Metropolis Stomp Time: Northern Soul From The Big City @320
Compiled by Kev Roberts
http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/15401492/file.html
Having constantly listened to Metropolis Stomp Time since I received it, I can honestly say that if you’re going to buy one Northern Soul compilation, make it this one. Metropolis Stomp Time features thirty-one delicious slices of Northern Soul compiled by Kev Roberts, a man whose life has revolved around Northern Soul. He’s a forty-year veteran of Northern Soul, who was a DJ at the legendary Wigan Casino. SInce then, he’s been immersed in Northern Soul and has compiled more compilations that most people will have in their collection. Kev is a man who knows his floaters from his stompers. For Metropolis Stomp Time he’s surpassed himself, compiling thirty-one tracks that are a perfect introduction to Northern Soul. (Derek’s Music)

I have found the backbeats series a superb way to get hold of some excellent old tracks, but must say Metropolis Stomp time is one of the best Northern compilations I have found to date, all tracks are lively and upbeat and will enhance any collection of this wonderful music.

CLEAR LIGHT - Clear Light (1967)
http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/20316837/file.html
Clear Light was a folk-rock/psych-rock group from LA that released one LP off Elektra in 1967, famously known for including two drummers, one of them being Dallas Taylor of CSNY and Manassas fame. Paul Rothchild produced the LP, which explains why the recording sessions were fraught with tension and negativity. The group was masterminded by guitarist/vocalist Bob Seal, bass player Doug Lubahn, and lead vocalist Cliff De Young. Prior to Clear Light the band had been known as the Brain Train. Seal felt a name change was appropriate to coincide with the release of a newly recorded debut single, “Black Roses.” Seal decided on Clear Light, a concept he had come across in his readings of Eastern philosophy, a name also shared by a potent brand of LSD.
“Black Roses,” written by Wolfgang Dios, was released in September of 1967. It was a great hard charging folk-rock single with an acid tinged guitar solo that deserved to sell much better than it did. Black Roses appeared on the group’s only full length platter, released in late 1967. Many psych fans are divided when it comes to the Clear Light LP but I think it’s a good one. Maybe not a true classic on par with Love’s Forever Changes or Moby Grape’s debut but still a very good LP without any weak tracks. The band tries nearly everything within a 2 to 3 minute pop song context, loading the songs with good quirky ideas and great guitar solos (check out “Think Again”). Some tracks like “They Who Have Nothing” and the baroque “Ballad of Freddie & Larry” bear a strong Doors and Love influence, but this makes sense considering these were all Elektra groups. Other songs like the outstanding fuzz guitar psychedelia of “Sand” and the trippy “Night Sounds Loud” are more original and hinted at a strong future for the group. The former track features some great organ and spiraling acid guitar interplay. The album’s most famous track, a cover of Tom Paxton‘s “Mr. Blue,” sounds dated today with its spoken word dialogue, although, even this song is oddly appealing in its own way and definitely still considered a highlight.
Rothchild’s iron fist policy coupled with the lack of commercial success led to Clear Light’s demise, shortly after the release of this solid album. Not everyone will like this record because of its eccentric nature but it really is a crime that Clear Light was unable to release a followup to this debut. A very worthy release from a talented, accomplished California group. (The Rising Storm)

THE ONLY ONES - Baby's Got A Gun '80 (Expanded)
http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/96405295/file.html
In many respects, the Only Ones had been swimming against the current ever since they started playing out in 1977, and the wear was finally beginning to show by the time they cut their third album, 1980's Baby's Got a Gun. After Even Serpents Shine failed to sell to expectations, CBS put the Only Ones in the studio with producer Colin Thurston, best known for his work with the likes of Duran Duran, the Human League, and Bow Wow Wow; Thurston was clearly aiming to push the pop angles of Peter Perrett's melodies into the forefront, and while to some degree he succeeded, the amiably sleazy rock & roll edge of their first two albums was blunted on this set, and Perrett and John Perry's guitars don't have the same impact here. The quality of the songwriting on Baby's Got a Gun, while still strong, is not up to the level of the first two albums, and significantly, the Only Ones recorded their only cover for this LP ("Fools," a hit for country singer Johnny Duncan, with Perrett dueting quite wonderfully with Pauline Murray of Penetration). And while Perrett was still singing and writing well, the drug addiction that would haunt him for years was catching up with him during these sessions, and Baby's Got a Gun lacks some of the focus and energy of their earlier work. Baby's Got a Gun is clearly the weakest of the Only Ones' three original albums, but for all its faults there's plenty here that testifies to the band's strengths; "Why Don't You Kill Yourself," "Strange Mouth," and "The Big Sleep" are splendid songs that show the band still had the goods, and "Trouble in the World" and "The Happy Pilgrim" confirm they could reach for a poppier sound without losing their personality in the process. the Only Ones broke up a year after Baby's Got a Gun came out, but if it captured the sound of a band in decline, you can barely tell unless you're looking for the seams.

Does anyone have “The Dave Clark Five – Collection” (in FLAC, hopefully!), as offered (a while back!) HERE?:
http://twilightzone-rideyourpony.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-dave-clark-five-history-of-dave.html
Ironically, The B-Side of "Black Roses" was "She's Ready To Free", which is NOT on the album, it is the Only song I have ever come across besides the Lp tracks. I have the Original Lp from 1967 plus i managed to obtain a re-issue on 180 Gram Vinyl that was released in the 90's and it does have that song added to it.
Thank you for the Kate Taylor!!
