Man the Fire

John Vernon Lord's breathtaking album art sets the tone for Purple's sophomore opus, "The Book of Taliesyn" - An album that manages to gracefully rock from melodically mellow to thunderously raucous. Bleeding in the classical keyboards and spastic drumming that would become the bands staple. This album includes several covers (including The Beatles and Neil Diamond). #manthefire #deeppurple #thebeatles #classicrock #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #nowspinning #rockhistory #mtfrecords

{1972} English Prog-Rock Outfit, Atomic Rooster, releases "Made in England" - After three lineup changes, organist Vincent Crane began taking the songwriting reigns; the result revealed a funkier side to Rooster's music.. #manthefire #atomicrooster #classicrock #rockhistory #progrock #vinyl #vinyljunkie #recordcollection #nowspinning #mtfrecords

Scene From The Studio : Classic concert poster from Cream's final visit to Philly.. Cream's supporting acts included (the newly formed) YES and Deep Purple.. They performed center arena on a revolving stage.. #manthefire #cream #clapton #spectrum #philadelphia #rockhistory #mtfrecords

{1966} "Unbelievable" by Billy Stewart - pressed by Chess Records. Truly one of the most unique singers of our time! Known for his Scat-Style, this album features his cover of "Summertime" (arguably his biggest hit). Stewart died in an auto accident just prior to his 33rd birthday. #manthefire #billystewart #chessrecords #scat #singer #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #recordcollection #vinyladdict #mtfrecords

Sometimes an Album seems to finds you at the perfect time in your life. Opening your mind to the limitless pleasures of music.. That was the case with me and Sublime's "Sublime" #manthefire #sublime #lbc #loudog #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #mtfrecords

The self-titled debut from The Doors (1967) stands as an American Masterpiece.. Jim's voice laid against that Vox Continental Organ and Fender Keyboard Bass was (and still is) like nothing else in Rock.. Ray Manzarek's work will live on forever in the hearts of Doors fans across the World. RIP #thedoors #manzarek #classicrock #vinyl #manthefire
