| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I finally secured the album Sweet Dreams And Quiet Desires (Avalanche Records, 1973) by the Country Rock trio Borderline, after learning of its existence from Hedley (Another Fat Bearded Man Talking About Records on YouTube), in his "Five Of The B... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @audioman74: In case you are a Jason Faulkner completist and don't know about it: Before Jellyfish, Faulkner was in a group named The Grays, who had one album on Epic Records. I heard it when it was released, but didn't like it enough to buy. Fel... | |
| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? After seeing NRBQ live a month ago, I ordered (on the band’s website) all their albums from the past ten or so years, catching up. They issued most of them on CD only, a few titles on LP. I got ’em all. If you have a chance to see NRBQ live, do i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @loomisjohnson: I’ll have to look for the Poco Live album. Deliverin’ was the last album of theirs I heard. By the way, in the early-70’s I saw them at The Fillmore (or was it Winterland?), and believe it or not the loudest guitar I’ve ever heard ... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @buckroa: A fantastic album, in my all-time Top 10. But I think a fair number of people here know about it. Less well known is the debut of L.A. Power Pop band The Beat (the Paul Collins led quartet). Have you heard anything by The UK group The R... | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? Only twenty dollar hookers ;-) . All kidding aside, my ex-brother-in-law just OD’d on heroin, found dead in MacArthur Park in L.A. (yes, it’s not a made-up name in a song, it’s a real park). He’s been an addict his entire adult life, a 3-strike g... | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? Lightweight. I shoot smack while I watch a hooker service me. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @jafant: Clapton put a carton of Music From Big Pink LP's in the boot (sorry, trunk ;-) of his car, giving a copy to every friend his visited in the summer of '68. That of course included George Harrison. George and Ringo became huge fans, and Rin... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. So true @larsman. At Rockfield Edmunds was able to replicate the sound of the 1950's Sun Records Rockabilly "slap-back" sound, as well as Spectors' Wall Of Sound, using a reverb plate to simulate the echo chamber Gold Star Studios had installed un... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @lloydc: Wrong. You really shouldn't believe and then mindlessly regurgitate everything you read. When The Beatles were introduced the crowd went insane, rushing the stage and in the process knocking over all the folding chairs that filled the fl... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @larsman: Very cool! I didn’t learn of Dave until reading about him by Greg Shaw in his Bomp! Magazine, around the time Get It was released---early ’77. Another life-changing moment! I made my way back to the first and second albums, being gobsmac... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Speaking of Bobby Fuller, the first site I visited after moving to L.A. on June 1st 1979 was Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, to pay my respects to Bobby. For anyone else planning to do the same, you have to look under the name Robert to f... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @jrosemd: Yeah, Greetings From Planet Love is one of the most amazing albums I’ve ever heard (I nominated it earlier in the thread), and by far the best parody of Psychedelic music ever done. Very creative, and spot on. Andrew Gold was a very tale... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @tylermunns: No, no mid-70's pressings. I wore out my original; In 1971 I was backing a chick singer who did a coupla songs from the album, and played the album a LOT. "Smackwater Jack" was a lot of fun to play. Drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Lel... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @tostadosunidos: I have a couple of Brinsley Schwarz recommendation for you, one being Dave Edmunds’ second album, Subtle As A flying Mallet. The last song on each album side is Edmunds backed by the BS band, performing a pair of Chuck Berry songs... |
