First 45 rpm record I bought. Played it on me mum’s old radiogram and wrecked it! Had to change the needle every 10 plays! Exciting record at the time though! |
|
Showcase for Jimi’s spiralling guitar work. I saw him play live a couple of times- once at a small club in South Shields (the Cellar Club) and also the Windsor Festival. Wow! |
|
I know it has been a big hit for him but just love the voice. |
|
Started in Lennon’s loft using a mellotron I do believe. |
|
Swampy R&B from a Southern diva. |
|

|
Great arrangement and production from David Foster. Feel good! |
|
Funky bootleg recorded in a club. |
|
A 70’s classic with some class guitar playing and Lou in top form. |

I discovered this at a record fair in London many moons ago. As I had played keyboards with Howlin’ Wolf for four weeks around the country in 1969, it was great to find a 45rpm vinyl copy in good nick! |
|
Grand Texan boogie record. |
|
Originally released on Phillips with Bowie in a dress and blonde hair on the cover. This was deleted and re-released on RCA when he became Ziggy. My dear mate Mick Ronson came into his own. |
