Ian Hunter – Rant, 2001

It’s always a happy thing when one of your favorite artists returns from a lengthy absence. What’s even happier is when he comes storming back with the sort of record that makes you realize why you held him in such high esteem in the first place. Rant is such an album.

Savoy Brown – Looking In

Probably Savoy Brown’s best and most successful album. It was recorded on a personnel precipice as within weeks of its release, three-quarters of the band deserted the ship leaving leader Kim Simmonds on his own

The Beatles – White Album

Better known as “The White Album,” this is undoubtedly The Beatles most mature and diverse album. Clocking in at ninety minutes, every track is a gem.

Steppenwolf – Live

Definitely one of the finest of many good live albums from the early seventies, catching the live beast that was Steppenwolf at the peak of their undoubted powers.

Hawkwind – Electric Tepee

Back in 1992, Hawkwind released ‘Electric Tepee,’ a sensational album of space rock combining intergalactic orbital rockers with huge chunks of Hawk dreamscapes that whisk you off on a sonic journey, clocking in at one hour and fifteen minutes.

The Clash – London Calling

Busting at the seams with creative energy, The Clash’s stunning 1979 double album, “London Calling,” digitally remastered from the original production tapes, puts both vinyl albums on one CD.

Harvey Bainbridge – Interstellar Chaos

‘Interstellar Chaos’ is a series of trips to outer space through the mind of Harvey Bainbridge. All the music is played by the man himself. Each one whisking you away to different parts of the stratosphere.
