Day 25 - Trivial Pursuit - Play anything from your collection, and give us a little trivia about it
When Bob responds to a heckler who shouted "Judas!" on this record with "I don't believe you. You're a liar.", we should actually be directing that statement at this release. This wasn't recorded at Royal Albert Hall but at Manchester Free Trade Hall. The recording had been bootlegged extensively for decades using the erroneous RAH venue so it stuck, hence the parenthesis.
"Judas!" shouter John Cordwell explained: "I think most of all I was angry that Dylan... not that he'd played electric, but that he'd played electric with a really poor sound system. It was not like it is on the record [the official album]. It was a wall of mush. That, and it seemed like a cavalier performance, a throwaway performance compared with the intensity of the acoustic set earlier on. There were rumblings all around me and the people I was with were making noises and looking at each other. It was a build-up."

Day 25 - Trivial Pursuit - Play anything from your collection, and give us a little trivia about it
from Wiki
During the mid-1970s, Du Cann was signed to Quarry Management, who also handled Status Quo. When Du Cann presented some demo tracks to Arista Records, it was suggested that he record them in a studio with Status Quo guitarist Francis Rossi acting as producer. A group was assembled to record the album, including bass guitarist John McCoy, who later played with Ian Gillan; Liverpool Express and Original Mirrors and future Status Quo drummer Pete Kircher, and keyboard player Andy Bown who was signed to EMI Records but also performed with Status Quo, prior to being a full member in 1982. Ex-Atomic Rooster drummer Paul Hammond also played on several tracks. The band subsequently performed concerts in London, but Arista ultimately decided not to release the album
The album was eventually released in 1992 but not on vinyl until 2021

Day 24 - Chess - Play something royal
Of the various other choices, this one seemed to be the one to spin this morning prior to my last PT appointment for my back injury. I have a feeling the dr will take me off light duty when I see her on Monday.
Pink Fairies – Kings Of Oblivion
Polydor – PD 5537, 1973
Cut at Sterling Sound
Pressed at Allied Record Company

Had this on last night, so I'll play it again today.
Trivia - This album has the only song ever written (that I'm aware of) that is sung from the perspective of a salmon swimming upstream to mate.
Neil Young ~ American Stars 'N Bars

Day 25: Trivial Pursuit
Play anything from your collection, and give us a little trivia about it
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
A couple bits of Beach Boys trivia:
Though The Beach Boys were seemingly obsessed surfing, the only member of the group that actually surfed was Dennis Wilson.
Production wiz kid and musical savant, Brian Wilson was deaf in his right ear and thus produced his albums in Mono since that is how he heard them.
I Chose this twofer pressing of Carl & The Passions “So Tough” and Pet Sounds because it’s got an interesting label…
If yo look above the Reprise logo, it is clearly marked as “STEREO”, however if you the text under the bottom track it states, “This recording is pressed in monophonic sound the way Brian cut it.” and the album is in fact cut in Mono. It used to be a sly way to get a copy of Pet Sounds in mono for cheap.
Now for some unrelated SNL trivia.
I have a few versions of Trivial Pursuit but the SNL version was on top so I will go with that…

Internet tells me he was babysat by Joe Cocker, sold fish in his teens and fell from a third floor window whilst trying to impress a girl with a Spider-Man impression when he was 22.

Day 25: Trivial Pursuit
I’m a huge chart nerd, so why not drop some trivia on the most successful album era in Hot 100 history?
Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814
The most top 5 hits from one album (7, with all but one reaching the top 2) and the first (and only, up until last year) album to chart #1 hits in 3 separate calendar years (‘89, ‘90, ‘91)!
from Billboard Magazine, January 12th & 19th 1991:
Also, unrelated to Janet, here’s my classic rock edition of Trivial Pursuit (which I never play bcuz no one in my family outside my dad & I know about classic rock):

Doug Fieger’s older brother Geoffrey is a prominent defense lawyer in Detroit.
And for some personal trivia; this album was a huge influence on my early drumming aspirations. Expertly played power pop drums.
