And many thanks, @Yer Ol' Uncle D. Always love to listen to your recs. This is a band I've heard of but have not heard, so it's an exciting addition.

As for the cryptic clue, these guys are from Allentown. It's on The Nylon Curtain and that's BJs pic from the back cover.

Belter of a choice. Woo!

April bonus winner records shipped out. One is going to the UK so it might be a minute before they're all in hand.

I'll draw the May winners in a couple weeks.

Late to the game so added all recent recs to the queue!

Two bonus records landed today. One is in London. Should hit @jt4527 in the next day or two I reckon.

 

[jt4527]

Yep, not far to go from London now

Looks like everything has reached its final destination.

VMD Mach II Vol 7 Bonus Record

I have no idea what to expect with this, completely new to me!

Hopefully my cat will decide to sleep somewhere other than right next to my speakers and I can have a listen today

So, I managed to have a listen to the record yesterday, and I have to say I enjoyed it very much. It took me a while to place it, but I guess it reminded me most of CCR, but not quite as "Southern"? He has a strong voice which sounds great, and the music is good. I held off on reading about Bobby Whitlock until I had started listening (didn't want to spoiler myself ) and I see he worked a fair bit with Eric Clapton (and was in Derek and the Dominoes) so clearly, his chops are good.

So, good record, and awesome kindness and generosity from @Yer Ol' Uncle D

Alright - I've selected the May record.

Thanks to @D Jilla, @marshall and @gcowgill for sharing their collections so quickly. Hope y'all dig it.

This month's cryptic clue...

Ooh, how enticing!

My first thought was .
And Reed once put this at the top of his list of the best records of all time.

Whatever you've got up your sleeve, @Yer Ol' Uncle D, I can't wait. Thanks so much for your ridiculous generosity.

Laurie Anderson - Big Science is what came to mind for me. O Superman is famous for being a two chord song. And Laurie was of course Lou’s wife.

Bonus clue...

 

[gcowgill]

Squeezing out another clue, I see.

Always thought of the Ramones when I read this quote. Johnny put that notion to bed though.

May records shipping out this week. Will draw for June around 5-15.

Just like the first post to get in on this mess.
