement each other so well. Now, depending where you get your information from, the albums have either been placed in reverse chronological order, or they haven't. I don't really care. It doesn't really matter. Nevertheless, I listened to The Spotlight Kid a few times first. Yes, The Spotlight Kid is quite bluesy (for want of a better word). It's slower and less manic than Safe As Milk, and way, way, way less complicated than Trout Mask Replica. That's not a bad thing though. This time around you can listen to the Captain actually sing once again! He's still about as madcap as you can be, but you don't have to twist your mind into unfeasible shapes ... Read More:

162.Pearls by: Elkie Brooks April 30, 1984
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.97 You Save: £2.02 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.63
You would think that songs from the 1970s would sound a little dated by now; but then you wouldn't be talking about Elkie Brooks' Pearls, the CD that gave me a heads up 30 years ago and which recently made me rediscover her on CD (now that I had nothing on which to play my original vinyl copy). Her gravelly voice goes so well with the words, which will get you sobbing into your glass of Beaujolais if you are in the least bit emotional. If you don't know of Elkie Brooks' music then this is the CD to buy first.

You all know the score by now - fewer and fewer people are challenging the opinion that Rory Gallagher was perhaps the finest, most fiery and most consistent guitarist of the last 50 years and, thank God, he left lots and lots of proof. Just before going on stage for the Isle of Wight set, Taste had their gear stolen and so had to play on borrowed kit - and just look what they achieved. Rory manages to produce bursts of speed and fire on the old Strat without ever entering the dreaded realms of widdly woo inhabited by such as Van Halen, Satriani and the Watch-Me brigade. What's Going on?, the opener for On the Boards (buy NOW), just steams and roars with the whole band's interlocked ability. If you didn't see Taste in ... Read More:

I used to own this album 8 years ago but I lost it. I just bought it again and I still love this album. There are so many kinds of music that I out grew after I left my 20's. But this album is so original and full of emotion and creativity. It still rocks and there is nothing like it.

167.Music from Big Pink by: The Band September 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.27
I bought this cd as its regarded by many as being influential on rock genres that were to follow. While there are a few decent tracks here, the bulk of the album is pretty mundane. I can see where U.S bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd may have been influenced, but 1968 releases by Cream, Moody's, Tull, Zep etc are far superior, both in material and musicianship and would form more of a basis this side of the pond. Ok for occasional plays hence 3 stars only.

168.Wheels Of Fire by: Cream June 01, 1998

To set the cat amongst the pigeons here a little, I will have to disagree with those who view Cream and this album as a kind of holy grail of rock. This album suffers from that 60s disease known as selective memory, a disease which with one hand inflates the value and worth of anything that was produced during the years 1966 - 69 and with the other wipes the board of everything that was done since, in the end we talk of Cream as if it all happened a number of centurys sgo and in a far away land in which everything was bigger and better, the truth however is that Cream were then and everything that has come after struggles to get past the nostalgia block that selective memory creates. This album like so much of the 60s stuff is another ... Read More:

169.Continuum by: John Mayer October 16, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.99
His best album yet, this is just a joy to listen to -- from the bursting guitar tones of "Waiting on the World To Change" to the mellow "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room". If you like John Mayer, you won't be disappointed -- but keep your eyes peeled for the Special Edition of this album, which includes live tracks!

Well, what can I say? The track listing says it all! John Mayall, Hipster Image, The Birds.... absolutely stunning. Any fan of 60's R&B will love this compilation, which features some pricey and/or rare records. It's absolutely brilliant, a must buy album for mods.
