Can you recommend any strictly or mostly instramental blues harp LPs?

New or old, like Bob Corritore's Taboo on vinyl.

The Harmonica According to Charlie Musselwhite is mostly instrumental and is available on vinyl LP from amazon.

Thanks Dan, It's on the way.

I have a new music room and some space set aside for the old turntable and more LPs...

You're welcome. I'm a baby boomer (aka an old fart) and grew up with vinyl 45s and LPs. I didn't get a CD player until about 1990 when record stores stopped stocking vinyl albums. Fortunately, vinyl made a comeback of sorts about 10 years ago and I started buying vinyl again. Digital music is handier and much more portable when you're on the go but when I'm home I dig listening to vinyl albums. Unfortunately, not many blues albums are put on vinyl these days because of the cost and because there's not very many pressing plants around. I would be interested to know if any of the recording artists that post on this forum plan to have any of their recordings pressed on vinyl.

Back to black
Is the expression in the UK
Not sure if that’s world wide or not
Our collection is about 1000 vinyl albums and we always go vinyl regardless of cost if it’s available
It’s just better, gets you in your bones and sole ( ups dyslexia kreeping in is that capital, fish or music)
You guys out there putting music out put it on vinyl- we will pay

And I have just ordered that too , thanks for the heads up

While it isn't on vinyl, Mark Hummel just released a nice CD full of instrumentals. A couple of decades ago, Jerry Portnoy released a CD full of jazz standards on harmonica. It can't remember the title of it. Stanley Behrens also released an LP with a blazing orange cover that has nothing but bad ass takes of jazz standards that is a great listen, too. There are probably Howard Levy instrumental LP's, too.
