John Lennon, Rock ‘n’ Roll, 1981 on MFP/Parlophone

Originally released in the US and UK on Apple Records in 1975, these recordings were made at A&M studios (LA) in late 1973 and the Power Plant in New York in late 1974, during Lennon's so called "lost weekend" where he was separated from Yoko Ono and doing a fair amount of drinking and drugs. These are all covers from the 50s and 60s, including Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me" which Lennon copped from for "Come Together." Phil Spector produced the LA sessions but not the New York ones.

Sounds fantastic!

Mose Allison, Mose Allison Sings, 1963 on Prestige

Compilation of tracks from Allison's first albums which had been released on Prestige between 1957 and 1959. Though he was first known as a pianist, he gradually sang more and more.
