The Trinity - Streetnoise (1969)

Read an interview with keyboardist Brian Auger yesterday in The Guardian so checked this out
Nice melding of organ-based prog with some jazz elements and some psych-folk. Julie Driscoll's vocals are nice (a bit Grace Slick-ish)
Interesting, well done covers of "Light My Fire" and especially "Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In" from Hair

Concertgebouw Orchestra (Bernard Haitink, cond.) - Haydn: Symphony No. 96 & 99 (1964)

Esoteric cover art for a stirring performance of delightful if mainstream material. An odd choice, but I'm not complaining.

 

[Ojai Sam]

Allan Sherman - Allan Sherman Pours It On (1968)

 

[Unsomnambulist]

Allan Sherman - Allan Sherman Pours It On (1968)

Wow, I didn't know Starbucks was around back then.

Candi Staton - Evidence: The Complete Fame Records Masters (Kent comp. 2011)

IMHO these deep soul sides were her best. Yes, her steamy cover of Tammy's "Stand By Your Man" is included.

So Lonely All Night?....no that's a different mashup - I believe when the Police played Farm Aid

Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Joy Ride In Hi Fi (1961)

Vinyl Rip Of The Day.

Early reggae from the band featured prominently in Dr. No, the first James Bond film.

The record company managed to infringe on not one but two American trademarks, Federal Records and the Capitol Starline Series.

Various Artists - Jitterbug Jive (rec. 1940-1, Krazy Kat comp. 1997)

Clifford Curzon - A Liszt Recital (1963)

The great English pianist reportedly hated working in the recording studio, but you'd never guess that by these nuanced performances from the peak period of his career.
