1972 - Neil Young - Harvest (50th Anniversary Edition)
1972 - Neil Young - Harvest (50th Anniversary Edition) @320
Produced by Elliot Mazer and originally released in February 1972, Neil Young’s Harvest album has become one of his best loved projects. It topped the Billboard Top 200 chart for two weeks and produced a number one single “Heart of Gold”—Young’s solitary U.S. chart-topping single. Following the end of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1970, he employed a group of session country musicians to record Harvest with, which he dubbed The Stray Gators.
Available on vinyl and CD formats, this 50th Anniversary bundle is an absolute treat for Neil Young admirers. Along with the original record, it includes the previously unseen movies—Harvest Time and the 1971 BBC live performance—along with three studio outtake tracks (“Bad Fog of Loneliness,” “Journey Through the Past,” “Dance Dance Dance”) and a hard-bound book with liner notes from photographer Joel Bernstein. The vinyl version also includes a lithograph print.
The album consists of some unusual changes of direction away from the sessions at the ranch. “Needle and the Damage Done”—a plea to his friends and Crazy Horse bandmate Danny Whitten about the obliterating effect of heroin—was recorded the previous year at a live performance at UCLA. “A Man Needs a Maid” and “There’s a World” were recorded by Nitzsche with the London Symphony Orchestra at Barking Assembly Hall in the UK. You can see from the film footage that this process with the orchestra was at times a tense and uneasy one, with Young yearning to get back to those playful, joyous, and almost innocent days at Broken Arrow. Despite Young’s sometimes awkward, equipment-fumbling, endearing interludes during the BBC concert footage, his version of “Don’t Let it Get You Down” here is jaw-dropping.
Harvest was recorded during a seemingly settled period of Young’s life, with much of its music inspired by his loving relationship with the late actress Carrie Snodgress. Young manages to bring in the likes of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and old band pals Crosby, Stills & Nash in such a subtle and unobtrusive way. It remains a sonic blend of love, melancholy, mortality, and vulnerability. Harvest is an album to be truly celebrated and this half-century edition is a fitting tribute (Under the Radar)

2024 - Texas & Spooner Oldham - The Muscle Shoals Sessions
2024 - Texas & Spooner Oldham -
The Muscle Shoals Sessions (Flac)
The Muscle Shoals Sessions (Flac)
Listening now to Texas’ career-spanning Very Best Of 1989-2023 compilation from last year, it’s evident that this successful Scottish band with Sharleen Spiteri at its helm has always had a fad-free no-nonsense and timeless soul/blues authenticity at their heart, something likely the key to their longevity and ability to fill arenas. For this latest album, after all, Texas went to the Fame Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals to refine – as opposed to define – their songs, with the help of producer, keyboardist and Southern soul heavyweight Spooner Oldham.
This guy’s CV includes playing on Aretha Franklin albums, co-writing credits with Dan Penn, and if that wasn’t quite enough to shout about, Oldham has also worked with both Neil Young and Bob Dylan. As for The Muscle Shoals Sessions? Of the 12 Texas songs deconstructed in Fame, I Don’t Want A Lover, In Our Lifetime and a superb cover of Charles & Eddie’s Would I Lie To You are more than enough to show that Texas and Spooner Oldham is a combination which fits like a glove.

Vibes news
* Ok I am taking some time out, Vibes will continue, we are not closing or going private. I want to think about how and what I share here in the future. I think from now on it will be one post per day, when I restart posting next Monday (except for Mondays) with Box Of Vibes and the Jungle with a ReggaeRagga Edge series. If people take the time to thank here, then I could increase the number of posts, as long as the comments increase, if they drop again then so will the amount of posts from me will also drop. Andy, Concha and leeds (he will be returning to Vibes soon, was talking to him this morning, hopes to be back June time), are free to make as many or as little posts as they wish, nobody makes them post, they are free to do as they want. The choice is theirs in what bitrate they post (will always state it on the post), what format mp3, flac or wav. And the choice of music is their selection, whatever genre they wish. *
* The only rule in place at Vibes is we now have a no re up policy for all posts, so don't ask. (regular commentors read further down) *
* I am going to think about the comments settings and as you don't seem to want to say thanks and add your name to anonymous comments, do we turn comments off completely (staff only able to comment), or google accounts only, or all and leave anonymous comments open. What ever happens comments here will always be monitored and will have to be approved. *
* Then there is the links in my posts, as they were for all to grab, or password protected (each post would have an individual password), or you have to request links, either via comments or email, this will depend on what I decide with the comment settings. And maybe all my links will be limited to 7 or 14 days only. In the future they won't be for 3 months that's for sure. I will continue only with 320 posts, I won't ever post flac or wav here on an open site. All my links have been removed so please don't report dead links, the only links of mine that are still active are the Box Of Vibes and Jungle with a ReggaeRagga Edge series. *
* Regular commentors will still be able (depending on the system of the comments, here on Vibes) to request re up's of posts or request albums, but this may have to be via the site email. This will all become clear. *
* The strange thing, comments dropped again but downloads and visits to the site increased. *
* Any anonymous comment without a name added, will not be answered in the future. We are grateful for your thanks & comment, but without a name then no reply. *
* For the time being the comments is open to all, subject to approval. *
* This post is now closed to comments, as most of the decisions have been made. So come back on Monday when I will post, what is going to happen.*
Various - Box Of Vibes No. 31 (A-C-R) (2026) 320
* Box Of Vibes No.31, starts with the first 8 tracks supplied by Andy, then tracks 9 to 16 are from Concha, and I (Reb) close the box with my selections from 17 to 24. It's the normal mix of music from many genres & decades, including alternative and cover versions. *
* Please feel free to post your thoughts on this home made comp, positive or negative, fed back is good to hear. *

Bill Laswell – Lost Remixes 4 (2020) 320

2023 - Herman Chin Loy - Musicism Dub
2023 - Herman Chin Loy - Musicism Dub @320
Dub producer Herman Chin Loy who was one of the pioneers of the style in the early 70s, and this reissue of two formerly unnammed and mislabeled, all but lost LPs - now combined to make up a compilation known as Musicism Dub - perfectly captures the earliest incarnation of the sound. 'Musicism' is a good term to describe the spectacular character of Loy's dub. Dub as a genre itself has been at times described as one of the first popular music styles to use the sound of the beat as a point of intrigue in itself, rather than relying solely on melodies or lyrics. The Chin Loy sound flaunted here is as indicative of this approach, though it is also staunchly rooted in the vintage style of analog production, with the likes of 'Armagideon War' and 'Don't Fight The Man' nailing that undeniably early chillout sound: nicely-glued lows and spitty tops.
