This collection of old-time social and instrumental string-band music spotlights instrumental prowess. Old-time music features playing styles that pre-date bluegrass, emerging from the string band tradition stretching back to the early years of United States history. Both African-American and Anglo-American ingredients are at its core, the banjo having African origins, the fiddle European. Some of the most revered sources of old-time roots music—Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcomb, Wade Ward, Tommy Jarrell, and more—are heard playing in their original styles. The Grateful Dead's cover of "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down" and Bob Dylan's rendition of Clarence Ashley's "Little Sadie" clearly attest to the continuing influence of these songs. Compiled and annotated by Jeff Place.

Ernie Hines - Electrified (1972, reissue 2010)
Super-rare Stax funk masterpiece, Ernie Hines “Electrified” was recorded for Stax’s We Produce subsidiary. The album is a fantastic piece of southern soul, with a couple of funk tracks, including ‘Our Generation’, a politically-edged call to arms, that became very sought-after when it was sampled by Pete Rock.

Jimmy & David Ruffin - I Am My Brother's Keeper (1970, reissue 2010)
Great collection for the 60s Motown fan. Brothers in life and brothers at Motown, Jimmy and David Ruffin took advantage of a lull in their respective solo careers to record this underrated 1970 album, released here on CD for the first time.

Bobby Forrester - Organist (1971, reissue 2013)
One of the greatest albums of Hammond jazz ever recorded. The sound here a lean, mean revision of the Prestige Hammond jazz groove of the 60s – Bobby grooving on organ with just drums by Johnny Kirkwood and guitar by Elijah Williams Jr – all coming together in a totally solid sound that has plenty of funky riffs, nice drums, and soaring organ lines!

Georgie Fame - Seventh Son/Going Home (1969/1971, reissue 2008)
The 10 tracks of Seventh Son (1969) remain as Georgie Fame's closest brush with Psychedelia apart from sparing use of vocal effects and some fuzzed-out bass, the record continues his maturation from R&B-inspired Jazz-influenced sophisticate. Recorded with an ace session band featuring trumpeter Les Condon, trombonist Chris Pyne and percussionist Frank Ricotti, The 12 tracks of Going Home (1971) boasts a maturity and subtlety often missing from Georgie Fame's previous LPs, its simple approach strips away some of the more gimmicky elements of his earlier efforts, emphasizing the increasingly honest soulfulness of his vocals.

THE ADVERTS - Anthology (1977-1979) @320

The Adverts' back catalog has never been afraid of anthologies of one kind of another, whether it's another appearance for "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" on a punk's greatest hits-type collection, or a full fledged "best of the band" compilation. If the appearance of another sampler fails to fill you with anticipation, however, think again. Anthology might well be the best Adverts album you'll ever find -- bar none. There are no surprises within the track listing, nor are there any omissions. Between 1977 and their split in 1979, The Adverts recorded 26 songs, spread across seven singles and two albums, and all of them are here. Where things get interesting is in compiler (and lead vocalist) TV Smith's decision to draw the 26 from across the group's entire vocabulary.
Several of the singles appeared in decidedly different versions on LP -- Smith selects whichever he thinks was most representative. Other familiar takes are replaced by BBC session versions: The Adverts made four appearances on John Peel's nightly show, and the highlights here, all dating from their 1978-1979 sessions, are genuinely among the best things the band recorded. Finally, anybody nursing happy memories of The Adverts' live sound will be thrilled by the inclusion of a bonus disc repeating a dozen songs from a show in early 1977. (Originally released as Live at the Roxy, the fully remastered disc has been accurately retitled NOT Live at the Roxy -- it actually dates from a show somewhere else entirely). Thrilling, too, is the accompanying booklet, featuring Smith's own thoughts on each of the songs, together with a clutch of previously unpublished photos by Ray Stevenson, a full discography, and line-up info. In other words, it's precisely the kind of all-encompassing document that this most precious of first-wave punk bands has been crying out for all along. Best-of albums simply don't get better than this. (Allmusic)

THREE DOG NIGHT - Coming Down Your Way (1975) [2013 Japan SHM-CD UICY-75572] @320
http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/32967604/file.html
Three Dog Night garnered three hits off of their 1974 release, Hard Labor, with material from John Hiatt, Allen Toussaint, and David Courtney/Leo Sayer. This time around they obtain their 21st and final Top 40 entry with a Dave Loggins song, "'Till the World Ends," and it is no "Pieces of April," the lovely composition from the same songwriter which landed in the Top 20 for the group two-and-a-half-years earlier. The problem with the song is the same dilemma faced by the album, Coming Down Your Way, the band seeking another genre to conquer while keeping their eye off of the precise and major Top 40 activity which was their bread and butter. Keyboard player for the Blues Image, Frank "Skip" Konte, joins Jimmy Greenspoon on the ivories with the Monkees/Barry Manilow bassist Dennis Belfield onboard as well. Their addition makes for a very musical album with Danny Hutton, Cory Wells and Chuck Negron emulating the Band and some kind of pseudo-slickGrateful Dead rather than sticking with the formula which made them so very successful. Jimmy Ienner's production doesn't have the sparkle it did four months earlier on Grand Funk Railroad's "Bad Time," a heavy metal band sounding more like Three Dog Night than Three Dog Night. Tracked at Colorado's famed Caribou Ranch, the disc also fails to come up with something as extraordinary as Elton John's "Island Girl," a song manufactured in the same recording facility and hitting number one two months after " 'Till the World Ends" brought the group's six-and-a-half-year chart run to a close. Jack Lynton's "Coming Down Your Way" is a reflection of Leo Sayer's "The Show Must Go On" and the closest thing to familiar Dog Night as this disc gets. Jeff Barry's "When It's Over" puts it all into perspective, Negron phrasing the lament which states the obvious for the once magnificent radio-friendly pop production machine. A frustrating outing because all involved were certainly proficient enough to come up with something more substantial than these ten performances which play like unfinished outtakes. Associate Producer on this effort, Bob Monaco, would take the remnants of the group down a disco path with the 1976 release, American Pastime, effectively closing the door and pointing the band toward their next phase -- that of an oldies act.

Hopefully zippyshare will get straightened out. Many of my old links are not working at the moment. I am hoping it's just a temporary problem.
I checked zippyshare on Safari, and it works fine. It seems that just Firefox is giving me problems with zippyshare right now. Hopefully it will get corrected by Firefox soon, or maybe i will have to reinstall Firefox.
Hey Jilliam. Nice to see you here. I see that Drumbago is gone. It's hard to keep up with you!!

Thanks ti Jillem and Gyro for Georgie Fame and Steve Young. Old Time Music is great as well!

Oops!! I meant "Jillem"
thank you!!
Gee, Jillem:
I somehow managed to miss Drumbago (which I assume was your most recent blog after Reneshoua.) How do we find out when you start a new site?
Thanks,
Jukebox Lil
Hi A,
There's no new blog. I like it here very much. Es gefällt mir bei RYP sehr gut!
Danke, mir auch mit meinem holländischen Freund Jillem! Schade nur, dass ich nicht so gut die holländische Sprache sprechen oder schreiben kann wie Du die deutsche!
Thanks
thank you for the old-time music, RYP - I love stuff like this.....
