Hermanos Zaizar- Canciones de la Revolucion

 This is a great album that I highly recommend to anyone with even a remote interest in Mexican music. Some of the audio is a bit rough however the songs are still classics that date back around 100 years and Los Hermanos Zaizar are some of the best artists to have covered these songs. Also for anyone interested in a bit of military history take note of songs like La Adelita and La Rielera. These songs and others mention women in combat roles during the war. This is something that is rarely mentioned however the Mexican Revolution was one of the first conflicts were women were treated equally to their male counterparts in concern to combat roles. Some women were even known to have attained high ranking positions like commanders, colonels, and such.

The Clash Vanilla Tapes

The legendary Vanilla Tapes are a series of demos by The Clash that were what for the most part would become the famous London Calling album. These demos however for a long time were thought to have completely vanished. The story goes that Clash roadie Johnny Green lost the tapes while on the London Underground and it was not until 2004 that the tapes would resurface when Mick Jones found another copy of them. I recommend these to any Clash fan as they are a great insight into the band. Everything from the cover of Sonny Okosun's Fire in Soweto to the rough versions of classic songs like London Calling and Guns of Brixton.

This is the second album from the great Nigeria 70 series done by Strut Records. The series looks at some of the main artists in the country and some of the popular music styles of the period.

I do not usually say this however if you enjoy this go out and buy the real thing and support Strut Records and their work to compile great music from all around the world.

Lynn Taitt and The Jets - Hold Me Tight 1965-1973 Anthology

 This is probably one of the best rocksteady albums you will ever find. Hold Me Tight does an amazing job of compiling some great tracks of "rocksteady" which was the popular music genre in 60's and early 70's Jamaica that would lead to what most people know as reggae. Hold Me Tight is made up of two CD's the first one containing purely instrumental songs and the second one containing various rocksteady classics.
I highly recommend this one to anyone as this album seems to have something for every music taste.

A great album for any Clash, Joe Strummer, or just rock fan in general. This album features some of Joe's work after The Clash disbanded with his band The Latino Rockabilly War. This bootleg is extremely rare as it is probably some of the only live audio out there of Joe playing with Latino Rockabilly War. Highly recommend checking this one out as it has a bit for everyone everything from classic Clash tunes to a Carlos Santana and more great material.
