My 10th grade English teacher brought a copy of this record to class one day, put it on to play, and told us to write. We asked her, "What are we supposed to write?" She replied, "Whatever comes into your head. Just write!" That experience unlocked the notion of creative expression in my brain and changed my life forever.
One of the things I like about doing Random Item is when it pops up something really cool that I forgot I have. A good example is this one that showed up today:
I went over to a friend's place not long after that album came out. I was only vaguely aware of Tom Petty's music and had not yet seen or heard of Damn the Torpedoes. So this friend said, "You going to love this record!" Was he ever right! That was one of those first listens that you always remember that simply knocks your socks off!

Hamburg session band circa 1969-71 involving producer Ch.
Icem. The records were deliberate attempts to entice Hendrix fans, and
although Jimi was not at all involved the releases gained a cult status
amongst collectors of guitar psychedelia. The incognito band was in fact
Sphinx Tush.

It is such a great record. My favorite Petty song of all time (well, I guess it depend on my mood) is on that record. Louisiana Rain is a song that gets sort of lost in all of those hits, but it's such a gorgeous tune.
Marion Brown, oh man! One of my favorite sax players. He had such great tone and the ability to balance melodic lines with amazing flights of creative free form beauty. One of the best.
Great record, Traffic is awesome. Do you have John Barleycorn Must Die? Also awesome and the original pressing is very good.
I had John Barleycorn Must Die. But it has gone missing from my collection along with several other albums from various moves over the years. I should buy a new copy. But I do have Mr. Fantasy. I love that one.

It is really frustrating when I have records go missing. It baffles me, especially when they are records I would NEVER sell. I had all of my AC/DC records disappear. I also had a signed Ultravox record that I personally had them sign and there is no way in hell I would have ever let that go. Sometimes I wonder if somone stole them, but I can't fathom any friends who've been over who would do that. It's a damn mystery and I'm still holding out hope that I just misplaced them.

For me I think it was the days I lived with roommates when I was in my 20s. I have had records disappear and other ones show up in my collection that I know I never bought myself - so at some point records got switched - maybe during parties or something. We used to throw quite a few of them in those days.
Not my favorite Sandy Bull Album, but a good one. Actually, I think all of Sandy's records are particularly exceptional, and his music was life changing for me.
