Released early in 1971, a few months after Come Together, their first album for Liberty Records, Workin' Together was the first genuine hit album Ike & Tina had in years; actually, it was their biggest ever, working its way into Billboard's Top 25 and spending 38 weeks on the charts. They never had a bigger hit (the closest was their Blue Thumb release, Outta Season, which peaked at 91), and, in many ways, they didn't make a better album. After all, their classic '60s sides were just that -- sides of a single, not an album. Even though it doesn't boast the sustained vision of such contemporaries as, say, Marvin Gaye and Al Green, Workin' Together feels like a proper album, where many of the buried album tracks are as strong as the singles. Like its predecessor, it relies a bit too much on contemporary covers, which isn't bad when it's the perennial "Proud Mary," since it deftly reinterprets the original, but readings of the Beatles' "Get Back" and "Let It Be," while not bad, are a little bit too pedestrian. Fortunately, they're entirely listenable and they're the only slow moments, outweighed by songs that crackle with style and passion. Nowhere is this truer than on the opening title track, a mid-tempo groover (written by Eki Renrut, Ike's brilliant inverted alias) powered by a soulful chorus and a guitar line that plays like a mutated version of Dylan's "I Want You" riff. Then, there's the terrific Stax/Volt stomper "(Long As I Can) Get You When I Want You," possibly the highlight on the record. Though they cut a couple of classics over the next few years, most notably "Nutbush City Limits," the duo never topped this, possibly the best proper album they ever cut. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

Alejandro Escovedo - The Boxing Mirror (2006)
The Boxing Mirror is Alejandro Escovedo's first album in four years. On it he stands at the crossroads of his own life's work. Escovedo has always kept his music balanced on a fine line: on one side is his trademark elegant, poetic brand of sophisticated pop, and on the other is an original, tough, savvy rock & roll that encompasses not only grit but texture and dynamic while keeping its eyes on the street. On The Boxing Mirror, Escovedo and producer John Cale erase the line: rock, pop, country, Tejano, and other folk forms are woven into a rich, colorful fabric without regard for classification. His studio band is the finest he's ever assembled. The Boxing Mirror is brilliant, and it is his masterpiece. (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)

The Heptones - Night Food (1976, Expanded 2016)
One of my favorite reggae albums, a classic that every home should have.
Following a three-year hiatus that found frontman Leroy Sibbles relocating to Canada, the Heptones reunited in 1976 to make perhaps their most effective bid for broader acceptance. That year, the trio was fortunate enough to hook up with Island, which in the wake of Bob Marley's success was signing a number of reggae acts with an eye toward an international market. The partnership resulted in two strong sets: Party Time and Night Food. While the former supported the trio with rhythms engineered at Lee "Scratch" Perry's legendary Black Ark, the latter captured the group in a series of crisp, clear settings, laid to tape at Harry J.'s studio. Though revisiting old tunes is a common practice in the Jamaican record industry, longtime fans may have been disappointed with the number of Studio One recuts that surfaced on Night Food. Yet while there may have been a lack of fresh material, new takes on compositions originally recorded for Coxsone Dodd are approached with the sort of heart and soul followers had come to expect from the Heptones. Likewise, more recent compositions like "Country Boy," "Book of Rules," and "Mama Say" are given superb readings. The combination of mid-'70s songs and older material presented in a new setting resulted in one of the finest collections of Heptones compositions and performances on a studio set.

The Norvins - No Tymes For Tears (2014 Soundflat Records)
For the third time the French Garage-Fuzz-Rockers THE NORVINS supply us with yet another hit-album: “No Tyme For Tears”! Fuzzy guitars, groovy organ-melodies, a smashing beat, powerful and unique vocals, a bit of harmonica and a touch of psychedelia constitute this band’s signature-sound. While it remains faithful to this winning mixture in every way, the new album uncovers a fresh facet of this remarkable group and manifests a refined NORVINS-sound, which is even more captivating than what we’re already used to from the guys.
The album, available as CD and LP, is rounded as well as diverse. Fast, catchy tunes like “I Wanna Shake You Girl” build on the rough and fuzzy Garagepunk-sound of the group’s debutalbum. “Dark Avenue” and “TV Program” have a slightly dramatic feel to them, featuring a melodic organ, a cool guitar and a psychedelic hint, while the final song “Turn Off The Light” even has a touch of melancholic folk-music to it. As usual, the five Parisians include some fantastic covers of Garagepunk-classics – this time “I Need Your Lovin’” (THE EPIC FIVE) and “Destination Lonely” (THE HUNS).
The outcome is an exciting record, that should not be missing in any 60’s-Garagepunkcollection: wild Garagepunk, while at the same time professional and multifaceted.

@ Gyro many thanks but i don't believe this the norvin link i've post yesterday unless you've find q philosopher's stone that allow you to trasform file from 128 to 320 without any conversion. I THink that if isn't your link must the link post by Fussfisa.

Thanx Gyro for one more Alejandro Escovedo...lovin this stuff...
Dont happen to have Rank and File albums (or the Rhino reissue) do ya?
You are one of the best...and a tip o the hat to you too RYP!
Luis - often I am not sure where I found the link, but I assure you that I would never take a lesser file and artificially boost it to 320 because that would destroy the sound. I am always on the lookout for other music besides what I have - to share in the comments, because I think others will enjoy them. Anyway, thanks to fuffissa for the share then.

@ Gyro after a bad situation i had on another site where someone treat me like an infector because i've share for neglicence a defective link that show similar problem (but in that case only the first second of file are filled with music with the other time seem to be a cover of an famous John Cage pieces) because i've haven't listening to it after the download but only checked that link work properly as download and have exctracting him on pc without checking the real size of file and listening to him) every time that i pass a link i find on the net (unless it come from sites where i download quite diary without problems) i always check the file with the complete process (download, extraction ( also to check if there are passoword or other weird thing)) and listening to him. Sorry i don't made any analysis of the sound etc as some weird guy on the site cited above).
Personally i'm not a Bitrate snob and sure i prefer file that are "honest" (i prefer to listen to a 128 Bp file and not to a 128 masked as 320 or transcoded at 320 only to make it more suitable for the listerner) and sure avoid me to share file like the norvin one.
In Norvin case i've see that file was weird ( with the file that boost from 20 mb to more tha 70 while extracting ( that remind me ) and while listening it also boost from to a low bitrate to 320) but at least the songs are full of music ( without cover of John Cage). I have warned the person that request the file signaling the problems, but he have asked me to put on the link the same and this is the only reason that let me share the link on TZ.
And Luis - I forgot to mention thank you for all of your music and comments here. I don't mean any disrespect and I always enjoy reading your input. You are one of the upbeat people who make TZ so much fun.
@ Luis
For the man who treat you like an infector , perhaps it could be said that "If jackasses could fly, he would be squatton commander". This was one of the best dialoguist for french film who put this phrase in a film...
On TWZ you are a fabulous hunter to find the albums that are requested and we all appreciate you here!
