Jacobsen, Bent - Bøsse
(Demos DEMOS-24 Den-75 VG+ 800:-)
Danish cult classic från 1975! Bent Jacobsen joined Bøssernes Befrielsesfront (BBF) in 1972, where he petitioned to make a record with lyrics describing what it meant to be gay in 1970's Denmark. Along with some of the most respected Danish musicians of the day - amongst others, Anders Koppel och Jens Rugsted from Savage Rose - Bent Jacobsen finally recorded Bøsse at the end of 1974.
The sleeve shows some minor wear, but the vinyl is in Excellent condition! Comes with the original 16-page booklet with lyrics and chords. | ![]() | Jefferson Airplane - Bless It's Pointed Little Head
(RCA Victor RCA-6138 Jap-73 EX 300:-)
These 1968 live recordings from the Filmore East and West are the definitive live document of San Francisco's premier psychedelic group. 1968 was prime time for the Airplane, as the instrumental interplay between Kantner, Casady and Kaukonen had really begun to gel. So too had the interaction between lead vocalists Grace Slick and Marty Balin reached near-telepathic heights, and it can all be heard here. From the mind-melting proto-acid-rock of "Somebody to Love" to ribald, bluesy brashness of "Plastic Fantastic Lover," this is the Airplane in full flight.
Scarce Japanese 1973 issue complete with Obi and lyric insert. | ![]() | Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane takes Off
(RCA Victor LSP-3584 Ger-66 VG+ 400:-)
There is a reason why the Jefferson Airplane was the first nationally renowned proponent of San Francisco rock. As much as they bucked establishment values, the sextet offered a musical mixture of California folk-rock and white blues that was nevertheless easier to digest than the sounds of their contemporaries. Takes Off, their debut recording, made before Grace Slick joined the band, goes to great lengths to establish them as the obvious next step on a pop staircase of the Beatles, Byrds, and Rolling Stones. Signe Anderson and Marty Balin's distinctive, folky harmonies give Takes Off a lived-in warmth and a loved-in counterculture vibe that defined the times.
This original German issue contains the uncensored versions of "Let me In" and "Run Around". | ![]() | Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers
(RCA QuadraDisc APD1-0320 US-7? EX 500:-)
Controversial at the time, delayed because of fights with the record company over lyrical content and the original title (Volunteers of America), Volunteers was a powerful release that neatly closed out and wrapped up the '60s. Here, the Jefferson Airplane presents itself in full revolutionary rhetoric, issuing a call to "tear down the walls" and "get it on together." "We Can Be Together" and "Volunteers" bookend the album, offering musical variations on the same chord progression and lyrical variations on the same theme. Quadraphonic Release on yellow label. This issue features different mixes from the original issue. | ![]() | Jethro Tull - Stand Up
(Island ILPS-9103 UK-7? VG+ 400:-)
The group's second album solidified their sound. There are still elements of blues present in their music, but except for the opening track, "A New Day Yesterday," it is far more muted than on their first album -- new lead guitarist Martin Barre had few of the blues stylings that characterized Mick Abrahams' playing. Rather, the influence of English folk music manifests itself on several cuts, including "Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square" and "Look Into the Sun".
Rare UK 2nd issue STEREO vinyl LP on the pink Island label with the black "block" logo, housed in a superb pop-up gatefold picture sleeve. The sleeve has been taped along the bottom, but is in otherwise excellent condition. The vinyl is in Excellent condition - a more than respectable copy! | ![]() | Jethro Tull - Stand Up

Deleted 'EMI100' series Direct Metal Mastered audiophile issue of the 1969 10-track LP pressed on 180gm Virgin Vinyl, housed in a high quality replica of the original 'pop-up' gatefold picture sleeve! | ![]() | Jethro Tull - This Was
(EMI/Chrysalis MILL-99 UK-99 EX 500:-)
Jethro Tull's first album shows a band that is a far cry from their better-known incarnation as a prog rock outfit in the late 1970s. Instead, Tull come across here as a solid and talented blues band with elements of jazz, folk, and psychedelia thrown in. The band's sound was heavily influenced by guitarist, singer, and songwriter Mick Abrahams, whose bluesy singing and leads distinguish this disc in Tull's discography. Frontman Ian Anderson also shines with tunes like "Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You" and the excellent cover of Rashaan Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo."

(Chrysalis CHR-1067 Fra-7? EX 375:-)
As a return to standard-length songs following two epic-length pieces (Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play), it was inevitable that the material on War Child would lack power. The music was no longer quite able to cover for the obscurity of Tull's lyrics: The title track is reasonably successful, but "Queen and Country" seems repetitive and pointless. "Ladies," by contrast, is one of Tull's folk-based pieces, and one of the prettiest songs on the record, beautifully sung and benefiting from some of Anderson's best flute playing to date. French issue in a totally unique picture sleeve! | ![]() | Jones, Paul - The Best of Paul Jones
(Columbia SSX-1036 Swe-68 EX 350:-)
As lead singer of Manfred Mann from 1963 to 1966, Paul Jones was one of the best vocalists of the British Invasion, able to put over blues, R&B, and high-energy pop/rock with an appealing mix of polish and soul. He rang up a couple of British Top Ten hits in late 1966 and early 1967 with "High Time" and "I've Been a Bad Bad Boy". Original Swedish compilation on the black/blue Columbia label. | ![]() | Joplin, Janis - The Classic LP Collection
(Sony 8697-96297 US-11 EX 600:-)
Known as The Queen of Rock and Roll at the height of her career, Joplin redefined the role of women in music with her signature bluesy wail and electrifying stage presence, providing some of the most emotionally charged performances of her era.
The Classic LP Collection box set features Janis Joplin’s 4 celebrated classic albums - Big Brother and the Holding Company and Cheap Thrills and solo albums I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama! and Pearl – on 180-gram audiophile vinyl.
