PLANET ROCK

Mr X's rock site for unusual and different rock shares

STICKY POST

Planet Rock

Well I've decided to focus on rock music shares here. I realise this is a crowded blog field so the challenge will be to feature stuff that's different and no one else is sharing. So keep watching and we'll see what will eventuate.

Xtabays World now here:Xtabays World

The Ship





Here's a nice album from 1972 on Elektra. Sounding like a combination of Crosby Stills and Nash and America this is a melodic album with good playing and harmonies telling the tale of a trip in a ship. Yes folks its a concept album. Ripped at 192 kps from good quality vinyl.

Jimmy Page and his 'eavy friends



Here's a double CD set featuring the early work of Jimmy Page and he did have some heavy friends. Thanks to whoever supplied this originally, where I got it from has disappeared in the mists of time. I do have a double CD bootleg of his session work but this is much better quality.

This comes with high quality artwork. Enjoy.

Cream Live Bootleg



There was a thread on The Groovy Fab Forum as to the best guitarist in the Yardbirds. They had three of the best ever Page, Beck and Clapton. My vote was for good old slowhand and here's proof. Just listen to the first track Crossroads one of the best blues guitar efforts ever. Clapton is at his best live as this set proves. This is of the best quality and sounds as good as the official live album.

Ambrosia



Here's my first exclusive post to this blog Ambrosia's very fine second album Somewhere I've Never Travelled. From my own LP rip this is an Alan Parson's produced extravaganza. Dating from 1976 the production values are out of this world and if you like Yes, Kansas etc you'll love this.

Exotica shares still active<br/>

Well Blogger sucks but its popular so I'm gonna post here and to my mirror site Xtabays World . Shares will be posted to Xtabays World first so check there often.

If Blogger's down go to Xtabays World. I might post some different stuff there as well just to keep things interesting. I'm still not happy with Blogger its still very dodgy and slow. I'm not the only one I think Hans is on the verge of chucking it in again due to blogger and trolls. Maybe Blogger is a victim of its own popularity, I guess there's a limit on how many blogs can be published before everything goes haywire.


I'm going to post a list of all my active shares but its taking a while to sort them out. This is the first instalment - all my Exotica shares still current:

Les and 101 Strings<br/>



Here's an album I posted back in the ancient days of Planet Xtabay just after it had dragged itself from the primordial ooze of Blogdom. Its a compilation I made of Les' stuff he recorded with 101 Strings and there's some worthwhile tracks here. This was very popular at the time and I'm sure there's a new batch of people who will find this an interesting download. The cover picture is for decoration purposes only.

Zounds II<br/>



Here's the 'other' Zounds What Sounds courtesy of Bellybongo who no longer has it available. Not as essential as the other one in my opinion but still pretty interesting. See what you think.
