Two great songs from Spooky Tooth, from the album ''The Mirrorr''. The genesis of Spooky Tooth goes back to a band called The V.I.P's, formed in 1966 by Mike Harrison on piano and vocals, Keith Emerson on organ, Luther Grosvenor on guitar, Greg Ridley on bass and Mike Kellie on drums. They published 3 singles, Rose Marie, Late Night blues and Stagger Lee and then Keith Emerson left in 1967 to form The Nice. And then The V.I.P's changed their name to ART and produced an album titled Supernatural Fairy Tales, and then became Spooky Tooth.
I was exposed to this back in 1975 by radio station KZEW in Dallas. I bought the LP and included these tracks on a mix tape I made in the fall of 1975 as I seemed to do so often back then. I still listen to that cassette. The song after "the Mirror is "Oh no, not Susan" From ELO's "On the third day" LP. I remember the side concluded with "Situation" from the Jeff Back Group. It is a little 90 minute Maxell time machine/dream now. Time were better back then.
How does anyone dislike? Beautiful time musically! I'm Alive/The Mirror incredible today as it was all those years ago. Thank God for great music to connect people!
this is one those lps that slipped through the cracks...but those of us who know...know it's a classic rock stoner masterpiece...paved the way for gary wrights and foreigners careers.
Foreigners? Like, the band Foreigner? I knew Gary Wright who wrote DreamWeaver was a part of the band but I didn't know that members of Foreigner were as well. Wow.
Heh hee Didn't slip past me. I must have been seeing into one of those cracks or I should say I wouldn't be the little Christian boy I became as a result of that crack in the window shade. much more to the story.
@@FreedomOnALeash1776 After this record Mick Jones left and put together Foreigner... listen to The Mirror and the 1st Foreigner back to back. You'll clearly hear the direction Jones wanted to go in.
I just did a quick search, and these tracks were released in 1974, just before you know what came out in '75/'76- yeah - disco. No wonder I love these songs!
@johndemars- Wars?? I’d say that is a pretty true assessment of the rock -vs- disco era!! But might I add that stuff that sucked in the say late ‘70s is better than most of today’s rubbish…. Rock on!!!!
CHOM played this album a lot. CHOM was THE station to listen to back then with a glass of CHOM juice on your speakers. I remember when they were CKGM-FM. I interviewed Earl Jives in his car back in 1974. I still have the tape somewhere! 😃
Thank you for posting both of these songs together... just the way we used to hear it on the radio in 1974. WABX and WRIF in Detroit always played the full nine minutes as a combo!
We're showing our age Carl... I'm a Motor City rock dog myself. WABX was a kick ass station, I liked it way more than the WRIF. Keep a rockin' mi amigo !!! 🎼🍺🤟
Happened to hear that one last week. Been a while since it played on my local rock station. This song is a real delight. The mirror really takes me somewhere else for a few minutes.
This whole album is incendiary, it burns start to finish...but indeed The Mirror is the stand out track, it really takes your mind on a nice little ride. 😀🎼🍺
zerbz Twizzlers , Interesting connection, I really liked both bands... Styx' 1975 "Equinox" is another great album, still featuring guitarist John Curulawski!
Love this Album. I have it on 4 different labels. Someone still needs to do a better job on a Remaster!! Someone Please!! Mick Jones after this release in 74,went on to form Foreigner & release there debut album in 1977!!

Danke für. Diesen Song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't remember that but I do remember ckgm FM before they switched to chom FM. Those days were so special!
Love the sound

Nowt wrong wrong with a bit. Disco
Songs like this were good ammunition for us rockers during the disco wars of the late 70's.
@johndemars- Wars?? I’d say that is a pretty true assessment of the rock -vs- disco era!! But might I add that stuff that sucked in the say late ‘70s is better than most of today’s rubbish…. Rock on!!!!
The CHOM ghost sent me here via 1355 Green Ave.
They helped me through my insomniac teenage years.. This was a great middle of the night tune.

@@rmcelligThe only radio station in Quebec that pushed good music. The rest were commercial craps.
do you remember CKGM FM'S birthday bash at Nymark's lodge in St Sauveur? quite the trip@@rmcellig
I thought you meant cjom from windsor Ontario. Underground fm in the late 60s,70,s
Thank you for posting both of these songs together... just the way we used to hear it on the radio in 1974. WABX and WRIF in Detroit always played the full nine minutes as a combo!
They did the same thing on CHOM-FM in Montreal back in the day, still do on rare occasions.
We're showing our age Carl... I'm a Motor City rock dog myself. WABX was a kick ass station, I liked it way more than the WRIF. Keep a rockin' mi amigo !!! 🎼🍺🤟
Wabx,the wrif,cjom windsor ,w4.detroit area had some great choices
One of my all-time favorites, incredible upbeat stuff!
my favorite spooky tooth song....gary wright at his best.
gary wright? who sings dream weaver? I did not know that!
jaytotheell , I know what I prefer !
@@jaytotheell I KNOW RIGHT!!! HAHA isn't that insane!? "DreamWeaver" Gary Wright was a member of Spooky Tooth. What a small world. Wow.
"I'm Alive" is great. The segue between the two songs is well executed. But "The Mirror" is damned near transcendent.
yes yes YES!!! The Mirror is one of the greatest songs ever made.
I agree, amazing mix
And the Devil smiled both times...
What a great record! The mix, the message, the music! Superb!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke fürs Senden ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greatest two songs i have ever heard
A great song and one of my all time faves. It's so joyful and exuberant that I had to listen for the new year!
what a great song to wake up on sunday after noon.
please dont let the mirrior go un published again it takes me back to 1970s makes me feel good like budgie & others
I love this song!!

CHOM used to play this and we would jam to it wasted on the best Kashmir or Afghani.
With the red lebanese , it was the best to smoke with listening good music. But things changed in the eighties...
Oh my this brings back the best of times in army in Texas some real good times this group and a little blotter.
I like the echoing synth line Gary Wright does on The Mirror.
Takes me waaaay back.
Reminds me of Styx - Crystal Ball, Grand Illusion, both phenomenal albums.
Ditto.

Thanks for sharing this... I've been searching for a copy of this for decades!
Gary and Mike Harrison in the same band....unreal!
Not on this album, though. Harrison had left just before, and Mike Patto came in.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires!!
Just so well done..live mix of 2 awesome songs
