Todd Rundgren- Faithful (2024, 2 LP Audiophile RM)
(Now spread over four sides, giving more real estate to this classic. Fantastic sound. And one of my favorite Todd records.)
Black Sabbath- Heaven & Hell
(Big record for me and the Brooklyn gang. A perfect Side One.)
Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited
(Why not?)
Los Straitjackets- Rock En Espanol Vol. 1
(If there was a category for "Most Fun Record Of All Time," this would be in the top 5.)
Sparks- Lil' Beethoven
(This record has been a hard sell since its release, even to some long time Sparks fans. I think it's beyond brilliant and it never fails to thrill me. The structure and attack of "My Baby's Taking Me Home" is nothing short of genius.)
Squeeze- Personal Playlist
(Sometimes you need your own greatest hits.)
Martin Newell- The Greatest Living Englishman
(Two things: Andy Partridge is credited as producer, as drummer on almost all, and as solo guitarist on one song. But, there is no way he isn't singing harmony on all of it. And, the second thing, speaking of lead guitar, I am pretty sure four or five of Andy's solos would end up on my "ten best guitar solos" list, including the one below. What Partridge does with so few notes is absolutely gorgeous.)
