I have them on cd. Also The Last Puff, Broke My Heart , Witness and The Mirror. I saw them in 74' at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. The concert basically beginning with Spooky Tooth as the opening act, the second band was Frampton's Camel and headliner was Mahavishnu Orchestra. Spooky Tooth opened their set with high energy songs from The Mirror...then they went back in time ...playing several songs from Spooky Two, The Last Puff , Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw and Witness. The sound was incredible. John McLaughlin was not one of those jerks who pays the soundman extra to muffle the opening band's sound as to not upstage the headliner. Spooky Tooth had a polished production that night and it was smooth and airy like Pink Floyd. Mike Patto was the replacement vocalist for Mike Harrison and he did a magnificent job. To some degree he had similarities to Harrison's vocal style and he nailed the early stuff! They were all dressed in black. At this point in time Gary Wright was using several keyboard sounds that surfaced on The Dream Weaver. When they played the song "The Mirror" the ending section repeats the harmony vocal " See the light...see the light " which traveled between 4 different sets of speakers in giant cabinet bins that surrounded the 70s Rock crowd at the Spectrum and created the Quadraphonic sound . Between the echo of the voices singing "see the light" while rotating around your head and Gary Wright's dark keyboard sounds it was quite mysterious. They received 2 encores and the crowd was responsive because of their familiarity with Spooky Tooth's music and so each song was treated with crowd appreciation....It was an outstanding performance!

Dear Phil, I have the same supreme feelings about Spooky Tooth. I've got all their island records as Mini-LPs which were published for Island 50th anniversary by Universal Music Japan. Thanks for The Video!

Spot on. This band should have been absolutely massive. They had everything but for some reason were persuaded to be part of the ceremony album, which is interesting but a real brake on their career. Band members left an ot went south. Their subsequent albums were possibly even better than spooky 2, but no-one was really listening. Perhaps a lesson for any band. Still, a great back catalogue and one of my favourite hard rock bands from this era.

Of course, Phil they were a great band and their first two albums have no fillers and every song is special in its own way. Just a bunch of incredible musicians! Spooky Two was also the first album for me. As you know, it was released then with a sleeve in six different colors: purple, gray, blue, brown, black and green. And I collected them all! Among these six, three are first pressing. And of course their first album on the 'Bulleye' label is on my shelf. They are simply priceless.

Hi Phil, this band has been overlooked by me since I started my musical journey. I was keenly aware of them but there was was always another band or artist on my radar that took precedence due to money constraints as a youngster. About a year ago I was watching one of your now playing videos and you were quite enthusiastic about Spooky 2 as you are now, so I finally took the plunge and bought it. Long story short, I loved it! I realised there are so many more artists from that era I need to explore and enjoy.

The Spookies' cover of I Am The Walrus is incredible; better even than the Beatles version. I've got to keep an eye out for these on CD.

Hallo Phil, great to see you again with a Spooky Tooth video, I didn't know there were (finally) reissues of their albums, I am lucky enough to own the wonderful box set and my original Island Label LPs, great that the new Vinyls have lined inner sleeves, then your action videos against paper inner sleeves have helped 👍 the sound is very good too ? I hope, like you, that the other S T albums follow, very nice of you to show the original vinyls and also Luther'a album too, I remember your great interview 😊totally agree with you they could have been very big, but we fans know how good they are ! now I have the opportunity to support you through your shop, T-shirt and mug are definitely included, very nice ! when I get it next month, I'll send you a photo,, kind regards from Berlin🎸

I fully agree about what you say as regards Spooky Tooth ,they are top notch ,.Spooky Two is a real winner ,the first track is fantastic the way it starts with the kick drum . But don’t forget The Last Puff featuring the Beatles I,am a walrus ,you must try & listen to it .Really glad you mentioned Spooky Tooth .😊

As usual a brilliant video Phil. Just checking eBay for the box set and there are 2 on there. One in the UK for £150 the other over in a USA for nearly £500. Downloaded Two from Apple Music but the other one isn’t showing although the box set is so I have just downloaded that as well. I hope that they are good as I get excited when I discover new bands to try. Thanks again Phil.

Great stuff as always Phil. 'Spooky Two' is one of the great albums of its era. Have the very good 2016 re-issue on CD which has some great bonus content. However, I would dearly love a vinyl copy. so I am up for this.
