Brilliant early 60s style Rock 'n' Roll guitar instrumentals from this Finnish group. Lots of original material, crystal clear production, and perfect musical arrangements and performances. The Sleepwalkers are strongly influenced by the great instrumental guitar bands, performing with character and originality. Guaranteed to keep you awake.

THE BEATLES - Band On The Run ’73 @320
http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/72229994/file.html
(a soniclovenoize re-imagining)
Side A:
1. Mind Games
2. Jet
3. One Day At A Time
4. Mrs. Vanderbilt
5. Photograph
6. Be Here Now
Side B:
7. Band On The Run
8. I Know, I Know
9. No Words
10. Out Of The Blue
11. The Day The Earth Gets Round
12. Let Me Roll It
This is a “re-imagined” Beatles album that presumes the question: What if The Beatles never broke up? My Band On The Run collects the best of The Beatles solo material from and around 1973—including tracks from Band On The Run, Mind Games and Living In The Material World. It is the fourth in a series which also includes The Beatles re-imagined albums: Instant Karma! (1970), Imagine Clouds Dripping (1971) and Living In The Material World (1972).
Thanks to one of Paul McCartney’s crown achievements in his post-Beatles career paired with some fairly solid material from John, George and Ringo, this re-imagined album becomes one of the best of the series. As with the other three albums, my song selections centered on the ones that seemed to be the most “Beatlesy” and could come together as a unified album. Starting with the stand-outs of Lennon’s Mind Games, the plethora of great McCartney tracks were chosen based on how they fit in with John’s. Likewise, the remaining George songs that were not taken for my 1972 Beatles album Living In The Material World were contenders for Band On The Run, and the more serene and majestic tracks fit nicely with the Lennon and McCartney choices. Of course Ringo’s “Photograph” was a necessity.
In my opinion, the resulting album was so cohesive that half of the songs all seemed to be in the same key, which allowed the first half of side B to crossfade continuously! Note that the title track and it’s new sister-songs “I Know, I Know” and “No Words” lead off side B instead of side A because the album seemed to need the dynamic left and right punch of “Mind Games” and “Jet” to start the record. Note that we are overlooking Deny Laine’s co-writing credit on “No Words”, since we’ve already been overlooking both Linda McCartney and Yoko Ono’s credits in this entire series! But doesn’t Denny sing Lennon-esque harmonies anyways? The final touch was the hilariously obvious cover art.

BONUS 2 OF 4
EARL HOOKER - Don't Have To Worry '69 @320
http://www77.zippyshare.com/v/20263330/file.html
If push comes to shove, I would have to choose Earl Hooker as my favorite postwar electric blues guitarist. Although he was primarily recorded as a sideman early in his career, several different labels issued albums under his name in rapid succession during the late 1960s. For this we are fortunate because the tuberculosis that afflicted Hooker throughout most of his existence claimed his life soon after in 1970. Along with Two Bugs and a Roach, Don't Have to Worry ranks as the guitarist's best LP from this period. ABC subsidiary Bluesway was wise to include singer Andrew Odom and bassist Geno Skaggs among the accompanists for this session since their contributions also helped make Two Bugs and other material recorded for Arhoolie so compelling - even if the former's lyrics sometimes are not necessarily the most imaginative. Stodgy purists might take issue with Hooker's at-times progressive approach to the blues, but the fuzz and wah-wah on numbers such as "Hookin'" (a thinly-disguised remake of Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk") and "You Got to Lose" are extraordinary as far as I'm concerned.http://bluesarchives.blogspot.com/search?q=Earl+Hooker

Thanks a lot folks. This is like the school of surf/garage rock with bonus material aplenty.
Mr. Grinch (not a mean one), I once happened upon this collection of billboard hits and still have 65-86. Man, what a collection and a labor of love.
Expat Ed - eich, meich, diech
Thanks
many tanx!! The Billboard Year End Charts looks like a fantastic series. Many tanx to the Grinch. Looks like a monumental task putting together these yearly collections.
I notice that each of these three year 46-48 have a different number of tracks included. I wonder why?
Again, I can't say thanks enough.
Thank you for the Bloom Box.
