With our partners off out to a 50’s event at the National Media Museum we had a little impromptu record club, and since we were left holding the baby, used that as the theme.

From the selection of records we brought along we listened to:

• Another side of Bob Dylan
• Phil Spector – 1958-1969 [Box set]
• B.B. King – From the Beginning
• Captain Beafheart – Spotlight Kid

…not necessarily in that order…

Records:

Another side of Bob Dylan

Artist:

Bob Dylan

Year:

1964

Event:

Let’s try Record Club

Surprisingly few Dylan fans in the room, so this was chosen as a gentle introduction for non-believers.

Back to Mono 1958-1969

Artist:

Phil Spector

Year:

1991

Be my baby

This is a box set that Dave picked up in his early 20’s, discovering the joy of the ‘wall of sound’.

From the beginning

Artist:

B.B. King

Year:

1967

Event:

Let’s try Record Club

Just a great album. Started the debate about double albums and box sets, so we only played one of the two discs.

The Spotlight Kid

Artist:

Captain Beefheart

Year:

1972

Event:

Let’s try Record Club

An album to introduce others to the magic of Captain Beefheart?

Dave says: “I was really pleased to hear ‘Click Clack’, a track that I’ve come to love thanks to John Peel.”
