v/a- Soul Power '68, Disc One (2021)- ****
(Fantastic collection of rare and unreleased rock steady and soul tracks. Will hit Disc Two soon.)
Luiz Bonfa- Uma Prece (1955)- ***1/2
Engelbert Humperdinck- S/T (1969)- ****
(Like Tom Jones, though Tom occasionally rocked a bit, Engelbert's 60's Decca output had some really terrific pop singles. Tom became legit, but poor Dinck just got worse.)
Roy Harper- Stormcock (1971)- ***1/2
The Move- The Best Of...Sides 3 & 4 (1974)- ****
The Doughboys- Running For Covers (2019)- ****1/2
(One of the best of its kind. Smart, sincere and it rocks.)
Eno- Here Come The Warm Jets (1974)- ****
The Beatles- Let It Be: Giles Martin Mix (1970/2021)- ****
Robin Zander- S/T (1993)- ****1/2
(The great, lost solo album. A major showcase for one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time, this record has it all- power pop, rock and roll, country, big ballads, a Divinyls duet, guest vocals from Maria McKee and Stevie Nicks, Nilsson and Neil Young covers, Dr. John on piano--but it also had a label with issues, so there was little to no promotion. Bring this record back!)
Mike Viola- Electro De Perfecto (2011)- ****
Grace Jones- Nightclubbing (1981)-****
