Wishing all a very Happy Holi which is being celebrated today in many parts of our country. Kati Patang comes to mind with the iconic song “Aaj Na Chhodenge”, Kishore Kumar and Lata. Rajesh Khanna at his best. Note the mustard trousers which became quite a rage in it’s time.

Nothing like a little early Allman Brothers to dial up the afternoon. A double issue of their first two albums - self titled and Idlewild South. 1973, Japanese issue - a very sweet pressing indeed.

Now spinning Billy Joel’s then-underrated debut, Cold Spring Harbor. The album that gave us the iconic ‘She’s Got a Way’. Although it may not have been iconic then for a reason. The original was released by Artie Ripp on his label ‘Family Productions’ at a faster speed than intended due to a mastering error. It was finally re-edited and speed corrected and re-released as it was meant to be, 12 years later, in 1983 on Columbia (but by Ripp). This is the 1983 reissue.
