There’s never been anything like Astral Weeks—not before or since. Parting with the straightforward, R&B-based rock of his past, a young Van Morrison embraced his love of jazz, blues, folk, and poetry all at once. The thrillingly transcendent journey finds him mixing bittersweet childhood memories and in-the-moment reveries like a folk-rock James Joyce. His soulful voice soars over a constantly shifting, almost impressionistic landscape of fluid, jazzy lines, gentle strumming, and shimmering orchestrations. The magic Morrison created here is as otherworldly as the title suggests.

The Zombies这个乐队并不怎么出名，Odessey and Oracle是他们的最后一张专辑，推出之后不久乐队就散伙了。专辑录制于1967年，但发行商直到1969年才把它翻出来听（个人认为很可能是打算听一遍就扔掉），然而听过之后，这个交好运的发行商忽然发现原来垃圾堆里也有宝贝，这张专辑才得以发行。
就是这样一张侥幸逃过灭顶之灾且知名度并不太高的唱片，在强手林立的滚石500张最强专辑中排名却高居第80位，并不是偶然的。滚石的编辑认为，这张专辑把类似于Beatles的那张Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band中的迷幻曲风和正在发展的英格兰流行音乐进行了很好的融合。我听过之后，觉得确实非常好听，单纯论好听的话，我认为不比Beatles那张Sgt' Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band差。如果不是因为乐队名气实在太小，我相信这张专辑还可以获得更高的名次，推荐！
这张专辑在1998年推出30周年纪念版，在原版12首歌基础上增加15首Bonus Track。2004年又再版一次，总曲目变为28首。[from verycd]

Originally released in 1967, 'Scott 2' reached # 1 in the UK & includes the Top 20 hit 'Jackie'. 2000, 24 bit digitally remastered with the restored original sleeve. Fontanta.

Caetano Veloso is the debut solo album by the artist of the same name, released in Brazil in 1968. He had released Domingo the year before in collaboration with Gal Costa. It was one of the first Tropicália efforts, and features arrangements by Júlio Medaglia, Damiano Cozzella, and Sandino Hohagen, as well as an eclectic assortment of influences, demonstrating the "antropofagia" (artistic cannibalism) of the Tropicália movement. Sounds from psychedelia, rock, pop, Indian music, bossa nova, Bahian music and other genres appear on the album. It includes the hit songs "Alegria, Alegria", "Tropicália", and "Soy loco por ti, América".

这是一张难以用任何语言来形容和赞美的经典专辑，在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第34（我个人认为这个排名太低了！），我知道至少还有一个人会同意我的观点，那就是Eric Clapton。1968年，当这位吉他大师听到这张专辑的时候，忽然发现，原来摇滚乐还可以这样！于是他立刻解散了自己当时的乐队，开始新的奋斗。用他自己的话说，The Band改变了他的人生。
The Band和Bob Dylan的关系可谓非常密切，专辑名称中的“Big Pink”就是他们在一起鼓捣音乐的那栋租来的旧房子。专辑里的那首I shall be released就是Dylan的作品。但当Dylan提出在专辑中演奏的要求时，他们却拒绝了，鼓手Levon Helm说，我们不能总靠Bob Dylan的人气混日子（We didn't want to just ride his shirttail all the time），the Band用他们的实力表明，他们的优秀确实不需要依靠Bob Dylan的加入来证明。
专辑首发于1968年，这里发布的是2000年重新灌录的版本，除改善音质之外，还增加了几首当年没有发行的demo，更具收藏价值。

Originally released on Columbia in 1968, The United States of America is one of the legendary pure psychedelic space records. Some of the harder-rocking tunes have a fun house recklessness that recalls aspects of early Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground at their freakiest; the sedate, exquisitely orchestrated ballads, especially "Cloud Song" and the wonderfully titled "Love Song for the Dead Che," are among the best relics of dreamy psychedelia. Occasionally things get too excessive and self-conscious, and the attempts at comedy are a bit flat, but otherwise this is a near classic.

Vincebus Eruptum (the first word is pronounced 'win-kay-bus') is the debut studio album by American rock band Blue Cheer. Released in January 1968, the album was the first to feature the band's classic lineup of vocalist and bassist Dickie Peterson, guitarist Leigh Stephens and drummer Paul Whaley. A commercial and critical success, Vincebus Eruptum peaked at number 11 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and spawned the top-20 hit cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues". It is lauded as one of the first heavy metal albums.

The best black female singer of the 20th century. This is a stunning album. the definitive late 60’s Aretha Franklin, bold, beautiful, vulnerable, earthy, sexy, defiant, spiritual and strong.. Full of great songs.
A seminal session that furthered her deep soul agenda with key backings from Arif Mardin and Tom Dowd! The Sweet Inspirations provide sublime backing vocals behind Franklin’s maturing delivery of the lyrics — and the music is by an all-star group of players that includes Spooner Oldham, Bobby Womack, Jimmy Johnson, King Curtis, Tommy Cogbill, Roger Hawkins, and even Eric Clapton!
After all, she is the Queen, the Lady Soul!!

Ranked #84 in Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” Aretha’s position as soul music’s premier female vocalist was consolidated by Lady Soul. Her strident reading of “Chain of Fools” set the tone on which the singer unveiled several stellar original compositions and reinterpreted a batch of classic songs. Franklin’s gospel roots were clearly displayed on “People Get Ready” while her interpretation of “(You Make Me Fell Like A) Natural Woman” showed both her vulnerable and assertive qualities. The album also features the fine soul ballad “Good to Me as I Am to You” with Eric Clapton on guitar. Lady Soul captures a performer at the peak of her power, restating her ability to take material and make it uniquely her own. This 1968 tour de force is one of the absolute pinnacles of the Queen’s incredible artistic legacy.

At a 1968 concert in Chicago, Aretha Franklin was publicly and officially crowned the Queen of Soul in front of her fans by a DJ named Purvis Spann. This body of work shows why Aretha continues to reign supreme. The Queen takes on the Kings of Soul/Rhythm & Blues and pulls no punches as she covers Ray Charles’s “Come Back Baby” and “Be as Good to Me as I Am to You,” James Brown’s “Money Won’t Change You,” and Curtis Mayfield’s “People Get Ready”. She’s classical, bluesy, funky, and right-down soulful on every cut. The poet Nikki Giovanni once wrote–”Aretha can sing Money Won’t Change You, but can James Brown sing Respect?” In other words, when the Queen covers a song, it becomes hers and one can easily forget about the original artist. For example, Carol King wrote and recorded “Natural Woman” but that song is and probably will always be associated with Aretha Franklin. Aretha wails and gets right-down funky on cuts like “Chain of Fools” and “Nikki Hokey.” She’s operatically soulful on “Ain’t No Way”–which to this day no female artist, including Whitney Houston, has been able to successfully cover.You have an absolutely classic and indispensable piece of American music history here. The one and only Aretha Franklin: “Lady Soul.”

Eli and the Thirteenth Confession is the second album by New York City-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro, released in 1968.
