Battle Studies
Used - LP - 88697 53087 1
Scarce 2009 2LP 180gm gatefold original. No CD or 7 inch single included. Following on from the groundbreaking Continuum, this features some of Mayer's most mature writing, once again alongside Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino. "It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through the tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a weird one-man band cover of "Crossroads," turning Clapton's contained Cream masterwork into something about vibe, not virtuosity. Mayer remains a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is song -- something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture -- not just in the sound sculptures in the bedding of "Heartbreak Warfare," but even the strum-n-croon of "All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye" -- and his love-as-war metaphors land with the thud of a dud bomb, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk of Battle Studies upon them: the elegant "Half of My Heart," the stoned self-deprecating wit of "Who Says," the softly soulful "Perfectly Lonely." Here, Mayer is effortlessly seductive and somewhat irresistible, and it's easy to see why the ladies love cool John." All Music Guide – Stephen Thomas Erlewine.

Continuum
Used - LP - 88697 27976 1
2008 2LP reissue housed in a single pocket jacket; includes the addition of the final track "Say". Not in shrink but still has clipping of hype sticker. Co-produced with Steve Jordan. His seminal studio work. "Anybody Who Was Initially Confused By Singer/songwriter John Mayer's Foray Into Blues With 2005's Try! John Mayer Trio Live In Concert Could Only Have Been Further Confounded Upon Listening To The Album And Coming To The Realization That It Was Actually Good. And Not Just Kinda Good, Especially For Guy Who Had Been Largely Labeled As A Dave Matthews Clone, But Really, Truthfully, Organically Good As A Blues Album In Its Own Right. However, For Longtime Fans Who Had Been Keeping Tabs On Mayer, The Turn Might Not Have Been So Unexpected. Soon After The Release Of His 2003 Sophomore Album, The Laid-back, Assuredly Melodic Heavier Things, Mayer Began Appearing On Albums By Such Iconic Blues And Jazz Artists As Buddy Guy, B.b. King, And Herbie Hancock. And Not Just Singing, But Playing Guitar Next To Musicians Legendary On The Instrument. In Short, He Was Seeking Out These Artists In An Attempt To Delve Into The Roots Of The Blues, A Music He Obviously Has A Deep Affection For. Rather Than His Blues Trio Being A One-off Side Project Completely Disconnected To His Past Work, It Is Clear Now That It Was The Next Step In His Musical Development. And Truthfully, While Try! Certainly Showcases Mayer's Deft Improvisational Blues Chops, It's More Of A Blues/soul Album In The Tradition Of Such Electric Blues Legends As Jimi Hendrix And Stevie Ray Vaughan, And Features Songs By Mayer That Perfectly Marry His Melodic Songcraft And His Blues-slinger Inclinations. In Fact, What Seemed At The Time A Nod To His Largely Female Fan Base (The Inclusion Of "Daughters" And "Something's Missing" Off Heavier Things) Was Actually A Hint That He Was Bridging His Sound For His Listeners, Showing Them Where He Was Going.
That Said, Nothing He Did Up Until The Excellent, Expansive Try! Could Have Prepared You For The Monumental Creative Leap Forward That Is Mayer's 2006 Studio Effort, Continuum. Working With His Blues Trio/rhythm Section Of Bassist Pino Palladino And Drummer Steve Jordan, Along With Guest Spots By Trumpeter Roy Hargrove And Guitarist Ben Harper, Mayer Brings All Of His Recent Musical Explorations And Increasing Talents As A Singer/songwriter To Bear On Continuum. Produced Solely By Mayer And Jordan, The Album Is A Devastatingly Accomplished, Fully Realized Effort That In Every Way Exceeds Expectations And Positions Mayer As One Of The Most Relevant Artists Of His Generation. Adding Weight To The Notion That Mayer's Blues Trio Is More Than Just A Creative Indulgence, He Has Carried Over Two Tracks From The Live Album In "Vultures" And The Deeply Metaphorical Soul Ballad "Gravity." These Are Gut-wrenchingly Poignant Songs That Give Voice To A Generation Of Kids Raised On Trl Teen Stars And Cnn Soundbites Who've Found Themselves All Grown Up And Fighting A War Of "Beliefs." Grappling With A Handful Of Topics -- Social And Political, Romantic And Sexual, Pointedly Personal And Yet Always Universal In Scope -- Mayer's Continuum Here Earns A Legitimate Comparison To Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. Nobody -- Not A Single One Of Mayer's Contemporaries -- Has Come Up With Anything Resembling A Worthwhile Antiwar Anthem That Is As Good And Speaks For Their Generation As Much As His "Waiting On The World To Change" -- And He Goes And Hangs The Whole Album On It As The First Single.
It's A Bold Statement Of Purpose That Is Carried Throughout The Album, Not Just In Sentiment, But Also Tone. Continuum Is A Gorgeously Produced, Brilliantly Stripped-to-basics Album That Incorporates Blues, Soft Funk, R&b, Folk, And Pop In A Sound That Is Totally Owned By Mayer. It's No Stretch When Trying To Describe The Sound Of Continuum To Color It In The Light Of Work By Such Legends As Sting, Eric Clapton, Sade, Stevie Ray Vaughan, And Steve Winwood. In Fact, The Sustained Adult Contemporary Tone Of The Album Could Easily Have Become Turgid, Boring, Or Dated But Never Does, And Brings To Mind Such Classic Late-'80s Albums As Sting's Nothing Like The Sun, Clapton's Journeyman, And Vaughan's In Step. At Every Turn, Continuum Finds Mayer To Be A Mature, Thoughtful, And Gifted Musician Who Fully Grasps His Place Not Just In The Record Industry, But In Life." All Music Guide - Matt Collar.

Room For Squares
New - LP - C 85293
Sealed, Latest Press Of The 2001 Release. "After Making A Small Buzz With The Inside Wants Out Ep, John Mayer Hired Veteran Producer John Alagía (Known For His Work With The Dave Matthews Band) To Beef Up His Full-Length Debut With Commercial Polish. Released In September 2001, Room For Squares Proved To Be A Well-timed Album, Quietly Heralding The End Of Teen Pop's Glory Days With Clever Wordplay, Savvy Chord Progressions, And Mature Songwriting. Songs Like "No Such Thing" And "Neon" Mixed Jazz Chords With Digestible Choruses, Fashioning A Sort Of Brainy, College-Educated Pop Hybrid That Appealed To Discerning Listeners And Mainstream Fans Alike. Of Course, It Didn't Hurt That Mayer Also Loaded The Album With More Straightforward Numbers -- Particularly "Your Body Is A Wonderland," A Bubbling Piece Of Bedroom Pop That Helped Expand His Female Audience. Mayer's Soon-To-Be Famous Guitar Solos And Bluesy, Stevie Ray Vaughan-Styled Riffs Were Sorely Absent From The Mix, Though, As He Limited The Bulk Of His Fretwork To The Acoustic Guitar. It Would Take A Jam-Friendly Concert Album -- 2003's Any Given Thursday -- To Introduce The Full Range Of Mayer's Axeman Skills To The Public, But Room For Squares Still Provides A Nice Introduction To His Catalog, Highlighting His Blend Of Collegiate Pop/Rock And Sensitive Acoustics While Only Hinting At The Genre-Hopping Chameleon He'd Later Become."

Sob Rock
Colored Vinyl - Used - 19439882351
2021 limited edition Clear "Coke" bottle pressing. "John Mayer evokes the hushed professionalism of '80s adult-contemporary rock on his all-too-breezy eighth studio album, 2021's Sob Rock. Mayer has always worn his influences on his sleeve, often bringing together the bluesy fret work of Eric Clapton with the yearning singer/songwriter sincerity of James Taylor. He's also made no secret of how much the sound of mid- and late-'80s pop/rock has informed his own work, and albums like 2006's Grammy-winning Continuum and 2012's Born and Raised have found him drawing upon the work of icons like Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Neil Young. Once again working with legendary producer Don Was (who helmed Born and Raised), Mayer has crafted an album that purposefully sounds like it could have been released anytime between 1985 and 1990. It's a gauzy, teal-toned throwback aesthetic that Mayer extends to the album's visuals, including a dusky blue LP cover photo (some released replete with vintage-appropriate "The Nice Price" sticker in bubbly Cooper font). Given the warm, analog-sounding synths of "The Last Train Home" and the Fleetwood Mac-isms of "New Light," one could easily listen to Sob Rock and imagine Mayer showing up at Live Aid 1985 to sit in with Dire Straits or Phil Collins. That said, for better or worse, the title of Sob Rock speaks as much to the album's aesthetics as it does the thematic material. Where Mayer's '80s forebears tackled issues like apartheid, nuclear disarmament, and ending world hunger, Sob Rock finds Mayer stuck in a pattern of self-absorbed, lovelorn sadness. As he sings on "New Light," I'm the boy in your other phone/Lighting up inside your drawer at home all alone/Pushing 40 in the friend zone." It's this kind of candid specificity of emotion that makes Sob Rock both a relatable and at times frustrating experience. There are several standout tracks here, including the aforementioned "The Last Train Home" and the Bruce Hornsby-esque "Shot in the Dark" that stick in your head in the way that the best of Mayer's work often does. The smooth production also leans nicely towards his Continuum sound and feels like a more natural fit than his earnest forays into folk and country on Paradise Valley. However, much of the album feels indistinct and weightless, with one failed-relationship song after another delivered in such a low-key way that they drift by without leaving much of a trace. Others, like "Why You No Love Me," with its childlike title, border on irksome as they too expertly mimic the sound of something you might have heard on Jimmy Buffett's 1987 A Pirate Looks at Forty Tour. Sob Rock is a pleasant album whose thematic '80s affections add some stylistic flair to Mayer's laid-back songs." All Music Guide - Matt Collar.

The Search For Everything
New - LP - 88985422391
Sealed 2017 US 180gm 2LP 45rpm Pressing. "John Mayer First Teased His Seventh Album, The Search For Everything, Through A Pair Of Eps That Contained Eight Of The Record's 12 Songs. It Was A Sly Way For The Singer/songwriter To Ease Back Into His Soulful Side, A Sound He Largely Abandoned During An Extended Dalliance With Laurel Canyon Country-rock -- An Infatuation That Culminated In His Position As A Substitute Jerry Garcia In The Grateful Dead Satellite Group Dead & Company. Although It's Ostensibly A Breakup Album, The Search For Everything Doesn't Feel Haunted: Mayer Glides Through The Record So Smoothly, The Supple Sound Seems Almost Insouciant. It Is Also Quite Alluring. Mayer May Be Reverting To The Sound Of Continuum, Alternating Between R&b Workouts And Soul-baring Ballads, But Forward Movement Is The Unifying Sentiment Here. The Nimble Funk Opener, "Moving On And Getting Over," Makes That Plain, As Does The Plaintive "Changing," Which Summarizes His Plight Simply: "I May Be Old And I May Be Young/but I Am Not Done Changing." Some Of Mayer's Change Can Be Charted In How He Hangs Onto His Romantic Past, Burying Some Of His Heartache On The Deceptively Exuberant Opener, "Still Feel Like Your Man," And Offering A Bittersweet Denouement In The Admission "You're Gonna Live Forever In Me." Mirroring His Emotional Maturity Is A Sharpening Of His Songcraft. While He's Always Shown A Knack For Slow-burning Soul, The Progression And Arrangement Of The Smoldering "Rosie" Feel As Sophisticated As The Lithe Grace Of "Emoji Of A Wave," While "Roll It On Home," An Easy-rolling Country-rocker That Tips Its Hat To The Dead, Shows How He Absorbed The Lessons Of His Laurel Canyon Detour Of Born And Raised And Paradise Valley. Those Two Records, Along With Such Earlier Workouts As Try! John Mayer Trio Live In Concert, Reveal The Extent Of Mayer's Ambition, But The Search For Everything Succeeds Because He's Not Donning A New Costume: Instead, He's Settling Into A Groove He Can Claim As His Own, And It Feels Like He's At Home."

Try!
New - LP - 95115
Sealed, Out Of Print 2006 2LP Original. Mayer Makes A Complete Departure From Previous Territory With This, His Third Album. For Some Time His Cameo Roles With The Likes Of Eric Clapton, Herbie Hancock, B.B. King, Buddy Guy And John Scofield Have Hinted That His Musical Tastes And Skills Were Far Broader Than His Previous Recordings Had Suggested. On "Try" He Rises To The Challenge With Muscular Playing That's His Best On Record. Not Just That, But There's A Palpable Grit To Try! — And A Sultry Smoothness To The Mellow Numbers — Unheard On His Previous Studio Albums. That Alone Would Make Try! Not Just Noteworthy, But A Step Forward For Mayer. But What Makes It More Remarkable Is That Mayer Takes An Even Greater Risk By Relying On New Material For This Album. There Are Two Older Songs — "Something's Missing" And The Hit "Daughters," Both From Heavier Things — But The Rest Consists Of Covers Of Jimi Hendrix And Ray Charles ("Wait Until Tomorrow" And "I Got A Woman," Respectively) And New Songs That Showcase Mayer's Earthier, Blues-Rock Direction. With "Try" Mayer Has Expanded What He Can Do As A Musician And A Writer And In The Process Has Definitively Separated Himself From The Pack. Recommended.

Where The Light Is: John Mayer Live In Los Angeles
Box Set - New - MOVLP444
Sealed 2012 4LP 180gm Audiophile Reissue From Music On Vinyl. Custom Black MOV Hype Sticker On Shrink. "Recorded at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California, Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles finds singer/songwriter and guitarist John Mayer performing in three different band settings: acoustic trio, electric trio, and large ensemble. As such, the evening works as a nice representation of Mayer's work beginning with the 2003 album Heavier Things and continuing through his creative reinvention as a modern electric blues artist with 2005's Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert and finally his smash Grammy-winning 2006 effort, Continuum. Essentially, the concert is designed to showcase Mayer's ability to move from melodic soft rock and pop to folky solo numbers and rockin' blues. Generally, the conceit works and the concert does shine a light, so to speak, on Mayer's virtuosic musical chops. However, segmenting this concert into such specific aesthetic sounds loses some of the diverse flow a Mayer concert usually has. It should be noted that the concert is also available on DVD and Blu-ray, where you get see each band and appreciate the diversity among the ensembles. That said, for fans of Mayer the songwriter, you really can't lose, as the guy is hard-pressed to come up with a bad song, and tracks like the fan favorite "Daughters" and the bittersweet "Stop This Train" really benefit from the acoustic reading Mayer gives them here. Similarly, by putting "'Who Do You Think I Was," "Vultures," and his inspired take on Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love" in the middle electric trio section, Mayer builds the energy of the concert, perfectly setting up the pop/blues cornucopia of the final large ensemble set. Beginning with the hit "'Waiting on the World to Change," Mayer's last set (on disc two) is really the set most fans will gravitate toward, as it finds Mayer and his backing group of stellar sideman diving headlong into such soulful numbers as "Why Georgia" and "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)," while also making room for such bluesy nuggets as his Stevie Ray Vaughan-inspired reworking of the Ray Charles hit "I Don't Need No Doctor" (a number heard on John Scofield's That's What I Say with Mayer as guest). Admittedly sprawling and ambitious, Where the Light Is is nonetheless a dynamic showcase for Mayer, who never fails to shine." All Music Guide - Matt Collar
