Thank you! You’ve been pinned!

[@Sbeals1978]

Thanks for this!

[@NomNomGohan]

Hell yeah, thanks bro!!

[@chandlerdickson3993]

You should make an intro to psych part 3!

[@matteusviitanen9475]

I'm a young kid from Finland and I just got a record player for christmas present and man your videos inspire me to listen anything and everything and u have expanded my music taste so much. Thank u for your videos! Hopefully I can visit your shop one day. Have a amazing new year!

[@raggeragnar]

I love this kind of videos. Especially since you talk about my favourite genre and era. The joy of listening the first time is hard to explain. Discovering , for me , new and unheard music , from someone who likes the same is an extra christmas present. Stay safe.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy them!

[@seamuscolgan7654]

That was seriously one of your best videos to date.... Thanks for the great recommendations, which I will all check out!! Have you thought of doing a Krautrock video?

[@sheddingmyvelvet]

nothing better then a great album nobody's heard of before

[@davidwilson1691]

I've got some albums to check out! Great video and always love to hear about a band I haven't heard of before.

[@MrRicketySplit]

Thank's man... you've given me some great recommendations. I'm a fan of what you're doing. Keep it up and keep em comin!

[@jjquinn2004]

Another nice video, Dillon. I must have sleep-walked through the late 60s/early 70s (my high school grades would support this) because I never heard of any of the albums you reviewed! But I'm currently streaming "Moon Blood" by Fraction and your comparison with Jim Morrison and The Doors is spot-on. Thanks for the info.

[@noblerecords]

I wouldn’t be hard on yourself, these were very obscure even then. Some only selling a few hundred copies. Thanks for watching!

[@gr0nky]

These recommendations are killer. I really enjoy these kind of videos which I find really useful to discover new music. Keep it up you’re doing an awesome job here

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man!!

[@maddogg63]

Love your channel! nice finds...I recently have been accumulating stuff I sold years ago.. Plan 9, Dischord, Touch and Go! all the gems let go way back when...but love the fact you are hitting multiple genres....

[@bf9616]

Just taking a cup of coffe and watching this music recomendations, thank you for the time you take to make this videos... Love them! I also can't understand, how you missed Bulbous Ceation in the first video, great album! ;)

[@OGeniusTheFirst]

Same here! Cheers to a prosperous New Year! 🥳

[@jojo-hf7wr]

I’m 20 recently started collecting vinyl and I’ve been digging deep into classic metal and a lot of your music recommendations because of you I know big star, white lion , and the feminine complex (listening to fraction currently insane stuff)much love hopefully will get a chance to shop in your store one day

[@Im_4Him20]

Love this series got me into your channel and i really like your videos because like myself you like all types of music!

[@ToddTBaker]

Been loving these recommendations. Great video.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@musicisajourney]

Enigma and Strawberry Path added to my hit list. Japan really embraced the heavy rock sound. Blurs Creation, Flower Travelin’ Band, Too Much… To suggest a couple more you might like, this time from Quebec, Dionysos and Morse Code. Both heavy psych bands of the early seventies who developed into prog bands. The first two Morse Code albums are under the moniker, Morse Code Transmission, which are harder and heavier than the next three albums which take on a strong Yes influence. Dionysos’s first album, Le Grand Jeu, from January 1971 closes which a killer proto-doom track, Agneau de Dieu.

[@ronaldmondriaan897]

Dillon All the Best for 2021 I Find it amazing you come with albums and artists I never heard of. I "hope you will keep on going this new year and surprise us with new unknown stuff. Greetings from Holland😊👍

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much !

[@monkeyfish8945]

I appreciate it when you splash the album info up there. Also your insight and knowledge of these treasures.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryanw2544]

I watch this guy's videos with a pen and paper! Has put me on to so much great music I've never heard of before.

[@theonewhoknocks4145]

Imagine clicking on and watching a recommendations list for such a niche subject, and then bothering to look them up. Great list man, will def check some of these out!

[@LeighStLouis]

Thanks for this, as always! Gonna have to get busy checking these out lol. Side note: got a reissue copy of The Millenium “Begin” white vinyl today! Can’t wait to start spinning

[@RetroReminiscing]

love your uploads!

[@williambaker3912]

I actually have the Scorpian Brothers album, haven't listened to it in awhile, will soon. I was a dj at the campus radio station in the mid 70's and went through the promo records that the station got from labels all the time. "Iko Iko" was one of them. The two that I will NEVER give up are Masters of the Airwaves (self titled) and Adam Miller "Westwind Circus", both amazing in totally different ways. Enjoyed the rundown Thanks

[@WeirdErnie]

Loving these recommendations.

[@walterpen371]

Excellent selection of rare albums. Most of these I've seen and heard of, thanks to my two coworkers who are big collectors. Also thanks goes to the multi volume book series of "PEKORAS". Thanks Dillon and wishing you and your family a healthy and prosperous New Year.

[@Matasky2010]

Can you explain what these 'PEKORAS' books are?

[@wryght]

Good to see you finally got a copy of Moon Blood. I assume you're keeping it and not selling it. BTW, that extra disc with the three songs are super rough versions of songs they intended to put on their 2nd album which never was (because they didn't have money for it; barely did for the first one). Anyhow, did you know that someone out of the UK has recently offered a picture disc version of this album as well? I have one, and there are still a few still offered for sale on eBay. You should get one, because I know you're a fan. Maybe one day I'll sell my original release to you!

[@alanward2331]

Great.selection, huge thanks for bringing these to my attention. 😀👍

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@bugolsson]

interesting suggestions and I will be bothered to check them out. Not really obscure but they are underrated, maybe check out The Bonnevilles (Northern Ireland) Beasts of Bourbon (Aus) , The Monsters (Switzerland), Crows (UK), Giuda (Italy), Immortal Lee County Killers (USA), Transistors (NZ), Monsternaut (Finland), Zen Guerrilla (USA) Cheers,. Keep on putting out the videos even if it is proving to be expensive!

[@titosanchez7902]

I see that Churchills album up in the left corner. Damn that's one of my favorites.

[@19splat91]

Love Bulbous Creation! My fav song is Hooked also. They were from Prairie Village, Kansas, which is just a few mins away from my hometown KC. I have the 2014 reissue which to my knowledge is the only time it’s been reissued so even that is worth about $100. Super jealous of your OG copy

[@OGeniusTheFirst]

That first cover has the Michael Mendel skeleton art that is in the inner gatefold of the eponymous “Skull Snaps” LP. Pretty cool 😎

[@noblerecords]

Yeah, I love the Skull Snaps album!

[@VTX666]

Thank you very much for the Fraction - Moon Blood recommendation! Amazing, amazing music. Love it.

[@noblerecords]

Enjoy!

[@kristoffer5771]

You are costing me so much money. Thank you for that. You are inriching my collection!

[@JohnMacRae23]

Nice picks, got em all. Triana's first 3 lps are stellar prog.

[@vinyllova9879]

Some really cool stuff to check out. I have Fraction and Strawberry Path and I had my eye on Ainigma for a while! Corpus sound really good as well!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@dennisalexander5580]

The cargo album under headphones is killer, what a recommendation, just wish I could light one up and listen to it👍 thanks Dillion, is this available

[@noblerecords]

It’s a great one! This is my personal copy, they are a little tough to find

[@kingofpoptarts321]

The best recommendations let’s get 50 parts in this series

[@thedebster]

The guitar work on the Cargo album is reminiscent of Tommy Bolin. Great stuff!

[@iamactionfigures]

Looks like you got that Asterix album hanging out in the back!

[@stillfirebellows]

That Fraction album is nuts!! Went and listened to it right after watching the video! Yup, Door Sabbath baby is accurate.

[@noblerecords]

It’s so good!

[@ke6533]

Hey Dillon. Can you recommend, give links to listen to, find me a NM copy, pay for it, send it to me in the mail, clean the record, put it on my turntable and play it for me? Anything less and I'm not interested.

[@noblerecords]

Hahahahah I’ll try my best!

[@kevinogracia1615]

Always cool... Thanks...

[@kevinkirkland4577]

McPhee! That's a tough pull even here in Australia

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

This may come as a surprise but I have none of those albums, shocker! Looking for you to do this with funk albums. I know there is funk in those shelves behind you. I wish you and your family a happy New Year. Steve

[@noblerecords]

Thanks Steve! I may do it with the funk. I don’t know as much about funk, but I probably have 10 I could show that are pretty obscure. Hope you had a merry Christmas as well!

[@jlelop]

Triana..."el patio" is a great Stuff...Marvellous record..Pioneers of Andalucia Rock Prog👍😀

[@nickmannion3879]

Brilliant...thanks. 2 hadn't heard of, 3 had heard of and have 5.

[@baron5432]

Great video, on the next part you should include andromeda 1969 (Pre atomic rooster). I also just won an auction for a NM copy of flower travelin band satori

[@dotsloops7486]

100 % amazing! All classic, Human Instinct! Yes!!!! Take care man! 🤙👍

[@noblerecords]

Thanks maaaaan I know this is in your lane!

[@miketkerrmusic]

Definitely would love to see a video on Spanish and Latin American bands!!

[@lucalone]

my recommendation: Jane: Sign No. 9 (1979) I don't know if it's rare, but it's a fantastic laid-back Krautrock( as you call it there in the US^) album. great guitar solos by Klaus Hess !!!

[@noblerecords]

Yep! I know Jane well! Great stuff!

[@TheJcburke68]

That Black dolly song by human instinct appears on an awesome score/soundtrack by Neil Finn and Edmund McWilliams from a New Zealand indie film called Rain. I bought the cd at a Neil Finn show and I don’t think it’s ever been pressed. I hope it is though because it’s great.

[@edgarsanchez1649]

Can you do a video of Shadok re-issues of obscure psych and prog!?

[@samson2848]

Just gave Moon Blood a listen and holy shit it kinda freaked me out.....I love it!!! Killer recommendation dude!

[@murraypickett9560]

I take it you're aware of the likes of Bubble Puppy and Hard Stuff who were the eventual destination of John Cann from Andromeda and Atomic Rooster. The Cargo album you mention is great with Summerfair being my fave of a very good bunch. Excellent call on the Night Sun Mournin' album on one of your previous vids. It's almost NWOBHM in places.

[@kingfunk9336]

Can you tell anything about spores label. I have a sealed spores label of lothar and the hand people. I bought it in the early 80s. Love the band! But have never opened the record. Thanks

[@Bayreuth1943]

12:18 I am a music enthusiast from the Deep South of Japan. Thank you for commenting on Strawberry Path. The seventh track “Mary Jane On My Mind” later became a huge hit in Japan, separately from the album, as the iconic tune of Hiro Tsunoda. He was the drummer of Strawberry Path but later led a successful career as a solo artist.

[@noblerecords]

I love Strawberry path, shinki Chen, blues creation, flower travellin band, all that!

[@hbosch3544]

Blues creation "demon and eleven children" incredible record!!

[@thejoojooman6538]

Although it's not on vinyl (or streaming) Bare My Naked Soul by Jesse Johnson. It came out in 1996.

[@javieryaguez6376]

I did not see the Triana lp coming 🤣🤣, great record BTW. Great video Sir!!!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@shawnsutherland7080]

1/10 - Moon Blood by Fraction. It’s an outstanding album.

[@jlelop]

I hope the 3th part !!!😀👍

[@polypetalous]

Awesome! thanks for video... new items on my playlist and an even longer Discogs Wantlist. Just sucks that my "playlist" progresses while my Wantlist only gets looooooonger and pricier... Still holding out for a Spermull... someday, yeah right! Thanks Dillon, keep 'em comin'!

[@noblerecords]

I almost included it in this list! Thanks for watching!

[@markspooner1224]

Nice, more homework for me (my favourite kind) thanks!

[@pml-starwars9043]

What are your thoughts on the Ozric Tentacles? They're an instrumental space-rock group that I've really been digging lately.

[@noblerecords]

I LOVE Ozric Tentacles! Super solid stuff!

[@andrewthegraciouslordrober327]

Pungent Effulgent is utterly brilliant. Erpsongs too - a bit heavier than P.E. hope you enjoy them.

Ever bring up the Sky King - Secret Sauce 1975 album? If so would like a link to hear your thoughts on it.

[@rhugh02]

Cargo is great, thx

[@mickohellofficial]

you should check the band Kingston Wall from Finland. they made 3 awesome progrock classics many don't even know about outside Finland

[@Majidowf]

It would have been awesome if you played a preview of the album like 10 seconds or something! Great videos and content anyways! 🙏🏽

[@noblerecords]

I would have but KZbin won’t let me! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@Jason-br5ow]

Oh, man. Triana is the shit. Thanks!

[@pinetopthomas4100]

Why does no one talk about Journey's self titled debut album that came out in 1975? Such a great album. Greg Rolie does all the vocals (no Steve Perry on this album or the second one for that matter) and keyboards. Neil Schon of course on guitar and there was a rhythm guitarist named George Tickner as well as drummer Prairie Price (member of the Tubes). Very cool progressive rock feel to this album. Nothing like there FM radio friendly classic rock stuff.

[@noblerecords]

Oh yeah it’s a good one!

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Because it bites

[@clydehoops6069]

What's your take on the band Witchcraft?

[@juancarlosriobo3704]

Dawn, "Triana - El Patio" is a iconic spanish album. How did a copy get to NC? haha. Have you tried "Nektar - A Tab In The Ocean"?

[@noblerecords]

Yes! Lone Nektar! Found this Triana in a storage unit in Charlotte 👍

[@brucefalk9057]

You have to check out a band called Bang ! They had 3 albums in the early 70's . First one is called Bang ! Second one is called Bow to the king ! Third one is Bang, Music ! They should have been so popular with a black sabbath, led zeppelin feel ! Because of contracts and couldn't get radio play they just fell by the wayside. Please check them out and I guarantee they will be on your next list !

[@noblerecords]

Oh I am very familiar! I have ALL 4 of their records. They made a 4th but Never released it. It got issued in 2011. Love that band.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Hahaaa 😂 you haven't been around here long have you? Bang 😄

[@unclesensei3543]

Try "Yours" by Forever More and "Epic Forest" by Rare Bird.

[@walkerheck3533]

Surprised you didn’t mention the Brown Acid comps from riding easy records

[@noblerecords]

Love those! But they are comps, not albums. I have them all!

[@stofopdenaald132]

I remember seeing that Cargo record somewhere on a record stand years ago on a fleamarket. Don't know what the price was, but something tells me I should have bought it 😅

[@noblerecords]

Yep! That’s happened to me too many times. “I should have grabbed that!”

[@stofopdenaald132]

Have you shown that cargo record before? For some reason it looks familiar I don't know if I've saw on your channel or not. Have a good day

[@noblerecords]

Yes! I have showed it a couple times before

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

@HALF MT no because that crossed my mind I had to double check with my head first before I asked the question...lol

Loving the cover on the left...does that say Mcghee?

[@noblerecords]

It’s a great one!

[@misinchantube]

@@noblerecords Definitely. That record also marked the beginning of a musical trend called Andalusian Rock (mainly 1975-1980), which I encourage you to investigate, and which I believe can give you great moments and better vinyls, some of which are highly highly valued.
