JAPAN
Obscure Alternatives
1978 Canada pressing
This was the last of Japan as “glam #newwave band”, as they started to enter Phase 2 of their career.
Sylvian is experimenting with vocal style here, & when you get to the closer “The Tenant”, you hear the Japan we think of now, from Quiet Life on.
The “more #art less rock” Japan.
I love this album though.
“Rhodesia” has a total #reggae vibe, and the two ‘singles’ are really good.

The Cooler (1974) was a spy novel written by George Markstein, co-creator of 1960s surreal espionage series The Prisoner. It’s based on the real-life Inverlair Lodge, a ‘retirement home for spies’, which also inspired The Prisoner. It was long out of print but is now available again, with a striking cover - https://plumeriapics.co.uk/shop/ols/products/the-cooler-pbk

BERT JANSCH
Jack Orion
1971 U.S. pressing
Sending this one out to @revivalrecords ; after watching the clip he sent me of Jansch & McTell playing together, it drove me right to my favorite Bert record, which features John Renbourn playing second guitar on four songs.
One of the great Scots ever.

ALICE COLTRANE
World Galaxy
1972 U.S. Quadraphonic pressing
More Alice on a Sunday afternoon.
The 3 “Galaxy” pieces here are wonderfully batshit crazy. Particularly “Galaxy In Satchidananda”, which clocks in at just over 10 mins.
Bueno, yo reenvío esto y ya puedo morir tranquilo.
Well, I'll forward this and I can die in peace.

JOE HENDERSON
Canyon Lady
1975 U.S. pressing
This is another record from my collection that I have my old upstairs neighbor in Brooklyn to thank for.
A very smooth #fusion record with a touch of Latin flair.
It’s a safe assumption that Ernie has long passed, since he was in his late sixties when we last saw each other in 2001, but you never know.
There’s lots in my collection he introduced me to.
Thank you, Ernie, wherever you are.

ALICE COOPER
School’s Out
1972 U.S. pressing
[with panties]
School’s been permanently out for me since 1996, but that doesn’t stop me from revisiting this album once a year.
I have the movie Dazed And Confused to thank for me finally diving into this album on whole as a kid.
I’ve always had a great appreciation for “Public Animal #9 “.

March 29, 1976 and the Park Model Is On Display at Vintage Edmonton:
I went a little wild today, and scored a thick pile of #70s and #80s 7” singles.
38 to be exact.
R.E.M., Blondie, Soft Cell, OMD, U2, Guns N Roses, Berlin, Springsteen, AC/DC, Billy Vera, B52’s, Thomas Dolby, The Cult… just to name a few.
A ton of appetizer spins to keep me busy for a while.

La Leyla
1976 Canada pressing
Some of the KRAUTIEST #krautrock that has ever krauted.
Super proggy.
Super indulgent.
UBER krauty.
The opening track “Devil Inside” has some killer guitar playing, and interstellar keyboards. It’s so badass.
Bong hits recommended.
The Midnight Special
