The Rolling Stones / Let It Bleed (US, London Records, NPS-4) <December 5, 1969>
The Rolling Stones / Let It Bleed (US, London Records, NPS-4) <December 5, 1969> (SIDE ONE) XZAL-9363-2 (SIDE TWO) XZAL-9364-2 "Let It Bleed" is the eighth British and tenth American studio album by English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in December 1969 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States. Released shortly after the band's 1969 American Tour, it is the follow-up to 1968's Beggars Banquet. The album was recorded during a period of turmoil in the band, as Brian Jones, the band's founder and original leader, had become increasingly unreliable in the studio due to heavy drug use, and during most recording sessions was either absent, or so incapacitated that he was unable to contribute meaningfully. He was fired in the midst of recording sessions for this album, and replaced by Mick Taylor. Jones appeared on this album on only two songs, playing backing instruments, and would die within a month of being fired. Taylor had been hired after principal recording was complete on many of the tracks and appears on only two of the tracks as well, having recorded some guitar overdubs. As such, Keith Richards was the band's sole guitarist during most of the recording sessions; being responsible for nearly all of the rhythm and lead parts. The rest of the Stones, Mick Jagger (lead vocals), Bill Wyman (bass guitar), and Charlie Watts (drums) appear on nearly every track, and significant additional contributions were made by percussionist Jimmy Miller (who also produced the album), keyboardists Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart, and numerous other guest musicians. The album charted as a top-ten album in several markets, including reaching number one in the UK and number three in the US. While no highly-charting singles were released from the album, many of the album's songs became staples in Rolling Stones shows and on rock radio stations for decades to come, including two gospel-infused songs "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want", both of which ranked highly on retrospective "best ever" songs lists, including 2004's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" by Rolling Stone magazine. 1968年12月6日に発表された大傑作"Beggars Banquet"に続く作品で、ちょうど一年後の1969年12月5日に発表されました。USプロモ盤をこれまで3枚確認しましたが、いずれもマトリクスは同じでした。白ラベルを含め、プロモーション用のラベルは存在しないようです。3枚とも、ジャケには小さなプロモーション用のシールが貼られていました。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbmS3tQJ7Os

Mary Black / No Frontiers (Ireland, Dara Records, DARA 032) <1989>
Mary Black / No Frontiers (Ireland, Dara Records, DARA 032) <1989> (SIDE 1) DARA-032 A2 -DMM- PR-P (SIDE 2) DARA-032 B1 SR2 "No Frontiers" is an album by Irish singer Mary Black. The album was one of Ireland's best selling albums of 1989 and introduced her to audiences elsewhere in Europe and in the United States and Japan.The album spent 56 weeks in the Irish Top 30. アイルランドの歌姫、メアリー・ブラックの5作目。フォーク・ミュージックとポップ・ミュージックの絶妙な混ざり具合が素敵な名盤で、最高傑作とされています。DARAからのオリジナル・レコは海外でも1万円以上で取引される人気盤です。通常盤と思って購入したらプロモ盤が届き驚喜しました(もちろん本来は1万では絶対に買えません)。 当時、この音楽が兄貴の部屋から流れて来たこと、このジャケのポスターが貼られていたことを思い出します。当時ジミヘンやZEPPなどを聴いていた僕には「イマイチ」に感じられました。1990年に近所(京都の拾得だったか磔磔だったか)に来ていたのに、行かなかったことが今でも悔やまれます。 そういえば公演に行ってどうだったか、兄貴に訊いたことなかったです。こんど確認してみようかな。 http://www.mplant.com/mary/bio.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4T0LM_L448 アイリッシュ・アコーディオン?のイントロからして引き込まれる「I Say A Little Prayer(小さな願い)」は、あのバカラック・デヴィッド・ワーウィックの名録音よりも好きです。

Queen / A Night At The Opera (Elektra, 7E-1053) <November 21, 1975> MAT ; A-4 / B-3
Queen / A Night At The Opera (Elektra, 7E-1053) <November 21, 1975> MAT ; A-4 / B-3 クイーンの4作目。後追いで、1986年頃に知りました。30年以上聴き続けて、まだ飽きません。 "A Night at the Opera" is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 21 November 1975 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, it was reportedly the most expensive album ever recorded at the time of its release. The album's title is taken from the Marx Brothers film of the same name. The album was recorded at various studios across a four-month period in 1975. Due to management issues, Queen received almost none of the money they earned for their previous albums. Subsequently, they ended their contract with Trident Studios and did not use their studios for their album (with the sole exception being "God Save the Queen", which was recorded the previous year). They employed a complex production that extensively used multitrack recording, and the songs incorporated a wide range of styles, such as ballads, music hall, dixieland, hard rock and progressive rock influences. Aside from their usual equipment, Queen also utilised a diverse range of instruments such as a double bass, harp, ukulele and more. Upon release, the album topped the UK Albums Chart for four non-consecutive weeks. It peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart and became the band's first Platinum-selling album in the US. The worldwide sales for the album are over six million copies. It also produced the band's most successful single in the UK, "Bohemian Rhapsody", which became their first UK number one and one of the best-selling singles in both the UK and the world. Contemporary reviews from critics were mixed, with praise directed toward its production and the diverse musical themes, as well as recognising it as the album that established Queen as superstars. In 1977, it received two Grammy nominations for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus and Best Arrangement for Voices. Retrospective reviews have hailed it as Queen's magnum opus, and one of the greatest albums in rock history. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it number 231 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2018, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSaMYkjIkf8 43秒のところでフレディが「ピーマン、ダメですよ~」と歌っているのは日本人だけの秘密です。
