Great topic. I dug up a few vinyl LPs the other day that I have not listened to for a long time: The Doors - Waiting on the Sun Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge BJ Thomas- Reunion The Bee Gees - Horizontal. Cream - Fresh Cream Thanks !
I like that Clear Light album. Love Mr Blue. Funny how you also assigned personalities to the different members, as did I. I picture the first guy you pointed out wants to attack the cameraman, and the other guys are trying to calm him down (although some are more ready for the fight than others). Also, every copy of Queen II I own has that same wacky compressed sound, although I have come to like it.
I've seen some pretty beat up copies of Queen's News of the World, with that giant robot killing everybody. God, my sister had that album when I was a kid, and that album's cover and inner sleeve absolutely scared the living daylights out of me.
i thought Queen were the scary robot band and wouldn't listen to them.. until all the other kids started singing We Are the Champions. it was the song everybody would sing in school up until about 1980 or so.
Great video. Don't have the collection that you do. I do remember listening to a lot of those albums back in the day. There are two albums that I don't remember why I bought them . Phil Seymour from the Dwight Twilley band. And Moon Martin, Street Fever. Seymour, I think was for Presious to Me. But for the life of me, I can't remember what Street Fever had on it that I liked. On a separate topic. I just heard your troll interview. When you talked about playing the clarinet and taking apart 8 track tapes to fix them , I had to make you weren't talking about me. I couldn't repair my Here and There tape by Elton John . So I had to buy another one. Ahh memories.
That was a great video. I enjoy you listening to your records that you haven’t heard in a long time you inspire me to go back and look at mine and listen to him besides, look at them good show.
Those tracks are really good. This album is the weakest of the four albums with the original members, but it’s still very good. So I don’t agree with Robert, but we can’t agree on everything.
Love to have the time to do that. I put Georgia sats on the other night. Good album. 😀In progress of building a record/tv entertainment wall unit. So I’ll get a chance to choose The ones I want to hear not just the ones I can get to. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Roberta Flack's, First Take, is very special to me; this was remastered in 2020 (about when you did this video) and included some songs not on the first FIrst Take album; such as, an otherworldly 8-minute version of To Sir With Love. Actually her first five albums (produced by Joel Dorn) are special for me. Roberta is my very favorite female vocalist in ANY genre and has been since 1973 when I was eight years old. Thank you for mentioning this LP and your kind words about her.
When Frank mentioned 50. I went overboard and did 365 albums plus 52 extras. And since it added up to 417. I had to pick 3 more. I cant even find the damn thing because i dont know how to internet. So i named it #365vinylchallengeorsomeshit, but i am so glad i wrote down that entire list. Only screwed up posting the same album twice. I set no rules other then half have to be old ones i havent heard in years. Other half are favorites.
Apart from the more metal related albums such as Rob Zombie and Nazareth I have virtually all of these albums. It's 4am here in England and I just woke up due to being an old man and prostate etc (I'm 48) - loved this video and am now downstairs listening to the various artists album "The Hackney Musicians Collective" on headphones so as not to wake the neighbours - not played it for a decade and am just loving it "The moon in Hackney says yes, exactly" -- priceless ✌️. Gonna keep digging up some more albums I've not played for a decade Thanks for mentioning "Red Headed Stranger" by Willie Nelson previously, I bought it solely on your recommendation and love it!
Robert it's been my album to get me started for the day since I got it (that's starting at 8am not 4am like last night). I will try to keep any comments to a minimum but I love your posts and that you are not biased against any type of music and I especially that you mentioned The Trammps as you could do an entire show about "Scrub board" alone - what a record!!!! I will stop there but I don't in person as I rant on to oblivion even after my teddy bear has given up on me and that's why I love your show. Thanks for being you Robert ✌️
Since I like The Bosstone's stuff from around when that comp was released I decided to give their version of Detroit Rock City a listen, really does sound like they are phoning it in, uninspired and almost sounds like their first album where they didn't really know how to meld metal/punk with ska yet. I was going to recommend you some of their less poppy earlier stuff but then I remembered something, HORNS, HORNS, LOTS OF HORNS, nope, there's no way I'd get you into them, lol.

hard to believe you either listened to or loved Metal Machine Music. It's nothing but screeching feedback. And Reed wondered why he had so little commercial,success.
I'm surprised to see you mention disco, I thought you were a rock guy. But if you really like "Disco Inferno" you should check out the Tramps' second best known song called "Where The Happy People Go". Super disco.
You have to be a little bit crazy. The circumstances of my life have put me on the fringe for most of it. As such, I appreciate the wild abandon of insane art experiments like Beefheart's. As Willy Wonka said, "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
To enjoy Trout Mask you need to "get" Beefheart..., his vocal style vocal nuances etc. Once you get on the same "wavelength" or "groove" as Beefheart it all starts to make sense?
I have this album and totally agree with you. It sounds like mid to late 70s style of recording texture - sound of the drums, bass line and a bit of synthetic feel of the guitar sound. If you don't tell the listener one will not be able to name the guitar player. As a whole it doesn't feel and sounds like a Jimi Hendrix's album.
You can get the Grateful Dead album Anthem Of The Sun 50th Anniversary 2 disc set that came out in 2018. It has both the original 1968 mix and the 1971 mix. Obviously, the 2 mixes are on one disc. I forgot what the second disc had. Roberta Flack's Compared To What is a great song. You can feel the frustration in her voice. It's a great socially conscious songs I've heard on that album. It's jazzy, it's very gritty. It's something you would hear at a Jazz club. Especially in the late 60's. Someone in my family used to have this album and I remember coming access the first album when I was younger. I might've heard The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face but it's been so long. That song was in a movie called "Play Misty For Me" if I'm not mistaken. It's with what's his name. I can't believe I'm blanking on his name. You would probably know who I'm talking about. But yeah. One of the great songs I've heard from Roberta Flack. Did you know that she sang the theme song to Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family? I don't know if you've even watched an episode of that show but she sang a song called Together Through The Years.

10cc's The Things we do for love was the first pop song I learned how to play on piano. It was an easy one to play, my mom got the sheet music. we used to go up to G Schirmer in NYC just to get sheet music - a huge store that had stacks and stacks of printed music..
I have a WLP of Queen ll and it's a much better listen than any other version I've heard. It's not a sonic wonder by any stretch, but it does have balls
Hey Robert watched a bunch of your videos last night. Really enjoyed them. In one you talked about Pet Sounds and i was laughing out loud. Beatles VI is far better! I couldn’t agree more! Anyway you’re channel is good fun and ill def be watching.
I have a UK release of Queen II - My older brother bought it the year it was released (and I 'acquired' it a few yrs later) - Sounds pretty good, not amazing, but certainly not awful.
Gosh... I'd love to do a 50! You'rs is rather interesting... so I would never think of buying and others I have never heard of. How did you select your 50 considering how many records you have? Random Excel search? Anyway, just discovered your channel today and will be learning more from you! Thanks!
I chose them myself, mostly based on trying to get a decent variety where there weren't more than 2 albums that were similar. I have another video on this channel where I chose ten random albums by clicking "random"on the discogs website.
It was strange and disturbing to hear you describe 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', composed by the late, great communist folk singer, Ewan MacColl, as "elevator music". Flack's version is sublime. On Hendrix: only three of his posthumous albums have decent albums covers - 'Cry of Love', 'War Heroes' and 'The Jimi Hendrix Concerts'. 'Midnight Lightning'? Oh man, it's so bad.
Thin Lizzy, Fighting is great (Nightlife is even better), and Wild One is, in my view, their crowning achievement. Exquisite songwriting. But Johnny the Fox is their most underrated album. In my, admittedly unfashionable, view, none of their subsequent albums bettered it.
Nice concept ... I hadn't heard these albums, that I own, in 10 years (or more) ...

Clear Light...a harder version of the Association, What!!! That is a very odd description of this band. Mr. Blue is a psych version of a Tom Paxton song. The b and featured 2 drummers. Dallas Taylor, drums, went on to play with a lot of bands, including Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I really like Heartsfield an overlooked band.
If you have a need to keep those boxes all cockeyed sideways half hanging off those shelves, maybe think about getting some stiff boards to put under them to keep them from sagging. 🤘😃 I get it though 🤣😂🤣😂they don't fit sideways...they don't fit longways....damn it! They're gonna fit cockeyed!!!!! "You needed some extra head.......room 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
When it comes to albums where one side is known and the other isn't....A lot of people have heard all the songs on side one of Journey's Frontiers. Separate Ways, Send Her My Love, Chain Reaction, After the Fall and Faithfully all got played on rock/top 40 radio at some point. But nothing on side two ever got played on the radio.
Good one! There aren't many from the 80's like that because there's usually one of the hits is the first song on side 2. I just subbed to your channel. Cool videos!
Sorry, me again "Laid Back" by Gregg Allman and "Highway Call" by Richard Betts are 2 of my all time favourite albums You need to get the 2 cd version of "Laid Back" as the bonus material will have you creaming your pants but keep hold of your original copy as I am not keen on the remastered version of the album itself. I will now promise to try and shut up - am a massive fan of your videos but have been too scared to make a comment until now though as when you're wide awake at 4am you tend not to give a shit 😜
We Sold our Souls was my introduction to Black Sabbath also. It's a great album, but it is way too skewed towards the first two albums. And as a kid, I didn't bother with anything after Vol4. for years because of that compilation. How wrong can you be. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage are awesome for me - and yet the latter is represented by Am I Going Insane. WTF

Great topic. I dug up a few vinyl LPs the other day that I have not listened to for a long time:
The Doors - Waiting on the Sun
Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge
BJ Thomas- Reunion
The Bee Gees - Horizontal.

Waiting for the sun, what a great album
I like that Clear Light album. Love Mr Blue. Funny how you also assigned personalities to the different members, as did I. I picture the first guy you pointed out wants to attack the cameraman, and the other guys are trying to calm him down (although some are more ready for the fight than others).
Also, every copy of Queen II I own has that same wacky compressed sound, although I have come to like it.
Was spinning that Sabbath comp last night. Picked up the Walmart green vinyl on sale last year and honestly it is a really nice sounding copy.
I've seen some pretty beat up copies of Queen's News of the World, with that giant robot killing everybody. God, my sister had that album when I was a kid, and that album's cover and inner sleeve absolutely scared the living daylights out of me.

Those tracks are really good. This album is the weakest of the four albums with the original members, but it’s still very good. So I don’t agree with Robert, but we can’t agree on everything.
Just recently discovered your channel. You are right on my friend!

Laid Back by G. Allman is a top 20 of all-time record for me. Nice to see some Waylon Jennings mentioned! Can't go wrong with 70's Waylon!

Ok, what was that Trout Mask situation about?
Gregg's video for Midnight Rider was heavy on VH1 back in the 80s.i sang that version at karaoke in the oughties.
Since I like The Bosstone's stuff from around when that comp was released I decided to give their version of Detroit Rock City a listen, really does sound like they are phoning it in, uninspired and almost sounds like their first album where they didn't really know how to meld metal/punk with ska yet.

Trout Mask Replica is one of those albums that I not only hate, but I cannot wrap my head around why it is so well regarded.
Trout Mask Replica is one of those albums that I not only love, but I can wrap my head around why it is so well regarded.
"Lick My Decals Off, Baby" and "Trout Mask Replica" are two of the greatest records ever made!
It's because you are listening to it all wrong. You have to listen to it at the Same time as Zappa's " Lumpy Gravy"!!!
You have to be a little bit crazy. The circumstances of my life have put me on the fringe for most of it. As such, I appreciate the wild abandon of insane art experiments like Beefheart's. As Willy Wonka said, "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
To enjoy Trout Mask you need to "get" Beefheart..., his vocal style vocal nuances etc. Once you get on the same "wavelength" or "groove" as Beefheart it all starts to make sense?
I have this album and totally agree with you. It sounds like mid to late 70s style of recording texture - sound of the drums, bass line and a bit of synthetic feel of the guitar sound.

10cc's The Things we do for love was the first pop song I learned how to play on piano. It was an easy one to play, my mom got the sheet music. we used to go up to G Schirmer in NYC just to get sheet music - a huge store that had stacks and stacks of printed music..
Mine was "Stand By Your Man".
I have a WLP of Queen ll and it's a much better listen than any other version I've heard.
It's not a sonic wonder by any stretch, but it does have balls
Hey Robert watched a bunch of your videos last night. Really enjoyed them.
In one you talked about Pet Sounds and i was laughing out loud. Beatles VI is far better! I couldn’t agree more!
Anyway you’re channel is good fun and ill def be watching.
Thanks!
The Kansas LP Leftoverture is one where side 1 has all the hits and side 2 is basically unheard.
Love Waylon, cause I've always been Crazy!
The album cover for Gregg Allman's 'Laid Back' is one of the most chillingly hideous I've ever seen. I have to hear it.
Doesn't look like you opined much about Bad Company but my favorite song is Wildfire Woman from Straight Shooter.
Your commentary on Trump Mask Replica is transcendentally poetic.
I think Rush's Moving Pictures is one of those albums where side one is very familiar and side two isn't. All 4 songs are the big hits on side 1.
I now prefer listening to side 2 because side 1 is so overplayed
I have a temple of the dog reissue which is on 2 lp's and it sounds fantastic, can't imagine how they fit that much music on two sides
I have a UK release of Queen II - My older brother bought it the year it was released (and I 'acquired' it a few yrs later) - Sounds pretty good, not amazing, but certainly not awful.
Gosh... I'd love to do a 50! You'rs is rather interesting... so I would never think of buying and others I have never heard of. How did you select your 50 considering how many records you have?

The british import of black sabbaths greatest hits has a nice booklet stapled to the inside with a lot of cool pics ..
" this particular record , sounds... AWFUL!" Hahahaha
@55:53 Were you thinking of Led Zeppelin's How Many More Times?
It was strange and disturbing to hear you describe 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', composed by the late, great communist folk singer, Ewan MacColl, as "elevator music".
Flack's version is sublime.
On Hendrix: only three of his posthumous albums have decent albums covers - 'Cry of Love', 'War Heroes' and 'The Jimi Hendrix Concerts'. 'Midnight Lightning'? Oh man, it's so bad.
I agree with you about Roberta Flack
How many albums do you have (vinyl)? I’m approaching 1,000; it looks like you’re far beyond that.
Jimi Jamison was not the singer on Eye of the Tiger. That was Dave Bickler.
Thin Lizzy, Fighting is great (Nightlife is even better), and Wild One is, in my view, their crowning achievement. Exquisite songwriting.
But Johnny the Fox is their most underrated album. In my, admittedly unfashionable, view, none of their subsequent albums bettered it.
Robert you look distinctly handsome in form fitting black tee shirt like that’s scorpions tee

I would guess early or mid-40's from Montréal. Yeah, I did the same thing and went through the era of random songs on iPod-type devices for years.
@@RobertFithen right on point for age and location 😉
Rush's 2112 album. I rarely played side 2.
I've never seen Queen 2 with that label. Mine is the Elektra with the butterfly on the label. That's the one you need.
The red one is a later pressing.
Side One of Love- Da Capo has 6 great concise songs. Side Two has one long rambling mess called Revelation.
I've listened to it once.
Clear Light...a harder version of the Association, What!!! That is a very odd description of this band. Mr. Blue is a psych version of a Tom Paxton song. The b and featured 2 drummers. Dallas Taylor, drums, went on to play with a lot of bands, including Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I really like Heartsfield an overlooked band.
‘Thick As A Brick’ everyone knows side 1, side 2 not so much. Or even Tubular Bells side 1 is great but side 2....
Dylan has released about 39 studio albums...what more need i say
Rob zombie is dope. Love his Movies
I only have three of those albums and have no desire to listen to the other 47.
If you have Evol you need Sister as well.
Trout mask replica all I can say is keep listening...
The fact that you said his full name instead of the fanboy sobriquet “Maynard” got you a sub and a like.
Lol. Thanks!
If you have a need to keep those boxes all cockeyed sideways half hanging off those shelves, maybe think about getting some stiff boards to put under them to keep them from sagging. 🤘😃
I get it though 🤣😂🤣😂they don't fit sideways...they don't fit longways....damn it! They're gonna fit cockeyed!!!!! "You needed some extra head.......room 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
When it comes to albums where one side is known and the other isn't....A lot of people have heard all the songs on side one of Journey's Frontiers. Separate Ways, Send Her My Love, Chain Reaction, After the Fall and Faithfully all got played on rock/top 40 radio at some point. But nothing on side two ever got played on the radio.
Good one! There aren't many from the 80's like that because there's usually one of the hits is the first song on side 2. I just subbed to your channel. Cool videos!
Sorry, me again "Laid Back" by Gregg Allman and "Highway Call" by Richard Betts are 2 of my all time favourite albums
You need to get the 2 cd version of "Laid Back" as the bonus material will have you creaming your pants but keep hold of your original copy as I am not keen on the remastered version of the album itself.
I will now promise to try and shut up - am a massive fan of your videos but have been too scared to make a comment until now though as when you're wide awake at 4am you tend not to give a shit 😜
I haven't heard that particular Richard Betts album. I'll have to check it out.
"Let Nature Sing" is my highlight and I love it but it seems it's one of those either love or hate things
I hope you don't mind my comments, I know that you must get a load of shit sent to you and I don't want to waste your time
You're saving the planet by staying home listening to records instead of out on the street leading a life of crime.
No poly sleeves man?
No. Just on a few.
I could do it!
Your white-hot hatred of Styx continues to surprise me. Their last 2 albums are truly outstanding too.
We Sold our Souls was my introduction to Black Sabbath also. It's a great album, but it is way too skewed towards the first two albums. And as a kid, I didn't bother with anything after Vol4. for years because of that compilation. How wrong can you be. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage are awesome for me - and yet the latter is represented by Am I Going Insane. WTF
I didn't realize "(Radio)" was part of "Am I Going Insane"''s title and thought it was some kind of radio edit version on "We Sold Our Soul". lol
