BGO 2cd has the 2 lps paired with the correct playing speed on the 1st lp.
Day of Phoenix really reminded me of the sound of Mad River on their first lp. Not sure if 2nd lp is anywhere near as good. Esoteric paired the 2 recently.
I think there was a thorough telling of the Mad River story in an early edition of Flashback! The Richard Morton Jack fanzine from about 5 years ago.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/1b857c8f0b2c481330af2379fffd802c/1570898Dodgy cultural appropriating sleeve masks a pretty decent Italian prog lp . I heard soe bits of this on Spotify and enjoyed the squalling guitar which reminded me of Ray Russel's in Running Man.THink this is pretty great and apparently it does get a lot of recognition among fans of the genre. Not really sure why it's taken me so long to discover this. Have been semi aware of it for a couple of decades but not really heard it until I started looking through Italian prog stuff this year and hearing tracks on Spotify. Does occur to me that at one point in the early 00ies I had a habit of d/ding stacks of MP3s so do now wonder if I heard any of it then. Glad to find it now anyway. It's in a digipak paper sleeve from BTF.it who I bought it from.
//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/72787662e8c3ca670c047883c09add65/8424948Quite impressive hard rockking compilation of material by the band evolved out of the Pleasure Seekers the Quatro sisters earlier 60s band.I think this is the Sundazed release of an earlier set that had been cdr only and released by a smaller label. This was last year's record store day release. I had been interested in teh cdr version a few years ago but i think it had been put on a backburner because of price or availability. So really glad to have it . I think it stands up to repeated listens. Not sure what competition they had as all female rockers at the time, Ace of Cups were around San Francisco is as far as I can think right at this moment, might be different at other times. Fanny are a little later.I think I might look into getting that Pleasure Seekers companion release on the strength of this and possibly some of Suzi's 70s stuff.
//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/e9ceadce0cd87a47e2008e22aebf0752/2293199compilation of several lps across a few years before the 2005 release of this.I love the swirling guitars which i think are by Jonah Sithole who was trying to translate the influence of the mbira to the guitar. Not sure if this is him I'm not really seeing credits for players on here. But really nice stuff and i think i need more by him.I remember reading about Mapfumo in the music press in the early to mid 80s so really should have checked him out way before this. What turned me onto him recently is a Zoom webinar on the mbira that happened a few weeks ago.There are several mbira in the mix here alongside the guitar on all tracks too

re: the mad river s/t... my copy looks like a post-2000 reissue, but no idea if it's the "corrected" version or not. think i may be alone in preferring the follow-up lp: their particular brand of acid fried pysch is still present, but leavened with country/folk elements.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a0a356013bc386ef40797bad10233873/4618421Great return lp by the visceral rocker, here backed by a more consciously funky band than at his 50s peak. He still has the fireball vocal impact of those days but music's impact has changed. They are really infectious in teh hips etc which is probably what the players on teh Speialty stuff were also going for come to think of things. Dang funky anyway.LOve thsi lp and it has me looking around at what other Southern soul/funk has a similar impact.I have this on the BGO 3lps on 2cds set which means its followed up by the King of Rock & Roll which I think works less well. That's interspersed by skit like carnival huckster like outbursts by Richard. Maybe it will grow on me but I think it has cheesier covers even if the playing is actually as good when it's allowed to bubble fully.I might get the recent reissue of this on Omnivore which has bonus tracks and better more specific liner notes still. Fantastic record, I need to hear The Second Coning the 3rd lp on this set yet.
//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/7be511e570740ecc372ac2613979744c/3334483Italian prog from 1973. This Btf verwion rearranges the tracklisting and retitles the tracks back to what the band had initially meant them to be.IT's pretty good stuff I think.
//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/d36c11d30d09e63688c98bb0d11210ab/7884585So far I've got as far as listening to the 1st disc several times . Blooming great stuff, so I'm looking forward to hearing the rest.I have tried to record Cissy Strut as my phone ringtone but may need to get a louder recording.I think the word superlative needs to be used to describe this stuff really. Fundamental really.Got given this asa replacement Xmas present after the Trees box set didn't turn up for a month. THink I have a different version of that on its way to me sometime this week.But this is the biz innit.
