Nine CD set. This collection gathers together the nine albums that Judy Collins recorded during the '70s and '80s: Whales & Nightingales, Living, True Stories And Other Dreams, Judith, Bread And Roses, Hard Times For Lovers, Running For My Life, Times Of Our Lives, and Home Again.. The albums are in CD-sized facsimile of the original sleeves, along with a booklet that compiles the credits and liner notes from those sleeves plus a note by Mick Houghton, author of Becoming Elektra: The True Story Of Jac Holzman's Visionary Record Label. They were all made for Jac Holzman's Elektra Records, a label she helped to shape in the '60s in her first decade as a recording artist through her adventurous spirit. Her forte was imaginative interpreting songs by her peers and she continued this trend throughout the '70s and into the '80s.

Three CD set. Coming together at the end of the Sixties, Essex band Dear Mr. Time were a five-piece progressive rock outfit influenced by the likes of King Crimson and The Moody Blues. The independent Square label released the band's seven-ages-of-man concept album Grandfather in early 1971. With Vertigo's interest in signing Dear Mr. Time scuppered by the fact that Square had signed them to an exclusive three-year deal, the band decided to split before a second album could be recorded. By the early Nineties, original copies of Grandfather were selling for large sums of money, and the album was counterfeited several times before finally being legally reissued in 2010. Buoyed by the reception that the official reissue received, the core members of Dear Mr. Time reconvened, recording two further albums - Brontosaurs And Bling and Time - as well as recording tracks for a proposed fourth album. This anthology of the band's work assembles all three Dear Mr. Time albums and adds that proposed fourth album. We also add some fascinating early Seventies home demos from guitarist and chief songwriter Chris Baker, performing a batch of songs that would have formed the basis of that aborted follow-up to Grandfather. With a booklet that illustrates the band's story with rare photos and new quotes, our expanded release of Grandfather is the final word on a progressive rock band who, although they made a limited impression at the time, have now attracted collector interest for more than three decades.

This 2015 box set is weighed down by the curious inclusion of Songs from The Capeman and You're the One, the former being one of Paul Simon's weakest records and the latter being a cult favorite, but the other three records – Paul Simon, There Goes Rhymin' Simon, and Hearts and Bones – are among his best and help make this a nice bargain-priced box.

CLASSIC ERA MANASSAS - LIVE BROADCAST FROM THE WEST COAST When Manassas took the stage on 7th October 1973, on the final night of their Winterland engagement that year, they had no idea it would turn out to be one of their last performances. Playing a wealth of material from their debut double album, a few choice numbers from their second record, and with some choice surprises in store, it would turn out to be one of the group s most memorable shows. The first set kicks off with a fully electric performance containing side one of their debut, performed in sequence. Both Stills and Al Perkins, who plays an impressive second lead guitar, as well as pedal steel, provide the bulk of the solos, and by this point in time they had become quite adept at complimenting each other. Chris Hillman then leads the group into a fine rendition of The Byrds' hit So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star , providing an unexpected but delightful conclusion to this 18-minute sequence. Johnny's Garden provides some lighter relief with its laidback folk-rock vibe before they conclude this first set with the smouldering blues cut Go Back Home , a standout track from Stills' first solo record.

Classic 1977 London Sessions featuring Billy Boy Arnold w/ The Groundhogs. It happened during the autumn in London in 1977. Billy Boy was touring Europe and entrepreneur Peter Shertser came up with the idea that Billy Boy should record an album with The Groundhogs at Pathway Studios, North London. Billy Boy gelled immediately with the white boy's blues rock of The Groundhogs and jammed with the band until they were tight and ready to record the album. And what an album with Billy Boy's singing and harmonica and Tony S McPhee's slide technique and outstanding licks. As one reviewer said back in1979 "Briefly and simply, this album contains some of the best blues of the 70's and some of Billy Boy Arnold's best music ever."

By 1978, southern rock was running on fumes. By 1980, most of these bands no longer existed or if they did, they no longer enjoyed the commercial success of the early to mid-70s. This live compilation of artists who recorded for the legendary Capricorn label serves as a celebration, of sorts, of the genre's most successful period. Some of the recordings date back to the early 1970s. The Allman Brothers Band's Statesboro Blues live performance at the Fillmore with Duane Allman is a different performance than the performance that appears on At Fillmore East. The inclusion of this track made this compilation very collectable among ABB fans for many years until the entire Fillmore East performances were released in 2014. And there are other rare cuts here including the only official live release from Sea Level, the band that Chuck Leavell of ABB started after the band's first breakup. Hotels, Motels and Road Shows is a fine time capsule of the 70s southern rock genre from one of the premier labels of the era. Too bad it's never been released on CD.

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the world’s No.1 disco – the high temple of Northern Soul – the legendary WIGAN CASINO, Lancashire. Set against a backdrop of rampant inflation, the 3- day working week and national power cuts, Northern Soul emerged as an escape, a secret society, a haven for like-minded teenagers. Every Saturday night for eight years, the faithful made the pilgrimage to the desolate mill town of Wigan to a broken down, pre-War dancehall on Station Road. It was a sanctuary, a special place of togetherness, elitism, and the catalyst for the music scene’s longest enduring sub-culture… Northern Soul. Our exclusive playlist highlights key records from the thousands played at the famed all-nighters by its original founding deejays, Russ Winstanley, Kev Roberts and Richard Searling.

EXCEPTIONAL LATE -1974 CONCERT FROM DICKEY BETTS GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC SHOW After the death of Duane Allman in late 1971, Dickey Betts became the Allman Brothers Band’s sole guitarist and also took on a greater singing and leadership role. Betts, over the course of one night traveling, practiced slide guitar intensively in order to cover the majority of Duane parts. He went on to write ‘Jessica’ and the Allmans biggest commercial hit, ‘Ramblin Man’. Betts first solo album, Highway Call, was released in 1974, and featured fiddle player Vassar Clements. By this time, in large part due to Capricorn Records huge albeit unexpected success, more lucrative than anyone could have dreamed. Betts found himself free to pursue almost anything he desired musically. This situation allowed him to record Highway Call, and to perform with countless great musicians for the pure joy of playing, without any expectations of making money in the process.

This release from the BGO label combines two of Gino Vannelli's albums for A&M, Powerful People (1974) and Storm at Sunup (1975). Both releases peaked in the Top 60 of the Billboard 200, while “People Gotta Move” – the lead song on the former – was one of Vannelli’s biggest singles and narrowly missed the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Those who pick up a well-chosen Vannelli compilation can get the essential songs, but soft rock diehards can obtain a fair amount of Vannelli’s choice album-bound material right here.
