I’ve been nominated by my brilliant pal Chris Estey to post 25 albums in 25 days that have had a major CREATIVE impact on me—just album covers without any explanation—and to nominate a different person each day to do the same.
Today I nominate: Rick Linie
Day 19:
The Bonzo Dog Band: THE HISTORY OF THE BONZOS (United Artists, 2LP compilation, 1974)
The Bonzo Dog Band: THE HISTORY OF THE BONZOS (United Artists, edited/shortened 8-Track cartridge compilation, 1974)
The Bonzo Dog Band: THE HISTORY OF THE BONZOS (Beat Goes On Records aka BGO, 2cd compilation, 1998)
I post today in tribute to my late friend, Mike Calkins, a Butte native who’d have laughed his ass off listening to this perfect slice of The Bonzos! (And perhaps DID; don’t know whether he was a fan.)
Purchased: 10 April 1981 in Butte, MT.
