Wow! And, some of the lyrics on Foot Loose & Fancy Free....whoa....
Take the super funky 2nd song.

You're Insane.

I warned you, here they are...lmao

You must be crazy or half insane
Look at your eyeballs, street cocaine
You drink that white rum, you hit the roof
What do you expect, one-five-one proof

You drive your mustang down Sunset Strip
And in the back seat, a big black whip
Look at your lipstick, all 'round your face
Everything you do is in bad taste

Chorus:

Baby I think you're cute
But there's no substitute for love
Honey it's a crying shame
This whole mad town thinks you're insane

You take me dancing but I can't dance
but when I try to, you start to laugh
You shake your hips child like a rattle snake
You make me jealous make no mistake

You went to Woodstock and all that trash
Your generation is fading fast
You wear them hot pants, they're out of style
You like brown sugar, I think it's vile

(Chorus)

One of these nights child, it won't be long
Somebody somewhere who's big and strong
In a dark alley, a blood stained coat
He'll stick his long thing right down your throat

(Chorus)

Lord have mercy
Hey baby, I think you're insane baby
You got no brain, you're insane

Tell me baby, can you play harp
Can you play bass
Can you play guitar
Can you play drum
Then you're insane

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Love this song and especially who is singing it...1972

 

[The56Kid]

Man, not the best quality video - but man oh man..what a band Ozzy used to have in 1981. Randy Rhodes, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge......so much talent and what an amazing song. Plus, the keyboard intro by Don Airey (I think it's him)

Mr. Crowley - best Randy Rhoads solo IMO. Just chilling.

I love that one too! "Nothing But the Truth", "The Idol", "Strong As Samson" are some of my all-time fave PH tunes. "Butterfly Boys" was a stab at their record label, Chrysalis.

Always good to hear of another fan.
Not sure it got the recognition it deserved, as it moved away from the traditional Procol releases.
I have played this album to death.
Fantastic songs
I have just bought this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CN4MWNN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Which I didn't know about until checking the details on Discogs.

I was tempted by that, but I've bought the PH catalog so many times over at this point that I have given up on all these continued reissues. If they want to give us 5.1 mixes I'll happily dive in. (Can you imagine the Live with The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra album in surround?!?!) But other than that, I can't spend any more money on yet another Procol reissue, no matter how much I love those albums.

I'm hoping this new SM box of tricks will give me the Procol in surround I've been waiting for..

I went to see this show in 2014



Completely brilliant.
With the BBC Concert Orchestra

Finally ripped my favorite copy of Piper At The Gates Of Dawn! 2016 mastering by James Guthrie, Bernie Grundman and Joel Plante.

Wow! Look at this "expensive" vinyl box set.
Very, very cool...nonetheless. I bet it sounds great. Queen's albums sound remarkably "thin" and way too bright. I never could understand that....
I wonder if these versions improve on that? Or can it not be fixed? I don't understand all that....

I have that box. Quality varies a little bit from album to album, but overall I was very happy with it. Would have been nice if they had been able to use analog sources instead of digital, especially for the 70's stuff. Still, if you're a big enough Queen fan, love vinyl and have the money, it's probably worth it. Looks like it's out of print now. Last two copies to sell on Discogs went for over $500.

If you ever want to see/hear how amazingly talented and powerful and wonderful Judas Priest used to be live.....early 80's....watch/listen to this.
Their 70's output was simply astonishing IMO.

This is one of my all time favorite Priest songs. Victim Of Changes..... Whoa...

Sad Wings of Destiny is simply Priest at their best and one of the greatest metal albums of all time.

And, I have that one on vinyl as well...just need to find it.

Just ripped my dads copy of this one. One of my favorites!
