Gaz's Rockin' Blues - Various. CD.
(Label: Ace Records, Cat.No: CDCHD 1071)

Click for large image A compilation of the very best tunes spun at the legendary London nightspot owned and managed by John Mayall's eldest son Gaz Mayall, who is probably (after his father) the UK's leading authority on blues as we know it. The club opened in 1980 and still offers the best in rock and blues into the 21st century- thus, the first 14 tracks on this disc comprise the club's first compilation album from 1981, and the remaining 14 are newies again selected by Gaz himself. Eleven of the overall tracks have never appeared on CD anywhere before, including John Lee Hooker's 'Shake, Holler and Run', and the whole fascinating story is told in Gaz's lavishly illustrated sleevenotes.

Jamnation - Various. CD.
(Label: , Cat.No: MVT 20051)

Dan McGuire add spoken word to this heavy psychedelic music making this quite a unique release as the music serves as a background score for a spoken word soundtrack reminiscent of beat generation poets. This is a limited edition and won't be around long. Housed in a digi pack.

What's Shakin' - Various. CD.
(Label: Collectors Choice, Cat.No: CCM0622)

Click for large image CD re-issue of this legendary 1966 rarities compilation, and it boasted a couple of big-name artists, the Lovin Spoonful and Eric Clapton, who were not known for their association with the label. The Lovin Spoonful tracks stem from the bands almost having signed with the label; Jac Holzman states in the notes that it was John Sebastian's way of making amends, and these four tracks-'Good Time Music' 'Almost Grown' 'Don't Bank on It Baby', and 'Searchin'-were never recorded by the band, not even in different versions. The Clapton tracks, meanwhile, feature him with Powerhouse, a supergroup composed of Jack Bruce, Stevie Winwood and Manfred Mann lead singer Paul Jones; produced by Joe Boyd, the tracks are 'I Want to Know; Crossroads', and 'Steppin Out'. Five Paul Butterfield Blues Band tracks appear here from their ill-fated debut recording session for Elektra: 'Lovin Cup; Good Morning Little Schoolgirl; Spoonful', and two that appear nowhere else, 'Off the Wall' and 'One More Mile'. Tom Rush's 'I'm in Love Again' is an outtake from his 1966 LP 'Take a Little Walk with Me', and Al Kooper's 'I Cant Keep from Crying Sometimes' is something of a rehearsal for the later, fuller Blues Project version.

Rolling Stones - Satisfaction- Covers & Cookies Of The Rolling Stones (Variou. Dble CD.
(Label: Harmless, Cat.No: HURTCD062)

Click for large image Double CD set of unusual Stones covers, leaning toward the soul and funk genre and featuring a variety of artists one wouldn't necessarily associate with the Stones, but who all share some musical kinship with them (The Meters, Herbie Mann, Ruth Copeland, PP Arnold, Rotary Connection, The Staple Singers and even Ananda Shankar. There's also the by-now-legendary (and oft compiled, but here it is again) version of "Gimme Shelter" laid down by Merry Clayton, who sang on the original, and Muddy Waters running through "Let's Spend The Night Together" - the influence coming full circle. CD2 is a "4 Hero Mix"- a continuous dance mix with a Strolling Bones theme. Should get those Hoxton parties going nicely. . . .
