I Went...SI--SI--SIRIUS...All The Way Home (again) #31

(a 20-minute jaunt)


"Talking About the Good Times" - Pretty Things / 45 single (1968)

This lost gem of a song was supposed to be on The Pretty Things 4th album ..."S.F. Sorrow"...but at the last minute it was released as a single instead.  The album itself is considered by many to be the very first "concept" album.  I've yet to hear it, so I don't have a dog.  But if this is just one of the songs that didn't make it onto that album, I'll take all the leftovers they got.  Yeah, I know I could stream it, but for some records, ya just gotta hold it in your hands and spin it for yourself.

"What About Me" - Quicksilver Messenger Service / "What About Me" (1970)

Every one of the Quicksilver Messenger Service albums I own, I found residing in a $1 or $2 bargain bin somewhere.  And I enjoy every one of'em.  This was their 5th album.  Pretty good bang for the buck.  How about any of you guys? (OWN)


"It's About Time" - The Beach Boys / "Sunflower" (1970)

For the longest time, I avoided Beach Boys albums simply because the album covers were so lame.  Unfair, but it is what it is.  If Roger Dean or Hipgnosis had threw down a nice design, no telling how things would've changed.  Anyway, “Sunflower” is a great album.  No Brian here. (Brian was mostly out to lunch.)  And that's okay because "Sunflower" really shines a light on just how talented and important his brothers Carl and Dennis Wilson were.  "It's About Time" is a nice surprise, isn't it?  Rockin' balls and pins.  Just fantastic.  This was The Beach Boys 16th studio album. (OWN)

"WILMA,  I'M HOME!"

Good stuff.
