While we were still living in Norfolk and I was in grade school my oldest brother was in high school when this album came out. He brought the LP home and I played it over and over again because every dang song was so good.

Checking on a couple of friends today this tune popped into my head. A little levity for bizarre times . . .

Been spinning records all day on my 'fun little stereo', just finished SideC of "The Wall' (it ends with "Comfortably Numb") and I continue to contend that an all analog, tube-based sound system is the pinnacle of gorgeous music reproduction. My little system is quite simple, relatively inexpensive, but sounds beautiful.

Nice! Love the little crackling sounds you get with vinyl.

I still have the tube receiver I had from when I was in college. And a vintage Motorola console tube stereo - the kind with side speakers and a couple more the same but solid state.

There's nothing like blasting the *^!# out of some classic rock on vinyl!

I just read that John Prine has the c-virus and is in critical condition in a Nashville hospital on a respirator. I just thought I would post this here. I’m praying for John.

i hope he is able to write a song about it.

On March 30, 1967, The Beatles went to Chelsea Manor Studios in London to photograph the cover of their newest album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The band wore satin marching band outfits of various bright colors and posing amid cardboard cutouts of several dozen famous personages.

Photographer Michael Cooper's series of pictures would become some the most famous in rock history.

Jeff Beck released his "Blow By Blow" album on March 30, 1975 (some sources say March 29). It was his seventh album and recorded in October 1974. It was an instrumental record and the first released under his name alone.

After the dissolution of his power trio in the spring of 1974, Jeff took time for session work with other groups. During this period, he decided to record an all-instrumental album, bringing back keyboardist Max Middleton from the second Jeff Beck Group and hiring George Martin to produce. Carmine Appice, who played with Beck in Beck, Bogert & Appice was involved in the writing and recording process of "Blow By Blow", but his parts were edited out after a dispute with Beck's management.

Happy 45th Birthday to "Blow By Blow"!

What’s your favorite album? When was the last time you listened — actually listened — to it from start to finish? With intention, like you were watching a movie or reading a novel.
Clear your schedule for the next three hours. Choose three full albums, whether from your collection or your streaming service of choice. Put them in an ordered queue as though you were programming a triple feature.
Because, listen:
Musicians spend years making their albums. They struggle over syllables, melodies, bridges and rhythms with the same intensity with which you compare notes on the “Forensic Files” reboot, loot corpses in “Fortnite” or pound Cabernet during pandemics.
