Dillinger - Cornbread (1978)
Woody Shaw - Lotus Flower (1982)
Bob Marley - Natty Dread (1974)
I just read something that said Bob listed a charity soup kitchen as the writer/owner of "No Woman, No Cry" so the regular royalty checks would ensure they could keep the doors open well into the future. I then went to listen to the song because ... why not, it's awesome. Then I listened to the entire album, because it's awesome too.
*I haven't verified this story.

Cream - Disraeli Gears (1967)
I give "Mother's Lament" full credit for my later interest in British Music Hall songs.
https://folksongandmusichall.com/index.php/when-mother-was-bathing-the-baby/?print=print tells us:
Martin Carthy sang this back in the early 60s, sticking to the first verse only. The bloated behemoth (hehe) that was Cream perhaps heard it first from Martin – they did a very similar version on Disraeli Gears a few years later. Cream suggested it was a traditional song, but it seems to have been written in 1944 by Elton Box, Desmond Cox and Lewis Ilda, under the collective pseudonym Jack Spade, though it’s possible that it’s older…
An American version was recorded by Dorothy Shea, credited to Amsterdam and Kirkpatrick in 1951.

The Yardbirds - Shapes Of Things (rec. 1963-66, Charly comp. 1984)
Vinyl Spin of the Month.
After compiling exhaustive box sets of Sun Records material, for some unknown reason Charly Records continued its "Sun Box" series with The Yardbirds, a band with no connection at all to the legendary Memphis label. This 7 LP set consists of recordings produced by Giorgio Gomelsky from 1963 to 1966, when the group switched to Mickie Most. The group's discography during these years is a mess. This box gives us two albums of live shows with Sonny Boy Williamson, a third live set (Five Live Yardbirds) without Sonny Boy, the two American pastiche albums (For Your Love and Having A Rave Up With The Yardbirds) for which there is no British counterpart plus two albums of odds and sods. If ever a highly talented group was badly served by its producer, it was The Yardbirds.
Charly would go onto issue equally unsolar “Sun” boxes by Gene Vincent and Django Reinhardt. So this concludes my dive into that portion of their extensive catalog.

Patrick Gowers - Sherlock Holmes (TV soundtrack 2024)
This new release offers a DigiMIX remastering of the music from the British series starring Jeremy Brett that ran from 1984 to 1994. I don't have the earlier versions to compare but this one sounds really great. There is tremendous spatiality and presence to the individual instruments. For anyone familiar with the show, the moody, evocative chamber music and vibrant orchestra pieces need no introduction.

I'm surprised. This is excellent. And it's pop.
