Yeah. . . Mine's got the factory-yellow edges, too. At the tail end of the book, after the last sentence, there's actually an advertisement for a Bantam Paperbacks catalog. Like, on the same damn page. Jesus.
Just today I received John Lee Hooker Plays And Sings The Blues in the mail. It's good the first time through and I'm happy to own it (esp. for only $7.50 with shipping).
I still have Lowell Fulsom's Tramp Years down on my wish list...
Yeah, I'm glad you dig it. That record is something else. I wish Hooker could've stuck closer to that throughout his career. After he starts laying down tracks with a band, his catalog gets really spotty. And I don't even like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One beer," or his Canned Heat shit.
That Beefheart bootleg isn't so hot. Yeah, it's Bat Chain Puller live, but it's pretty much a note-for-note performance with a few adjustments, here and there. There's also some surface noise on the source tapes that gets in the way. Bummer. Now, at least, I know.
Looking to get some of his late 60's, early 70's work before the fucking holidays.
