Hi Chris, I have a couple of Terry Brooks and Strange LPs, Translucent World and To Earth With Love. Translucent World, I had a hard time with his voice on that one, but To Earth With Love was much better, both albums contain some great guitar work. I haven't heard the Raw Power LP, but I will check it out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these cool albums, and hope you have a great Christmas!🎅

Hey Chris, never heard of this one. Sounds pretty far out, feel the music! Cheers!

Terry Brooks and Strange are one of those outsider records where I think the appeal is his bizarre take on psych. He can't really sing and he's obsessed with soloing. Definitely not for everyone. Can't say I'm a fan, but I respect the oddity of it.

I am loving the guitars on that album but that voice, well…let’s say it’s not my favorite. Very cool album Chris.

I found the PDF file. I thought it was the 2nd editon. I have the 1st edition in book form. No PDF for the 2nd edition?

This is another fascinating release! I don't think I had heard of Terry Brooks & Strange previously. Thanks for the audio clips 🙂

Where did you find that online Acid Archives LP review?

Cool needle drops. I will be looking into Terry Strange. I have seen that Raw Power somewhere before. Thanks Chris!

Hi Chris.. I never heard of Terry Brooks & Strange but I love the Psycho Records.. The Daily Flash acid archives video I did was their Psycho release as well as reissues of ca quintett & the paisleys. Glad you did another acid archives.

Extreme rock insanity? I'm in! That's a fantastic collection of Terry Brooks records. I wonder if he even has copies of all those records himself? Disco Queen must really be interesting; I'll bet that 1980 tour was insane. Great entry Chris!

Hi Christopher, I have one Terry Brooks album and 2 singles, I need more. Very cool to see all of these, I knew you had a bunch. Thanks for showing all of them.

Hehehe hey Chris I take it you don’t care for his singing lol 😆 Wow you have quite a few by Terry Brooks ... cool45s

Chris, I agree with the book review of ''Translucent World''. I think ''Raw Power'' is the better, of the two. It sounds more ''focused'' than the first recording.

Hi Chris good to see you.....watching 👋🏻🎶

Does anyone have one (or many) of the sticker from Terry and Strange that said “Get Some Strange” then in small letters “to earth with love”. Not a vinyl sticker, more of a paper with adhesive backing. Just black on white paper. I did around a decade on a small non commercial FM radio station in Vermont in the 70’s and early 80’s and one day this album arrived in the mail. It got a real lot of airplay. Of course the sticker went straight onto my car. Somewhere I still have around a half of it, but would love to get a couple/few more.

Very cool version

Kirk is a wellspring of creativity at the piano and composition. He is an exceptional teacher as well, a standout influence in my life and by far the most refreshing patient luminary in the academia I was exposed to during my time in NYC.

Chris, Nurock's version of ''Giant Steps'' is fantastic, he offers an ''exploded view'' of the piece, he takes it apart and rearranges it, to come up with something ''brand new''. Kirk's piano playing reminds me of Duke Ellington's amazing keyboard stylings with it's hints of Ragtime, Stride and Chopin. Thank you for introducing me to Nurock and the Adamo label. Nurock's resume is very impressive, he wrote a piece, ''Listening Bach'', for Orchestra, Narrator, Chorus, 4 dogs and 8 guinea pigs!!!

Very interesting Chris, the stuff you pull out of your collection is always amazing

I think it took until about three minutes into the video before I could identify Giant Steps....or hints of it. Then at about 4:45 he really plays the main theme...seems like a great record, solo piano interpretations jazz standards. Thanks Chris!

cool keeping the thread alive Chris, l have one blues record on Adamo, never heard of Nurock... thanks for the introduction to this record

cool record, thanks for sharing chris!

Hi Chris, Very interesting music in this one!

RIP Bob Webb

You're a connoisseur and an aficionado.

I went to a Pandoras gig around 84. There was a guy walking around with a cape and cane. It turned out it was Sky Saxon.

Ooh I need to give this one a listen! Thanks man for a good video! New sub!

Great to see Sky still killing it 1984! This album is so underrated! I’m really digging it! Nice Seeds collection. 👍🏽👍🏽

Chris, awesome video, you have a great Sky Saxon collection. Mars Bonfire and Sky Saxon are definitely, two of the best pseudonyms in the history of Rock n' Roll! I dug side one and side two, I am inspired to grab a cd reissue. Sky Saxon worked with the Captain Trip label on the release of the 13 cd box set of Yahowha recordings titled, '' God And Hair''. My pal, Jim bought that box when it first came out, in 1998, I wish I owned it too. Sky, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, died on the same exact day, June 25, 2009.

Great overview Chris! I didn't know much about Sky's solo stuff so very interesting to hear. And thanks for keeping this great thread alive! Cheers

Acid archives diaries is alive and well! I look forward to seeing the next four. This one was great. Sky was a lot older than I thought he was....he would have been 28 when the Seeds released Pushin' Too Hard. For some reason I was thinking those Nuggets-type bands really were kids who practiced in their parents' garage. Interesting info about the Redd Kross brothers working with him. Thanks for showing the records Chris!

l know Sky Saxon, l don't know this album. from what l can hear it sounds pretty heavy and daunting.... good pick

I have a few Sky Saxon albums but I did enjoy the samples from Masters of Psychedlia. That is a heck of a Seeds collection Chris. I’m glad you still doing the Acid Archives as it’s fun to look into your collection

Hi Chris, great entry and info, seems like interesting and cool artist. Few years ago I was looking seriously for a copy of his collaborating album with german psych band Vibravoid. Album name is Poetry of Love and its pretty cool and has great long track called Look What The Bombs Have Done. Never got it though. Cheers, petri.

Everything I ever read about Sky suggested he was quite a character. Your videos are always fun and informative buddy-keep up the good work! -Gary

Hi Chris! I'm back for another lesson in music. Sky Saxon, of course, is new to me. Great album cover on Masters Of Psychedelia! I'm intrigued.

Always liked the Crescendo label....like what we are hearing, that live album looks pretty dang interesting ....cheers Chris watching

I love the Seeds, nice 45, I’m looking for Web Of Sound, I’ve not heard much of the Sky albums, that album sounds good. Also I’m looking for the Documentary on Sky. Nice show

First to comment. I've had my copy of Masters of Psychedelia since the 80s. I remember reading somewhere that the album is made up of two separate sessions. Both much older than 1984.

Hi Chris! Cool theme, I dig Ian Matthews, but haven't heard that album. Now I have to check out Randy's original video. Cheers!

Wow, so many covers and so many that I have never heard! The only one I have is the Rascal's on the Platoon soundtrack.

Okay, like I told Randy, where is the Musak version. We all know this was popular in elevators lol

I think I have the Booker T album Chris. Seriously. Is there an artist on the planet that you do not have in your collection? {smile} Always love your videos. BTW. The Rascals were one of my top ten bands of the sixties. I finally got to see them live in 1988 at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary Show at Madison Square Garden~ Rob/Boston

I’ve never heard of a couple of those.

It's hard to argue with Aretha's version. I liked the disco version at the beginning too. But Ian Matthews was probably my favorite - he really brought a lot to the song. Great response Chris - thanks for jumping in!

Chris, my favorite was the Ian Matthews cover version. The first disco version you played was okay, but not as good as Donna Summer's disco version of ''MacArthur Park''. Speaking of ''groovin'', yesterday I went to a thrift store and a record store, my main target was the new Hendrix box.'' Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision''. The box is of course, more music for groovy children! I enjoyed Robert Plant's cover of ''Darkness, Darkness'' and Mott The Hopple's version of the tune is another good one.

Wow Sam stayed true to the original! Aretha? cool now ... now she Soul it up!! 🎶🎶

Awesome!!! Just got home, and bam!! Something good to watch as I have lunch!! Ok watching my friend!! You Randy are the best✊🏻👏🏻

Paul Motian, one of the great drummers to come out of The Bill Evans Trio. Great obscure finds, Chris! Digging it!

the tangerine zoo, way cool!
