10 Great LOST vinyl albums! Psych, Folk, Progressive, and More!!!

Managed to catch Neil Young on his "Trans" tour here in the U.K. back in '82, with Mr. Lofgren. Also saw Flo & Eddie supporting Alice Cooper in 1973. (My first ever gig!)

[@dotsloops7486]

That is amazing! I saw Flo and Eddie also. Incredible! 🎉🎉🎉

@@dotsloops7486 I seem to remember an ex-Prune being in the backing band, but don't quote me on that. The memory tends to be a little hazy after all these years.🤤

Green Lyte Sunday....so good mate. My pal has some of the rarest lps known to man but Battle Of The Bands is one of his absolute faves. Great list Dan... cheers Nige.

[@dotsloops7486]

Sometimes rare is good. Sometimes you just want Battle of the Bands! Ha! Cheers! 🥂 🎉

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

Great video! I absolutely love Death of a Ladies Man… it’s a criminally underrated album. I’ve never been able to get onboard with Trans… not listened to it in years though so will need to give it another go. I showed Battle of the Bands in a video about a month a go on mix genre albums. Such a great listen. Never heard of Green Lyte Sunday before… Album cover looks very cool! Cheers, Jack

[@dotsloops7486]

Right on Jack! Thanks for watching! 🎉😊

Great list - many titles to add to my "hunting" list - I'm new to your channel - love your commentary too!

[@dotsloops7486]

Thanks man! Welcome! 🙏

[@marcbrault]

I may be in the minority here but one album that comes to mind is Iron Butterfly Live released in 1970 (April, I believe). Great snapshot of the psychedelic era, only live recorded with the original band and that version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is an awesome mix of psychedelic rock and free jazz of the time. Well worth a listen IMHO.

[@dotsloops7486]

Never given it a listen. Will have to. Thanks! 🙏

Thanks Dan. I have been looking for a copy of Neil Merryweather's album. - Chris

I saw a concert video, I may still have it somewhere, called Neil Young Live in Berlin, I think. He did two songs from the trans album. I couldn't understand a word of the lyrics except for the line "I need you like ugly needs a mirror" on one of them. It's almost like that line was important enough they made sure you could understand it, even if you didn't get the rest of it. I thought it was funny. I still do.

[@BoomKazoo2112]

Great video! I have the Phil Manzanera and Neil Merryweather albums good stuff Need to check out that Green Lyte Sunday record Take care Brian ☮️

[@dotsloops7486]

Cheers Brian!!🎉🎉🎉

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

I inherited my parents collection and the only Neil Young album they had was Trans, also amongst all the Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings albums was the Nina Hagen - In Ekstasy album. Some really weird stuff that just didn't fit with the rest of the collection, i still wonder why or how they got there, but im glad they are.

[@stereo999]

cool vid & interesting list. there's records I've known and loved for years (neil young trans, roy harper stormcock, phli manzanera diamond head, turtles battle of the bands), records Ive seen around but never picked up, though I have other stuff by those artists (simple minds, leonard cohen), and stuff i've never heard that I am now intrigued enough to investigate (green lyte sunday, john martyn, thundermug). I have the other neil merryweather space rangers and I dig that. ~Don't have kryptonite

Krypto is amazing! Check out that John Martyn and thanks for watching! Cheers. 🥂

thank you for this video,the Manzanera album is fantastic,and its nice to have you back with these videos.

I heard Green Lyte Sunday many years ago and didn’t care for it. I don’t remember it as you described it. I have meant to get that Neil Merryweather album but I always forget his name.

[@dotsloops7486]

Grab that Neil Merryweather! A monster! 👺

[@clevebaker8399]

Battle of the bands is one killer lp !! Just listened to it the other day!! Awesome selection! Great job Dan!! Love it!!

[@dotsloops7486]

Love that one! ☝️ Thanks much!

So great to see you back regularly..Your knowledge and insights have been missed ..✌️

PS .. Early Simple Minds are so underrated but I'm a Scotsman so I would say that 😁

[@dotsloops7486]

That’s so nice! 👍 thanks very much! 🎉😊

[@ShamrocknRecords]

Well, I have 2 of the great lost records. Those being Leonard Cohen and Neil Merryweather. I guess not all is lost on me! Cheers☘️

[@dotsloops7486]

Yes! Not lost at all on you! 🎉🎉🎉😊

[@cosmicvinyl2937]

I love the term “Lost Albums”! In my mind these have to be records that may not have been reissued like the more well known obscurities. I mentioned an album called Warlock in my comment on your last video, which is more of a psychedelic soul LP. They would make my list of lost albums. I also mentioned the Human Leagues Reproduction LP which I would also throw in the list albums pile. Maybe even Travelogue. If you’re into any electronic type weirdness I’d throw in some Portion Control-Psych Bod Saves the Day Listen to the track Brain Scraper Death Dive! Mindblowing! Also in that genre any of the Foetus albums For example Hole by Scraping Foetus off the Wheel! The Foetus records feature the mad genius of JG Thirlwell! If you’re into power pop I’d almost consider Dwight Twilley Sincerely album a member of the lost albums category. Link Wrays Self Titled LP where he’s wearing the headband could be considered by some as a lost album. And 1 more that I personally find to be a fascinating album is a post punk opus by a band called Punishment of Luxury-Puppet Life! It is incredible! Any chance I get to promote that LP I’ll go on and on about it Check it out! Killer videos so far Dan! Peace ✨✌️👽✨

[@dotsloops7486]

Killer mentions! I almost added Human League to this video. Their early albums are killer my Cosmic friend! 🌌

[@gratefulblac]

how about the first two Patto albums on Vertigo Swirl; The Incredible String Band's slept on album - Liquid Acrobat As Regards The Air ( a folk rock masterpiece); Gil Scott Heron's Secrets album (very forgotten and ignored).

[@dotsloops7486]

I almost did Incredible String Band. Great choice!!! 🎉Thanks

[@progrocktommy]

Never seen that Simple Minds album before. Lots of great records you've shared. Take Care!

[@dotsloops7486]

Thanks very much! 🙏

[@michaelpdawson]

Stormcock is a masterpiece. I seriously need to get it back in my collection. Love the songs on Death of a Ladies Man, but it is not an easy listen. Diamond Head is fantastic...my favorite track is the Wetton/Chanter duet on "Same Time Next Week," what a vocal catfight. The Turtles album is very fun.

[@dotsloops7486]

Agree about Stormcock. It’s a monster of an album! Thanks Michael for comment! 🎉

As a teen in new Zealand in the 80s I listened to simple minds alive and kicking.but once I explored there early albums my mind was blown. Good stuff.

HI Dan, I used to be a big fan of Simple Minds. I sold everything except Reel to Reel Cacophony and New Gold Dream. Reel to Reel is my fave out of the two. Another very cool dark post punk UK album is Comsat Angels- Sleep No More. Good to see you dropping some video's. Ron

[@davidellis5141]

Sleep No More is my favorite album of 1981 a very good year for music. Martin L Gore covered Gone & Comsats got nice royalties for that.

[@dotsloops7486]

Cheers Ron! I think that Simple Minds early stuff is great!!!👍 Thanks 🙏

[@careyatchison1348]

I have Neil Merryweather's 'Space Rangers' (that cover sold me) but I'll keep an eye out for 'Kryptonite'. And I finally found someone praising the much under-praised Phil Manzanera! I love all of his 1970s & early 1980s output.

[@dotsloops7486]

Love Phil! What an artist! 🧑‍🎨. Cheers!

[@seekingathread]

Interesting choices. For my money I'll throw the Bobby Darin "Commitment" lp into the hat for lost but great records. He went by Bob for that one and made an excellent swampy funky rock record that I guess was his version of Dylan. Like this topic Dan!

[@dotsloops7486]

Thanks Dom, I love Bobby Darin and have seen some videos of him later in his career, I need to give that a listen, cheers!

[@dixielandfarm]

Trans - bold choice. I adore Battle of the Bands (as does my wife).

I have most of those records ...when I think of underrated records the first one that comes to mind is Brain Capers by Mott the Hoople.Also feel that Sweet Desolation Blvd and ELO Eldorado are really underrated as well.
