jHendrix in London

May 7, 1967 ~ England gets it's first taste of Jimi Hendrix. It's at The Saville Theatre -- The Who and The Beach Boys are there. So is John, Paul, George and Ringo. Jimi gets together with the band just before they hit the stage and tells them they're going to do "Sgt. Pepper's."

2012 Europe Reissue

I’ve never owned a copy of this essential work of #art that didn’t have tons of surface noise, skips, or pops and clicks.

So, when I saw this reissue today in the used bin in MINT condition, I was very happy.
This sounds incredible; fully analog, with that #60s brand stereo: drums hard panned left, guitars hard right, with wonderful mastering.
Just a full, deep sounding press.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away.

THE THIRD RAIL
Id Music
1967 U.S. pressing

One hell of an infectious #60s #psychedelic pop record, anchored by the almost annoyingly catchy “Run, Run, Run”.

Every one of these songs but one clock in at around two & a half minutes, with the longest one being 3:07. So either way, love it or hate it, it’s over before you know it.
Not much to hate here, though. Pretty fun album.

THE ROLLING STONES
Beggars Banquet
Canada Reissue
[London Sunrise labels]

A stone cold classic for last spin of the night.

My second favorite Stones album, but it contains my favorite RS song of all time in the closer “Salt Of The Earth”.

Just a STELLAR sounding pressing as well. Really killer separation and punchy bass.
