The heaviest side of the Chicago soul scene of the 60s – served up in a massive batch of rare tracks from the indie label underground! The collection is a great tribute to the depth of the Windy City scene back in the day – the huge range of local artists who were working hard to keep Chicago grooving – often with a style that was nice and gritty, with a bit less polish than work from Detroit – but with an equal sort of punch on the dancefloor! All tunes here are upbeat and grooving – and the range of artists is wonderfully representative, and includes a few rare tracks from singers who'd crack later fame on bigger labels. Titles include "I Can't Forget" by Bull & The Matadors, "I'm A Big Man" by Big Daddy Rogers, "Swing Your Love My Way" by No No Starr, "Disillusioned" by Marvin L Sims, "Check Her Out" by The Idols, "Spring Song" by The Accents, "All The Way" by The Danderliers, "Lovely Ladies" by Jimmy Hughes, "All Of My Life" by The Ringleaders, "I'm A Good Guy" by The CODs, "A Lonely Boy" by Lee Wilson, and "Speed Up" by Betty Moorer. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Forty years after Sean Bonniewell and his band the Music Machine hit the AM radio airwaves with their smash hit, the two minute blast of roaring guitar and organ rage known simply as "Talk Talk" UK reissue specialty label, Big Beat, under the divine guidance of psychedelic rock guru Alec Palo, present Bonniwell and company in ultimate fashion. The original lp is lovingly stretched to a two disc collection. Disc one contains the original album in both mono and stereo versions, as well as non-lp singles. The second disc is filled with previously unissued tracks, a total of 22, ranging from rehearsal and demo recordings, as well as alternate versions, original mixes, and to top the package off two video clips. The highlights are far too numerous to mention, but along with the hit single, killer album tracks such as "Masculine Intuition" and "The People In Me" show the band at its punk rock best. The band also shines on covers such as the Beatles "Taxman" and ? and the Mysterions "96 Tears." The 48 audio and 2 video tracks add up to a real "ultimate" presentation of a band that was years ahead of its time. The hefty booklet, with liner notes by Palao and full of previously unreleased photos also paints an accurate portrait of the band's instant rise to fame equally rapid fall from grace. Unable to follow up their smash single the band imploded with Sean Bonniwell carrying on as Bonniwell's Music Machine, but never again approaching the fame and fortune of their signature song. Listening to "The Ultimate Turn On" it is apparent that the band's unique sound was worthy of a much better fate. However, in the heady days of the mid 1960s bands were only as popular as their latest hit, and the Music Machine all too quickly became just another "one hit wonder" band. This despite killer tracks such as a rocking cover of "Hey Joe." Such was the fickle music industry of the mid to late 1960s. Filled with fuzz guitars, swirling organs, and full of punk attitude, the Music Machine deserved a much better fate. But it was not to be. However, treat yourself to this wonderful collection and travel back into time via Sean Bonniewell and the magical Music Machine. (Ugly Things)

No 1950s blues guitarist even came close to equaling the flamboyant Guitar Slim in the showmanship department. Armed with an estimated 350 feet of cord between his axe and his amp, Slim would confidently stride on-stage wearing a garishly hued suit of red, blue, or green, usually with his hair dyed to match! It's rare to find a blues guitarist hailing from Texas or Louisiana who doesn't cite Slim as one of his principal influences: Buddy Guy, Earl King, Guitar Shorty, Albert Collins, Chick Willis, and plenty more have enthusiastically testified to Slim's enduring sway.
Born Eddie Jones in Mississippi, Slim didn't have long to make such an indelible impression. He turned up in New Orleans in 1950, influenced by the atomic guitar energy of Gatemouth Brown. But Slim's ringing, distorted guitar tone and gospel-enriched vocal style were his alone. He debuted on wax in 1951 with a mediocre session for Imperial that barely hinted at what would soon follow. A 1952 date for Bullet produced the impassioned "Feelin' Sad," later covered by Ray Charles (who would arrange and play piano on Slim's breakthrough hit the next year).
With the emergence of the stunning "The Things That I Used to Do" on Art Rupe's Specialty logo, Slim's star rocketed to blazing ascendancy nationwide. Combining a swampy ambience with a churchy arrangement, the New Orleans-cut track was a monster hit, pacing the R&B charts for an amazing 14 weeks in 1954. Strangely, although he waxed several stunning follow-ups for Specialty in the same tortured vein -- "The Story of My Life," "Something to Remember You By," "Sufferin' Mind" -- as well as the blistering rockers "Well I Done Got Over It," "Letter to My Girlfriend," and "Quicksand," Slim never charted again.
The guitar wizard switched over to Atlantic Records in 1956. Gradually, his waxings became tamer, though "It Hurts to Love Someone" and "If I Should Lose You" summoned up the old fire. But Slim's lifestyle was as wild as his guitar work. Excessive drinking and life in the fast lane took its inevitable toll over the years, and he died in 1959 at age 32. Only in recent years has his monumental influence on the blues lexicon begun to be fully recognized and appreciated. Incidentally, one of his sons bills himself as Guitar Slim, Jr. around the New Orleans circuit, his repertoire heavily peppered with his dad's material. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

WILD BILLY CHILDISH & THE BUFF MEDWAYS - Steady The Buffs ’02 @320
http://www20.zippyshare.com/v/8657998/file.html
Whack The Kinks, The Who, The Sonics, The Stooges and The Ramones into a Moulinex 4-speed 'Easy Clean' blender and set to "heavy mince". What you get is an awful lot of Rhesus A and bone marrow, one hell of a lawsuit and a glorious tripartite cacophany that is The Buff Medways.
"Strange Kind of Happiness" out-Who's the Who. "Sally Sensation" sees The Who invite The Sonics over for a kebab and dominoes. "Ivor" bloody well IS The Who!!!
"Vanessa Does Favours" is Ray Davies singing through a traffic cone in a midget submarine. "Dawn Said" sees Ray, Johnny Ramone and David Gedge arsing around in the studio after the caretaker's locked up for the night. "You Piss Me Off" is the 'B' side of Ray, Johnny Ramone and David Gedge arsing around in the studio after the caretaker's locked up for the night.
"Steady The Buffs" is a thumping lo-fi beauty - the gift that keeps on giving. What the Medways save in production costs they spend like princes on power. (Shindig)

EVEN - Even ’08 @320

Even are exactly what they are and what Ashley Naylor wants them to be -- a band whose members love their Beatles, their ELO, their power pop, their hints of roots music appreciation. It's all in there and they're not only not hiding it; they revel in it. It would be pointless to criticize something that they're precisely aiming for, no less so than any number of acts exploring their own favorite genres almost to a fault. Even the song titles hit the trick moment for moment -- "I Am the Light," "Keep on Burning," "The Fool Who Makes You Sad" -- and are all spot-on. Naylor's yearning vocals, the tuneful guitar crunches, the flanged vocals and buried string swells on "Only One" -- it's all designed to slot them in alongside bands ranging from the Shoes to Cheap Trick to Redd Kross to Teenage Fanclub to Jellyfish, and it's well in line with what he's been doing leading Even all these years. But so perfected is this approach now that there's almost little to say; Even as an album is such a flawless example of what Naylor aims for that it's almost something to admire and regard with appreciation more than anything else. When a song like "Superstition Blues" is exactly the kind of stylishly formal exercise one might guess, down to the twang in the vocals as much as the guitars and mouth harp, what more can be done but to acknowledge it for what it is?

Wow! Even is a spectacular group. Any chance of posting any of the rest of their catalog? The blogspot has them but only in mega.co.nz form. This Apple computer with Safari doesn't support that.
Thanks for this and all your work!
