Duane Allman - An Anthology: 7.5 (high B+)

# [best of]

Bill Laswell - Hear No Evil: 7 (B+)

# [experimental] Listened twice to the second disc on the reissue.

Prince Far I [the Arabs] - Crytuff Dub Encounter Chapter 1: 7.5 (high B+)

Best of the Cry Tuff series in my opinion. #import

Prince Far I – Cry Tuff Dub Encounter Chapter 3: liked

:-)

Arlo Guthrie - Running Down the Road: 7.5 (high B+)

# [folk]

Various Artists - Best of Studio One: 7.5 (high B+)

 

Not buying a various artist comp at B plus.

Steely & Clevie - Play Studio One Vintage: 7.5 (high B+)

Update (January 2026): Upped from liked on fourth play, almost half a decade later. #covers

Lil' Kim - Hard Core: 7.5 (high B+)

# [porno rap]

Dennis Brown - Love's Gotta Hold on Me: liked

:-)

Dennis Brown - The Best of the Joe Gibbs Years: 8.5 (high A-)

OOP and unavailable at other than ridiculous prices. I would buy Visions and Words of Wisdom separately, but the latter is way too expensive, and I don't feel right buying only one of the set. So, given the poor state of his catalog, I’ll end up with nothing. Couldn’t find any other comp that had a fair number of the Gibbs tracks. This is alot like not having the two great Justin Hines albums, but what can I do?

Bomba Estereo - Deja: 7.5 (high B+)

I think some places might be calling this "Agua"? Totally unavailable anyway.

Tom Ze - Vira Lata na Via Lactea: liked

:-)

Miles Davis - Bags Groove: liked

Too much vibraphone for my taste.

Gyedu-Blay Ambolley - Simigwa [honorable mention]

:-)

Korn - Follow the Leader: neutral

:-|

Joni Mitchell - Dog Eat Dog: liked

:-)

Miles Davis All Stars - Walkin': X (X)

Seems like it's one of the ones with the first great quintet, because of the title, but it's not. Those four I have in a nice box. #jazz

Halsey - Badlands: liked

Four plays

Gregory Isaacs - Out Deh! [honorable mention]

:-) [4 listens]

Nirvana - Live at Reading

 :-| [I'll keep it though because it's Nirvana.]

Terry Allen - Bottom of the World: liked

Listened three times in the days between starting to use streaming services and starting this blog.

Wolf Parade - Thin Mind: liked

Note to self: Guy 8 (A-)

This Kind of Punishment - In the Same Room [honorable mention]

:-)

Jimmy Cliff - Wonderful World, Beautiful People: 7 (B+)

Aka Jimmy Cliff. Never given a modern reissue, so I will stick with the majority of tracks from this that are represented on Classic Jimmy Cliff.

Shane MacGowan and the Popes - The Snake: 7.5 (high B+)

# [Celtic rock/punk] [But I have it and so will keep it.]
