- I recently acquired these seven records which are all from different genres. Variety is the spice of life and all. They include a 90's pressing of Alice In Chains, a Chocolate Watchband compilation from the 80's, Mille Jackson before she was on the toilet, Bobbie Gentry in red, a jazzy album with a chastity belt on the cover, and more!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Robert also happy st Patrick's day ❤😊
Always nice to see a vid mention Millie and Bobbie..two of my fav female artists/singers. And yes the 70s albums of Millie sounds great...great production and I love how they recorded the rhytmnsection (at Muscle Shoals). And I can agree more about what you said about Bobbie.👍😊
I need to get more early albums from Millie Jackson, but they are hard to find.
Hello. I'm viewing from New Zealand and visited the USA in 1987. I was in San Francisco and Chris Issac was performing there. So I went along to the Haight Ashbury District to a venue called I Beam to see him. I was 27 at the time and was into his singing. Good gig it was. I'm 64 now and sometimes I play his music and still enjoy listening to him.
I only saw him once in 1996.
My 18 year old son has started collecting records. He has also decided that he wants to have the largest Pete Fountain collection. Every place we stop at without fail will have a Pete Fountain album for sale (for 25 cents U.S.) and we have to buy it. Lol so far he has 4 albums.
But whats really weird is that we have only ran across one bing crosby album. You would figure there would be everywhere. Anyway great video keep up the great work.🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!! I've definitely seen plenty of Pete Fountain records out there.
You are a Hoot! Mini Pads!..........A Chasity Belt! From this to little feet/ From sitting on the American Standard to Chris Isaak's .............."neck" ! Thank you for the "blue" reviews!
Another great video, Robert. Always enjoy your content.
Thanks!!
I like all of the AiC; the heavy and the acoustic and bought them all on CD when they were released but wow! $5 for an original SAP / Jar of Flies at an estate sale. You must have quickly paid up and then "got out of Dodge". Nice find! I've never heard Sophisticated Funk but Brother Jack McDuff's Moon Rappin' is my absolute favorite Blue Note Classic. 👍
From what I've read, McDuff watered down his sound for more smooth jazz sound of the mid-70's and albums like the one I showed aren't as well-received as his earlier ones which, as you probably know, are considered classics.
I bought that Alice In Chains album when it came out. I sold almost all of my vinyl in a garage sale before I moved in 2006 (yes, even all my Helen Reddy albums). My collection included all
my parents’ records and my older sister’s records that they didn’t want anymore. I started recollecting a few years after. I miss having all those records, but it was a big move 2000 miles away.
When I left our sale to take a break, my sister sold a bin of my records for a flat fee. I forget how much. But someone got a really good bargain. Oh well! 😂
I agree I did like those better rather than Man in the Box. The Facelift album kind of frightened me at first. 😄
But great finds, Robert. Thanks for sharing. I’d love to have that Bobbie Gentry album.
Someone did get a good bargain. You rarely find those anymore
It’s really neat that you still have your records and tapes from your childhood. I started wanting music when I was young as well. It wasn’t Kiss, but a whole tape case full of Olivia Newton-John 8-tracks by the time I was six.
Warner Archive still does MOD. Maybe that film will get a Blu-ray edition especially now that Amazon bought MGM/UA. All the older MGMs (before 1986) are owned by Warner.
Wasn't expecting the golden voice at 18:09. Got dam!
The Mimsy Farmer acid freakout scene from Riot on Sunset Strip is fantastic. My only copy of the movie was recorded on VHS off of Turner Classic Movies, when that was the only way you could see it before that DVD came out.
I remember hearing about the Chris Isaak Show forever but never got the chance to see it. Only recently I stumbled upon it on RUclips and binge watched it. Well worth it!
I didn't know it was on RUclips. Thanks for the info.
Robert, that Millie Jackson ditty would make James Brown blush. You're right, the best Beatles cover is ''Eleanor Rigby'' , the other two have cool arrangements but don't really gell. I'm lucky that I grabbed Bobbie Gentry's 8- cd box set, I think the first batch sold out. ''Hoy-Hoy'' is a fun compilation, ''Lonesome Whistle'', ''The Fan ''( live) and ''China White'' are three stand-out tracks. Little Feat were great in the studio and in the live setting!
That Bobbie Gentry box set must be great. I've never seen it.
Damn brother, that's the best thing Alice in Chains ever did.
Legend has it that when the telephone was introduced there was discussion in regards to the proper way to answer the phone. Hello won out over Hoy Hoy. Go figure.
Enjoyed bro.😊
I just figured Chocolate Watchband was a play on Strawberry Alarm Clock.
The AIC EPs were like their Led Zeppelin 3. Their Unplugged album is pretty good too.
Absolutely. I never thought of it that way before.
So, of course I had to stop your video to listen to back to the shit. Love stinks and muffle that fart definitely stood out. 😜🤣
I did a whole review of it in a different video about bad album covers.
I'm high as fuck and laughing my fucking ass off.
My Original Promotional CD 💿 Of Jar Of Flies Came With Replica Flies 🪰In The Jewel Case. It's My Favorite AIC Record & Nutshell Is My Favorite Track. Time To Fill Out The Brackets 🏀 !
I have that CD.
Robert 'The Velvet Fog' Fithen!
I love both Milie Jacksn caught up and still caught up is killer also
Awesome video bro
Thanks!!
Emmylou Harris did an excellent version of “Here, There & Everywhere.”
And Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 did an excellent version of Fool on the Hill.
I don't know if you should say this happened during my transition anymore lol. Having said that I no longer say I have eclectic taste, I say I'm genre fluid or genre non-specific. I found 2 albums by The Egyptian Lover this week, " On the Nile" and "State of Mind" for £2 each. I already had a few 12's by him but the albums are awesome. You literally start involuntarily body-popping and you don't stop until he's done. I love Bobbie Gentry man, I have Ode to Billie Joe, Fancy and the one she did with Glen Campbell. The latter was cheap lol. I need to get more of her stuff. Cheers Robert
Much of the instrumental Chocolate Watchband stuff were session musicians and not the actual Chocolate Watchband.
Yes, I would feel the need to submit that Millie Jackson album variant to Discogs. I have a whole box of records I need to add (which is growing). It is getting out of hand, haha. I actually had to force myself to take a break from The 'Ogs.
70s porn music? I’m all in on that lol. With a cover like that and the artist’s name, well you just have to lol. Caught Up is a brilliant album! Totally love Millie Jackson’s 70s records. 👍
Thanks for bringing Caught Up to my attention. I've listened to it several times now on Spotify and I'm obsessed. It's amazing. However, when sung from a woman's perspective, Summer (The First Time) just sounds a little creepy, well, to me at least
Glad you liked it.
Nice finds! Caught up is a masterpiece. A concept album, with all songs revolving around the psychological stages of a liberated woman in love but in an illicit relation. Great production, great pathos, great music. Chris Isaac's record is also great. This almost surf sound of the guitar, nice compositions and such emotion in his voice
I've had 'Still Caught Up' in my collection for years but have never managed to find a copy of 'Caught Up'. 'Still Caught Up' is narrated by the wife in the same love triangle so the two albums are kind of a concept album done across two records.
I didn't know about that. Now I have to get that album. Sounds really interesting.
Incredibly I have never listened to Little Feat. A complete novice. No idea what they even sound like. But so many people seem to love them, so one of these days I'll have to give 'em a listen.
Start with "Dixie Chicken".
I have that very Chocolate Watchband, except on CD, bought in 1989... for a best of, it's a gem.
Great finds. I have Hoy Hoy and the Chris Isaaks on CD, bet they’re good on vinyl. Heard Bobbie Gentry’s version of Elenor Rigby, didn’t know about that album would probably dig her tunes on it.
I've had the Chris Isaac CDs for years. The problem with the vinyl is that you can't take a long drive with it.
I had those two AIC eps on cassette and listened to it on my sony cassette walkman and candlebox's faraway. I think i bought them on a family camping trip in the poconos/amish land of PA. I paid $50 for a bootleg of jar of flies/sap. Just weeks before jar of flies was repressed for less. I dunno if sap was reissued solo-y. I have made a note to myself that I think i like Little Feat but not sure what the best albums are/good place to start. I will check out Bobbie G. I have never even heard of her. The Sophisticated Funk is an album for "men of culture".
I think "Dixie Chicken" would be a good place to start for Little Feat. Bobbie Gentry is mostly known for her hit "Ode To Billie Joe"
@@RobertFithen Bobbi gentry is the first country artist I've heard that I don't mind. Especially the Local Gentry Album. She's got some funky tracks on there. It's not like every modern country song where they mention some type of alcohol. Just turn on any country radio and first song that comes up, listen for mention of beer or whiskey. Almost never fails. Her Patchwork album feels kinda floaty like I just want to float away in a hot air balloon 🎈 or something while listening to it. It's a good feeling. Idk.
Then again if bluegrass is considered country, I do like a little bit of country in form of bluegrass. If bluegrass is considered it's own genre, then that's the closest I get. I guess it depends on who you ask.
I'd like to see a video of you doing all the types of metal. Metal was always this evil cousin of rock growing up that worshipped the devil, smoked too many cigs, had too much screaming or sounding like cookie monster for me to get into. I think I just gave into those stereotypes too much. But there's some bands that I liked but just denied myself enjoying. The amount of sub genres of metal seems like there's more subgenres then anything else. Maybe you already made a video like this and I just haven't seen it.
Been challenging myself to find an artist or two in different genres that I don't typically listen to. Jazz is pretty hard to find anything where I'm like ya that's the shit. I prefer the horns in ska music. I like some jazzy hip hop though and jazz rock. I saw your I tried to like jazz video. Pretty hilarious. I pretty much share the same sentiment. It's ok to not like something and be authentic then pretend to like jazz just for people to like you or to pretend you have this jazz swagger that jazz brings you.
Chris Isaak Show was a fun watch. The characters. SF as a backdrop.
yeah i liked the Chris Isaak show
Jar of flies is my favorite AIC too. My vinyl copy should be coming this week. Bummer I didn't get Jof/sap when it was reasonably priced several years ago, but at least they fianlly reissued jof
This reminds me that I have not listened to that Chris Isaak album in a very long time!
It had been a while for me too.
Hoy Hoy is great! Nice find. I still need a copy. Such a great band. They really nail that south New Orleans kinda sound for a band from Los Angeles
I had never even heard of it before I found the record. It goes well with their best albums.
Hey Robert, what is the best way to reach you? I want to know if you would like to be on my podcast The Gen-X Muse
My AI pick is Wild In The Streets.
Question: what keeps you from selling the Alice In Chains and buying a 25 dollar copy and reinvesting your money you made Into the collection. Is it the history? Color? Rarity? Obviously no wrong answer…just curious!
I'm not really into 90's reissues. I like having an artifact from the time, like a piece of history. If it was an album I did not like and didn't intend on repeatedly listening to, I would definitely sell it.
Cool finds .. I just a copy of The Power of Zeus at salvation army
Gospel!
Just because somebody’s stupid enough to pay $200 for an album that should be $5 or $10, I would feel guilty about charging somebody a lot more than an album is worth. I don’t know about everybody else.
If you ever run across a copy, I'll take it for $5 plus shipping.
