A guy I worked with 30 years ago was an audiophile/record guy! Over 17,000 piece of Vinyl. He used to go to Running Man as a pirate radio gig. Long before it became the capitalist shithole it has become…. His whole house was walls of milk crates with Albums from any genre you could possibly think of. And he had them ALL memorised and catalogued!
Rick Donmoyer from WARPIG here. Thank you for your enthusiastic review. Myself, bassist Terry Brett, and drummer Terry Hook are still standing, but we lost our brother-in-Rock/co-composer/keyboardist Dana Snitch a few months back and he is dearly missed! FYI, there was a second WARPIG album of all new original songs that we had begun recording back in 1974 that was never completed, and each of us moved on to other pursuits, though I carried on playing with other music projects for a number of years! Shift ahead a few decades and in 2004 we began getting together as often as 3 or 4 times a year through until about 2016, here in my studio, and many of those sessions resulted in song frameworks, some instrumental bed tracks and a dearth of new ideas which I have here both on digital tracks and dozens of pages of handwritten notes. We had assistance from engineer/producer Tom (TomB) Brennand (the guy who was working on album 2 with us in 1974) who came out of retirement to engineer recording some of the sessions, and then producer Nick Blagona (Deep Purple, Chicago, James Bond Thunderball soundtrack orchestrations, Police, Chicago, BeeGees, etc)….worked with us on a few sessions before his passing! Never say Never, WARPIG may yet deliver more original music if I can muster the resources to complete some of what we started so long ago! We are honoured to be included in your collection!
Hey Rick, found this channel by chance and saw his review of the Warpig album. Listening to it as I type this. Some kick butt hard rock from a time that, unfortunately, we will never see again musically speaking. Killer album, thanks for the great music and hope that you are able to release the second album at some point. Oh, not sure you knew or were aware of this but you guys have a page on Wikipedia lol! Here's the link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warpig_(band) Take care and rock on man!
Awesome post Rick, I have not listened to WARPIG for a long time. I hope you guys put something together soon. I would often meet Terry at his local Pub, Feel like going for a pint to see if he is there and inquire about the progress on your new work.
Hello Rick, I had that record bought it at Sam The Record Man downtown Kitchener Ontario for $1. I had it for a long time until I found what they were selling for on Ebay. I got $150US for it and I believe it went to Japan? Did you have any idea that it was fetching that much cash? It was a fantastic record but I needed the cash. Thanks for that great album! Rock On!
Captain Beyond's first album from 1972, if you haven't heard it, you are in for a treat. I bought it back in 72. I was browsing through albums and it was playing in the shop, I was trying to work out who it was. By the third track I remember thinking, " I don't care who it is, I am buying it". I had never even heard of them but it turns out it was a mixture of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly members, but it didn't sound like either. It is still one of my most played albums.
@@noblerecords Those were some Good days.."Dancing Madly Backwards,on a sea of Air."Marshall Amps set to STUN.Far Out Album cover..They all were back then.Stumbled on your channel..Subbed 👍
Thank you for your list of 20 great albums that I knew nothing about. I'm 59 years old and have enjoyed Rock from the '40s on to about 1990. I'm really needed something new to listen to for a while. I wish I hadn't got rid of my record collection back in the days when CDs were just coming in Vogue. I had some killer albums that I tried to replace by buying CDs. I wish I didn't get rid of them. I'm more in their loss now. Hind sight is 20/20. I definitely feel the Loss. I am very much looking forward to check in each and every album that you mention today. I actually am writing everything down, so that I don't miss anything. Again thank you very much. You are much appreciated. I am also a guitar player who has made seven CDs of original music hard Rock that sounds like it's from the '70s era
This video is my intro to your channel and must say I'm glad I discovered you. Not knowing anything about you or your channel I admit I expected to hear a lot of bands that I knew. But, was I wrong. I knew none of them and that's what has me excited about diving into all of your suggestions and listening. Thanks for your knowledge and sharing it with us, the rockers!
Very excited to explore all of these! I was ready to thumb my nose at the obscurity classification, but these are all new to me. On the univibe pedal however, it’s pretty much Robin Trower all the way for me. Love what Hendrix did with it, but for me, Trower’s univibe sound is perfect.
Absolutely stunning collection, I am now 69 and spent a massive amount of time in record shops during the late 60s to 80s. Just as you mentioned I picked up the Parish Hall album in the import section and thought it had been wrongly categorised. Someone mentioned the Morly Grey below, the album The Only Truth is superb. Thanks for bringing back so many memories of that period.
I saw Andromeda quite a few times in London, the Roundhouse and the Lyceum, I saw so many live bands from 1969 to 1979 living in London, looking back didn’t realise how lucky I was! 😎
Me too also at the Lyceum ( the all nighters were awesome), really good live, the album though hugely disappointing. I recently listened to the album and I still feel the same about it.
I used to think I saw every record release album jacket in the stores in the late 60s/early 70s, but man, you just scoop me record after record. Zipper, Andromeda, Pooh Bah, Parish Hall. These guys had so much originality, energy and talent. I can't believe more people don't know about these groups. So few followers on Spotify. Amazing. PS - Kudos for listing the artist/title in big honking readable text at the bottom of the frame (VC Newbie presenter RUclipsr's take note of that and do it too, please)
Thank you for turning me onto some great bands!! I’m not a record collector, but am a CD collector. I’m a physical media guy but enjoy being able to check some of these out on iTunes. I’m listening to Witch-Lazy Bones as I write this and am blown away! Love it! Please keep posting videos like this!! Nothing better than new old music!!
Ah man! If ever I'm in North Carolina I got to shake your hand and check out Noble Records. There was only one band I was familiar with---Witch. The rest I listened to on Amazon Music and youtube, and there wasn't a single bad song. You threw 19 gems my way of bands I've never listened to, although I have heard of Parish Hall because I reside in California. So thank you so much brother.
Ahhh mate. great video! Just been listening to Parish Hall for the last week after watching your reviews. Then hit Dias Des Blues this arvo. Just amazing records. I love your passion and energy you have for your music. Really great to see your musical taste spreading globally and not just stuck in the states - which is easy to get caught up in as you have some cracking artists in America. If you have any more recommendations please do another video brother. Namaste x
Hello! From Southend-on-Sea in the UK! Just landed here 🙌 🤗 and really enjoyed your content and how you articulated the run down of these wonderful records. I see the love and passion for the artists and their output and enjoyed you playing demoing that Hendrix-y pedal layering too! Just subscribed and I will check out more videos! Cheers 🍻
I picked up Parish Hall as a Record Store Day reissue either in 2020 or 2021. Great record and cool to finally see something I own in one of your obscurity lists.
Hello! There is a lot of really good Ex-Yu music. Unfortunately it never really made it out of Yugoslavia, so a lot of collectors have never heard it. I have taken it upon myself to compile, basically, a list of top 10 albums (in my opinion), which some of you will probably like. 1. Bijelo Dugme - Doživjeti Stotu 2. Crvena Jabuka - Za Sve Ove Godine 3. Električni Orgazam - Letim Sanjam Dišem 4. Lačni Franz - Ikebana 5. Martin Krpan - Od Višine Se Zvrti 6. Pankrti - Dolgcajt 7. Parni Valjak - Lovci Snova 8. Prljavo Kazalište - Zlatne Godine 9. Riblja Čorba - Priča O Ljubavi Obično Ugnjavi 10. Sokoli - Marija Pomagaj (This is one of my favourite records of all time, so I definitely recommend to be on the lookout for this, since it’s probably the rarest of all listed above). Anyway, if any of you take a liking to Ex-Yu music, do let me know - there are not many of us out there.
Good stuff. Surprised you didn't mention Bob Daisley when you mentioned Kahvas Jute. From wiki - Robert John Daisley (born 13 February 1950) is an Australian musician, songwriter and author. He has collaborated on several occasions with Ozzy Osbourne, for whom he contributed bass, backing vocals, co-production and songwriting. He has also worked with prominent rock acts including Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Gary Moore, Chicken Shack and Uriah Heep, among others.
Two great British bands that were so underrated, the first being Manfred Mans Earthband, with their awesome album Angel Station, and the second, being The Groundhogs, with their album Split.
Great video! Thanks! Thruth and janie kick ass, I didn't know this band. I'm from Uruguay and your mention of Días de Blues, an Uruguayan band, made me happy. I hope you understand my English, greetings!
Thank you! I've already checked out some of these bands and they're absolutely incredible. Never would have found them without your great videos. Thank you!
Wow, I'd never heard of this Band but playing it now, and know who Bob Daisley is, Drum and Bass on this is great, can definitely hear Cream influences also.
@@LOFIGSD Bob's first important band. They only did the one album. The guitarist, Tim Gaze, was only 16 or 17 - he also played on another fantastic very rare and now very expensive Australian album ' The Goolutionites and the Real People (1970) by Tamam Shud (psych prog). Cheers.
@@lupcokotevski2907 fantastic playing for someone so young, especially considering they didn't have the resources we have now for learning, thanks for the info, I'm a musician and know plenty of guys, who are as good as many who became famous, it's also a hard life, which put me off doing it as a day job many years ago, I streamed this Album, the Production is good, songs are well constructed, for a first Album damn good job, I shared with the Bass Player in my Band, a good find
@@LOFIGSD Glad you enjoyed it. From all accounts, its tougher for musicians to make a decent living in the digital age of music production and distribution.
This is awesome, thank you i wrote all of these bands down and will search them out. I havnt heard of any of these so this is like Christmas Day. The last few years ive discovered bands like Budgie, Birth Control, Eloy, Captain Beyond, Atomic Rooster and Black Widow. So putting your list here and the list of the other two videos i have now 40 Bands/artists to discover! You rock man! Thanks!
Am a cd guy but love the obscure bands you show here. Got the Brown Acid series, Pebbles box set, and Hillbillies from Hell series. All quality cds with mostly "unheard" of bands/musicians/projects. Thanks for cool post.
I am so glad I found this channel. I am exactly the same way, where I try to find obscure hard rock bands and suck it out like black vans, and proud bands from the 1970s or late 60s some of the things you mentioned I have purchased from the internet.
You have some serious fans, I checked out every album mentioned here and RUclips auto filled every one. Took me an hour to get through, thanks from Colorado.
I just listened to Truth and Janey. You weren’t kidding when you said they were influenced by Hendrix! Big time. The singer even says “ yeah “ like Jimi. Definitely heavy guitar band. Thanks for the recommendation.
Great collection! Began discovering these bands around 8 years ago and buying their albums/CDs. I’m familiar with a number of these bands especially in the early part of this video. Very curious about some of these international bands you covered. Will have to check them out!
Nice Show My Friend!! I Never Get Tired Of Seeing These Gems!!! HEY I Was At The Store A Few Weeks Ago!! Picked Up Some Nice Re-Issues!! Also The "Ultimate Prophecy!! Copy You Had!! So Good!! Hope To Catch You Next Time!!!
I feel like you and @SeaOfTranquility should co-host a video. You both have around 80k subscribers and you both love that 70s hard rock like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, as well as having a ton of knowledge about great but obscure and overlooked bands. He’s like your brother from another mother.
As a big Uriah Heep fan, I'm always looking for similar bands. Zarathustra from Germany in 1970 was a great band that was heavily influenced by Heep. Zarathustra even did a cover of Gypsy in their live show.
Superb selection there. Have managed to make a whole playlist for the trip london to blackpool for the rebellion festival tomorrow based solely on those albums, cheers… great music.
Never have heard of these bands. Yet I always love to hear from a guitar player who knows a lot about rare music 🎶 finds. Great 👍 video. Great store, too!
Great recommendations. That Andromeda album is truly masterful. Glad to see Irish Coffee, WITCH of course (zamrock in general is truly under appreciated). Looking forward to checking out some of these other groups. Thank you!!
Brother Dylan- doing God's work. Many of us would simply never have the chance or enough time to discover half the things he would see as a shop owner/buyer/collector. Keep spreading the good word!
I haven't gone through all the comments and therefore don't know if someone mentioned this band. There was a Swiss band called 'Toad', you can find them on RUclips. These guys are pretty amazing.
Hi,Dillon just started to watch your videos from the beginning of this year and catching up on what I’ve missed,you are so right about these records. I was 15 yrs old when I started to buy records and had most of these you’ve mentioned but as you get older and more than a few parties later you tend to lose or leave lps behind.With the benefit of hindsight I’d have a good collection,Cannot justify paying for originals now that go for more then what I bought for a few dollars back in the early Seventies.Anyway love what you do one more thing I do have an original copy of Pooba let me in great shape.
Thanks for sharing all these 70s gems! My wantlist is just getting bigger and bigger after your reviews (also my budget expectations jeje). You've really got my subscription after mentioning Pappo. It would be really enjoyable to watch your review about Argentinian 70s/80s rock! Pescado Rabioso, Invisible, Spinetta, Pappos Blues, Aeroblus, Riff, Color Humano, Vox Dei. Greetings from Argentina!
Pescado R, Invisible, Spinetta...El Flaco rules.... Artau the best album of rock nacional. Vox Dei's La Biblia, Jeremias etc wow, what a wonderful tunes !!! with me, in my phone wherever I go.
Amazing, thank you will feature these on an upcoming Beatsville radio streaming showshow and give you all the credit and let all of our listeners in on your amazing record store!
I’ve watched loads of your videos, a record I’ve never seen you show. So a recommendation - climax Chicago blues band - a lot of bottle (1970) More on the blues rock tip
Excellent list -- although I've included songs from many of those albums on my Prog-Scure radio show these past few years, there were four bands on your list that were new to me. So thanks for the recommendations. Looks like our tastes in 70s hard rock are quite similar, so great video.
Im 53, and was always behind the times when it came to rock that I always thought was cool. Im happy to know that Im not alone. But, as a teenager, getting my (rocker) friends to love Sabbaths Sabotage album, or Uriah Heeps Magician Birthday album, amounst others, was a pain in the ass! I just love the late 60s/early-mid 70s rock thats untypical. Great presentation, knowledge, and being so down for what you obviously love! I hope youre my bunkie in hard rock heaven!
Never heard of Orang Utan and I lived through all the late 60’s and the 70’s rock. Almost a Humble Pie British kinda sound. Thank for bringing out all this old rock!, gives me something new to listen to.
Damn .... one of the best videos I've seen in a long while. Thanks bro! And if you read this I would be curious to know if you had a CORONER album in your collection?
Hey Man, just found your videos. Great stuff you're revealing. My era was the early '70s when i was in high school and i was into all the heavy bands then, still am. Thanks again-been searching for your recommendations and I'll be looking for more from you.
as always your videos are just top notch your knowledge and passion for music is second to none I will be checking these albums out much respect from London England
A couple Japanese bands to check out : Flower Travellin’ Band and Speed, Glue & Shinki. Lots of reissues put out in the past few years, but originals are pretty hard to come by.
Flower Travellin' Band is amazing. I had a friend who called it "Japanese 'fro metal." I liken it to more like Black Sabbath meets a screaming banshee.
@@jonsrecordcollection7172 SO far ahead of their time-elements of proto metal,stoner,Zep-all mixed in a pot of Joe's outta control "vocals". I've met with a lot of mixed reactions to the band over the years,the vocals usually being the deal breaker.
Love the fact that u included Socrates... U should definitely also check their 1976 album Phos (produced by Vangelis Papathanasiou) and Waiting for Something (1980) The great late Yiannis Spathas is one of the most underrated guitar players in history...
Thanks for the list! I have Poobah and Warpig, but there's so much more to explore! A great hard rock l.p. is "Dirty Diamonds" by the Pittsburgh, Pa band Diamond Reo in 1976. I got to see these guys numerous times. One of the best live bands. Check it out. May Blitz and Granmax are two LPs that I've not heard mentioned much, so I thought I'd include them as well. Rock on!
Dude currently I am just a broke college students but I wont be forever! Once I'm not so broke I will fly out to your store to buy so many records! You have done this to me you little punk! lmao I am jk btw. You're the best! You have aweken me to the endless posibility of amazing bands and records! I watched this video maybe like a month or 2 ago and I have listened too all these records. I now have so many new favorite bands and songs and beyond this video I have been looking for more and more amazing records. And I have found them too! Not all of it of course cuz that would be impossible. But thats just the point I am addicted and I want all of these records in Vinyl, thats why one day I will go over to buy many of your records and to thank you in person for this gift of music you have given me! Keep up the good work for all music everywhere and thank you man so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning, Dylan. Nice video as usual. And thanks for explaining that guitar vibe. I found an LP by a band KAK-OLA at a record pick in Vermont. I'm sure you have it as well. Any love for the Pretty Things era from around 67-70? Good psyche! Keep posting these knowledgeable videos!
I also was able to order a copy of The Oz Knozz LP. I went through and sampled all of those 20 recommendations with the exception of one I couldn't locate. And those were some great recommendations so thanks again.
That got you a new subscriber at least :)Much as I dislike following random people on here I luv obscure sound of(most) many types:) Saw the other top10 lists you made also :)Grew up with my older bro. shopping discount bins & I have lived all over the U.S. when d.j.'s still had a lot of power,also worked a lot of places where we always had cassettes from many people,kind of a work box mix often burned from l.p's so that made for a wide mix also. or even the local libraries took peoples collections then ,also after midnight or on weekend local d.j's at several radio stations in areas I lived played the obscure whole l.p's :)I did not collect music then I always went to bars,clubs and A LOT of concerts,shows! Will keep my ears open for more from you now thanks "Peace takes Practice" Rick
I still miss a mention of the best Deep Purple record they didn't make: Warm Slash by Tucky Buzzard, one of the most underrated bands of the seventies. Besides that, your inspiring listing motivated me to immediately buy some of the mentioned records. Thanks a lot. 👍😁
Couldn't sleep tonight so I'm pausing video and checking out each album, so far I've gotten at least one song of each album that's going into my early70's playlist
I just ordered a copy of Irish Coffee for less than $25. It's a reissue of course but after sampling a little on Amazon Music, I wanted to get it! Thanks for the mention of it. I may make a few more comments as I check out some of these other bands you're recommending. Brian in Fort Worth
Since watching this video, I've bought Parson Hall, Orangutan, and Poobah, based on your recommendations. I listened to them all for a few minutes first via YT to make sure they were my style. My quick and dirty review. All three have some absolutely kick ass tunes and are well worth the investment. All of them also have a few weaker tracks, and can probably compare to debut albums from favorite bands in that you can feel the bands in question still working out some of the kinks. It's really a shame that they never got the chance to build into the bands that are showing such huge potential here. An album that fans of this kind of music might like is Suicide, by Stray. Awesome album that I listened to a bunch of times and could never figure out why it never became a bigger band. I listened to it once a couple of years ago based on a RUclips algorithm recommendation. I have no idea if the band is as obscure as some of the ones mentioned here, but I'd never personally heard of them.
Check out Man from Wales - Mickey Jones and Deke Leonard on guitars. Also, a band from the 80s; White Lightning made only 2 albums. I interviewed their lead vocalist for Songfacts.
Radio Birdman were awesome live back in the day but they got the punk tag by pure virtue of their energy - both guitarists were streets ahead of any punk band I know of. Even though Lizzy had a huge hit with Boys Are Back In Town I still believe they were underrated - RIP Phil
Hahaha , here we go again ! I have only heard one , (1) , ONE! , of those records before. So here comes the afternoon of filling up those , previous created from your videos , playlists on my spotify. I love that ! Thx for this.
Interesting,,,,,, and great job. I was 10 years old in 1970 and 52 years later I certain and always have felt that the sixties and early seventies was the greatest time for music! And now you have proven to me that it was happening EVERYWHERE.
Some great albums there, I've got over 50% of them. There are loads of others such as - Captain Marryat - Captain Marryat, Pinnacle - Asassin, Someones Band - Someones Band, Mouse - Ladykiller, Eden Rose - On the way to Eden, Group 1850 - Polyandri, England - England, NSU - Turn on or turn me down, Euphoria - Lost in trance, Morly Grey - The only truth, P. F. Flyer - Play gianchetta jazz, High Tide - Sea shanties (so heavy it'll break your turntable). Message were a British band based in Germany so I suppose they could be considered kraut rock!
Really nice to see Morly Grey mentioned, one of the few bands where the bass work was at the heart of most of their tracks. The Only Truth is a briliant album.
Always learn something new watching Dilion. Have been collecting and selling vinyl for over 20 years but have nowhere near the knowledge you have dude. Keep up the great work, defo my fav vinyl youtuber.
Not "hard" rock, but Paul Kossoff's "Back Street Crawler" album has two tracks, "Tuesday Morning" and "Time Away" (which is a shortened version of "Time Spent Time Away") shows a brilliance we all but missed out on when he died at age 25.
isn't that record awesome? I still play it. And considering Kossoff's problems at the time I'm amazed he could put together a record that good. But in my opinion, that record he did Kossoff Kirke Tetsu Rabbit is unlistenable
@@TooSkinnyKenny "Time Spent Time Away" (the full version) and "Tuesday Morning" show his true brilliance - such a loss. I've been angry with him for dying ever since I discovered him and Free, just after he died.
Brilliant..thanks for the info,just listened to Orang utan ..excellent.I was 14 at the time and just seen Slade alive with Thin lizzy as the support act..so i missed this...cheers
Thanks Dylan......I'm writing these down as you go along. I guess I'm somewhat of a collector myself. I don't have as many as you but a pretty good collection I believe, and it's growing all the time. I love the rare stuff to.

These guys had so much originality, energy and talent. I can't believe more people don't know about these groups. So few followers on Spotify. Amazing. PS - Kudos for listing the artist/title in big honking readable text at the bottom of the frame (VC Newbie presenter RUclipsr's take note of that and do it too, please)
Thanks michael!
You can never have enough favorites thats what its all about.
Thank you for turning me onto some great bands!! I’m not a record collector, but am a CD collector.
I’m a physical media guy but enjoy being able to check some of these out on iTunes.
I’m listening to Witch-Lazy Bones as I write this and am blown away! Love it!
Please keep posting videos like this!! Nothing better than new old music!!
Care to share a SoundCloud playlist?
Ever heard of atomic rooster
Ah man! If ever I'm in North Carolina I got to shake your hand and check out Noble Records. There was only one band I was familiar with---Witch. The rest I listened to on Amazon Music and youtube, and there wasn't a single bad song. You threw 19 gems my way of bands I've never listened to, although I have heard of Parish Hall because I reside in California. So thank you so much brother.
I worked with the original bass player from Oz Knozz for several years. So cool to see you include that Ruff Mix LP in this vid!
As a convert to the Brown Acid series, I can't thank you enough for bringing these obscurities to light. Phenomenal.
Ahhh mate. great video!
Just been listening to Parish Hall for the last week after watching your reviews. Then hit Dias Des Blues this arvo. Just amazing records.
I love your passion and energy you have for your music. Really great to see your musical taste spreading globally and not just stuck in the states - which is easy to get caught up in as you have some cracking artists in America.
If you have any more recommendations please do another video brother.
Namaste x
That Mistreater album… whew! I’m loving that one! Thank you!
As an older vinyl junkie myself. It still amazes me how many great rock records i find baried deep in obscurity. Keeps me hungry to find more.
Me too hi from uk
Hello! From Southend-on-Sea in the UK! Just landed here 🙌 🤗 and really enjoyed your content and how you articulated the run down of these wonderful records. I see the love and passion for the artists and their output and enjoyed you playing demoing that Hendrix-y pedal layering too! Just subscribed and I will check out more videos! Cheers 🍻
Love this video, Dillon! Thank you for sharing some of your favs!
I picked up Parish Hall as a Record Store Day reissue either in 2020 or 2021. Great record and cool to finally see something I own in one of your obscurity lists.
Hello! There is a lot of really good Ex-Yu music. Unfortunately it never really made it out of Yugoslavia, so a lot of collectors have never heard it. I have taken it upon myself to compile, basically, a list of top 10 albums (in my opinion), which some of you will probably like.
1. Bijelo Dugme - Doživjeti Stotu
2. Crvena Jabuka - Za Sve Ove Godine
3. Električni Orgazam - Letim Sanjam Dišem
4. Lačni Franz - Ikebana
5. Martin Krpan - Od Višine Se Zvrti
6. Pankrti - Dolgcajt
7. Parni Valjak - Lovci Snova
8. Prljavo Kazalište - Zlatne Godine
9. Riblja Čorba - Priča O Ljubavi Obično Ugnjavi
10. Sokoli - Marija Pomagaj (This is one of my favourite records of all time, so I definitely recommend to be on the lookout for this, since it’s probably the rarest of all listed above).
Anyway, if any of you take a liking to Ex-Yu music, do let me know - there are not many of us out there.
Good stuff. Surprised you didn't mention Bob Daisley when you mentioned Kahvas Jute. From wiki - Robert John Daisley (born 13 February 1950) is an Australian musician, songwriter and author. He has collaborated on several occasions with Ozzy Osbourne, for whom he contributed bass, backing vocals, co-production and songwriting. He has also worked with prominent rock acts including Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Gary Moore, Chicken Shack and Uriah Heep, among others.
seen him a number of times, definitely with Ozzy once & also maybe with Uriah Heep.
Was he in Widowmaker also?
@@marksavage1744 Yes mate.
Two great British bands that were so underrated, the first being Manfred Mans Earthband, with their awesome album Angel Station, and the second, being The Groundhogs, with their album Split.
WITCH is incredible. Thank you for this video. :) 1971 is special to me.
Great video! Thanks! Thruth and janie kick ass, I didn't know this band. I'm from Uruguay and your mention of Días de Blues, an Uruguayan band, made me happy. I hope you understand my English, greetings!
I just listened to two of your picks, you were spot on. Thanks, I will be checking out more
Thank you! I've already checked out some of these bands and they're absolutely incredible. Never would have found them without your great videos. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Bob Daisley's bass playing on the Kavhas Jute album is fantastic. No wonder he went on to play with so many great bands in the UK.
He was amazing in that band and everything else he's ever played in for sure!
Wow, I'd never heard of this Band but playing it now, and know who Bob Daisley is, Drum and Bass on this is great, can definitely hear Cream influences also.
@@LOFIGSD Bob's first important band. They only did the one album. The guitarist, Tim Gaze, was only 16 or 17 - he also played on another fantastic very rare and now very expensive Australian album ' The Goolutionites and the Real People (1970) by Tamam Shud (psych prog). Cheers.
@@lupcokotevski2907 fantastic playing for someone so young, especially considering they didn't have the resources we have now for learning, thanks for the info, I'm a musician and know plenty of guys, who are as good as many who became famous, it's also a hard life, which put me off doing it as a day job many years ago, I streamed this Album, the Production is good, songs are well constructed, for a first Album damn good job, I shared with the Bass Player in my Band, a good find
@@LOFIGSD Glad you enjoyed it. From all accounts, its tougher for musicians to make a decent living in the digital age of music production and distribution.
Good to see your energy level and spirits are up!
This is awesome, thank you i wrote all of these bands down and will search them out. I havnt heard of any of these so this is like Christmas Day. The last few years ive discovered bands like Budgie, Birth Control, Eloy, Captain Beyond, Atomic Rooster and Black Widow. So putting your list here and the list of the other two videos i have now 40 Bands/artists to discover! You rock man! Thanks!
Heyyyy thanks so much!
you will love sir lord baltimore.
ruclips.net/video/zMzWXnVybeg/видео.html
Nice to meet you at the Witch show in Asheville tonight! Thanks for turning me on to them. Keep doing what you're doing!
I was just turned onto Warpigs and was listening today while at work, they sound so great.
Am a cd guy but love the obscure bands you show here.
Got the Brown Acid series, Pebbles box set, and Hillbillies from Hell series. All quality cds with mostly "unheard" of bands/musicians/projects. Thanks for cool post.
Hell Yeah! Oz Knozz! I grew up in Houston Texas and saw them quite a few times.
I am so glad I found this channel. I am exactly the same way, where I try to find obscure hard rock bands and suck it out like black vans, and proud bands from the 1970s or late 60s some of the things you mentioned I have purchased from the internet.
You have some serious fans, I checked out every album mentioned here and RUclips auto filled every one. Took me an hour to get through, thanks from Colorado.
I just listened to Truth and Janey. You weren’t kidding when you said they were influenced by Hendrix! Big time. The singer even says “ yeah “ like Jimi. Definitely heavy guitar band. Thanks for the recommendation.
Great collection! Began discovering these bands around 8 years ago and buying their albums/CDs. I’m familiar with a number of these bands especially in the early part of this video. Very curious about some of these international bands you covered. Will have to
check them out!
Here’s some more from international bands: ruclips.net/video/JpDhedZhXPE/видео.htmlsi=T0Hdr7UduZXVSLhN
Great video! Thanks for all of the great information and that was some great guitar playing!
Kahvas Jute! Well picked! There was an amazing hard rock/ prog / fusion scene in Australia at the beginning of the 70's.
Nice Show My Friend!! I Never Get Tired Of Seeing These Gems!!! HEY I Was At The Store A Few Weeks Ago!! Picked Up Some Nice Re-Issues!! Also The "Ultimate Prophecy!! Copy You Had!! So Good!! Hope To Catch You Next Time!!!
Brother where have you been all my life...lol these are all amazing. So easy to listen to. Music produced for the love of music. Thanks.
I feel like you and @SeaOfTranquility should co-host a video. You both have around 80k subscribers and you both love that 70s hard rock like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, as well as having a ton of knowledge about great but obscure and overlooked bands. He’s like your brother from another mother.
As a big Uriah Heep fan, I'm always looking for similar bands. Zarathustra from Germany in 1970 was a great band that was heavily influenced by Heep. Zarathustra even did a cover of Gypsy in their live show.
Superb selection there. Have managed to make a whole playlist for the trip london to blackpool for the rebellion festival tomorrow based solely on those albums, cheers… great music.
You're collection is incredible! Love it man!
Never have heard of these bands. Yet I always love to hear from a guitar player who knows a lot about rare music 🎶 finds. Great 👍 video. Great store, too!
Great recommendations. That Andromeda album is truly masterful. Glad to see Irish Coffee, WITCH of course (zamrock in general is truly under appreciated). Looking forward to checking out some of these other groups. Thank you!!
Brother Dylan- doing God's work. Many of us would simply never have the chance or enough time to discover half the things he would see as a shop owner/buyer/collector. Keep spreading the good word!
I haven't gone through all the comments and therefore don't know if someone mentioned this band. There was a Swiss band called 'Toad', you can find them on RUclips. These guys are pretty amazing.
Hi,Dillon just started to watch your videos from the beginning of this year and catching up on what I’ve missed,you are so right about these records. I was 15 yrs old when I started to buy records and had most of these you’ve mentioned but as you get older and more than a few parties later you tend to lose or leave lps behind.With the benefit of hindsight I’d have a good collection,Cannot justify paying for originals now that go for more then what I bought for a few dollars back in the early Seventies.Anyway love what you do one more thing I do have an original copy of Pooba let me in great shape.
Thanks for sharing all these 70s gems! My wantlist is just getting bigger and bigger after your reviews (also my budget expectations jeje). You've really got my subscription after mentioning Pappo. It would be really enjoyable to watch your review about Argentinian 70s/80s rock! Pescado Rabioso, Invisible, Spinetta, Pappos Blues, Aeroblus, Riff, Color Humano, Vox Dei.
Greetings from Argentina!
Pescado R, Invisible, Spinetta...El Flaco rules.... Artau the best album of rock nacional. Vox Dei's La Biblia, Jeremias etc wow, what a wonderful tunes !!!
with me, in my phone wherever I go.
Amazing, thank you will feature these on an upcoming Beatsville radio streaming showshow and give you all the credit and let all of our listeners in on your amazing record store!
Thank you for your passion. It has provided me with new groups to explore.
I’ve watched loads of your videos, a record I’ve never seen you show. So a recommendation - climax Chicago blues band - a lot of bottle (1970) More on the blues rock tip
Loved the guitar pedal demo, lol. Thanks for sharing your encyclopedia of knowledge with us.
Excellent list -- although I've included songs from many of those albums on my Prog-Scure radio show these past few years, there were four bands on your list that were new to me. So thanks for the recommendations. Looks like our tastes in 70s hard rock are quite similar, so great video.
Im 53, and was always behind the times when it came to rock that I always thought was cool. Im happy to know that Im not alone. But, as a teenager, getting my (rocker) friends to love Sabbaths Sabotage album, or Uriah Heeps Magician Birthday album, amounst others, was a pain in the ass! I just love the late 60s/early-mid 70s rock thats untypical. Great presentation, knowledge, and being so down for what you obviously love!
I hope youre my bunkie in hard rock heaven!
Never heard of Orang Utan and I lived through all the late 60’s and the 70’s rock. Almost a Humble Pie British kinda sound. Thank for bringing out all this old rock!, gives me something new to listen to.
Damn .... one of the best videos I've seen in a long while. Thanks bro! And if you read this I would be curious to know if you had a CORONER album in your collection?
Finally found my new outlet of musical discoveries. Especially from the past. Thank you
Hey Man, just found your videos. Great stuff you're revealing. My era was the early '70s when i was in high school and i was into all the heavy bands then, still am. Thanks again-been searching for your recommendations and I'll be looking for more from you.
as always your videos are just top notch your knowledge and passion for music is second to none I will be checking these albums out much respect from London England
A couple Japanese bands to check out : Flower Travellin’ Band and Speed, Glue & Shinki. Lots of reissues put out in the past few years, but originals are pretty hard to come by.
Oh yeah those are amazing!
Found an original Satori in my local antique store for 12 bucks. Cover VG+ record Near Mint.
I just picked up a few Creation records and have been looking for Satori by Flower Travellin Band.
Flower Travellin' Band is amazing. I had a friend who called it "Japanese 'fro metal." I liken it to more like Black Sabbath meets a screaming banshee.
@@jonsrecordcollection7172 SO far ahead of their time-elements of proto metal,stoner,Zep-all mixed in a pot of Joe's outta control "vocals". I've met with a lot of mixed reactions to the band over the years,the vocals usually being the deal breaker.
Ok. I worked at Record Bar back in the day & this cat's the real deal.
Thanks for recharging my rock.
Love the fact that u included Socrates...
U should definitely also check their 1976 album Phos (produced by Vangelis Papathanasiou) and Waiting for Something (1980)
The great late Yiannis Spathas is one of the most underrated guitar players in history...
That solo on the song Butterflies is amazing. Thanks for all of these gems.
Love your back wall! Made me feel like kid looking in a candy store window wanting to sample all of it.
Thanks for the list! I have Poobah and Warpig, but there's so much more to explore!
A great hard rock l.p. is "Dirty Diamonds" by the Pittsburgh, Pa band Diamond Reo in 1976. I got to see these guys numerous times. One of the best live bands. Check it out.
May Blitz and Granmax are two LPs that I've not heard mentioned much, so I thought I'd include them as well.
Rock on!
Thank You Very Much!!!!!! for expanding my musical horizons, can't wait to listen, looked up every single band, feel like a kid in a candy store...
Coming in with every excuse to break out the guitar these days, first the live stream now this! Love it
I need to scale it back 🤣(pun intended)
Dude currently I am just a broke college students but I wont be forever! Once I'm not so broke I will fly out to your store to buy so many records! You have done this to me you little punk! lmao I am jk btw. You're the best! You have aweken me to the endless posibility of amazing bands and records! I watched this video maybe like a month or 2 ago and I have listened too all these records. I now have so many new favorite bands and songs and beyond this video I have been looking for more and more amazing records. And I have found them too! Not all of it of course cuz that would be impossible. But thats just the point I am addicted and I want all of these records in Vinyl, thats why one day I will go over to buy many of your records and to thank you in person for this gift of music you have given me! Keep up the good work for all music everywhere and thank you man so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all your work!
Learn a lot each video.
Heads up... Samsara Blues Experiment from Berlin.
Fantastic albums! Waiting for your psych band and for your album. Noble Records in-store!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. Finding some real gems here.
Rock'n out to Oz Knozz now on Apple Music...Great band! Thanks for the recommendation!! Looking forward to sampling all the other bands.
I love the videos man! I look forward to seeing these rare gems get some light. Great stuff. \m/
Good morning, Dylan. Nice video as usual. And thanks for explaining that guitar vibe. I found an LP by a band KAK-OLA at a record pick in Vermont. I'm sure you have it as well. Any love for the Pretty Things era from around 67-70? Good psyche! Keep posting these knowledgeable videos!
I also was able to order a copy of The Oz Knozz LP. I went through and sampled all of those 20 recommendations with the exception of one I couldn't locate. And those were some great recommendations so thanks again.
One of my rarest albums is a mint copy of Frijid Pink first album, and a white label promo of the Yardbirds.
That got you a new subscriber at least :)Much as I dislike following random people on here I luv obscure sound of(most) many types:) Saw the other top10 lists you made also :)Grew up with my older bro. shopping discount bins & I have lived all over the U.S. when d.j.'s still had a lot of power,also worked a lot of places where we always had cassettes from many people,kind of a work box mix often burned from l.p's so that made for a wide mix also. or even the local libraries took peoples collections then ,also after midnight or on weekend local d.j's at several radio stations in areas I lived played the obscure whole l.p's :)I did not collect music then I always went to bars,clubs and A LOT of concerts,shows! Will keep my ears open for more from you now thanks "Peace takes Practice" Rick
I still miss a mention of the best Deep Purple record they didn't make: Warm Slash by Tucky Buzzard, one of the most underrated bands of the seventies. Besides that, your inspiring listing motivated me to immediately buy some of the mentioned records. Thanks a lot. 👍😁
Picked up a Tucky Buzzard album in Colorado on my honeymoon a few years back they kick ass
Couldn't sleep tonight so I'm pausing video and checking out each album, so far I've gotten at least one song of each album that's going into my early70's playlist
Impeccable taste sir,and to reference Zamrock makes it extra special.
Didn't know you could shred, too! Great vid and good guitar work!
I just ordered a copy of Irish Coffee for less than $25. It's a reissue of course but after sampling a little on Amazon Music, I wanted to get it! Thanks for the mention of it. I may make a few more comments as I check out some of these other bands you're recommending. Brian in Fort Worth
Since watching this video, I've bought Parson Hall, Orangutan, and Poobah, based on your recommendations. I listened to them all for a few minutes first via YT to make sure they were my style. My quick and dirty review. All three have some absolutely kick ass tunes and are well worth the investment. All of them also have a few weaker tracks, and can probably compare to debut albums from favorite bands in that you can feel the bands in question still working out some of the kinks. It's really a shame that they never got the chance to build into the bands that are showing such huge potential here.
An album that fans of this kind of music might like is Suicide, by Stray. Awesome album that I listened to a bunch of times and could never figure out why it never became a bigger band. I listened to it once a couple of years ago based on a RUclips algorithm recommendation. I have no idea if the band is as obscure as some of the ones mentioned here, but I'd never personally heard of them.
Check out Man from Wales - Mickey Jones and Deke Leonard on guitars. Also, a band from the 80s; White Lightning made only 2 albums. I interviewed their lead vocalist for Songfacts.
Have to thank you for introducing me to Kahvas Jute, now I need to work through everything on this video.
Radio Birdman were awesome live back in the day but they got the punk tag by pure virtue of their energy - both guitarists were streets ahead of any punk band I know of. Even though Lizzy had a huge hit with Boys Are Back In Town I still believe they were underrated - RIP Phil
Hahaha , here we go again ! I have only heard one , (1) , ONE! , of those records before. So here comes the afternoon of filling up those , previous created from your videos , playlists on my spotify. I love that ! Thx for this.
love these videos. i just made a spotify playlist of most of these albums and look forward to listening. thank you for sharing your passion!
Thanks I just watched your first three albums... Make that four... I'm listening to em now... Thanks
Interesting,,,,,, and great job. I was 10 years old in 1970 and 52 years later I certain and always have felt that the sixties and early seventies was the greatest time for music! And now you have proven to me that it was happening EVERYWHERE.
Some great albums there, I've got over 50% of them. There are loads of others such as - Captain Marryat - Captain Marryat, Pinnacle - Asassin, Someones Band - Someones Band, Mouse - Ladykiller, Eden Rose - On the way to Eden, Group 1850 - Polyandri, England - England, NSU - Turn on or turn me down, Euphoria - Lost in trance, Morly Grey - The only truth, P. F. Flyer - Play gianchetta jazz, High Tide - Sea shanties (so heavy it'll break your turntable). Message were a British band based in Germany so I suppose they could be considered kraut rock!
Really nice to see Morly Grey mentioned, one of the few bands where the bass work was at the heart of most of their tracks. The Only Truth is a briliant album.
Always learn something new watching Dilion. Have been collecting and selling vinyl for over 20 years but have nowhere near the knowledge you have dude. Keep up the great work, defo my fav vinyl youtuber.
Thanks Dave!
Not "hard" rock, but Paul Kossoff's "Back Street Crawler" album has two tracks, "Tuesday Morning" and "Time Away" (which is a shortened version of "Time Spent Time Away") shows a brilliance we all but missed out on when he died at age 25.
isn't that record awesome? I still play it. And considering Kossoff's problems at the time I'm amazed he could put together a record that good. But in my opinion, that record he did Kossoff Kirke Tetsu Rabbit is unlistenable
@@TooSkinnyKenny "Time Spent Time Away" (the full version) and "Tuesday Morning" show his true brilliance - such a loss. I've been angry with him for dying ever since I discovered him and Free, just after he died.
Great video man!!! The heart and soul of Hard Rock, thanks a million⚡
Brilliant..thanks for the info,just listened to Orang utan ..excellent.I was 14 at the time and just seen Slade alive with Thin lizzy as the support act..so i missed this...cheers
Thanks Dylan......I'm writing these down as you go along. I guess I'm somewhat of a collector myself. I don't have as many as you but a pretty good collection I believe, and it's growing all the time. I love the rare stuff to.
