Simply Red- Recollections: Personal Edit (2025)- ****
(Faithful new recordings of 40 classic tracks for the band's 40th anniversary. Nothing groundbreaking, but I really enjoyed it. They were a great live band who I saw a few times at the legendary Bottom Line.)

v/a-Tribute To The Beatles Reggae Style: Personal Edit (2001)- ***

The Cops 'N Robbers- S/T (1997)-***1/2

(The entire output of this 60's beat group from Britain. Some great stuff, some average. But all of it is fun. Think Yardbirds with less of a focus on guitars, and more on the organ and harmonica.)

Ricky Byrd- NYC Made (2025)- ****
Sweet- Action: The Sweet Anthology, Personal Edit (2009)-****
Deep Purple- Personal Playlist (2025)- ****
Dead Boys- We Have Come For Your Children (1978)- ****
Drive-By Truckers- A Blessing & A Curse (2007)- ***
Thin Lizzy- Derby College, 11/21/75 (2025)- ***1/2
