Joe Gibbs & The Professionals- African Dub All-Mighty: Chapter Three (1977)- ***
Freda Payne- Band Of Gold (1970)- ***1/2
Jon Batiste- Hollywood Africans (2018)- ***1/2
Todd Rundgren- Runt: Alternate April 1970 Master (1970/2023)- ****

Paul McCartney- Memory Almost Full (2007)- ****

(New Mojo has Macca on the cover and a few songwriters pick their favorite McCartney songs, including Elvis Costello-  "Jenny Wren," Lucinda Williams - "My Love," I'm with her, by the way, and Paul Weller who chose "You Tell Me" from this record.)


Paul Weller- At The BBC Vol. 2: Disc One (2026)- ****
(Speaking of Weller, the first disc of this new BBC set was excellent. Great alternate versions, a few acoustic takes, some cool covers.)

The Lemon Twigs- Personal Playlist (2026)- ****
The Kinks- Face To Face: Kevin Gray MONO Cut (1966/2016)- ****

Joe Walsh- Analog Man (2012)- ****
(Unsurprisingly sounds like ELO with Joe singing lead. If you're a fan of both, there is no reason to not love this record.)
