  • The first AnalogPlanet video in months is an hour plus worth of weird and unusual records in the editor's large collection. What makes an album "weird" or "unusual"? A wide variety of possibilities as you'll see in this amusing and entertaining video in which the website's editor literally lets his hair down.

    Thank you for sharing your love for vinyl . I lost everything that was in my fathers collection along with my grandparents. Just over 4000 pieces , my father was a serious audiophile . Everything in my life that made me comfortably numb was lost in a fire in Northern California last year , thanks for the memory lane ,

    You are a treasure! Please keep making videos! Not sure how deep your knowledge of the Sinatra catalogue is but would love to hear you break it down.

    From my recollection, my father (former employee at Capitol in production) explained the Frank Sinatra Lovers album. Frank hated that he looked strung out and made them revamp the cover. My only argument was that Frank had to have seen and approved the artwork before printing, but he argued his case. So, just food for thought, I suppose.

    Thanks for the new vid Michael ..great to see you "Still Alive & Well". By the way, in 1990 Mobile Fidelity release "Tommy" with the alternate version of "Eyesight To The Blind". It was Pete Townshend's personal original master tapes so that must be the answer to the mystery on your copy of the single disc "Tommy" you have.

    I think the weirdest record in my modest collection is Trimicron's "Version Intégrale", which is the longest-playing 12" record ever produced, clocking at roughly one hour per side. It has all of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos plus an organ piece, also by Bach. Glad to see you back, Mr. Fremer!

    Thanks Micheal. I have always enjoyed your videos. I’m also a man of some age with an out of control COVID haircut. A couple of my strange albums are Mom’s apple pie. With one being a controversial cover and one after they “fixed” it. Another is a copy of The Cars Candy-o. I have a copy with side B pressed on both sides. Hope to keep hearing from you.

    • @AnalogPlanet
      @AnalogPlanet  Před 3 lety +1

      hahaha. I think I have both or had both. I saw Mom's Apple Pie live and reviewed the show for either The Boston Phoenix or The Real Paper. The head line was "Mom's Apple Pie Eats it".

  • @grandpipco
    @grandpipco Před 3 lety +3

    I LOVED this video. Your collection and knowledge and your passion for your records is intense. One cool thing is that I have a lot of the oddball records you showed. In fact I have a couple of the Co- Star records and used pieces of the Maxie Rosenbloom disc for a track on my own CD.
    One prize in my collection is your record. I'm 61 of Italian decent and when I learned about your record, I searched and found a mint copy on Discogs. So, the title is "I Can Take A Joke". Remember I'm a wop; and the record, came from Italy, in an inverted PIZZA box, which I've kept because I love the story, and then it hit me... I can take a Joke!
    ...Oh ya, stop showing records that make me spend money I don't have.
    PS...a newer test track can be found on Cornelius "Ripple Waves" album trk 1. This is a remix of his "Mellow Waves" album from 2017. He does incredible recordings using space to it's fullest. He loves to use binaural mics. A truelly incredible and unique artist. You'll love it!
    Anyways keep spinning, you crazy MOFO. And Zappa is the best!

    Michael the hair looks good! Havent hat a cut in over a year myself and am a bit anxious about where to go and what to say! Speaking of weird records I have a copy of "I Can Take A Joke" on Kan-Tel label by Michael Fremer which repackaged a lot of your satirical ads for NE Music City, which I remember fondly on WBCN. I just found this in my late housemate's collection. The cover's beat but the disc is mint, no visible spindle markings! PS Keep the hair!
