Whats on your turntable tonight?

The Alan Parsons Project

I Robot

Completely at the other end of the progressive rock spectrum from Patto. 

@reubent re-reading your question I realize you may be referring to something else.  “Background” is different from what I hear, which is clipped/distorted vocal and guitar notes on the impacts.   Will give that track another spin later and (re)report. 

David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name" 50th

@bkeske if you’re a Numbers Band fan (15-60-75), I received the remastered version (by Paul Hamann) of “Jimmy Bell’s Still In Town” on Exit Stencil records last week.  Excellent remaster of a live recording at the Agora (the Mistake was downstairs) in Cleveland on 16 June 1975.  They opened for Bob Marley and the Wailers.  You can purchase directly from the Numbers Band website.  The “Jackleg” LP is a Robert Kidney solo and also quite good.

Just caught this scrolling back today. Oh man, I might have to snag that. I have none of their recordings. Hard to believe these guys didn’t produce more and get more recognition. Excellant stuff. Thanks!

@big_greg I always liked Stormbringer. I mean, it wasn’t Machine Head - by a long shot. Ritchie wasn’t as great on it for sure. I remember as a spotty high school freshman the year it came out that we liked and admired Coverdale and Hughes. For a time anyway. Hughes maybe had more lasting appeal to us (his stuff with Tommy Bolin being most excellent). Mostly we just didn’t know about much other heavy rock in 1974 in our provincial isolation. Turns out there was a lot of other great heavy music out there that we just had no clue about.
