Phil O'Keefe Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm fairly sure I bought my copy of MMT in the early '80s on vinyl in the UK on Parlophone. Probably an import, but I never noticed if it was. You're correct that it wasn't released in 1967 in the UK as an LP, though. It might have been an import that you had... then again, I could be wrong too - but I've always heard that it was only out as a double EP (with only six songs) in the UK until the CD was released. Did your copy have the 1967 singles on side 2 - Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Hello Goodbye, etc? That's what we had here in the US, with the MMT film-related songs (Your Mother Should Know, Flying, Blue Jay Way, I Am The Walrus, Magical Mystery Tour and Fool On The Hill) on the first side of the LP.

Members gubu Posted March 20, 2019 Members Share Posted March 20, 2019 Guilty. Not just the guy, but the whole genre, with some few notable exceptions, David Bromberg being the most exceptional [video=youtube;V2CwkDm1tE0] I don't know Dave Bromberg. Bob Dylan's art transcends the genre in my and many other people's opinions. His ability to say so much with so few words is what won him the Nobel. When you consider the sheer volume and breadth of his output over his career, with a few stinkers in there for sure , yes, that accolade was well deserved. He synthesised at least a dozen new forms of 12 bar blues that are still popular to this day, and though his is muchsinging voice maligned, there are plenty of rock singers that WISH they could sing with a voice as raw and weighty as he found in himself in his early 20s. I could wax on for a good 10000 words here! Buy I'll let it at that. I know you think he's a shuck, basically. Like EVERYTHING else that we discuss on this forum, I couldn't disagree with you more wholeheartedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gp2112 Posted March 20, 2019 Members Share Posted March 20, 2019 Permanent Waves Moving Pictures Subdivisions While I wholeheartedly agree, I must say that their run started with Caress of Steel, and followed by: 2112, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres and through Signals (Which Subdivisions was on). That seven year period was their greatest era and all of those albums got serious airplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I saw them on the Fly By Night tour, opening for KISS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Red Ant Posted March 20, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2019 I don't know Dave Bromberg. Ironically, Bromberg was a friend of Dylan, and plays on at least two of his albums that I know of - Self-Portrait and New Morning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bromberg He synthesised at least a dozen new forms of 12 bar blues that are still popular to this day What? How? Examples, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gubu Posted March 21, 2019 Members Share Posted March 21, 2019 What? How? Examples, please. Listen to the 3 albums I listed earlier in the thread. 12 bar blues is by its nature a derivative idiom, but it had never before been treated the way Dylan treated it on those albums.

Killer Queen almost gets it there by otself, but IMO NatO is where their best whole albums start. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not helpful. Suggesting that I listen to 3 Dylan albums, especially his early work, is like suggesting I stick 3 safety pins in my face and "try to enjoy it". You have a specific example, ONE song where he "synthesizes a new form of the 12 bar blues"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
