Vendor: Little Richard
Type: Vinyl
Price: 25.98

One of the original rock & roll greats, Little Richard merged the fire of gospel with New Orleans R&B, pounding the piano and wailing with gleeful abandon. While numerous other R&B greats of the early ’50s had been moving in a similar direction, none of them matched the sheer electricity of Richard’s vocals. With his bullet-speed deliveries, ecstatic trills, and the overjoyed force of personality in his singing, he was crucial in upping the voltage from high-powered R&B into the similar, yet different, guise of rock & roll.

This energetic collection of hits from his time at Specialty Records presents Little Richard at the top of his game, featuring favorites such as “Tutti Frutti”, “Good Golly, Miss Molly” and “The Girl Can’t Help It”.

Vendor: The Traveling Wilburys
Type: Vinyl
Price: 29.99

The Traveling Wilburys would have never referred to themselves as a supergroup. Though comprised of some of the biggest names in modern music, the band was much more nonchalant than that. Formed out of friendship, spontaneity (and some would say pure kismet) the Traveling Wilburys were Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison.

The music they created together on their 1988 debut would win GRAMMY®s and garner platinum plaques, but, more than anything, it was a testament to the group’s enduring chemistry and collective genius. wellnesshotellimburg’ 30th-anniversary 12-inch picture-disc reissue of The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 celebrates this blue moon moment in rock ’n’ roll history.

A-side features the band’s logo, with B-side displaying an Alberto Tolot photo of the Wilburys. This limited edition 12” LP is housed in a die-cut sleeve revealing the picture disc in all its glory.

Vendor: Country Joe & The Fish
Type: Vinyl
Price: 29.98

A true talisman of the '60s Bay Area scene, this debut 1967 180-gram LP packed in one head-expanding psych classic after another.

Given their origins, both geographically (San Francisco) and stylistically (founder Joe McDonald and lead guitarist Barry Melton first hooked up in a jug band), it wasn't surprising that the ragtag Fish sounded like an acid-soaked, plugged-in folk band when they debuted in '67. Simultaneously the most political and funniest of all the Northern California bands, the Fish's yippie-hippie philosophy was reflected in songs like "Superbird" (about Lyndon Johnson), "Flying High" (about getting you-know-what), and the bluesy free love saga, "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine." That they could periodically wax serious as well (the wide-angled instrumental "Section Forty Three" and the moody "Bass Strings") only added more bite to their satiric pungency. --Billy Altman
