Crimson Testure Symposium
A Young Person’s Guide to King Crimson is a compilation, 2LP set, released in 1976. The songs were selected by and quoted as “personal favorites” of Robert Fripp. The cover is in good shape and both LP’s are in excellent condition.
Notable Tracks:
- “Epitaph”
- “I talk to the Wind”
- “Moonchild”
- “The Court of the Crimson King”
Released in 1988 on the full length album, VIVIsectVI, “Testure” received a 12″ single release on red vinyl shortly after its controversial music video release. The name is said to be a combination of “testing” and “torture” as its lyrics demonize government animal testing, with graphic images shown in the music video. Side B includes the tracks “The Second Opinion” and “Serpents”. Cover and vinyl are both in great condition.
In spite of the title, this album does NOT contain any poetry. Melvin Stewart does provide narration in “Scenes from the city”, however there is no other spoken word on the album. Those who enjoy Mingus’ Mingus Ah Um album will recognize “Slippers” as it forms the basis of “Open Letter to Duke”. This copy is sealed.
Personnel:
- Jimmy Knepper – Trombone
- Shafi Hadi – Tenor and Alto Sax
- Bill Hardman – Trumpet
- Clarence Shaw – Trumpet
- Dannie Richmond – Drums
- Horace Parlan – Piano
- Bob Hammer – Piano

Thank you Monk for once again re-releasing one of the best blues recording artists in 12″ format. When 75% of the song titles have the word Blues in them, you know you are doing right!

“All Rights Up Your Butt”
A great compilation of works by the late, great, John Lee Hooker. Side A consists of recordings from Detroit via 1949-1950, side B via 1954 (5 songs per side). “Let Your Daddy Ride” and “Good Rockin’ Mama” make this European import a must have. Printed in 2010 on Doxy.
The inner sleeve says it best….
“…..Some of this music is in the movie. Some of this music is not in the movie…Some of the music that’s in the movie is not in the album. Some of the music that was written for the movie is not in the movie or the album. ….Some of the situations described in the song texts are real. Some of them are not so real….”
Composed and orchestrated by Frank Zappa. Performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Slim Pogues
Released in 1973 on Acrobat Records, Soul Blues is a late release for Memphis Slim (aka John Len Chatman) who began slamming keys and singing the blues in honky-tonks and dance halls in Memphis in the 1930’s. While his art certainly grew over his 50+ years of playing, he stayed true to jump-blues on this later release, pounding away on the keys in his notorious style. Tracks of note include “Cold Blooded Woman” and “Big Bertha”. This is an original pressing and the vinyl is in great shape with slight wear on the cover.
Known for their Irish folk/Punk Rock hybrid stylings, The Pogues introduced Spanish and Middle Eastern Folk along with Jazz influences on their 1988 release, If I Should Fall From Grace With God. The utilization of a full drum kit for the first time, as well as the addition of multi-instrumentalist Terry Woods and bassist Darryl Hunt to the group, make this a landmark album for The Pogues. Staying true to their political activism, heard in the lyrics of many of their songs, this release is loaded with legendary ballads like, “Thousands Are Sailing” and “Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six”. This is an original pressing with both the vinyl and cover in great condition.
