Shades of Ray

1814303034_a6fe168f81.jpg

Ray Charles et les Raylettes.   Ray left Ahmet Ertegun’s R&B label in 1959 to join ABC-Paramount.   Some feel his work was never as raw and rockin’ again.     This nice French picture sleeve was contributed by Fred Siebert who, like Ahmet, has discriminating taste and continues to discover and promote new artists (now through sites such as Channel Frederator.com)

Har-you experienced?

Har-You Percussion Group on ORO Records (a subsidiary of ESP). Very rare pressing and the only LP by this Latin soul group led by master conga player Montego Joe as part of the the HARlem YOUth program of the 1960’s. Jackie McLean worked with the group at one point as well. A fantastic raw mix of funky bass, heavy drums, burning horn lines and soulful vocals. Considered one of the great Latin records of all-time.

All dolled up

butcher.jpg

Above is The Beatles “butcher cover” perhaps the most famous, strangest, rarest and most controversial album cover ever released (if only briefly) and from the world’s biggest band. Below is the 1966 recall letter from the publicity dept. at Capitol.
