Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[NickD]

I had some vouchers from a recent work anniversary and decided to fill some gaps in my collection (I had Bleach and MoP on CD already)

I don't think this album from 1971 is particularly well-known, but it truly deserves to be. As the only release by the band from Alabama led by the then 17-year-old Myke Jackson, it impresses (at least to me) with its very deep musical emotions and abilities. I also like the musical range.

While 'Look At The Sun' almost comes along like a McCartney composition, the following 'Now She's Gone' is a jazzy psych-rock and then 'Weepin' Mama Blues' a pretty cool southern blues rock piece. But my favourite is the multi-part, 10min-long prog-rock masterpiece 'The Change'.

If you don't know the album give it a try. Definitely worth it.

Been awhile since I had a Saturday night whiskey/ music room listening solo session. God bless Shelly Manne.

@GraemeE still so bummed they called it quits right when they were in their prime.

Love the artwork on Masana Temples.

Their own label Guruguru still puts out interesting new stuff.
Like the clouds&waves idea of wrapping the single in Japanese weave.

@Aetas sorry this is off topic but I saw an exhibition at the national gallery in Sofia of someone who took photos of horse statues and used software to remove the human riders from them. Probably 3-4 rooms maybe 400 images of statues from all over the world (crazy how popular horse statues are). So now I think of that when I see your horse statue icon. Back to vinyl….
