David Peel & The Lower East Side - And The Rest Is History: The Elektra Recordings (Rhino Handmade comp. 2000)
So much for limited edition numbered reissues.
Oh well, David's stoner street rock has so much iconoclastic mojo, not to mention cultural significance, that the digital world should be able to enjoy it.
From the original Rhino Handmade promotional material penned by "Roland Worthington Hand" (HANDmade, get it?
):
Since their release three decades ago, legions of bipedal non-hoofed mammals from all around the world have adopted several songs from these David Peel & the Lower East Side albums as the equivalent of National Anthems. And, since these two Elektra albums, Peel has continued to record and release albums that express his unique vision and musical viewpoints as well as remain active as an icon, advocate, and volunteer for social and political reform in which he strongly believes. So return now to the time of pink prismed eyeglasses, hand-rolled patchouli incense, and colorfully patched denims. To the time of co-ed bodypainting, cross-country Volkswagen expeditions, and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" played at full volume. To the time of peace, love, and understanding before warfare was conducted from satellites, before generic names of antibiotics were household words, and before cynicism became a full-time national sport. Both Have a Marijuana and The American Revolution have been out of print in the United States for about a quarter of a century, and neither has ever before been released on compact disc anywhere on planet Earth. Listeners are blessed because the archivists at Rhino Handmade have painstakingly cultivated all of the original master tapes in order to again plant the creative seeds of And the Rest Is History: The Elektra Recordings into your personal audio stash.

I'm very fortunate to have those two and "The Pope Smokes Dope" on vinyl...must listen soon.

Pylon- Chomp (1983)
Little known fact: LPFreak listens to Pylon while he shaves in the morning. He says it gives him a closer shave with less irritation.
I just have got to remember to look for that camera this afternoon.

Red Guitars - Seven Types Of Ambiguity: BBC Sessions 1983-1986 (RPM comp. 1993)
From Hull, home of The Housemartins, came The Red Guitars. They disappeared after releasing a satchelful of singles and a couple of vinyl albums. But these sparkling tracks for Auntie Beeb show them at their best. As a bonus, we get their most memorable single, "Good Technology" in its original form.
on the Sam-O-Meter.
EDIT: Since posting this, I located the band's website: https://www.redguitars.co.uk/
They offer for a very reasonable £7.50 including P&P "Good Technology", a collection with the entire first album plus the early singles. Their fascinating website has a wealth of information about the band and its members, including audio and video.

It's been somewhat of a Classic Rock morning. After reading Ojai's posts about the greatest 100 bootlegs, I began to listen to The Beatles' Esher Sessions via the white album re-release of last year. There was also a post about a Led Zeppelin bootleg. It isn't on Spotify but I did listen to a couple of LZ tracks while I was looking. I decided it's too early in the morning for Zeppelin, but allmusic.com had a link to a Queen album on the LZ page. We saw the Freddie Mercury movie last month and I realized I've never listened to Queen's A Night At The Opera from start to finish. I never owned the album. Many friends did, and I've heard most of it in bits and pieces, but never sat down and listened to it from end to end. So this morning I'm catching up on that missed life event.

Kudos to you - wonderful album. The non-radio songs are wonderful
Agreed - Wednesday is always busy, and I felt like listening to familiar, old style rock.
I went with a Bob Seger mix

Though this is a collaborative effort headlined by a sextet of heavy hitters (Robert Glasper, Terrace Martin, Derric Hodge, Christian Scott, and more) in contemporary fusion Jazz market, I tend to view this as a Christian Scott led album. In reality, Glasper initiated this union, and all four of those guys probably had equal weight in the decision making process. But that won't stop me from filing this under "S".
Like those four guys' more recent works, this one leans more to a fusion of Jazz and Soul than straight ahead Jazz. If you like such things, most of this is just fine and some is great. I get the feeling that I sometimes listen to this a bit too casually to enjoy it fully, but it remains a good listen even when I'm too busy to focus on it solely. It's just that the album is very good when I can afford to focus on it.
