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…
Another side of Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
1964
Surprisingly few Dylan fans in the room, so this was chosen as a gentle introduction for non-believers.
Back to Mono 1958-1969

Phil Spector
1991
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
B.B. King
1967
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
Captain Beefheart
1972
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.”
