Lynyrd Skynyrd. 1973. Debut album, just great imho.
This album and supporting The Who on their US tour brought them proper exposure.

Intrigued, I looked it up on Discogs as I too remembered Hallmark as a budget label similar to MfP. It was.
The Jackson LP was first released on
A&M 1979, and reissued in the UK on Hallmark in 1984 & 1985.
Different matrices so not original metalwork, but cut by Jack Adams who I don’t know.

Random pic from the vinyl cupboard, well random in the sense that it would be between an ‘S’ or a ‘V’ band

I’ve nothing by Hot Tuna. in fact my Jefferson Airplane stuff is limited that needs sorting. So much to buy now I’m retired that I never (a) had the money for as a youth or (b) had the time to listen to when self employed(or had the money for then either 
)
Meanwhile, still in the 'T’s

Thank you @GeoffC, I’ll have to be patient and look for some second hand CDs in (hopefully) mint conditions.
I must say you have quite a nice collection of JLF albums (and jazz fusion in general). So far, after discovering JF thanks to this forum, I think I’ve bought all his available albums as new CDs and also all Jazz Funk Soul albums. I truly enjoy his work and collaborations!
How lucky you are to be able to go to his concert, I wish I could do the same! Recently I’ve been to a concert with Dave Weckl, he’s an outstanding drummer. If I’m not mistaken he’s played with JL in his album “Eleven”.

Yeah, money back in my teens made choosing what to buy or not a real quandary …but I was so lucky to get jobs where I lived onsite so no rent, and I wasn’t too interested in food (ahem) so each month… off to the record shops!

I always associated Hallmark with Woolworths as a budget record label.

Lol… yeah, Sphongle & Infected Mushroom are the biz… working through some great electronic stuff today. You may well like the Symbolico - Perceiving All I posted earlier. I need to checkout some more of there stuff as that was a good album. Keep saving these albums and forgetting to revisit… so the next few days is about that

Yep, that’s where I always saw them, and Marble Arch etc. I was surprised to see they were still in business in the 80’s tbh…
