This is a 1986 US compilation of the 1968 UK-only Blues Anytime series. These studio sessions featured all of the top British Blues stars of the 60s before they were rock legends: Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, plus John Mayall and many more. The backing band on the Page tracks includes Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman!

Warner Bros Records
1986
30 years ago tomorrow, we first heard Sammy Hagar as a member of Van Halen. This 45 was released on February 26, 1986 about one month before the full 5150 album. The song was a big hit, but the faster and crunchier b-side, “Get Up” was better!

TBT Vinyl: The Concerts for the People of Kampuchea
The Concerts for the People of Kampuchea
1979 / Released 1981
Atlantic Records
Dragging out one of my personal faves this week: Concerts for the People of Kampuchea. This 1979 four-night event was organized by Paul McCartney and mixed late 70s British rock royalty like The Who, Queen, Wings, and members of Led Zeppelin with new bands like The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Specials, and The Pretenders. It’s the perfect live album and it’s still not available on CD or digital download!
