VL,

How is the Nautilus version?

Thanks,
AC

I'll have to listen to it again. Ever since I got the 45 rpm I haven't listened to it.

Klaatu Barada Nictu (sic)
At the time the rumor was that it was the Beatles incognito or some such.

Looks like it's more common than you thought

John Mayall
No More Interviews

There are a couple really nice songs on this album ("Falling" and "Take me Home Tonight"), but the rest is unremarkable.

There was a period where his albums were less than memorable. My interest in Mayall was revived with his 1989 album Chicago Line

Thanks, nothing you can do. I still have my TT, phone preamp and Carts you sold me. Can't let those go.
I'm regrouping in 2015 and look forward to building a new system.

I just ordered the Acoustech remastered version. It has great reviews on Acoustic Sounds. Fingers crossed.

Jimmy Buffett
You had to be There

Ok, no sonic perfection here. Just a compressed high energy performance. "God's own Drunk" and "Let's get Drunk..." are fantastic on this 2-album set.

All Music Review by Johnny Loftus
Jimmy Buffett's first live set established the treasure chest of gags and grooves that would make the singer impossibly successful over the next 20-plus years. As an easygoing, '70s-sounding Buffett says at the beginning of "Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit," "I've been wanting to do a live album for (a long time) since that's where we have the best time." And he proves to be a gracious, goofy host, straying into rambling tangents of conversation and storytelling that are at least (if not more) entertaining than the music itself. Musically, "Pencil Thin Moustache" becomes amped-up barroom boogie rock, complete with a honking harmonica. The Coral Reefer Band imbues "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" with the creaking charm of a comfortable deck chair; with Buffett's smiling vocal on top, it sounds better than an open bar tab at a Caribbean beach café. Later, Buffett introduces his biggest hit with some prescient banter. "People ask me, 'Where the hell is "Margaritaville"?'" He suggests that the famed, fictional island might be at the bottom of a Cuervo bottle before saying "It's anywhere you want it to be." And with that, Buffett launches into the song that caused a thousand unplanned sick days. While his big hits sound great, low-key acoustic numbers like "God's Own Drunk" and "Captain and the Kid" show off his songwriting and guitar playing while keeping things light with funny asides. Fans of Buffett's show will recognize You Had to be There as a prototype of his later summertime extravaganzas; for everyone, it's simply an entertaining live album from an era when the concert industry wasn't yet contaminated by greed, gold level seating, and rote performances.
