Room to Move, from Mayall's Turning Point album. First marginally successful lift, anyway.

"Oh She Was Pretty" -Sterling Magee.

I only have four other records and two of them are Sterling Magee. I'm one of those young, newfangled MP3 guys. ;)

...you are talking about Recording, right?

Lift? If you mean copied, it might have been Rice Miller's All My Love In Vain on Chess.

I've picked off a few Beatles numbers, but technically I wasn't doing it from vinyl. I knew the songs from when I was a kid and had them on a record, but I'd replaced the albums with tapes or CD's long before I picked up the harp in earnest. I think the first Beatles tune I picked off part of was the melody for Hey Jude, but the first Beatles harp part I picked off was Love Me Do.

Hoochie Coochie Man (kind of). Played back-up for a friend's son's high school vocal performance.

happy,

it is a semi-mythical petroleum based substance from the time when flying dinosaurs stole our children. commonly black in color but occasionally red, these were formed into circles or discs called records. they said stuff like stereo, mono, quadrophonic, hi fi,33rpm 45 rpm 78rpm LP, and gobbledygook like that.

sometimes they contained music,see mozart, sometimes cacophony; cross reference Blue Cheer.

hope this helps

"Just your Fool" off of a cassette not vinyl- I learned it because I was listening to a Gary Primach teaching tape and he recommended studying it.

easy,
i think that was called Hullabaloo or Shindig. Facinating stuff! even if you aren't an historian.)
even as a lay person, i found the dance antics of these crested war painted savages endearing.

Yo mamma so old the track marks in her arm play best at 78.

Sorry, one day sitting at a coffee house I came up with a bunch of yo mamma jokes, and this one seemed topical.

Piano Man from a cassette, and Low Rider from VHS. I did listen to "love me do" on Vinyl as a kid, but that was before I tried harmonica.

Probably lovesick blues from Charlie McCoy was the first one I worked at that way for a specific harmonica copy.

I finally got this studio version of "Hitch'Hikin' from a Dutch band called Livin' Blues, appeared early 70's.
Incredible band, I recorded much from their vinyls.
I suggest you try to find "Black night" on youtube,
live version, duration: more then 9 minutes.
The harp player, John Lagrand, was 56 years old when he died, in 2005.

Listen and have thrills.
