Hands down my favorite studio album from Dandy Jim and the boys. Only a couple weak tracks here and most are fairly original and energetic compared to some of their studio stuff. Back Door Man was the closest they ever came to a hit and Fancy Nancy, Cryan' Shame and Let Life Be Good To You should have been big.

From 1976 here's Focus' Ship of Memories. A fairly good one from these guys since by a friend.

Always dug Roy and this album is a pretty tasty platter of his guitar licks.

Some early Genesis. From 1972 here's Foxtrot. This is the definitive remastered edition (or so says the cover of it). It's done in 320k.

links for out here by LOVE. in my opinion this has the the best version of "Signed D.C." the version on the 1st lp is shorter.

Here's the missing Gravy Train track.

And also from Bruce:
this is the band "ollie and the gogos' they were a band from penn. around 1966. they recorded one 45 and were a regional success. i am freinds with one of the band members and made him this cd. it has the single and all unrealesed. this cd has never seen the light of day other than a couple people. larry has had quite a long career in the music buisness with several hit songs and populare tv theme songs. freddy barnett played in a number of bands over the years. this is deffinity low fi. but it has that feel of a band trying to make way back when. the band did have a reunion last year playing several shows in the penn. area.

The Black Oak Arkansas album is great.
Have you got more of this stuff?
The link for missing track of Gravy train don´t works
I have every Black Oak release before 1977 except Keep the Faith and a few after (I'd Rather Be Sailing, Jim Dandy's solo Ready As Hell, and a couple others that don't come to mind).
Trevor--I think the Caravan was released in '76. Not 100% but pretty sure.
For the gravy train--copy the link all the way to the html. For some reason the link enabler wouldn't highlight the whole link.
Thanks muchly for the Caravan, an excellent album.
Trevor - The Caravan is a collection of tracks recorded for the BBC between 1970 - 74 and was released by Hux in 1998.
Thanks also for the Love, not heard that one and looking forward to it.
Cheers
Donno

Also recommended is their dvd 'Live at Royal Albert Hall', from '73/'74 when they supporting Sabbath if I'm not mistaken.
Greetings, Danny (not Dandy)
Don't mind at all Danny, in fact I appreciate it!! Saves me a rip!!! I will give that blog a glance right now.
Thanks Danny!
Another quote from Chairman Jim:
When you're feelin' down, tired & alone, keep on keepin' on!
(nothing earth shattering, just some good ol' down to earth good advice)
