Marianne Faithfull- Before The Poison- ****1/2
(Wow. I don't think I have ever heard this record. Beautiful.)
Punkadelic- Run White Boy Run- **1/2
(I don't mind weird. I just don't like weird for the sake of weird, and I think Mike Dillon tries a bit too hard to be weird. This won't get a second play.)
Candi Staton- Back To My Roots- ***1/2
Icecream Hands- Sweeter Than The Radio- ***1/2
Patti Smith- Horses- ***1/2
The Jam- Extras- *****
Led Zeppelin- Copenhagen, 7/23/79 (select songs)- ****
(Page's playing is surprisingly clean and inspired, considering how much of a mess he was on the last tour in 1977. The solos in "Since I've Been Loving You" and "No Quarter" are fantastic. Good show and a better than average audience recording.)
The Wild Tchoupitoulas w/The Neville Brothers- New Orleans '77- ****1/2
(Just released from the Tipitina's Record Club. An amazing document of a rare performance.)
Rod Stewart- Almost Famous: Newcastle, 12/18/76- ****
(Recommended. Fun show. Band is great. Rod is in great voice. Excellent set list.)

Before the Poison is sublime and the next 3 or 4 MF albums after are as good or better.

Her voice is especially strong on "Poison" and "Horses High Heels."
