Elton John. Regimental Sgt. Zippo. A psychedelic Beatlesque 1968 would-be debut for Elton, shelved at the time and unheard until now, It's a hoot. Elton hadn't found his Southern accent yet, but this early glimpse of the Bernie/Elton writing partnership is fascinating.


Sam Cooke. Soulful Inspiration

The White Stripes. White Blood Cells XX. The 20th anniversary edition of White Blood Cells contains a rarities disc and a live disc of a 2001 concert.

Manassas Manassas

Blind Blake Collected Works (1926 - 1932)

Eric Clapton Happy, Happy Birthday Eric (bootleg) feat Bob Dylan, Jesse Ed Davis, Billy Preston, Ron Woods, The Band. I hate that Clapton's a racist, especially after all the Black musicians he learned from over the years. And now he joins Van Morrison and Morrissey with COVID denial. I'm tempted to simply not discuss these artists here, but this bootleg is amazing.

The Who Live At The Monterey International Pop Festival (1968)
