Looking at Long John Baldry (The UA Years 1964-1966)


Baldry was in at the start of the British Blues scene, from the days back in the late 1950s when he sang at the Roundhouse in Soho with the likes of Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies. This set does true justice to Long John, covering his early electric blues period through to his more soul and pop-oriented days. Highlights for me are "Five Long Years", "Bad Luck Soul", "The Drifter" and "S.O.S." I have played this set quite a lot and continually find something new to enjoy each time. My only criticism is the inclusion of rather superfluous 'bonus' mono/stereo mixes of tracks that appear very soon before! However, go out and buy this and you surely won't be disappointed!

Titles:
    1. Got My Mojo Working
    2. Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You
    3. Roll 'Em Pete
    4. You're Breaking My Heart
    5. Hoochie Coochie
    6. Everyday (I Have the Blues)
    7. Dimples
    8. Five Long Years
    9. My Babe
    10. Times Are Getting Tougher Than Tough
    11. Goin' Down Slow
    12. Rock the Joint
    13. You'll Be Mine [*]
    14. Up Above My Head I Hear Music in the Air [*] - Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart
    15. I'm on to You Baby [*]

Boogie Woogie: The Warner Bros. Recordings


At over fifty bucks it must be... I can't figure any other reason. It's not an import. According to Relix its a 2-CD compilation of the albums "It Aint Easy" and "Everything Stops For Tea" - two great albums - plus a few outtakes. I'd plunk down twenty bucks in a flash for this but not these crazy prices. Why does everyone think us baby boomers are all independently wealthy and will pay over twenty five dollars a disk for thirty five year old reissues? Thank god for on-line file sharing.


Titles:
    1. Intro: Conditional Discharge
    2. Don't Try to Lay No Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll
    3. Black Girl
    4. It Ain't Easy
    5. Morning Morning
    6. I'm Ready
    7. Let's Burn Down the Cornfield
    8. Mr. Rubin
    9. Rock Me When He's Gone
    10. Flying
