[@SublimMedia]

Great picks. And even if Saturday Night… is not my bag I can’t ignore its pop brilliance. Thanks for sharing!!

[@jeffreysobczynski7113]

A lot of overlap with my collection - so glad you showed Spirit’s “12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus” - a classic! Also I just picked up an OG mono of Procol Harum. I will look for Peter Green and Ten Years After. Also there was a 2024 reissue of Neil Young’s Zuma that includes extras called Dume that is clean and good sounding.

[@SublimMedia]

Thanks for the support!! Man, I might take you up on that reissue. Thanks!!

[@martinthemartianvinyl]

You pretty much just showed my record collection 😅 All good stuff 👍

[@SublimMedia]

Have to be a pretty good collection!! 😄😄 Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mlblue5355]

Great selections! Each person should have different selections as their essentials. There were too many great albums released back in the day! But there were fantastic ones in your list. My favorite Sabbath album is Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, I think most would pick earlier ones, but as you said, they all sound great! I hope you got the Allman Brothers “Eat a Peach”! I guess you could do a part two, and a part three. Jimi Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” and other selections are probably screaming from your record shelves as well. What about essential albums that are a bitch to get? Too rare for the budget, but so God Dam Good!

[@SublimMedia]

That Sabbath is on my top 3. So damn good!

[@juliemusique-tn4dp]

hello from canada love your channel thanks very good taste

[@SublimMedia]

@@juliemusique-tn4dp thank you for the support!! 😀

[@tobbebonzo]

US first pressings of Neil Young’s Zuma and Tonight’s the Night sounds amazing. Never heard the german version though :)

[@michaelpdawson]

Oddly enough, I never see any of those early Bee Gees albums in the wild. I wouldn't mind getting a fuzzy original of Odessa if I could find it.

[@SublimMedia]

I love Odessa. Don’t know why I dident mentioned it. I have two fuzzy copies I think. One box and one gatefold. Great record.

[@AudioGuyBrian]

I added some VERY essential records to my collection last year. A few Rudimentary Peni records from the U.K., the Marilyn Manson Mechanical Animals (O.G. Press), the 3-Teeth new album autographed by all the band members, and an OG copy of Corrosion of Conformity's Animosity LP.

[@SublimMedia]

That is quite the pile. Congratz man!! I had a OG of Marilyn Manson Mechanical Animals. One of the records i havve sold that i regret. Not a huge fan but i think that record is a dark post metal masterpiece!

[@philbell5774]

Good to hear a shout out for The Bee Gees. I think too many people can't separate this phase of their existence from their massive success as disco gods. 1st is wonderful psychedelic pop with that dreamy 60s sound. They definitely need to be considered as up there with the very best as regards the psychedelic pop canon. The songwriting here is fantastic.

[@SublimMedia]

agree 100%. Should be talked about more often. Its like Chicagos first records compared to If you leave me now...

[@timholden3436]

A nice intro-collection. You did not mention that there are 3 versions of "Then Play On". The USA edition omits 2 of the 14 UK originals . The later European version changes yet another 2 tracks for "Oh Well" after it became a hit. This is the commonest version worldwide. The original UK obviously most collectible with the rarer 4 original cuts. I have a US MONO stock copy of the first Procol Harum album. Collectible but not recommended. The mix is dense with (obviously) no instrument separation. Does any proggy -psychy album (not garage) need a mono version? I agree that "Hard Road" is the best Blues Breakers album. As you like this Peter Green version, of the BBs, it is strongly recommended that you track down a copy of John's only 60's EP "All my life +3" from 1967 with Paul Butterfield. It is awesome and not too expensive. Also the German compilation "So Many Roads" which has some 7 Peter Green tracks including the 2 that are non-LP.

[@SublimMedia]

Thanks so much for the tips on Green. I’ll check them all out. I have been on a huge Green kick lately. I have that other version with Oh well to. I did three takes on this video before I was satisfied and I think I mentioned the other version in that but forgot. Did not know of a third version!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@TaylorArtandFun]

Joni Mitchell, Beatles. Led Zep. American Beauty. Hendrix. Doors would replace a few of these.

[@SublimMedia]

Yes agree 100%. This was me doing a video on some records I swapped in my collection so the title of the video came after the recording of it. 😀 But it seemed to be a popular topic so I think I’ll do a follow up and really dig out pure essentials.

[@TaylorArtandFun]

@ i see! It was great and I need to check out some of these

[@Carl-x8y3c]

You asked for a Bee Gees dark sounding record , then check out Saturday Night Fever soundtrack from 1977. 😅 Only joking. Nice records there.

[@SublimMedia]

hahaha. Yes that is a dark one indeed. Prob the darkest one!! =)

[@ΑπόλλωνΘηρευτής]

Almost all the records are first class, but I have never found anything nice on Dr. Sardonicus. My own German edition of Zuma plays excellently (unknown year of publication REP 54 057). My favs: Harvest & Super Session.

[@SublimMedia]

Great picks. Super session is a great one indeed and Harvest is probably one of the best records ever. Man it’s good!!

[@hanselmerson3366]

Hello, Ive got the most of the records you show here but not Horizontals by Bee Gees. So I shall try or buy that record. (Even seen Taj Mahal live at Kårhuset, Stockholm.....

[@SublimMedia]

If i have learned your taste in music thru the comments all the years i think i can say with most confidence that you will like Horizontal!! =) Man, that must have been a cool concert!! Thanks for comenting and for all the support Hasse!

[@deancronin6934]

I have a NM Harvest Cdn copy luckily, found it for $7 because the guy hated Neil lol so I chose that as a favourite but I’m biased Do you have any Vanilla Fudge? Cheap heat that needs more love in the VC

[@SublimMedia]

Haha. Yes you are bias!! 🤣🤣 Yes Vanilla fudge is another great band that gets to little video time.

[@m-howl5028]

Odessa and Trafalgar are both essential Bee Gees if you're a fan....

[@SublimMedia]

Odessa is one that I have had for ages. I love it. Have to revisit it soon. I remember I got Trafalgar probably 10+ years ago at a fair. Was so stoked when I got home but the first side had a big scratch so never played it and I think it’s still in my collection 🤣🤣 Need a new one!

[@therealhishaam]

Ok, how have i never listened to Then Play On???

[@SublimMedia]

I love discovering new old music.

[@therealhishaam]

@ that was a great video, right what I needed. The Taj Mahal record is fire too! That stereo is hard panned though, have you listened to the mono?

[@SublimMedia]

@@therealhishaam No never heard. Will try to seek it out. I just stumbled upon this in a big collection I bought so not a record that has been on may radar more than I had like a 70s reissue

[@tebpixels3409]

Crusade is my favorite Bluesbreakers album Mick Taylor shows what a brilliant guitarist he was, and it also have Keef Hartley on drums. For some reason this record seldom gets a mention, it's always the Clapton and Greene ones...this needs to end, Crusade is awesome 🎸🎸

[@SublimMedia]

So funny that you mention it. That record is in my "to be played" pile. Dont think i have ever heard it so ill give it a go and get back to you! I have no doubht that it will be 110% awesome!!!

[@tebpixels3409]

@@SublimMedia Please do, most people disagree with it being the best Bluesbreaker album..but that is their problem 🙂. Also if you're not pleased with the sound on German Neil Young pressings, i have most of the 70s NY albums in UK pressings and am as far as i can remember pleased with the sound on all of them. All the Procol Harum albums with Robin Trower is well worth owning, after he left not so much..:-)

[@SublimMedia]

@ Trower. What a musician!!!

[@chriskitsopoulos9851]

Then play on is blues mac.dont compere with rumours

[@SublimMedia]

Agree. Apples and bananas 😀

Everybody who is a vinyl enthusiast seems to have a youtube channel. And every single one has their opinion of the albums you should own. If you are an individual, you wouldn't follow any of these. Stop being a lemming and falling for this $***.

[@SublimMedia]

Agree!!
