Sean, is this a CBS India pressing? The one I have is and it is exceptionally good for an Indian pressing.

It's a CBS Holland pressing.

Happy Birthday to Taj Mahal - one of my favourite blues artists, and the greatest living exponent of the genre. On the occasion, I decided to spin a decidedly non bluesy album from him. One of his earliest deviations from classic blues, his explorations would range far and wide in the decades to come. This is some laidback funky, folksy, rootsy country blues (ish). Sort of. ‘Happy just to be like I am’ is, true to its title, a happy, upbeat album, far from the cry-into-your-moonshine-with-shotgun-at-hand-at-4-am stuff that is/was the genre. Heck, he uses a fife to punctuate his vocals! My copy has the sides incorrectly labelled (reversed). Great album imo. 1971, Columbia, US

Now spinning The Best of the Spencer Davis Group. 1967, Island Records. Indeterminate English reissue.

Gawd, how outrageously talented was Steve Winwood! Barely 15 when he and his brother laid down some of these bangers with the Spencer Davis group. Ridiculously mature. This doesn’t sound like a kid - more like an old soul.

Now on to some ‘Classic Ash’. Very good compilation of early Wishbone Ash. 1977, MCA Records, English pressing

Heard these recently. It surprises me how well they are recorded. Kismet ‘Lakhon hai Yahan Diwale’ and CID ‘Yeh hai Bombay Meri Jaan’ deserve a listen.

It really is stunning. I’ll lay my hands on a good condition OG copy someday.

In the meantime, spinning ‘This is the Moody Blues’. Threshold, 1974, Dutch pressing

Today in 1969, the universe saw fit to give us the gift of this album. Crosby, Stills & Nash - the gift that truly keeps on giving. Atlantic 75, Chris Bellman cut

Paul Anka and Elton John today. Paul Anka sings “My Way”, which he wrote for, and made immortal by, Frank Sinatra, in this album. Not very happy with this 1969 recording , though.
