I was in Edinburgh on Saturday cruisin' the used vinyl shops and came across some interesting LPs. All mint condition original pressings(so I've been led to believe anyway), first up was Stanley Clarke - Rocks, Pebbles and sand - sounds like a precurser to his later 'Find out' album. Some pop songs with a 'rock' feel - very nice. Next came Brand X 'do they bite?' - the only album missing from my collection - I've long been a fan of percy jones and used to drool over the WAL basses in my local guitar shop (long before I discovered Alembic). It also features John Giblin whose work with Kate Bush is worth a listen.
I also came aaway with a fine copy of workingmans Dead and the jewel in the crown, Jerrys Solo recording 'Reflections' which features all of the early 70's dead line up except Pigpen. This is an album I hadn't ever heard so I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't just a 'Dead' album released under Jerrys name. The music has a much more 'country' feel and is a must for any jerry fans.
All in all, a very successful day out and only cost me ?6 each.
