Albums that sound like they're comps but they're not: THE BEST OF THE SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET (actually their debut). Even more fiendishly: Pete Best's BEST OF THE BEATLES.

You were on the money with everything! I came from one KZbin video discussing it, to going online and reading it myself. Thankfully I ended up here though!

You want a bad me my last name is Widdess first day of school every year Wide Ass really and telarketers calling my mom my first and second wives hey great way to make a sale hi Mrs Wide Ass although my second wife it was accurate

In my opinion, Creed, Matchbox 20, the Verve Pipe and even No Doubt belong on CD, not vinyl records. I loved Matchbox 20 and No Doubt, but those band’s’ albums were made for CDs.

I was a huge Gang of Four fan back in the day and was fortunate to see them many times before their untimely demise in mid 83. There was a disease going around at the time that caused great bands to suddenly want to sound like the Pet Shop Boys. Both the Gang and Paul Weller caught this tragic malady and ended two fantastic bands. Years later New Order would succumb as well. Anyway id just like to say that as good as their first 3 lps are , live they were a completely different thing. Andy was such an underrated guitarist. Live he was a monster. I saw a show here in NYC in dec 1981 and it literally changed my life. I had already seen plenty of great live shows by then but nothing could have prepared for their live show that Dec night. The minute Andy started playing my jaw hit the floor and stayed there for the entire show. The wall of sound and feedback. The energy wow just wow. Although i had already seen the Clash The Jam and so many others i was just completely blown away by the Gang. If you like the lps i encourage you to try and find some live stuff from them. Amazing stuff. I do believe there is some footage right here on KZbin of them from those days. But I guarantee anything you can hear of that band live before mid 1983 would totally be worth your time. If you see their another day another dollar ep you should def grab that. The live version of Cheeseburger is worth the price of admission alone. Im Gonna check out these other bands you mentioned as well. Fun video as always.

I think Fu Manchu just released a new album recently

I remeMber nbc 60s n 70s peacock your hear the music then would say in liv ing color then 3 bells especially right before Johnny Carson

Looks like some great finds. And also, looks like I'm going to have quite a bunch of listening to do since it's all new to me.. (I heard of Gibbons previous band but never listened to it) Thank you!

Lake Shore Drive! Love that track! Discovered it from listening to old airchecks. Never heard it back in the day because it was never played in my area. Haven't heard the rest of their stuff but that is just as you say, kind of melancholy and upbeat at the same time. And the piano lick! Love how they play it slightly differently every time.

Wally Traugott (Wly in deadwax) also cut richard marx and GRP(cut from digital masters) jazz LPs and they sound remarkable even the digital GRP ones.

Awesome that you at least mentioned 24/7 Spies. Only have Harder than You and I love it. Bought it back in the day on CD. Early 90s in Houston funk rock was very big with many local bands like Sprawl, Bouffant Jellyfish, and Fleshmop.

I’m shocked you didn’t mention Music From the Elder.

Bravo, Robert! Your review of Two Virgins had me cracking up. Ditto on the Elvis disc. "Its a talkin' record!" LOL I havent listened to Trout Mask Replica, but I'm aware of its reputation. I might like it, but I might not. Guess I'll find out. Don't know if you've listened to Safe as Milk yet, but I found it it to be a faurky accessible album.

Fu Manchu is definitely still alive and kicking’! They actually just put a E.P. out where they cover Surf Punks, lol!

Robert, Have you any other Nebula albums ? From what I've found they have produced 10 albums and 7 EP's. Let me know. I just ordered Heavy Psych. I like it. Thanks man.

Good Stuff Robert!!! I Have A 2 CD Box Of The Moving Sidewalks, Has Some Singles And Demos Very Nice For A Psych Guy Like Me... Nice Booklet As Well!!!!

After I ask "Do you have any records or CD's?" at yard sales I then have to follow that up with "Rock and Roll from the fifties on. And you know what, you're right Robert, I don't consider Neil Diamond or Barbra Streisand R&R. After the seller has told me "Oh yeah I've got lots of Rock and Roll." Meanwhile while I'm wasting my time going through this pile of junk but hoping for a holy grail some guy at another yard sale is picking up a butcher cover

Does the LSD song sound different on thiz pressing vs the later one?

"Dr. Livingstereo I presume?"

Also, I love a yard/garage sale description that reads, " too much to list". Really? Can you just try?

aw man, I liked the Living Stereo logo on there. Esquivel had some RCA records with that. And Chet Atkins. A friend of mine married Ted Aliotta's daughter. Ted had a band about 20 years ago called the Groove Merchants (Maybe...?) Anyways, they made a CD and mispelled the name as Grove Merchants. LOL! Thanks for the vid.

I''m not a fan of the Humminguru. No disrespect intended.

Just checked out Lake Shore Drive it’s a cool song I wasn’t aware of in the UK. Could you do a special on Bubblegum stuff? I’m currently obsessed with the Grass Roots and 1910 Fruitgum Co. Maybe you like them too? 🤣

I liked Fu Manchu a lot in the late 90's too while everyone else was listening to god damn Creed and Limp Bizkit. I actually learned about Fu Manchu from a what's new in music and movies column in a porn mag.

I do love the psych and garage stuff you talk about though. I'd love to see your top 5 Cramps albums or something similar

Hey Rob! Or is it Bob? Feels like Bob. Anyway just saying the channel has quickly become one of my favourites. Great work. Most importantly I don't like 90% of the music featured. Those are the best channels. I have no interest in watching someone that makes videos about my favourite bands. The fact you make it interesting to an Irish Shoegaze head is a credit to you 👏

Checkout Atomic Ritual by Nebula that is one of their best. Also I have an original Heavy Psych on Tee Pee records and there isn’t that much dead wax

I knew someone that named their kid Creed after the band name.

EVERYTHING... including those rocking Andy Williams lps!

Fast-forward to the crate diggers of the next century, when all the Al Hirt, Mitch Miller, Ray Conniff, etc. albums have FINALLY gone away, they'll have all the Creed, Matchbox 20, & Verve Pipe, etc. vinyl to annoy them.

Fu Manchu probably had more vans then skateboards on the covers. At least it seems like it. I havent owned any legit copies in years. But i still blast the one tape i still got from the 90s. Return To Earth, i believe. Seems that for every 1 Matchbox 20 album. There is 2 Grateful Dead albums being pressed out of a 6 LP live album box set.

Brilliant work and show 🎉❤

🤘🤘

Agree 100% on the grooves. You do not need an ultra-high-end stylus to avoid inner-groove distortion. You can get an Audio-Technica Micro Line for less than $300 that eliminates it when set up properly. (No, $300 is not chump change for the average person. It certainly is not chump change for me. But it is chump change in the audio world.) Inner grooves will never sound as good as the outer grooves just due to the speed difference, BUT they can absolutely sound good. No reason to avoid them. I also agree on the "ironic" Living Stereo tag. Yes, the joke was kinda funny the first time it was made 30 years ago, but it is played out. Gang Of Four had a cool sound. Funky Dr Feelgood, haha. (The pub rock band.)

Hello from Germany, I first had to reduce the playback speed, very nice post, thanks.

Ive got that Nebula record and others from Heavy psych. Also Fu Manchu just put out a new record. And the reissued their live album Go For It

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day Robert also how is the weather today ❤😊

The worst thing about those shitty 1990s bands having vinyl pressings now is that they clog up the plants for work. As they're always working at max capacity imagine having to wait to put out decent vinyl for crap like Matchbox 20.

Great opening track on Solid Gold .. Paralyzed " Wealth is for the ones that want it " Bass player Dave Allen left after the album to form Shriekback with Barry Andrews from XTC.

Nebula....... gona check it out. Sorry I love the Living stereo header....... I am a shaddy dog collector. 😂 to each thier own.

Why Did I go back in time? That's why there's Coke and Pepsi! Aja, Pet Sounds, NASHVILLE SKYLINE, WOW! Not to mention Frank! And then Van! I can't stop laughing ........... You are a Hoot!

The batman stuff interests me I gotta hear the Carson song, I love the pet sounds insults hey Robert try listening to city boy the day the earth caught fire

I still have: 22 Explosive Hits(Canadian Pressing was different) Believe in Music(Canadian Pressing was different) Fantastic Dynamite Todays Super Greats(3 Record Set) 25 Country Greats Bright Side of Music Out of Sight Music Power Frankie Vali and the 4 Seasons Rock and Roll Greats Block Buster 36 Super Gold

Tangerine dream was one of the first psych albums I’ve heard that really helped me dive deep into the genre, I adore it. My holy grail would be their follow up album, Faintly Blowing.

Zabriskie Point OST got better later reissues. Sony/ Columbia did a decent bare bones reissue on CD and cassette in the early 90's, Rhino did an expanded CD reissue with more Pink Floyd tracks and some solo Jerry Garcia material in the early 00's.

Live Dates (1973) by Wishbone Ash.

And its Pride month a year later! I've been watching your channel but I'm just seeing this for the first time! Thank you Robert! I haven't seen any other of the KZbin VC, especially older ones, mention any of this! I am a 60-ish Gay record collector, rock and rollin', proggin' punk! I worked in record stores in the early 80's. You hit so many great songs and artists (Meg Christianson I saw live at the Santa Monica civic in 84!! I saw Sylvester there too! ) I still have quite a few of my original vinyl of them too. PS "Alpha Twinks"! LOL!! So spot on.

Live Bullet is the winner.

Hey Robert, Cool to see you hangin' out with Brother Brian. Was wondering if you discovered a collectors card inside your copy of the Pretty 7" ? I had my copy for years before I found the card inside. My card has a picture of Sage on it. There's probably other cards that were available. No mention of it on discogs. Let me know if you got one. Ron

oooh ! Manilow ? Captain 'n' Teneal, OLivia newTon John ?
