MP3/320Kbs/213MB
Progressive Jazz Rock

Dutch band Mr. Albert Show, apparently named after a roadie, was formed in 1969 by Bertus Borgers (saxophone, flute, vocals), Roeland Boogaart (drums), Tom Fautubun (bass), Eric Lintermans (guitars) and Bonki Bongaerts (organ). Strengthened by the vocal talents of Floortje Klomp they make their debut with the single "Wild Sensation" in 1970, followed by their full length debut album "Mr. Albert Show" later the same year. The following their sophomore effort "Warm Motor" appeared, while the non-album single "Show Me Your Tongue" was released in support of it.
This would prove to be the final release by this short-lived band, who disbanded in 1973 following the departure of Bertus Borgers.

Psychedelic and Progressive Rock


Waiters On The Dance is a music album by Julian Jay Savarin, released in 1971. It is a science fiction concept album that shares its title with the first novel of Savarin's Lemmus trilogy, which also serves as the basis for the two concept albums by the musical group Julian's Treatment. The album features Julian Jay Savarin as the main artist, with John Dover on bass, Nigel Jenkins on guitar, Roger Odell on drums, and Jo Meek on vocals. It is noted for its heavy and aggressive sound, with Mellotron and cosmic organ playing significant roles in the music. The album is considered an excellent piece of psychedelic and progressive rock. 
Julian Jay Savarin, born in Dominica and moved to Great Britain in 1962, is known for his work as a musician, songwriter, poet, and science fiction author. He was the organist and main songwriter of Julian's Treatment, a group that recorded two albums, "A Time Before This" 1970 and "Waiters on the Dance" 1971.

Doctor Feelgood - Something To Take Up Time (1971/2007) FootPrint Records - FPR 29016

 

MP3/320Kbs/105MB
Progressive/Blues/Jazz Rock

Not to be confused with Dr. Feelgood, the UK pub-rock group, this is an LP by Doctor Feelgood, an unrelated American outfit specializing in moody, heavy blues-rock and obscurity. That band's lone 1971 LP, which features strong psychedelic blues-rock in the spirit of early Tull, and a woodwind player clearly influenced by both Ian Anderson and free-jazz, is long out of print on vinyl and long sought after by serious heads. (lpcdreissues) I can only recommend it! 

Tracks:
01. Number Ten 2:45
02. The Roach Did It 3:02
03. Smoke Dream 8:48
04. Mr. Bojangles 2:32
05. Medicine Man 4:03
06. Nasal Greens And Toe Jam 3:08
07. Hey Gyp 5:12
08. 5 XR.V.W 6:04
09. Something To Take Up Time 7:35
10. Junk 5:27

Personnel:
Dick Winters - vocals, flute, tenor, baritone & soprano saxophones, maracas
Paul Rivers - electric & acoustic guitar
Bill Corelle - bass, cowbell
Ralph Cooper - drums, congas, maracas
