Animal Tracks originally released 1965
Love Is concert quality sound
Animalisms 1966 Animals third album
Eric Burdon &The Animals Original Poster 1967
My Secret Life Burdon's voice is in fine shape, and he effortlessly jumps from soft spoken passages to his trademark blues grit that remains instantly recognizable from his days as vocalist of the Animals in the '60s. This newest CD (2004) consists of 13 tracks that form a loose song cycle revolving around Eric Burdon's love of American music, specifically R&B, soul, blues, and jazz. While that theme dominates the entire record it is especially true on the eight tunes penned or co-written by Burton
B.B.King
Blues Is King [MCA](1967) This is the sound which so captivated Michael Bloomfield, Eric Clapton and most of all, Peter Green.
The Ultimate Collection
"We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so. "..B.B. King
It's A Beautiful Day
It's a Beautiful Day(1969)
Their first self-titled album "It's a Beautiful Day" was very successful and included one of my all time favorite songs ""White Bird". His wife, Linda left the band after that first album and the truth is it was never the same.
Marrying Maiden(1970)
In 1970 they released the follow up album, "Marrying Maiden", very different than the first one, good sounds but not as psychedelic. The band made a few albums after that but each one was progressively worse than the last and the band was completely dissolved by 1974. David LaFlamme went on to a solo career.
Classical Violinist David LaFlamme was born in New Britain, CT, raised in Salt Lake City, UT. and moved to San Francisco after a brief stint in the Army. He jumped right into the underground music scene jamming with Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin; and starting his short lived "Electric Chamber Orchestra" then he co-founded an early "Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks "before assembling the terrific psychedelic folk-rock band "It's a Beautiful Day" . The band originally included LaFlamme's keyboardist wife Linda, vocalist Pattie Santos, guitarist Hal Wagenet, bassist Mitchell Holman, and drummer Val Fuentes.
Original Poster created for Sep 24, 1969 "Benefit to Save the Children"@Fillmore West. S.F. Artist: Eduardo Arderi
Happily David and Linda LaFlamme (David's second wife, also named Linda), along with original drummer Val Fuentes are again doing select performances, keeping alive a small piece of the San Francisco music sound of the late 1960's.
Big Brother and the Holding Company
Big Brother And The Holding Company [EXTRA TRACKS](1967)
The album that introduced the world to this top San Franciso band which was fronted by young Janis Joplin.
Cheap Thrills (Exp) (1968)
If you buy this you will know why those who were lucky to be there have never stopped talking about it.
Festival Express DVD 1970 On the bus-a real trip!
"Big Brother is doing great and I just may get to be a star someday..." Janis, in a 1967 letter to her mother.Janis Joplin
The Beatles
Rubber Soul (1965)The Beatles have gone beyond just mere pop stars in this album.
Revolver(1966) This is truly some classic material here.
Magical Mystery Tour (1967) One of the most creative albums of all time.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) After 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time.
The Yellow Submarine (1967)Newly REMASTERED(1999) Different from the original but still worth having if you are a fan as I am.
The Beatles (The White Album) (1968) The 'White Album' is a masterpiece and it stills ranks as The Beatles' most incredible work.
Abbey Road (1969)The last album by The Greatest Musical Act of The Century."As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead."...George Harrison

 Yellow Submarine DVD A refurbishment of the original feature with a meticulously reconstructed stereo mix that refines the legendary original album version. |
Blue Cheer
Vincebus Eruptum 1968
With this album, their first and best,the Blue Cheer trio demonstrated their ear-shattering reputation with raw guitars played through overload amps, and a rhythm section that was savage and wild coupled with badly burned-out vocals, all fuelled by unkempt psychedelia.
Named after a potent batch of LSD, Blue Cheer originally formed as a six piece band , then slimmed down to be a power trio.
Original Poster
They were a favorite band of the Hell's Angels,in fact, their first manager was an ex-Hells Angel of good standing.....Dave Gedge
Their original Heavy Metal, psychedelia sound was not like anything anyone had ever heard before but in fighting caused them to split up in 1971.Although the band were reformed in 1984 by Dickie Peterson (bass and vocals) with different musicians, it was never the same."Michael Anthony from Van Halen said.
Blood Sweat & Tears
Child Is Father To The Man (1968)
Refugees of the late 60's will have it.
Blood Sweat & Tears - Greatest Hits
In New York City in 1967, Al Kooper, Jim Fielder, Fred Lipsius,Randy Brecker, Jerry Weiss, Dick Halligan, Steve Katz, and Bobby Colomby formed the original incarnation of the band, which was named after a 1963 album by Johnny Cash.
No late-'60s American group started with as much musical promise as Blood, Sweat & Tears, or realized their potential more fully -- and then blew it all in a series of internal conflicts and grotesque career moves.
Paul Butterfields Blues Band (1965) You didn't need to smoke anything before listening to this album in order to get high.
East-West (1966) Bloomfield is brilliant and Butterfield is on fire."I hope this record sells - I'm definitely tired of sliding through life on my good looks"...Elvin Bishop
Buffalo Springfield (1966)Although the Byrds receive more credit (and perhaps rightfully so), Buffalo Springfield, in some respects, were just as responsible for the country-rock and singer/songwriter explosion that continued through the full flight of the Eagles and later mutated into '90s neo-country.
Buffalo Springfield Again (1967)
Last Time Around (1968) A final gem from one of the most creative bands of the 60's.
"Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid. You step out of line, the man come and take you away."
...Buffalo Springfield
"There's something happening here/What it is ain't exactly clear."...Steve Still

Turn! Turn! Turn! [Remaster] 0riginally released in 1966.
A time for love, a time for hate, a time for peace, I swear it's not too late.
Fifth Dimension
Younger Than Yesterday (Remastered) It's 1967, and the Byrds are in the process of breaking up. Bands under tension either produce their best or their worst album. In this case it's become an absolute winner.
"How did I decide to form the Byrds? I saw the Beatles, that's why"... Roger McGuinn

The Chambers Brothers- Greatest Hits
The Time Has Come
I was 23 & knew nothing about the business only that we could sing and loved it onstage. We went 22 years without receiving a dime from Columbia even though "Time Has Come Today" was used in 30 films,TV,and overseas sales, etc....Lester Chambers
Judy Collins
In My Life (1966) Judy Collins extraordinary passion for music and song, and her long held commitments to such causes as UNICEF for children world-wide, women's issues, civil rights, and non-violence have made her a spokesperson not just for this country, but for all human kind. This is one of her most popular albums and a personal favorite of mine.
Who Knows Where the Time Goes (1968)
Forever: An Anthology This CD is the culmination of a golden career that goes back 35 years. Included in the 2 disc, 35 song collection are all of Judy's favorites...the ones she loves.
"I've gone through many, many things. I tell you something, that if it doesn't kill you, you get stronger. There is never a guarantee that it won't kill you. Because I think I've gone through the single most difficult thing that a person can survive."... Judy Collins
John Coltrane
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnage Hall In January, 2005, a Library of Congress researcher found a musical treasure tucked in a cardboard box -- a "lost" recording by Coltrane and Monk made in 1957. Released in September 27th, 2005, by Blue Note Records, in conjunction with Thelonious Records, this is the only full-length professional recording known to exist of a remarkable piece of jazz history and it is essential listening for all Monk and Coltrane fans.
A Love Supreme(Remaster) (1965) Seemed strange to some jazz purists, but which it sure did capture more adventurous listeners and rock fellow travelers such as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and the Byrds.
Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser
All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws...John Coltrane

Cream
Disraeli Gears Formed 1966 in London, England. Disbanded 1968. During its relatively short lifespan, Cream revolutionized rock 'n' roll.

Credence Clearwater

Green River (1969) No rock collection would be complete without this album.
Willy and the Poor Boys(1969)
"Fortunate Son," Fogerty's most ferocious political rant.
Cosmo's Factory (Fantasy) (1970) One of rock's greatest moments.
"We play rock'n'roll. We don't go any deeper than that"... John Fogerty
Credence Clearwater Revival (October 2, 2001)
6 CDs Box Set
Crosby, Stills, and Nash
Crosby, Stills & Nash (1st album 1969) Although they seemed like a simple gathering of friends, they really a summit meeting of cool hippie-rock aristocracy. David Crosby was a refugee from the Byrds, Stephen Stills had been part of the short-lived, fractious Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash had been a member of the harmony-driven British band the Hollies. They delivered a made-in-California sound that blended rock, country, folk, psychedelic, and plain old pop influences. Classic rock.
Deja Vu [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
4 Way Street 1971 an indispensible part of any collection.
"Thank you, we needed that. This is the second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared shitless."...Stephen Stills at Woodstock
Miles Davis
Kind of Blue (1956) Yea, I know it's earlier than the sixties but how can I mention Miles and not include my very favorites.
Sketches in Spain (1960) Everyone should have this album.
Bitches Brew (1969) Even chemically free it's still "Mind Blowin ".
"I'll play it first and tell you what it is later"...Miles Davis
Derek and the Dominos
Layla and other assorted Love Songs(1970) Layla stands as one of a handful of pillars of classic rock. The short-lived ensemble that was the Dominos provided an outlet for Eric Clapton to vent his then unrequited (and secret) passion for the wife of his best friend, George Harrison
Dylan
Bringing It All Back Home (1965) I pity anyone who has never been turned on to Dylan, or this album.
Highway 61 Revisited (1965) This is one of Dylan's best albums.
Blonde On Blonde (1966) Blonde is Blonde is one of those few albums that actually bring you to another place while you listen to it.John Wesley Harding (1968) A quiet, reflective Dylan penned these songs following his disastrous motorcycle accident.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." ...Dylan
"I can't tell you why other people write, but I write in order to keep my head from going insane"...Dylan (1963)
Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back DVD Three decades since its initial theatrical run, Pennebaker's legendary film returns to the screen offering a behind-the-scenes account of a young Bob Dylan. This is a rare opportunity for a new generation to experience the making of a legend whose imperfect voice and soulful images had the power to transfix an audience of thousands.
Shot during Dylan's spring 1965 tour of England, which culminates in two concerts at London's Royal Hall, DONT LOOK BACK captures the 23-year-old Bob Dylan, (born Robert Zimmerman), as an enigmatic combination of ultimate performer and restless individual -- a man who refuses to acknowledge or accept the labels put on either himself or his music.
