Ben E. King "Rough Edges" '70

Count your blessings if you find a copy of this rare bird. This whole album is fantastic. I picked it up in a dollar bin years back thinking it MIGHT have one good track, instead I got an album full of incredible covers. King’s cover of “She Lets Her Hair Down” is another favorite from this album. (NPR)trax:
01 She Lets Her Hair Down (Early In The Morning) / Little Green Apples 02 Wishing For Tomorrow 03 If You've Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody / Come Together 04 One Man 05 In The Midnight Hour / Lay Lady Lay 06 Don't Let Me Down 07 Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
...Many Thanks to clash for the Ben E. King share! served by Gyro1966...

DIY COMPILATION SERIES

It’s kinda funny, I was thinking about sharing this set a few days ago but put it on the back burner for some reason. Then I saw Gyro’s “1-2-3-4” post yesterday and knew it had to be a sign…

With the DIY series, Rhino attempted to do for Power Pop, Punk, and New Wave what Pebbles had done for garage rock, and what the Nuggets people continue to do for the world of psych rock. The 9-disc set pulls from both sides of the Atlantic, staying between the years 1975-1983. A wide spectrum of bands is represented, from no-names to household names, split into volumes based on genre or city scene. Long out of print, these versions are all expanded CD editions with five extra bonus tracks each.

Rhino Records (1993) 320 kbps, Front/Back scans, fully tagged
Total Size = 1.3 GB

I shared this recently, and i finally got around to seriously playing it this morning. It's really a solid American roots album, full of strong songs. Give it a good listen:

LoFi Larry,

Thanks for sharing the DIY series. Though I'm a vintage kind o' gal, I figure it's time I learned more about this facet of pop music history.

Duardo said...

Larry, thanks for the DIY series. I've stumbled across a few of these and you post should complete the collection.

Gyro, thanks for the heads up on the Aaron Lee Tasjan. Sounds interesting.

LoFiLarry, the DIY set is greatly appreciated; I'm pretty vintage myself, but I remember the music, and the CDs, too. Great to have 'em all! Thanks!
