The Vinyl Countdown # 71
Crazy Ed For Governor: Live From Crazy Ed’s (1973) God bless the internet. It always catches up and surpasses your expectations. Sometimes you just have to wait. This album was released in 1973.

Bob Marley and The Wailers, Live: Boston Music Hall (June 8th 1978) (2017) Look, I’m not really one for these bootleg recordings – but I am one for bargains. So when I found a brand new copy of this, for dirt cheap, with time to kill and browsing, there was no choice but for it […]Archive
