Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Messin'
(Vertigo 6360 087 Ger-73 VG+ 375:-)
Opening with Mike Hugg's title track, which builds on Mick Rogers' intense riffing and the killer vocals of Vicki Brown, Judith Powell, Liza Strike and Ruby James, Messin' is pretty intense and involving from its very first bars. It's also damned topical and serious, for all of the free-wheeling rock & roll spirits and the progressive rock complexities that go into the playing. And the result is a spellbinding whole. Original German release on the B&W Vertigo "swirl" label. The sleeve is rated Very Good with a small tear on front from a removed sticker - the vinyl is Very Good+. | ![]() | Manson Family - Sings the Songs of Charles Manson
(private pressing UK-86 EX 500:-)
Taken from original recordings made in or around 1970 at the Spahn Ranch Saloon, featuring members of the Charles Manson "family". Although Charles Manson himself does not appear on any of the tracks, as it was recorded while the trial was ongoing, however he is given written credit for all of the songs. The song "Get on Home" contains the eerie line referring to the killers carving x's into their foreheads. Limited Edition, White Vinyl, 999 copies only (#295). | ![]() | Matching Mole - Little Red Book
(CBS S-65260 UK-72 EX 400:-)
Fantastic work from this legendary British prog/jazz/rock group that featured Robert Wyatt and Phil Miller!
Little Red Record was originally one of the only two they ever cut, and it sounds like a mix between Wyatt-era Soft Machine material, and some of the later jazz-oriented stuff that Miller recorded with others on Virgin. Mole's style is a perfect blend of all the disparate elements that were swirling around the London scene at the time – and they carry off their work without falling into the traps of self-indulgence that hurt so many other British groups at the time. Robert Fripp produced, and titles include "Starting In The Middle Of The Day We Can Drink Our Politics Away", "Flora Fidgit", "Smoke Signal", and "Gloria Gloom". Great stuff – and the kind of prog even a punk could be proud to love! | ![]() | McCartney, Paul - Band on the Run
(EMI OC-064-05503 UK-97 EX 500:-)
Neither the rustic Wild Life nor the slick AOR flourishes of Red Rose Speedway earned Paul McCartney much respect, so he made the self-consciously ambitious Band on the Run partially to rebuke his critics. On the surface, Band on the Run appears to be constructed as a song cycle in the vein of Abbey Road, but subsequent listens reveal that there are only passing similarities between the two albums. Some of this is quite showy, particularly the whimsical mini-suite of the title track and the surging surrealism of "Jet," but some of the most enduring moments are simpler, like the sunny acoustic "Bluebird" and rocking, rolling "Helen Wheels."

McCartney II, originally issued in May of 1980, was McCartney's return to solo work after nine years touring and having released several massively successful albums with Wings. Reaching No. 1 in the UK and No. 3 in the U.S., the album produced enduring classics such as "Coming Up," "Waterfalls" and "Temporary Secretary."
Paul McCartney personally supervised all aspects of this reissue. The remastering work was done at Abbey Road using the same team who recently remastered the complete Beatles' catalog.

Throughout his career, John Mellencamp has had to fight, whether it was for the right to record under his own name or for respect as an artist. Of course, he never made it easy on himself. Mellencamp began his career in the late '70s as a Bruce Springsteen clone called Johnny Cougar. As his career progressed, his music became more distinctive, developing into a Stonesy blend of hard rock and folk-rock. This is a live concert, recorded in Dallas 1988. | ![]() | Mercyful Fate - Nuns have no Fun
(Rave On RMLP-002 Hol-82 EX 800:-)
