I started The Vinyl Collector to find music I have never heard of before. This page has introduced me to a ton of new bands, some great records and some awesome people! The Mr. T Experience (sometimes abbreviated MTX) is an American punk rock band formed in 1985 in Berkeley, California. They have released eleven full-length albums along with numerous EPs and singles and have toured internationally. Their music is best classified as pop punk and is intentionally playful, comical, and satirical, often dealing with issues of love and relationships. The band's name is taken from actor and television personality Mr. T. The Mr. T Experience serves mainly as the creative outlet for singer/guitarist "Dr. Frank" Portman @frankportman, its primary songwriter and sole continuous member throughout multiple lineup changes. The band is closely associated with the Berkeley and greater San Francisco Bay Area punk rock movement of the late 1980s and the 1990s, revolving around the 924 Gilman Street venue and the Lookout! Records label, through which they have released all of their albums since 1990. Dr. Frank was one of the first people to start posting in the Vinyl Collector and I really enjoy his writing and music. Today the mail man delivered my first and not last MTX record. MTX's first album in 12 years, titled "King Dork Approximately the Album. This does not mean the Dr. has not been busy in those years. He has taken his song writing talents and moved them into writing books. As far as I know there are 3 novels under his name. Andromeda Klein, King Dork, and King Dork Approximately. I don't think I have ever seen a record and novel combo before. Very cool idea! This record rocks plain and simple. I have listened to it a number of times on you tube but today I am going to give it the proper treatment as it hits my turntable! This copy is the 2017 gold vinyl edition. Signed by the band!! https://www.discogs.com/Mtx-King-Dork-ApproximatelyAlbum/release/1082...
