Steve Marriott's Packet Of Three (ex Small Faces, Humble Pie) - Live From London (1985)

Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 – 20 April 1991) was an English musician, guitarist, singer, songwriter, and actor. He was a student at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London and appeared in the West End, before taking a role in music. He co-founded and played in the rock bands Small Faces and Humble Pie, in a career spanning over 20 years. Marriott was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Small Faces.
This show functions as a defacto greatest hits, with Small Faces (“Whatcha Gonna Do About It,” All or Nothing”) and Humble Pie (“I Don’t Need No Doctor”) material played brilliantly by Marriott (who was an astonishingly gifted guitar player along with his formidable vocal skills). He was joined by bassist Jim Everton and drummer Fallon Williams (thereby this power trio was cheekingly coined the Packet of Three). They also performed choice cover songs such as Jimmy Reed’s “Shame, Shame, Shame” (sung by Leverton) and Rufus Thomas’ oft-covered “Walkin’ the Dog.”
If you’re a fan of any of Marriott’s previous groups or just a fan of raw, hard, primal blues rock played for loyal fans in a pub setting, this release is an absolute must-have.

It is credited to his trio, which included Charlie Haden on bass and Bill Frisell on guitar. It peaked at No. 13 on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums chart.
The album was produced by Baker and Malcolm Cecil and included original songs from each member of the trio. Baker fell off the roof of his Parker, Colorado, home three days prior to the start of the Seattle recording sessions; he played while dealing with the effects of a concussion and a broken rib. The album was finished in Los Angeles, in a studio next to one that was being used by Guns N' Roses. Baker liked neither the studio nor the musical style of the drummers used by Guns N' Roses. Jerry Hahn played guitar on "Sunday at the Hillcrest". Bela Fleck played banjo on three of the tracks. "Bemsha Swing" is a version of the Thelonious Monk composition. "Vino Vecchio" is a reworking of Cream's "Sweet Wine". "Au Privave" was written by Charlie Parker.

Slade - Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply [US version of The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome] (1984)

Year: 2 April 1984 (CD 1984)
Label: CBS Records (US), CSR Japan Press, ZK 39336

Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply is a studio album by the British rock group Slade, released in America and Canada on 2 April 1984. It is a repackaged version of The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome which was released in the UK, Europe and across the rest of the world in December 1983. Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply reached No. 33 in the US and No. 26 in Canada, giving the band their breakthrough in the US. The album proved to be the most successful North American release of Slade's career. Both "Run Runaway" and "My Oh My" enjoyed Top 40 success as singles there. In August 1984, the album was certified Gold in Canada for 50,000 sales.
The 1983 success of Quiet Riot's version of Slade's 1973 UK chart topper "Cum On Feel the Noize" led to Slade signing with CBS for their first American record deal since the 1970s. The label soon repackaged the band's recently released album, The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome, into Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply. The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome, along with its singles "My Oh My" and "Run Runaway", had already achieved success in the UK and Europe. Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply featured a different track-order. It also replaced "Cocky Rock Boys (Rule O.K.)" and "Razzle Dazzle Man" with the 1983 "My Oh My" B-Sides "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply" and "Can't Tame a Hurricane".

Gong - Camembert Electrique (1971)

Year: October 1971 (CD 1990)
Label: Decal Records (UK), CD LIK 64
Style: Canterbury Scene, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Country: Paris, France
Time: 39:47
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 255 Mb

Camembert Electrique (French: Electric Camembert) is the second studio album by the progressive rock band Gong, recorded and originally released in 1971 on the French BYG Actuel label. The album was recorded at Chateau d'Herouville near Paris, France, produced by Pierre Lattes and engineered by Gilles Salle. Jean Karakos (credited in Daevid Allen's liner notes as "Byg Jean Kastro Kornflakes") was executive producer.
The album was originally released in France in October 1971 on BYG Actuel (catalogue number 529.353), and reissued in the UK in 1974 by Virgin Records (catalogue number VC-502), where it sold for 59p, the price of a single, a marketing scheme Virgin had used the year before for the album The Faust Tapes by Faust, in the hope that greatly discounted albums would give more exposure to the artists and encourage sales of their regularly priced albums, although these discounted albums did not qualify for album chart listings. It was also issued twice on Virgin's Caroline Records budget label (catalogue number C-1505 also in 1974, and C-1520 around 1976), still at a discount price, but no longer priced as low as a single.

Cheap Trick - We're All Alright! [Japanese Ed. SHM-CD] (2017)

Year: June 16, 2017 (CD Jun 16, 2017)
Label: Big Machine Records (Japan), POCS-24012
Style: Hard Rock

It's difficult for any band or artist to sound enthused after decades of making music. Automatic pilot and rock 'n' roll root rot can easily set in.
There are some exceptions: Paul McCartney has had some late-career gems; same goes for David Bowie and the Monkees. You can add Cheap Trick to that list. They sound positively vibrant and genuinely excited on We're All Alright! 
Unlike many of their contemporaries, Cheap Trick have never broken up, stopped touring or quit making new music. They have also never stopped putting everything they have into what they do either. Coming hot on the heels of last year's Bang Zoom Crazy Hello, We're All Alright!  follows in the footsteps of its predecessor while adding a couple of new twists to the mix.
Guitarist Rick Nielsen welds together riffs borrowed from the Kinks and the Who for the album's first single, "Long Time Coming," while "Nowhere" takes on a Ramones-like charge in its speed attack. Other songs follow a similar path, with no track clocking in at more than four minutes. This pace gives the album a whiplash flow that recalls some of their earliest records.
A few of the songs actually date back several years. "Radio Lover" was put on the shelf in the '90s, and it's rescued from oblivion here as an amphetamine-fueled hard rocker. "Lolita" slaps keyboard sequencers on top of glam-rock boogie. And "She's Alright" features some Bob Dylan-styled phrasing from singer Robin Zander
Cheap Trick also dip into the past by covering Roy Wood again. As they've done in the past with "California Man," "Brontosaurus" and "Rock and Roll Tonight," they take the Move's 1968 song "Blackberry Way" and spin it in their direction.
The band pushes itself on We're All Alright!, turning in enthusiastic and engaging performances throughout. They still sound like a bunch of guys half their age. "Who knows what forever is about?" Zander asks on "The Rest of My Life." He doesn't pretend to know the answer.
Cheap Trick sound like they still have something to prove, and perhaps they do. After a couple of trying and triumphant years -- there was a legal hassle involving former drummer Bun E. Carlos, and they were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 -- they sound ready for their next chapter.

George Baker Selection - Paloma Blanca (1974)

Year: 1974 (CD 2003)
Label: EMI Records (Netherlands), 7243 5818482 2
Style: Folk Pop
Country: Assendelft, Netherlands
Time: 44:34
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 312 Mb

Charts: NLD #1, AUT #4, GER #1, SWE #3.
George Baker Selection was a pop-rock band from Assendelft, the Netherlands. The band is best-known for the 1969 song "Little Green Bag", the 1975 world-wide hit "Paloma Blanca" (one of the most played songs in history), and the 1985 Pan European hit "Santa Lucia by Night".
In 1968, Hans Bouwens from Wormerveer joined the band Soul Invention, a soul band that had been founded the previous year by Henk Kramer in Assendelft and played covers of songs by Otis Redding and Sam and Dave. The band consisted of Job Netten (guitar), Henk Kramer and Eric Bardoen (saxophone), Jacques Greuter (keyboard and flute), Theo Vermast and later Jan Visser (bass), and Ton Vredenburg (drums). Visser and Bouwens wrote the song "Little Greenback" [sic] in the summer of 1969. The band recorded their first album in September 1969, after which, considering this was not soul music, they changed their name to The George Baker Selection, Bouwens naming himself for a character from a detective novel. This first album, Little Green Bag (1970), produced an immediate worldwide hit: their debut single, "Little Green Bag," reached No. 16 on the Cash Box magazine chart and No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The success came as a surprise for Baker, who remembers hearing it on the radio while he was working in a lemonade factory. The single sold over one million copies globally and received a gold disc. A string of singles and albums followed; the second single, "Dear Ann," was such a success that Baker resigned from his job in the lemonade factory and became a full-time musician. Not all band members followed suit and, besides Bouwens, the Selection from mid-1970 was formed by Jan Visser, Jan Hop (drums), Jacques Greuter and George The [nl] (voice, guitar, bass). In March 1971 Jan Visser left the band to be replaced by Cor Veerman. Besides scoring hits with his own Selection, Baker wrote songs for others, including BZN, The Shoes, Andy Star, and Next One. In 1974, singer Lida Bond [nl] joined the Selection, and combining her voice with Baker's proved highly successful.
Their fifth album, Paloma Blanca, was released in 1975, and the single "Paloma Blanca" reached No. 1 on charts in several countries. It sold more than seven million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful Dutch singles ever.

Shocking Blue - Inkpot (1972) Attila (1972) [2LP on 1CD]

Year: 1972 (CD 1997)
Label: Repertoire Records (Germany), REP 4610-WP
Style: Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Country: The Hague, Netherlands
Time: 76:32
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 532 Mb

Shocking Blue was a Dutch rock band formed in The Hague in 1967. They were part of the Nederbeat movement in the Netherlands. The band had a string of hit songs during the counterculture movement of the 1960s and early 1970s, including "Send Me a Postcard" and "Venus", which became their biggest hit and reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and many other countries during 1969 and 1970. The band sold 13 million records by 1973 but disbanded in 1974. Together with Golden Earring and the George Baker Selection, they are considered the most successful Nederbeat band, because their best hits charted abroad and especially in the United States.
Drummer Cor van der Beek died on 2 April 1998 at age 49 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Mariska Veres died of gallbladder cancer on 2 December 2006 at age 59 in The Hague, Netherlands. Bassist Klaasje van der Wal died on 12 February 2018 at age 69.
Bananarama covered "Venus" in 1986, hitting number 1 in the United States, Canada, and Australia, and reaching number 8 in the UK.
Nirvana covered "Love Buzz" as their debut single in 1988 and later included it on their first album Bleach in 1989.

Ian Gillan & Tony Iommi - Who Cares [2CD] (2012)

Year: 13 July 2012 (CD Jul 13, 2012)
Label: Ear Music (Europe), 0207592ERE
Style: Hard Rock, Heavy Metal
Country: England
Time: 47:04, 48:29
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 367, 356 Mb

CD1:
01. Out of My Mind (WhoCares) – This originally appeared on the 2 track “single” CD from last year.  It’s unchanged as far as I know.  It’s a great new track from Tony & Ian.   The band on the track is stellar.  Tony Iommi, Ian Gillan, Jason Newsted, Nicko McBran, Jon Lord, & Linde Linstrom.  Makes me wish this band recorded more than just this one song.
02. Zero the Hero (Black Sabbath) – A lift from the 1983 Black Sabbath album Born Again.  A great old track.  Although if I had my choice of track to lift from the Born Again album to include, I would have picked “Hot Line”.  Oh well, still cool to see something from Born Again here.
03. Trashed (Ian Gillan) – Back in 2006, Ian Gillan put out an album called “Gillan’s Inn”, which existed to celebrate his (then) 40th anniversary in the music biz.  He re-recorded a bunch of tracks from his past.  To represent his time in Black Sabbath, he chose Trashed, and re-recorded it – with Tony Iommi on guitar.  Also on the track are Roger Glover & Ian Paice.
04. Get Away (Ian Gillan w/Michalis Rakintzis) – Originally recorded by Ian Gillan in 1993.  Even though the liner notes say who this is, I don’t know who it is!   Definitely one of the slower, more eclectic songs from the overall track listing here for sure.  Definitely not “metal” sounding at all.  Has a very catchy sounding vocal chorus, which makes the song work very well for me.
05. Slip Away (Tony Iommi w/Glenn Hughes) – This is one of the “extra” tracks from Tony’s 2005 solo album, Fused.  This one in particular was the one that was the hardest to get, as it was only available back in 2005 from the then online music retailer, real.com.  It was never available on CD anywhere – until now.   If you liked the Fused album, you should check this out for sure.
06. Don’t Hold Me Back (Gillan) – A song Ian wrote back in 1992 inbetween Deep Purple stints.  The liner notes say this was written for his wife Bron, who at the time was going to have major heart surgery.  He calls it “one of the most intimate moments of his life, expressed in song”.   Has a 90’s version of his old “shriek”, which I thought was last heard on the Born again album.  :)
07. She Thinks It’s a Crime (Ian Gillan) – This track comes from Ian’s 2009 solo album, “One Eye to Morocco”.  This track in particular was originally released on the 7 inch vinyl version ONLY.  First time on a CD anywhere.  The track doesn’t jump out at me at all musically.  Pretty bland track –  not one of my favorites on this collection.
08. Easy Come, Easy Go (Repo Depo) – This track comes from the project Ian was working on right before he rejoined Deep Purple for the “Battle Rages On” album.  Repo Depo was the name of the band.  It has never been released anywhere before in any format.  According to the liner notes, the only known copy was on a monitor cassette tape Ian had – it was brought forward and remixed in 2012 for this collection.  Nice track.  The guitar sound reminds me a bit of Tony Iommi in places.
09. Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple) – This version comes from the live Deep Purple album, “Live at the Royal Albert Hall”, and Ian shares lead vocal duties on this version with Ronnie James Dio.   Interesting hearing these two former Black Sabbath vocalists sing together on the Deep Purple Chestnut.

Crime of the Century is the third studio album by the British rock band Supertramp, released in October 1974 on A&M Records. Crime of the Century was Supertramp's commercial breakthrough in many countries, most notably in the UK, Canada and Germany where it peaked in the Top 5 while also making the Top 20 in Australia and France. It was the band's first album to chart in the United States, reaching No. 38 on the Billboard 200. The single "Dreamer" reached No. 13 on the UK singles chart, but listeners in the United States preferred its B-side, "Bloody Well Right", which peaked at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. "School" was another popular track, particularly on album rock-oriented radio stations. The album was eventually certified Gold in the US in 1977 after the release of Even in the Quietest Moments.... In Canada, it was eventually certified Diamond (sales of one million copies). The album was Supertramp's first to feature drummer Bob Siebenberg (at the time credited as Bob C. Benberg), saxophone and clarinet player and vocalist John Helliwell, bassist Dougie Thomson, and co-producer Ken Scott. The album has received critical acclaim, including its inclusion in Rolling Stone's "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time".
The album's dedication reads "To Sam", which is a nickname for Stanley August Miesegaes, the Dutch millionaire who supported the band financially from 1969 to 1972.

Supertramp - Free As A Bird (1987)

Year: 23 October 1987 (CD 1987)
Label: A&M Records (Germany), 395181-2
Style: Pop, Soft Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 44:11
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 269 Mb

The album was a turn of direction of sorts, with most of the songs stepping back from their progressive rock sound, employing synthesised dance beats and rhythms. Chief songwriter Rick Davies later recalled, "Free as a Bird was an experiment to try and be modern and build it up with computers and drum machines and have people come in one by one, which makes you lose the band spirit a little bit."[4] In the liner notes to the 2005 compilation Retrospectacle, Davies said, "Each time we went in, we would try to give it something a bit different. Free as a Bird was a lot more machine-based than anything we'd done before. That was good and bad, but it had some interesting songs on it."
Free as a Bird was the first Supertramp album to feature contributions from guitarist/vocalist Mark Hart. He would later become a full-fledged member of the group, as would trumpet player Lee Thornburg.
The group disbanded after the tour in support of the album and would not reconvene until 1997. They did so without bassist Dougie Thomson.

Steve Hillage - For To Next / And Not Or [2LP on 1CD] (1983)

Year: March 1983 (CD 2007)
Label: Virgin Records (Europe), CDVR 2244, 00946-373463-2-7
Style: Progressive Rock, Electronic, Instrumental
Country: Chingford, Essex, England (2 August 1951)
Time: 79:05
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 520 Mb

For To Next is the seventh studio album by British progressive rock musician Steve Hillage, released by Virgin Records in March 1983. It was released simultaneously with the instrumental companion album And Not Or. The two albums have been released as a double album and on a single CD.
For To Next and And Not Or are the last studio albums issued under Hillage's own name. The titles were derived from the BASIC programming language and reflect the pair's move into computer-based music production, this being mainly synthetic except for Hillage's guitar.

Nazareth - Close Enough For Rock'n'Roll [7 bonus tracks] (1976)

Year: March 1976 (CD 2002)
Label: Eagle Records (Germany), EAMCD138
Style: Hard Rock
Country: Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
Time: 64:27
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 520 Mb

WHILE I’VE never been one of Nazareth’s most fervent fans, I’ve always admired them for knowing and keeping within their obvious limitations. The band are but adequate musicians and Dan McCafferty is just an above-average vocalist — but together, they fuse quite tightly and create, if not inspiring, then some very reasonable rock music.
The theme of ‘Close Enough For Rock ‘N’ Roll’ is, oddly enough, one of disillusionment and boredom — yet this is hard to credit, once you bear witness to the highly raucous sounds.
`Telegram’ is the album’s major track. In four parts, ‘On Your Way’,`So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star’, ‘Sound Check’ and `Here We Are Again’, it tells the graphic, if at times musically cumbersome, tale of an American tour. It begins with a 747 flight and deals with immigration hassles, the limousine trip from airport to hotel (during which the car’s radio, tuned to an FM station, plays a snatch of ‘This Flight Tonight’), a Press reception and — finally — a concert itself, which ultimately degenerates into a boozy clapalong and fades. To Nazareth, the story that `Telegram’ describes is one of routine, of extreme familiarity — and yet the band attack the multi-faceted tale with a good deal of venom, perhaps venting their frustrations in this hard musical manner.
Except for a short Manny Charlton guitar instrumental, `Vicki’, and the commercial cut `Carry Out Feelings’, the rest of the album follows the same pattern — driving, below-the-belt rock music, hardly innovative, but at the same time not having enough apparent cliches for it to matter.
A good album, and one that should consolidate Naz’s position as a first division band.

Juicy Lucy - Who Do You Love (1969)

Year: 1969 (CD 1992)
Label: Castle Communications (Germany), CLC 5081
Style: Blues Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 36:13
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 233 Mb

If only one song can be said to encapsulate all that Juicy Lucy portended as their career got underway in the new decade of the '70s, it was "Who Do You Love?" The band's first single, spinning off their debut album, was as fast, mean, and dirty as any record could have been, a breakneck tour through the Bayou swamps and dirt-track roads of the American South powered by a razor-sharp guitar that would make your fingers bleed. And it gave the band a U.K. hit that still sounds fresh today. But Juicy Lucy were no one-trick pony. True, their debut album is remembered as much for its artwork (a mostly naked, fruit-draped lady) as for its content, but step inside and the group were locked firmly, and gleefully, into the free-freak movement of the age -- while Chuck Berry's "Nadine" was fed through a Hell's Angels nightclub jukebox, "Are You Satisfied" emerged as a festival chant spread out over six-and-a-half minutes, as mantra-like as (almost) anything the Edgar Broughton Band was doing at the time. The band's American roots are seldom far from the surface, of course: "Mississippi Woman" dripped oozing, cracked, croaky blues, and "Chicago North-Western" essentially offers up a history of the Midwestern railroads, while Glen Ross Campbell's steel guitar breathed Americana over everything it touched. But no matter how powerful Juicy Lucy may have been, it could not paper over the cracks that were already forming in the band themselves, and by the time they recorded their next album, the group that cut this one was already long gone. One can only dream of what they might have achieved had they stuck together.

Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits [5 bonus tracks] (1975)

Year: January 1, 1975 (CD 2009)
Label: Columbia Records (Europe), 88697556132
Style: Folk Rock, Rock
Country: Westmount, Quebec, Canada (September 21, 1934 - November 7, 2016)
Time: 78:08
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 512 Mb

According to Ira Nadel's 1996 Cohen memoir Various Positions, Cohen agreed to the project because there was a new generation of listeners and he was given complete artistic control; he picked the songs, designed the package, and insisted that the lyrics be included. The album was not a hit in the United States but did well in Europe, Cohen's major market at the time. He toured in support of the album in 1976, beginning in Berlin on April 22 and ending in London on July 7. It was during this tour that Cohen recorded the funky, disco-infused "Do I Have To Dance All Night" at Musicland Studios. The single was only released in Europe.
The front cover photograph was taken in 1968 in a Milan hotel room by a Gino, according to Cohen's liner notes. Alternative rock band Ween based the album cover for their 1991 album, The Pod, on this photograph.
In July 2009, this compilation was re-released in England under the title Greatest Hits with updated artwork and a revised track listing. Four tracks from the original 1975 version ("Lady Midnight", "The Partisan", "Last Year's Man" and "Take This Longing") were removed and nine tracks released after 1975 ("Everybody Knows", "Waiting for the Miracle", "A Thousand Kisses Deep", "The Future", "Closing Time", "Dance Me to the End of Love", "First We Take Manhattan", "I'm Your Man" and "Hallelujah") were added.

Peter, Paul And Mary - Peter, Paul And Mary [Hybrid SACD. Stereo. Audio Fidelity] (1962)

Year: May 1962 (CD 2014)
Label: Audio Fidelity (US), AFZ 161
Style: Folk, Pop, Oldies
Country: New York City, U.S.
Time: 34:18

Peter, Paul and Mary was an American folk group formed in New York City in 1961 during the American folk music revival. The trio consisted of Peter Yarrow (guitar, tenor vocals), Paul Stookey (guitar, baritone vocals), and Mary Travers (contralto vocals).
They were very successful in the early- and mid-1960s, with their debut album topping the charts for weeks, and helped popularize the folk music revival. Following Travers's death in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo. Yarrow died in 2025, leaving Stookey the sole surviving member of the group.
The self-titled debut studio album by American folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary was released in May 1962 on Warner Bros. Records. Released in both mono and stereo on catalog no. 1449, it is one of the rare folk albums to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart in the US, where it remained for over a month. The lead-off singles "If I Had a Hammer" and "Lemon Tree" reached numbers 10 and 35 respectively on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It was the group's biggest selling studio album, eventually certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for U.S. sales of more than two million copies.
At the Grammy Awards of 1963, their recording of "If I Had a Hammer" won the Best Folk Recording and Best Performance by a Vocal Group Grammies.
