Jones Sound

I bought a cheap ultrasonic cleaner and rigged up a rotisserie and am pleased with the results. It’s not a magic bullet but has revived some records I thought were toast.

Such a great record!

Feel The Benefit is amazing! Eric Stewart is one talented dude.

Awesome!! Love SAHB! We do Midnight Moses in my geezer band. 😀

On another FM kick! Was listening to the Jumping At Shadows comp in the shop today.

Just finished up a wee 1x12 cab for a great local player. Always a pleasure to help someone get closer to the sound in their head.

I didn’t need another but I couldn’t say no!

Great record! I bought my copy after hearing Mannish Boy watching Better Off Dead! 🤣

Hope to make it back one day! Fell in love with the place last year.

I remember thinking at the time that it was a complete ripoff. And then I thought “They’re at least ripping off something good!” 🤣

I absolutely love this album!! Not my usual bag but it’s the ultimate chill out album. Even calms my nervous dog. 🤣

My favourite Thin Lizzy guitarist turns 70 today. Happy Birthday, Brian Robertson!

Didn’t realize that one had been around since the Free days!

Seemed an appropriate follow up to Blue Cheer as it all burns down. Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!!*


* Or in the case of my 80’s reissue, “brothers and sisters!” 🤣

I maybe starting to appreciate jazz more these days but I’ll always be a caveman at heart.

Starting to appreciate mellow jazz in my old age. Thanks to Mick Abrahams, Tony Iommi and Peter Frampton oddly enough…🤣

Front cover of UFO’s Phenomenon LP (1974).

It’s been a while since I last played this one. Great record with a great cover courtesy of the amazing Hipgnosis!

Front cover of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band’s Framed LP (1972).

Worth it for Midnight Moses alone! Next is probably the best studio album but I love this for MM and the killer version of I Just Want to Make Love To You.

Front cover of Badfinger’s Wish You Were Here LP (1974).

I think I bought this 30 years ago but probably only listened to it once. Threw it on tonight and it seems to me like Badfinger’s “Swan Song-era Pretty Things”, if you know what I mean? But better. Really good sounding record.

My favourite Jeff Beck album!

A good day at the record store!!!

Good to know I was only partially wrong! Thanks! 🤣

Just reading the liner notes and I was wrong about the Apollo. Green’s Playhouse in Glasgow apparently.

The art nouveau inner booklet is gorgeous, too!!

One for Steve Marriott on what would have been his birthday. I don’t listen to this one very often but it has its moments. A shame it’s as low-end rumbly as Barry White’s empty stomach. 😬

Love the live side from the Glasgow Apollo!! So many great shows recorded there over the years.

Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Wow.

The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

Front cover of the self-titled debut from Rush (1974).

Had to dig this out tonight. Still my favourite Rush album!!

Still my favourite Jeff Beck record! And it’s a phenomenal *sounding* record, too! Just listened on headphones again the other night.

Agree 100%!!

Love the Island Records Basing Street studios gang…members of Traffic, Danny Thompson, Bobby Keyes, Richard Digby-Smith…
What a time!
