Catapilla - Changes 1972 Vertigo this re Akarma 2000)



Catapillas second record Changes is better than their debut. Anna Meek's vocals sound better too. Changes is an enjoyable prog-jazz blend from star to the end. Music flows peacefully and Ann's singing carries on the eternal feeling on the album.

I have today put six new records on my blog/record self and all of them are great music in different rstyles. I could listen this over and over again. One of the best records on Vertigo label, no doubt. Akarma has made unbilievable choises when re printing rare albums. You can always trus on Akarma.

T2 - It Will All Work Out in Boomland (1970 Decca this re 2005 Akarma)




Wow!!! T2 is the best band i have never heard of before. Seriously.. it is quite hard to understand why T2 is not better known. I f they had continued together they might today be as famous as such bands as yes, genesis, elp and so  on... I give this 9,8 of 10. It is hard to believe it was made already in 1970. It sounds so today and fresh. I can hear that the band does not take themselves too seriously and that is the reason they do it so well. There's some humour in there playing. It sounds like they are in a flow and that feeling took me too. I have to put it on my my top ten albums list even though there might already be some congestion. I'm so happy i picked this new copy at a record flea for 20 euros.

Ps. I feel shame that i did not know this band and album, but better late than... it saved my year. Happy happy happy happy happy!!!!!

July - July (1968 Major Minor re 2014 Parlophone)



What has happened. last time i wrote here about the Cd -copy of this and disd not like very much. Maybe it was because i don't like jade warrior and i listened it at the same time with July back then. Now i have a vinyl copy wich sounds awesome!. And familiar too because i have listened the CD many times. Not until now i realize that this vinyl is a mono version. Today i find July awesome, maybe one of the best psychrock albums i can recall.

Black Cat Bones - Barbed Wire Sandwich 1970 (1970 Decca this re by Tapestry 2007)



Kossof and Kirke are not on this album, they are Free. Hah! Barbed Wire is quality blues-rock, should i say it it is a guitar album by Rod Price.

An easier one: Four women: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybohjil0MMA

King Crimson - Red (1974 Island, this re 198?)


Fripp, Wetton and Bruford... the best KC lineup which made band's three best record albums too: Lark's, Starless and Red and Red is obviously the top of that triangle. Great record.

Todd Rundgren - Todd (1974 Bearsville 2lp)


An excellent record. I first time in 70s purchased Utopia's live album and then some other Rundgren's records and this the latest find. Tood R is one of a kind of a genius, maybe not always understood as we as he should be. Since 1975 i have listened his music and am still a fan of him. There is something special in his music and maybe some zappaish moments/elements sometimes too. And i am a fan of Zappa as well.
