Michael, Eddie Gomez is a great bass player, I put him in the same bag as Miroslav Vitous. Jeremy Steig's aunt is anthropologist, Margaret Mead, his father, William was a cartoonist for The New Yorker magazine, he must have had an interesting childhood. Thanks for showing that Phil Ochs album, every aspect of that release is amazingly brilliant, the cover art, the lyrics, the music and the song titles. I listened to a good chunk of '' E.H. in the UK", I love Albert Lee's playing with this nice ad hoc assembly of gifted music- makers. They could have done a wonderful instrumental version of ''The Revealing Science Of God''.

Wow, that album cover for Jeremy and the Satyrs is fantastic. Another interesting batch of records - thanks for showing them!

Anytime I see Phil Ochs I am all in. Should get so much more attention, especial where we are in America today. Thank you Sir!!!

I use to have most of Al Stewart’s albums. I loved his historical songs. Every album he would go into some historic event that was always interesting. Now I just have his two popular albums. With Stewart the inner sleeve is a blessing. Very nice you helping out Herb Alpert fans by making sure they can get plenty of his albums.

KVRX 91.7 out of Austin has a UT student radio station whose slogan is none of the hits, all of the time. It can be fun to listen to at times. But there's something to be said about unpopular.

I liked your last video. Keep it coming M.P.D. Russia and Belarus....tooo bad for you.

Well, if you want more views, you can always sell your soul. It worked for Vinyl Richie. The vocals on the satyrs record do indeed sound like Graham Bond.

Hi Michael, Russia and Belarus never get to see my videos either (though they're not missing out on a lot there). Never heard of Jeremy &The Satyrs - they sound intriguing. Big fan of Al Stewart. Never seen that cover for the album - I assume that was the US cover. Stellar line-up on the Eddie Harris album -will definitely keep an eye out for that one. Cheers... Pete

Hi Michael, My very first Tim Buckley album was Greetings from LA and I followed it with Goodbye And Hello - two very different beasts! My collection jumps from Happy Sad to Starsailor so missing both Blue Afternoon and Lorca - should really rectify that. Really need to get the Mothers set but can't decide whether to get the 2LP or CD set (or both?). I don't know why they can't reproduce the full booklet for the vinyl version.

Morning from the Mid☕️👋🏻yep up, early riser let the day begin sorta fool that I am 🙏🏻👏🏻....E.H. In the U.K. Sounds reeely solid...I believe I’ve seen it before when I would crate dig.🤔🤔not done that for a good while.......the Al Stewart too, I only have one by him but he too is someone I saw a lot digging......Justin Hayward did (IMO) a solid Nostradamus track on a solo album...1977? I believe?...cheers brother Michael have a great weekend- 🎶😎☀️✊🏻🎶🚲☮️

Cool.I didnt know Jeremy Steig..was the Jeremy of Jetemy& The Satyrs.I had some Jeremy Steig albums back in the day .......................................................................................... A new release (released 2024) A guy named Kavus Torabi..Album titles "The Banishing"..Psychedelic definitely.. think piper at the Gates by Pink Floyd,Moody Blues .Anthony Phillips.( wit when he used Phil Collins on vocals)

Really hard to put these things in objective terms but this is an album with monumental importance to the way I approach music. I have a blue label Bizarre copy on vinyl and it’s one of my most treasured possessions.

I think a future video idea could be you reciting the bad Japanese translation lyrics. 😂 somehow they managed to make them dirtier and more surreal simultaneously.

Did not know that bit of info on the Montgomery. Very cool.

I bought the mothers box set. Got the Gayle, Graves, Parker box set on the way. Recently added a Rachmaninov box set to the collection. My record shelves are less than pleased.

How interesting on that Montgomery album with the packaging. The cover you got looks super clean. I guess at the time they needed to change up the cover design which now 50 years late we covet and collect. The Zappa booklet was very nice. Green Impulse label with big band music. I would love the percussion

Hi Michael from Friday evening ìnNZ You are so knowledgeable about Zappa who is also one of my favorite artists

Good morning Michael here in the Midwest ☕️👋🏻 interesting video, always enjoy the FZ reviews hehe Brown shoes always a fav since I first heard it on absolutely free album, and very cool info on Buddy Montgomery cheers to you Michael

Michael, that ''Silly Sisters'' album is a personal favorite of mine. I still have my OG copy of ''Ra To The Rescue'', I bought mine from John Gilmore after a Sun Ra concert. I think the latest cd reissue contains bonus tracks.

Here comes the Sun...😄👌

Okay, Enlightenment would be a pass for me. The first couple samples were not bad and I felt I could enter the Sun Ra Universe safely.

Let the Sun in.

Thank you Michael. I appreciate the musical samples. Not familiar with any of these except Omniverse. - Chris

Just hearing that Outer Space Incorporated reminded you of Crimson's "Islands" was interesting. I have a tough time figuring out some of Sun Ra's live stuff versus the studio recordings. Some of the live stuff sounds like studio tracks. <> I got to check out "Omniverse". I like the jazzier Ra. I was super bummed when I read that Danny Ray Thompson had passed on. He was always my favorite Arkestra member. <> Love the cover art on the Space Age Is Here To Stay. I am all over those releases. Wow Michael. This was one heck of a video. My favorite of the week. I really appreciate you sharing your Ra records and Ra-Wisdom with us~ Rob/Boston

I have Pictures of Infinity as well as that reissue and the sides are reversed but it’s the same recording.

While I love Sun Ra, I wanted to note one of my all time favorite albums is on the wall behind you. That would be the wonderful Silly Sisters album.

I loved this video Michael and a brilliant album. I rank this number 5 on my Joni top 10 - Its so beautiful. Although you have given me a fresh reminder and understanding of those two classic bands (or a mix thereof) that featured on the album. Your knowledge is fantastic. Thanks for doing this. Off to subscribe to your channel now!

Michael, wonderful dive, deep into Joni's private Ocean. I always feel something ''special'' when listening to her, you hit the nail on the head, ''voyeuristic'' is the right word. In some ways she reminds me of a ''female'' William Blake, a true Romantic, eyes wide open to see the Universe in the casual banter between a bar-maid and a patron. My first album from Joni was the live, ''Shadows And Light'', I had just discovered Pat Metheny. I knew Max and John through their work with Zappa. I bought the Joni Mitchell box which includes this album and 9 other classics.

Lovely recording. But I want to comment about "Last Tango in Paris." That's all, just want to comment...

Thank you Michael. I need to relisten and see if you have unlocked the whole album for me! - Chris

from my view, very timely choice...as I was just looking at my copy yesterday...today, inspired by your insights, I'll be playing it...thanks for sharing...

Hehehe lyrics dominated and Joni in the same sentence?? Oh yes....hehe kinda caught me off guard there Michael....Joni is a real gem I’m glad to have grown up w her and her lyrics......excellent choice here to profile (my opinion of course) looking forward to the next one, cheers

This was the first real record I ever bought. By that I mean I had my first halfway decent stereo, and I finally moved past buying cheap label compilations. from supermarket spinner racks. I've always loved that album.

Good one. Such a great record. I love the addition of Jaco on Hejira. ✌🏼

A great fav for me as well...got me through the summer of '80...elegant stuff, gorgeous.

Mud shark.

The Nice were a great band, and Keith Emerson is my absolute all time favorite keyboardist. Long Live the Nice and ELP !!

This album was definitely a highpoint in Frank Zappas live. Isnt it interesing that most artists are best in the beginning.. Greetings from Stockholm....

Very enjoyable Michael! Always interesting to learn more about the large Zappa universe, which I saw lost a member this past week with Tom Fowler passing.

Really enjoyed that, Michael. More deep dives, please... 😃(Just bought the MOI "Live at the Whiskey" CD version, sounds truly fantastic.) Greetings from Stockholm🎶🎸😎

Very interesting video. I really enjoyed it. I would like to see more videos like this but enjoy your other videos as well. Well done!

Hey Michael! I love the deep dives and always love seeing the different versions you have. This was a great one! I really like this album but I don’t dare play it anytime when my wife and kids could come in. lol. Your deep dive videos are wonderful and I always love seeing what you pick up because that usually introduces me to new things. Any video you put out I’m a fan of!

Hoopla, Oink,Oink.Keep up the good work.

Thank god for the disclaimer Michael. Michael your deep dives are outstanding. I don’t have that album but you really explained it well. Now am I going to go out and buy it, weeelll probably not but this was very interesting. You do an outstanding job on a deep dive.

Michael, you do a great job with either type of video. The deep dives are especially interesting because you pull out all of this related material, different versions and singles. Thanks, Chris

i know FZ fans who HATE this period . personally i love it, as it was my introduction to frank. ( just another band from la + Fillmore ) i have also bought the CD box set of the Fillmore shows. fantastic! cheers.

Michael, your deep dive into the Yes album, ''Tales From Topographic Oceans'' was a favorite of mine. You really polished up that Jewel! John Lennon wrote liner notes in red ink over a copy of ''The Mothers'' album. It was included on the inner sleeve of the ''Some Time In New York City'' double album. Unlike you, Michael, I'm not a musician, just a music lover/ listener, so your deep dives are very educational to my ears/ brain. In addition, your ''funny editions'' of 45s and full length albums are always a treat. I enjoyed this video, even though I never owned it. I did enjoy and owned, ''Just Another Band From L. A.'' The song ''Call Any Vegetable'' is a fun tune with nice guitar parts. Don Preston plays the mini- moog throughout ''Billy The Mountain'', much to my delight. Cal Schenkel said that the album cover art on ''Burnt Weeny Sandwhich'' was supposed to be used on an Eric Dolphy release, but that of course, never happened.

Really enjoyed this deep dive into this FZ album. You have my vote for more deep dive reviews. Cheers!!
