Black Widow – Sacrifice (1970)

Progressive jazz rock from Leicester, UK. Occult lyrics and imagery.

The stage show apparently included the symbolic sacrifice of a virgin. 😄

Buzzcocks – Another Music In A Different Kitchen (1978)

Just came home after a busy day at work. Feeling a little low on energy. This will surely charge me up.

What do you spin when you need a boost?

Great album! Imho their best.

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 24

Yes, it's an incredible group of musicians. I imagine that Sam Charters had the connections needed.

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 24

This is great! But I do think that Peps was at his absolute best when he made blues and reggae sung in skånska. Then he went from imitator to unique. One of the Swedish greats. 👌😊

Wow, that's a shame. Imagine that gig. Would've been something. Undoubtedly two of the greatest bands in history!

You can really hear that Tap drew inspiration from the Rutland sound, for example in their hit "Gimme Some Money".

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 24

Their first album was made in 20 minutes, the second took even longer.

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 23

Love Nazareth, and I agree on Dan McCafferty!

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 23

Yes, it's lovely stuff!

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 23

Lots of cool stuff in very good condition. It's clear that the previous owner loved music and his records.

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 23

Yes, probably my favourite Elton album as well. It's really hard for me to pick the best track. So many great ones.

Zappa Pappa @zappapappa.bsky.social · Mar 23

Haha, yeah, that's great!

Jethro Tull – Stand Up (1969)

After "This Was", when the band's original guitarist Mick Abrahams departed, Tony Iommi rehearsed with Tull for a while. He didn't quite fit in with the band and Martin Barre eventually got the job.
