Life tip: When you see a TH-cam recommendation with a 70s or 80s album cover, give it a listen for sure.
solid advice.
Listen closely, kids
Some things I just cannot resist.
Yeah! 👍🍄🔑🧩
For sure.
I love it when I see a record cover and I think 'this must be good' and it really is
It feels good to have this much trust in your eyes. It's like having a sixth sense!
I've just told to my friend that's how I mostly choose the music to listen to and then I saw your commrnt
Same
thats how I got here
Same
Came for the leopard, stayed for the jams
Same
Same thing 😺

pareil :) attiré par le beau félin
hey get back out there and find us more hidden hot springs .. more shots of you in magic bikini please..
Some albums can absolutely be judged by their cover. You just see it and get a certain energy! I used to go into a used record shop and random select something new to take home every week. I consistently found nothing but gems. Now here on TH-cam, we've got yet another perfect example.
Fuckin rights man
I do the same thing! I go to charity shops and buy records because the cover appealed to me. I've found some amazing and surprising finds!
@@eleanortalbot1316 i do the same with cds! i sift through all the Christian and Christmas music and find titles i recognize, and pick up a few that just look cool as well. sometimes they are a hit, sometimes a miss. its ok either way though bc they are 25 cents!
Intuitions a blessing !
i always guess the genre based on album covers when i don't know the artist, and i'm always right.. this makes sense because genres and styles usually have their own aesthetic associated with it.. it's how i knew listening to Mint Jams by Casiopea was gonna be a great idea (and it was) or why i listened to Cat Steps by Daisuke Tanabe...
Sometimes you're doing alright TH-cam
Omg,maaaaany times,i discover new,beautiful music every time i come on here.😍😍😍😍
@@maiabrennas3842 number one reason I mostly keep youtube as my music platform, you can discover so many artists which are not uploaded onto deezer, spotify, and so on.
Soundcloud is good too, but TH-cam got *whole albums* of unique things to listen to!
@Bowen Daxton geezers what did you learn about your girlfriend you are spying on?
sometimes youtube deserves to be loved
Lol'd hard at this hahah
Came for the cover stay for the music
Nice parallax profile pic
Came for the music stay for the music.
Hell yea that's some dope motherfucking cover and music on fire 🔥 playaz
Night Owl absolutely 👍🎶
Same here
This is exactly how I expected a 1975 album with a jaguar on the cover to begin like.
😂
Stop it😂😅
For real.
How great, owned this on vinyl until it got stolen from me in a club together with several other fine records. First time listening to it since then, some 20+ years ago. Still groovy as hell!
People can be such heels.
@@rookmaster7502 heels is too good a word. Scum is more suitable
that's the worst feeling
Wrong Think. Look At It As...The Good Music is Getting Spread Around! The Music So Good, People Will Take It. Like Gold Or Diamonds?
@@donwillis5802 its THEIVERY you fucktard, its YOU who is engaging in wrong think
i hope you don't breed
nothing funkier than a leopard running through a city alley
might be a jaguar
It would make a sick ass shirt...💙
Could be a panther
Its somebody's mother
Jason Magel could be someone’s sister
Shout out to the late Roger Sellers on drums. The best teacher I've ever had. Rest in peace mate!
I was digging the title track..thinking this drummer is the s’...but had never heard of him...I know the great..John Marshall..played with the group.cheers
He really did his way, I just read a litle material about Mr Sellers on Stuff . His first drum kit was a set of Ludwigs bought from the dairy owner across the road by his parents, who did so on the condition he work off the outlay by doing odd jobs. RIP ROGER SELLERS
Wow you studied with him? Literally hearing his name for the first time now. Utterly nasty playing. P r o f e s s i o n a l
@@noahschonfeld8723 greasy, dank nastiness. Sublime 👌 roll one up
@@elizeugoncalves7953 I love this kind of personal history. Thanks for posting!
Why does 70s era drum recordings sound so damn crisp and clean? It's like this era perfected the mic setup on the kits methinks. Perfect balance of punch, separation, compression, etc. Solid mix.
I often think that. The sound is warmer and crisper. I reckon it's the instrument and recording gear, maybe the booth aswell
Good saturation from preamps, consolle, natural tape compression and very heavy dumping on drumheads
less compression
I've been binging a lot of 70s funk especially Japanese stuff. Seen this feeling mentioned in almost every video and it's something I noticed myself so I assume everyone must see it. It's crazy how far the technical talent has degraded.
Go listen to "Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media - Funky Stuff (1975)" for anyone who wants to hear the dictionary definition of clean and frankly just erotic audio positioning...
@@AFrames763 there was asbestos and coke everywhere. It's all magic.
imagine walking into an alley, but then you turn into a leopard and this album starts playing.
Happened to me last week can recommend
@@crazyBelluz Damn, this has happen to me twice !
Done. Now what
@Eph1xia underrated comment😂
this is exactly what would be playing
Suddenly I'm shopping for corduroy and qualudes.
bring back the qualudes

@@NunYurbis ain't that the fucken truth :(
😂😂😂
we may have went to same high school...
Tenía mucho tiempo que TH-cam no me recomendaba algo decente
It's amazing that Nucleus have finally got the listening they always deserved through You Tube.
You’re not the boss of me now
I'm a simple man, I see a good cover and I click. Such a good album!
Funny how these days of streaming music the album covers still lure you but you get to hear it instantly.
Funny how many purchasing errors stemmed from seeing a great cover, back in the day.
@@innocentoctave conversely also many masterpieces with pisspoor artwork
@@Koraxus that's why you always got to click on those ridiculous covers
made too easy in my view.
My relationship with the TH-cam's Algorithm is stable now. 😊🎧🎶
Lordy. You know when music is good when you start dancing in the mirror when you don't even like your body. This shit rocks hard.
名前もメンバーの顔もアルバムタイトルも初耳だがとにかく一言、カッコいい～。
TH-cam is great for letting all these gems resurface.
yes the Algorithm is great
The human spirit is great --- but the almighty algorithm is great too when it delivers the goods ...
indeed Red Hiney
This Album is Dripping With So Much *FUNK* That You SERIOUSLY Have To Take a Bath After Listening To IT!!!
Dave Drake and wash off all that funk? I think not
Why? Did you shit yourself?
tha funk rushed out tha alley
I think this is actually Fusion tho
@@ridethemarta let that funk soak in like robitussin 😎
I think I heard something like this as the soundtrack of some unmarked VHS tape under my dad's bed.
That was a good time.
😂
I love how he all came here for the amazing art and stayed for the music
that leopard was just a cat before he heard NUCLEUS
LOL definitely.
*cheetah
@@travellerjones8005 that's not a cheetah. It doesn't have any of the facial markings or any other patterns distinct to cheetahs. It's definitely a leopard.
@@duncanambrose206 leopards don't have spots , they have what are called rosettes . However I'm not sure the artist was particularly concerned with the differences between the 2 when they made this
@@travellerjones8005 that's true, leopards and jaguars both. Guess they took a little creative liberty then

Now, that I posted this I see song list in the post but when I watched on another computer it did not show.
PGP
I referenced yours, so I appreciate it 👌
@@CreatureFeature666 Thanks, glad it was useful.
Nice work.
Alleycat is really a 14min song bruh
hey brother thanks, you tracklisting guys are gods amongst men.
That cover was produced by one LARS HOKANSEN:A contemporary American illustrator, Lars Hokanson studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, graduating in 1967, and worked mainly as a freelance artist. Working between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Hokanson was a talented illustrator for magazines and books, as well as a painter and wood engraver. HOKANSON also...
Also what?
I knew that the leopard running loose through the city could only mean good things were in store... This album strikes me as being rather unique in the way it integrates elements from psychedelic and progressive rock. That really gives the album a stranger and more intriguing texture than what I typically expect from funky jazz fusion bands.
th-cam.com/video/maQWli6mdXo/w-d-xo.html
try Kraut-rock. Prog+Jazz+Psychedelic+Etc
@@staskozak8118haven't heard nearly as much jazz in kraut rock compared to this. Then again I've only really heard Neu, Kraftwerk and recently discovered, Agitation Free
😢 I think they just claim it psychedelic Rock just to get your attention this is straight up jazz
Uncle on drums R.I.P. Roger Sellers, what a groove these cats were in :)
Epic drummer
His kit sounds massive and the playing is something else
Unk was cold
I was listening to Japanese jazz of 70's and suddenly youtube brings me here. Thanks a lot!
Nice, that japanese forms are pretty blue, Tasogare.
yup - from Japan to London, England. Good funk does not respect international boundaries
I heard those Japanese part 1,2,3, were awesome!!So is this one+!
仿佛回到了看磁带和唱片封面来挑选专辑的年代，非常有期待感❤
that was my music in the '70 when I was 20, now I am 70 and I still love it.
#Me to ! ha ha!
Got "click baited" by the cat, now I'm stuck listening to this...LOL.
Blues'n with the Bird same here! Did not expect a funky sound to accompany the cat! But pretty cool AF!
Same haha great artwork!
The cat really is something.
I have no idea who these guys even are, but the cat compelled me.
Your not stuck. You've been set free. Freed from the cage you were put in by The Man. Run free my brother. Run free.
Jams jams jamsa...??
I don’t think my face has ever snarled up so fast before in my life. God damn it’s funky.
Not the funkiest thing I’ve heard but definitely got that twang of funk
yup exactly, damn gotta explore this now
I wan Ive heard but not right time
but still good back then
but now wow
Hahah
I was born in 1975 and somehow most of the music from around those years is my favorite and I can tell you my parents certainly didn’t listen to such music but it's just grooving within me!!
70s is the best era for music imo not even just in the west
You're Lucky,I'm 17 and our generation music is just pure shit they're more focused on videos and their sexy figures and slangs more than the music itself, music between 70-80 is just the best........the mixes the album covers the fresh music it just hits you from everywhere
The late Roger' sellers on 🥁 drums Sublime impeccable time keeper from good old new Zealand 🇳🇿
There was young dude from Ealing,
Who had a peculiar feeling,
He dug in the trunk,
Took out some funk,
And had the young ladies squealing..
簡単に東京メトロポリタンテレビジョンTOKYO MX様などが思いきって試験電波発射音楽などをしっかりと加えて流してくれますので忘れませんし素敵ですのでごもっとも一杯ですよ。だから楽しくなりつつありますよ。天晴れですよ。涙ぐんできますよ。幸せになれてきますよ。華やかになりつつありますよ。沁みてきますよ。ワクワクしてきますよ。こつこつ進んできますよ。ぐんぐん行けますよ。るんるんしてきますよ。エラー覚悟ですよ。
I always believed it was a young woman from Ealing. And her peculiar feeling had a somewhat golden ending.
what a rabbit hole youtube recommended has taken me through
They get it right on rare occassion. Check my channel for some weird gems👍
I completely stumbled on this by random chance. Wow, I'm loving the music.
There are no accidents.
And me 👌
I intentionally look only in the 70’s section at any record store I visit, simply, to find gems like this. A hundred vinyl’s later and I can’t stop listening to this day. Love the funkadelic shit and will die for it.
Cover grabbed me, music moved me
Show me on the doll where the music touched you...
@@Boognish_ LMFAO hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
If books had covers like this, they'd be easier to judge.
¡¡HAHAHAHA!!!! You are a genius.
Right you are... young Annakin
“What Ia jaguar or a leopard? What’s he doing in the city? “These questions arose well listening to these smooth jams
FANTÁSTICO! ... Jazz-Rock fusión de tan gran calidad en la ejecución que alegra el alma de quien le escucha!
This whole record is ridiculous. Not only is the musicianship world class, but the production and engineering is outstanding. Aside from the Horns being a bit too hot for my ears the mix is really good too. 20:47 that’s the sound right there Rhodes & Phaser.. fucking gorgeous! And the Bass! Goddamn that’s some muscle. You can’t get that going direct, that’s the sound of a speaker jumpin out of a cabinet. 22:39 that transition into the next section I had to listen to a couple times... unbelievable! Interesting timing on that beat too how they cut off half a beat on the second measure and start over on the and of 4. And then the solo section that follows, they’re communicating on a level that is far beyond normal comprehension. Some bad dudes right here, easily the best Jazz Fusion band Britain has ever produced.
Yes!
#AlienFunk
That timing where it cuts is called a 7/8 signature.
The first measure is a 4/4 then the second is a 7/8
The drums on here are just something else
The cover just has that crazy vibe I had to click and Splat was definetely a highlight!! I wonder what people thought about this type of music back in the day
I’ve been collecting vinyl since the early 90s. The way I would choose what record to listen to was based on the cover. I didn’t know what I was looking for. That’s what I love about music and art. It’s constantly populating and evolving.
Can you tell me where I might purchase a copy of this vinyl?
Saw the album cover and clicked, Another great British band from the 70's that I somehow missed.
my jaw is dropping into a different dimension. These cats KNOW
Talk about being deep in the pocket. Holy Levi's, Batman!
Back alley cat.
You tube saving an old hippie’s life again. Thanx a million.
Got this going on after playing "Hot Rats". The algorythm got it right! Very nice album!
I don't know why anyone would dislike this, you got what you came for.
reggaeton exist for some reason
@@Claude1Rochon ...you good mate?
@@primo4915 me good man. you ? ( i hope you got the tongue-in-cheek mist of my response )
I didn't come for it...it came for me!
I don’t listen to this type of music at all, haven’t heard any songs of similar genre recently, have nothing like this in my playlist, and TH-cam decided to recommend me this. I am not disappointed in the slightest. This is quite different from my usual techno/house/dnb
Welcome to actual musicians that play instruments. Crazy concept, right?
Boognish go fuck yourself. Go gatekeep your midget hamster tentacle hentai instead of music. Music is supposed to be shared and enjoyed, crazy concept, right?
Boognish So you’re saying Aphex twin and boards of Canada aren’t musicians? You should give them a listen cause I know you’ll be surprised.
Boognish ah, assume I’m a drug user, keep being a close-minded prick. I can have fun without any drugs, I’ve been sober, thank you very much. I would say have a nice day, but I assume you don’t have very many unless you pick on people on the internet for no reason. Big man you are, id bet your making mommy and daddy proud, especially by refraining from “potty words” 😂get off your high horse and be a decent human being
Edit: also, go ahead and stick to your music, I don’t want your tainted ears to hear mine. One day you’ll realize how much of an asshole you are, until then, fuck you!

Music so funky you'll say "Damn that's funky"
It's Damn good too !
This album tells a story without saying a word
comment section 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒
it says more than a story without words - just the way it was meant to be man
The album that plays in your head when your the perfect amount of drunk and your about to make your move.
I needed this and I didn't even know it.
He's a poet and he don't know it!
And to think I almost didn't click this. I was seven deep in the search bar with "Mahavis...." but I scrolled back down to see that album cover and this time opened what is becoming a fusion favorite! I'm not sure how many minutes in or which track I'm on but the little red line is just touching the Jaguar's front paw and I haven't paused or taken my headphones off once!
100 tabs down the rabbit tube
You know you're hooked when the little red line is just touching the Jaguar's front paw........
@@kenhamburg8803 😹
Same. I almost didn't click either. Solid fusion album.
I didn't mean to click this, but glad I did !!!! Stayed for 41min!
Glad I clicked on this album.
It's an amazing album.
can't agree more
Me 3.
Saw them in about 74 or 75. They were sensational. I moved onto Weather Report. Saw them in about 80. They were sensational too!
This artwork looks so unprofessional and professional at the same time
I like it a lot
i googled it, seems like the colors on this image are way off. still very nice looking cover.
I was born in 95 in Germany and there was a lot of NYC hype going on in pop culture, art, comics, television and music. By now I understood New York's History from the 60s, 70s and 80s and how things could end in said scenario that is a myth to most people. Records with covers like this is a reminder it wasn't just a dream or a phase what happened. For me this might be one of the most attracting and interesting cultures I have even heard of.
This band were British!
@@Wally-H I never said they weren't. The music and the cover still scream nyc for me.
Sono anni che mi compare davanti,e che mi ostino a non ascoltarlo senza motivo!
Stamattina ci siamo!
Mi ci alleno,non so cosa sto andando ad ascoltare!
Ma mi piace già!
These guys said let's make a funky music album and they sure did.
why have i made the mistake of pushing play at 3am in the morning lol
Very nice grooves. This is what I was needing. Thanks youtube and the person posting this album!
Idk how this ended up on my recommended and I didn’t think it was even music but I’m really glad I clicked
Man this album BRINGS it. Smacks you with straight grooves from the start
And doesn't stop! I been waiting to take a break but can't.
I was actually expecting some very obscure heavy metal from the early 80's by looking at the cover, but I'm not disappointed at all, this sounds so good!
Josué Melgarejo Same. I thought this was some long forgotten USPM or NWOBHM album, but funky jazz fusion is good too.
sameeee
i was expecting breakdance --- but this is even way more 'jam on it' !
Based on my listening by all rights it should've been that, but I'm glad it wasn't.
It’s like every note is perfectly placed, every key and rhythm thought out in meticulous detail. Every sound has a purpose. I don’t understand what is going on but it takes you over and makes you forget everything else that you don’t want to think about.
I cant believe ive been neglecting this. How could I have forgotten such an insanely groovy album?!
Thats the kind of music to listen to in traffic jams. It blows away any stress!
Jamming during a jam!
Quarantine bring me here. Thanks from Italy 💖
stay safe out there - love from London England
Be well so you can listen to lots of this stuff. ♡ from Boston, USA..
Take great care Italy!! Music beats away the monotony of quarantine
Take care . kiss from Thailand
@ROMANS 8:2
Does every Italian person who tries to avoid getting deathly ill with COVID-19 have to be a Fascist in your book?
Are you one of these people who thinks the thing is a hoax, as actual Fascist Donald Trump tried to play it off?
STFU.
So good it calms my anxiety a lot.
I'm glad to see everyone convening here, as youtube have deemed us the kind of cool cats that would appreciate something like this. Stay classy yall
I don't even speak english, but I understood everything my man wrote in the description. Thanks for the upload!!
Welcome to paradise my friend. Join the funk!
Now 50 years since I saw Ian Carr’s Nucleus performing Elastic Rock live at a London University. Ian was so cool playing his amplified trumpet, black beard , hipster jeans. Loved his timing and sense of space. The whole band was so tight. All professional session men. Never get tired of listening to Nucleus. Spoke to him a couple of times. Such a lovely chap. For those who are new to Nucleus, check out his other albums. You will not be disappointed. And then Soft Machine 3, 4 and 7.
Also Soft Machine voll. 1,2
TH-cam just put this on my timeline, casually. But it was actually to bright my day, I just know. This is what I like to listen to when I dom't know what to listen. Thank you TH-cam Recommendations, I'm 2001's kid who loves 70s music.
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the funky tunes 🎵 keep on rocking in the free world and thanks TH-cam for the cool jams 😎
Caught them in Leeds in the early 70s. Wore out lp of Elastic Rock. Never even heard of this. Thanks!
TH-cam algorithm, you've done it again you beautiful bastard! It's too damn funky in here, open a window
Good one LOL!!!
This TH-cam recommendation makes me realize I have good taste of music. 🌌✨🏞️
COMPUTER AGE was a prophetic song! I used to listen to it at night while watching the train go by on Brighton Beach Ave in Brooklyn back in early 80s.
great record, i love utube, it enables everyone to have a sick vinyl collection! thanks for posting!
always bugs me when folks go on about “they don’t make music like this anymore” in youtube comments...
like, yeah, music is unique to its era and the band, but the odds are if you had been around you still wouldn’t have known this music existed... be thankful we live in a time where we can discover and hear all this great stuff anytime we want.
@@grendelum i dont mean any offense by it, im a 70's baby so i prefer the music from that era, the type of music made back then is much different than what is produced today.................
@@samiam7342 - not aimed at you mate... your point is valid, we all get the cool record collection at our fingertips now ;¬)
luv or or haite it
is.good
I love Jazz, mostly listen to Bebop and the more classical stuff. But since few weeks im digging the music of the hippie era and through this TH-cam recommend me this sweet jazz fusion album. I love it
hey if you enjoyed this I'd definitely check out the band Weather Report (Joe Zawinul/Wayne Shorter both of whom played with miles)
@@matthewlawton9241 Exactly, this is 70s Jazz Fusion with a touch of acid mixed in.
Funk is the most beautiful son of jazz music
We could ban new music for 100 years and no one would suffer a shortage of absolute hits. Same goes for movies and games etc, Im not even anti-new, just appreciative of all that came before :)
HOLY FUCKING CRAP that break in the alleycat song at 8:46 is LITERALLY the only thing I'm living for right now
Wow,just finished the first track. Holy shit that bass was rock solid and what a tone! I had to click when i saw that cover,lol. I wasn't disappointed.
The recording of this is insane. There's no beating the 70s for recording
37 minutes in there is an incredible drum break, cole! don't forget about it!
These old albums have been blowing up my youtube feed recently but i like it lol lots of great music
That’s how you start an album!! Instant hook in your cheek and you’re wondering what the hell happened you’re sucked in Chief
Listen here, you said what I should have said and I couldn't.! Not fair .!!
Please narrate my life
Love the cover photo, This is exactly what I picture when I hear the words Alley Cat, great music ⭐️
I hope you never erase this. TH-cam is now the world biggest library
