Bought the remastered Led Zep IV and HOTH.  I am very pleased with both.  Bought the first 3 on CD.  They were not bad, but I like the vinyl better.

Thanks, the Flag is great Chicago Blues/Soul with Buddy Miles, Mike Bloomfield and Barry Goldberg and others. A classic.

This was released in 1968.  Although it wasn't promoted well, it's a good album with a great cut called The Killing Floor, about the war in Viet Nam.  Late in '69 the Allman Brothers released their first album.  It contained the original version of their biggest song Whipping Post.  It would be interesting to compare those two songs.  The first time I heard Whipping Post I assumed Greg Allman ripped off the tune from the Electric Flag.  Maybe it's a little different.  Still, an interesting comparison.  An artist can't help but be influenced by what he/she hears.

Neo,
Thanks.  I found the music on YouTube.  It looks like the price of copies is in the stratosphere!

I never heard Electric Flag play Whipping Post. What album was that on?

It's Killing Floor and Whipping Post.  Maybe it's not as close as I remembered (45 years ago).  Killing Floor is a straight up 12 bar blues.  Apparently Michael Bloomfield got it from Howlin Wolf (they played together).  Skip James recorded it before him.   Whipping Post is a little more complex but still blues and similar in some ways.  Check it out:

Good stuff. I have all of these versions in one form or another. I grew up in Chicago in the 60's & 70's. A great music scene in those days.

1973 Columbia

Keyboards – Josef Zawinul
Saxophones – Wayne Shorter
Bass - Miroslav Vitouš, Andrew White
English Horn – Andrew White
Drums – Herschel Dwellingham, Eric Gravatt
Moroccan Clay Drums, Roller Toy, Israeli Jar - Muruga Booker
Percussion & Wood Flute – Dom Um Romão

Great one by Weather Report transitioning from improvisational to a more arranged style like Heavy Weather and Mr Gone. 
Boogie factor extremely high.

"Whipping Post" on the double Allman Bros' Live at The Fillmore East lp is bad to the bone.  I happen to have it.  These guys could put the pedal to the metal.  Btw, the fact that it is a live recording and you are in the audience is made as clear as any rock lp I can remember.

Jazz Wax reissue  originally 1959 Mercury

Cannonball
Trane
Wynton Kelly
Paul Chambers
Jimmy Cobb

This is the Miles Davis band without Miles.  It looks like a live recording, but it was done in a studio.  This is a 180g DMM pressing and the SQ is good.  There is a little bit of crackly noise before the first 2 cuts, that stops when the music starts.  On other modern pressings this has gotten better with subsequent plays.  I think it has to do with de-burring the stamper, but I'm not sure about DMM pressings.  The vinyl is reasonably flat and overall I'm happy with the purchase. 
This was recorded around the same time as Kind of Blue.  It's more relaxed kind of session and there's great interplay between all players.  There's a bonus cut at the end which is a track w/o Trane recorded in NYC around the same time.
