(PAUL REVERE & THE) RAIDERS – Collage – (Columbia) – 1970
The Raiders had been struggling for the previous two years to distance themselves from their earlier incarnation, Paul Revere and the Raiders. There was nothing wrong with that, and they were a hell of a band, but they felt that … Continue reading
SHAWN PHILLIPS – Second Contribution – (A&M) – 1970
I always feel a little dirty when I listen to hippie music, though I'm not sure what hippie music is. I like Melanie, Brewer & Shipley, Simon & Garfunkel, The Youngbloods, Jefferson Airplane, The Turtles, Donovan, Country Joe, Arlo Guthrie … Continue reading

DAVID ACKLES – Subway to the City – (Elektra) – 1970
If I didn't already know who Ackles was (I have "American Gothic" (1972) and I commented on "Five & Dime"(1973) back in "what Frank is listening to #91" ) I would still have picked this album up as it's on the Elektra … Continue reading
