Michael, the majority of the albums you showed are old favorites of mine, some formative sounds for me, in the 1980's. I saw Zorn play a solo set in Providence, a few years before he got famous with '' The Big Gundown'' album. Chadbourne played in Providence very often, my friends who were concert promoters loved him dearly. Yes, he played The Rake quite often, but I'd rather hear him play the damn banjo! Funny that he plays guitar and walkie-talkie on a Carla Bley album. Eugene makes money writing album reviews for the web-based, All Music Guide. Great attempt at trying to describe the sound of Derek Bailey, no one can describe it, not even Derek. Richie Havens, just like Judy Collins, could inhabit a song by someone else and truly and naturally make it their Own !

Eugene Chadbourne, another classic Michael! Sounds like a combo of Johnny Cash and Wall of Voodoo

Well that was a real trip Michael. I loved the sound samples. I can’t say it convinced me to buy the albums but it did give me a good feel for them. Amazing what you find and look for Michael. Very interesting. At least I knew who Richie Havens was. Thank god

Very cool to see a Chadbourne album showed. Not heard that one. He’s touring the U.K. next month so hoping to see him again. Particularly liked his work with Shockabilly. Jamaaladeen too..wow! That Kismet track is my favourite off that. Show Stopper & Renaissance Man are such classic albums by him too.

Great stuff you needle-dropped.& spoke of..in that same pond (or puddle?) Are musicians like Marion Brown's albums & Don Cherry's "Mu" album..whoeee..

i used to live down the street from Eugene in the 80s in Calgary.

No kidding, what a haul!

Wow Michael, you've gone way beyond my limit with those early selections! I did however like the needle drops of the Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Sonny Sharrock. I'm missing Green from my Hillage collection - as you said not up there with his earlier stuff but still very good. Only having Dolmen Music by Monk I probably need to get more by her into the collection. Hope you're fully recovered soon... take care... Pete

Hello Michael👋🏻glad to see you getting ur vitamins 👏🏻☀️...Green? Well now I actually like it better than Fish Rising and L? I traded it back in 😳😲🤭lol....and that Richie album is just an over looked gem in my opinion.....take care be and stay well✊🏻🙏🏻✨😎

Some outstanding finds Michael. Someone asked me if I heard abt your show. I told them of coarse we have similar taste. Take care art

Great scores! Sound Aspects is a great label. The Shah sleeps, etc. Is a Butthole Surfers song on their first release.

Wow Michael that had to be a thrill to run into a collection like that at your local. It’s always the best that way. I dig that Sonny Sharrock and would love to find that Braxton as I collect the Sound Aspects label. Funny the last convention here in Charlotte I ran into a dealer with a box full of Chadbourne LPs. I grabbed just the album with Frank Lowe Don’t Punk Out. The dealer told me he had known Eugene and got them directly from him. If I recall I paid under 10 bucks. I could not get out of there fast enough . Lol.

Really enjoy your videos! Thanks! Btw, The Shah Sleeps In Lee Harvey's Grave is a Butthole Surfers song

I came to Chadbourne via Zorn.

Michael were you hip to the OTB LP previously, or was that a more or less blind buy? Regardless, finding these LPs in your local Kenny Loggins shop must have been a shock. Was the shop owner rattled by this collection as it came in, I wonder? The Sharrock 'My Song' sounds like Crimson

Regarding the first record, it's a little upsetting to hear you use the phrase "take a moment to drink in this cover" when there is a toilet on the cover! This is a very unique collection of records.
