"LE BEAT BESPOKE" Vol. 4

Raw mod and gritty funk rock grooves from team Le Beat Bespoke – the fourth set in the series – bubblegum garage, fuzzed out pop, funky percussion and wailing organs – this just might be the best in the series to date! Compiler Rob Bailey out does himself here, once again digging deep for obscure mod singles, groovy slabs of garage rock, with a few left turns such as a heavy Latin gem and a more psych-steeped number or two – propulsive, exciting numbers regardless of genre affections and fiery dancefloor ready rock tunes all the way! 20 tailor made cuts on the CD – a brief notes on each tune, all of which are exciting and groovy as can be! Titles include "Voodoo Medicine Man" by Jerry & Jeff, "False Alarm Love" by Peaceful Coalition, "Eg Veit Ao Pu Kemar" by Trubrat, "Feelin" by Joy Unlimited, "No Thank You Mr Pusher" by Big Tom, "King Of Siam" by East Of Eden", "Comin On Down" by The Twilights and more.  (Dusty Groove, Inc.)trax:

Man, another of the dusin of collections feat. Dana Gillespie! Not only my favourite Dana, but also another amazing band - Goldie And The Gingerbreads. Front girl in this band is the fantastic singer Genya Ravan (Goldie Selkowitz). She's absolutely in the class of Janis Joplin and Maggie Bell (from Stone The Crows) when it comes to the vocal range! In the early 70's Genya Ravan used to fronting the band Ten Wheel Drive for a while. Do also lend your ears to the strong voice of Barry St. John!
The records below are from my own collection, besides of "Genya Ravan With Baby". Thanks to Tore Røsbjørgen (Mr. BluesTrain) for lending me his copy!
"FREEZE - This is not just another shiny black revolver, but another shiny black revolver fully loaded with British girl singers of the beat-group era. And it's aimed straight at your ears. Warm on the spike heels of our first such compilation ("Girl Zone" ACT 008), chassees "Girls With Guitars" to complement it. This time the Impact selecion process brings you sixteen bullets of distaff pop - beat-group style. And if you thought that musical zone was occupied only by boys, listen on. Make my day!
Admittedly, instrument-playing female groups have always been rare. Amid a myriad of male acts the 1980's have seen groups like the Bangles and the Go-Go's taste success; we had th all-girl guitar and drum-toting Slits and Fanny to thrill us in the 1970's; and back in the black and white 1960's, America's Goldie & The Gingerbreads were knocking us all out with their musical ability. Goldie and her colleagues Carol (guitar), Margo (organ) and Ginger (drums) were discovered - legend has it - at New York's Wagon Wheel nightclub by the Animals, who brought the girls to England, where they became big news in early 1965. Their version of "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" - a prime example of the British beat sound - reached the Top 30; they toured Britain and Europe frequently; the Animals quibbled over which of their members had discovered them ("Why aye", boasted Alan Price and Chas Chandler in unison Geordilly, "let me get one thing straight, I discovered Goldie & The Ginger- breads."), and the musical papers were full of stories of the "gosh-it's-not-a-gimmick-they-can-really-play!" variety...
Dana Gillespie's carreer started during the folk boom of 1965, when she was marketed as a 'friend of Donovan'. Her period of highest prominence, however, came a decade later, during the glam-rock era, when she was promoted not only as a 'friend of Bowie', but also on the size of her breasts. But if she recorded anything better than "You Gotta Know My Mind" I'd like to hear it. Well-penned, Mr. Leitch...".

THE SAFES - Record Heat (2014)

http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/95493076/file.html

The Safes' latest album, Record Heat, is exactly what I needed from them – an entire full-length LP of lean, quality rock. Their music is like a modern take on the classic 60's garage sound, but with a depth, and flavor that is uniquely theirs. This band was made for fans of The Ramones, The Kinks, and The Zombies to squeal over. The production on these ten tracks makes every spin a pleasure to listen to, and thanks to The Safes' uncanny knack for tasteful song arrangements, multiple listens will keep the headphone geeks coming back for more. The only negative criticism I have against it, is that I may have liked it SLIGHTLY more had the band switched the order of the last two tracks...but that's what iTunes is for, right? I really can't get enough of this. I'd gladly buy it again if I had to. Get it. - DC, Radio One

Marshall Holland - And the Etceteras (2014)

http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/65809469/file.html

“On Marshall Holland's new album, ‘And The Etceteras,’ the San Francisco-based indie singer-songwriter has written some of the most tuneful, irresistibly joyous pop songs you're likely to hear this year. Holland combines the warm, melodic vocals and yearning of '70s power pop with an immediacy that's totally up-to-date.”
—Echo Magazine

“Self-contained and confident, Marshall Holland and the Etceteras has everything working in its favor, from high quality songwriting to dense and disciplined performances. Not an ounce of fat penetrates the material, as the tunes are kept neat and trim. Sounding like a clever cross between the Zombies and Crowded House, with touches of the E-Types, the Cyrkle, and Shoes thrown in for good measure . . .”
—Something Else

Holland has perfected his approach to baroque pop hooks with a hovering specter of melancholy—along the lines of the Left Banke or the Three O’Clock—while occasionally rocking enough to put him in the same garage as the Monkees.
