NOT BigSteve

Geo mentioned the other day that he had more records by Sun Ra than any other artist. That got me thinking – who is the artist with the most pieces in your collection? At one time I might have guessed James Brown, or the combined works of all the P-Funk configurations. I just counted – 54 pieces (that’s counting each disc of a multi-disc set separately).

Who is the artist who takes up the biggest chunk of your record collection? Are you sure, or is that just a guess? And do you know how many items make up this chunk? Is this in fact your favorite artist, or does this artist just have a huge body of work?

General Slocum has generously supplied the answers… you supply the questions. Greatest number correct wins FIFTY THOUSAND DOE-LAHRS!

No, wait… make that a coveted RTH No-Prize.

Here are your answers:

1. Referring to headphones as “cans.”

2. Twice, but only because the first one wouldn’t play.

3. As if!

4. “Sweet Home Alabama”

5. N/A

6. It gives me a headache just looking at the cover, but the last song on side one makes up for the rest.

7. Envelope filter.

8. I have to admit, I would just pretend I had, and hope no one asked.

9. Wally Cox.

While searching for a download of a song by a band I never knew anything about or heard another lick of music by other than a track I used to hear occasionally on FM radio circa 1980, I stumbled across the following Beatles-themed offshoot 45 release by said featured Mysery Date artist:

Mystery Date A-Side

Mystery Date B-Side

Take some time to enjoy these tracks. One of you might know who this is right off the bat; most likely someone will track down the artist’s identity. At the appropriate time, I’ll post the track that led me to this discovery.
