GENERAL JOHNSON - Generally Speaking (1972) @320 (CD 5 OF 9)
The Complete Invictus Studio Recordings 1969-1978 Remastered (CD 5 OF 9)
http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/2102874/file.html
A great solo album by this member of Chairmen of the Board – done with some wicked Holland Dozier Holland production, at a level that almost makes Johnson sound heavier here than in his work with his more famous group! The vocals have that same sort of crazy pinched sound that he had with The Chairmen, and there's loads of great original tunes here – plus a few Chairmen numbers, thrown into the mix, in the way that things sometimes got repeated on the Invictus label – but that's OK with us, because the tunes are so great. The grooves are nice and bouncy – and cuts include "God's Gift To Man", "Every Couple's Not A Pair", "I'll Never Get Tired Of You", "Mary Lou Thomas", and "My Credit Didn't Go Through". CD also features four bonus tracks – "Only Time Will Tell" in vocal and instrumental versions, plus "Savannah Lady", and "I'm In Love Darling". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.
In the very late sixties The Chairmen Of The Board were the flagship act of Holland-Dozier-Holland’s then newly established Invictus label.
Best known for their 1970 top three US hit Give Me Just A Little More Time (covered in the early nineties by Kylie Minogue) the band released four studio albums for Invictus in the first half of the 1970s.
This new box, The Complete Invictus Studio Recordings 1969-1978, goes beyond the group efforts and includes the Invictus solo albums released by individual members General Johnson, Danny Woods and Harrison Kennedy. To top it all off, this comes with two bonus discs include alternate versions, non-album singles and selected mixes, including two Tom Moulton remixes.
All in all, you get nine CDs and 97 tracks. The discs are accompanied by 36-page booklet with extensive liner notes.

Plainsong - True Story Of Amelia Earhart (1972) (Japan 2013) @320 mp3
http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/1368091/file.html
In just under three years, Ian Matthews split from Fairport Convention, went solo, formed Matthews' Southern Comfort - with whom he scored a number one U.K. hit - left the group at the height of its popularity, recorded three more records on his own (only two were released at this time) and in early 1972 started Plainsong, his fourth band in five years. And while his track record led one to believe that Plainsong may be just another short stay, the subsequent album, In Search of Amelia Earhart, proved to be worth the venture. Ian Matthews was of course the obvious draw, but Plainsong seemed to be formed as more of a collective effort, with lead guitarist Andy Roberts, who shares the lead vocal duties, the other focal point in the band. On the other hand, Matthews, whose folk and country-tinged tunes set the tone for the record, is the only member to contribute original material. Included among these is the thematic "True Story of Amelia Earhart," which along with the haunting "For the Second Time," leads a pack of five Matthews compositions that range from good to excellent. Elsewhere, Paul Siebel's heartbreaking "Louise," the dulcimer and harmony driven Appalachian gospel of "I'll Fly Away," and Roberts' readings of the playful "Yo Yo Man," Jim & Jesse's "Diesel on My Tail" and the mournful 1939 tale of "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight" are all highlights. Its title and artwork, along with notes by Charles Goerner on the flight and disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Frederick Noonan, gave In Search of Amelia Earhart the feel of a concept album, even though the title is nowhere to be found on the outside jacket and there are only two songs related to the subject contained within. It wasn't really a surprise when a follow-up, though recorded, failed to materialize, with the band parting ways on less than amicable terms, and Matthews going on to record two more records for Elektra. Still, In Search of Amelia Earhart fits nicely alongside the rest of his terrific early-'70's catalogue. (Allmusic)
Plainsong was a short-lived folk-rock outfit with country-rock leanings that briefly provided a pretty close British equivalent to the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Singer-songwriter Iain Matthews had been the frontman with Fairport Convention during their early West Coast-influenced period, and had subsequently enjoyed moderate success as a solo artist and with his pioneering British country-rock outfit Southern Comfort. His main collaborator in Plainsong would be guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Roberts, former musical kingpin of the loose collective of folk musicians and performance poets known as the Liverpool Scene. Rounding out the new band were bassist/pianist David Richards and Californian acoustic guitarist Bob Ronga, with percussion being provided on an ad-hoc basis by Iain’s former Fairport colleague Dave Mattacks or fellow folk-rock stalwart Timi Donald. The gentle irony of the band’s name belies their strengths: Matthews’s angelic voice and their superb four-part harmonies, plus immaculate instrumental backings. (Rising Storm)

J.B. HUTTO & The New Hawks - Slippin' and Slidin' '83 @320
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/81308508/file.html
Slippin' and Slidin' [Varrick, 1984]
Good new Chicago-style blues albums are rare occurrences. The slide guitar king makes his tightest and most raucous recorded music since 1968's definitive Hawk Squat! He gets telling (and tellingly understated) help from the Roomful of Blues horns. B+ (Robert Christgau)
Smoother production by Scott Billington than was normal for Hutto's scathing output, but not alarmingly so. With pianist Ron Levy and the Roomful of Blues horn section augmenting Hutto's New Hawks, the slide guitarist did himself proud on covers of Fenton Robinson's "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" and Junior Parker's "Pretty Baby," alongside a passel of his own distinctive compositions. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

VARIOUS - BLUE FLAMINGO: A SEARCH FOR CMS
The trip Ziya Ertekin aka Blue Flamingo made through Africa in 2011 took three months. An unforgettable adventure brought him to six countries. While in Kenya waiting for a flight to Cameroon, he decided to use this day to find out about the record label CMS (Capitol Music Store) (already defunct in the 60s). If the journey is more important than the destination, then this certainly applies to this quest. Upon colourful encounters in all parts of the city, not only the story behind CMS became clear but also about some other labels, such as AGS (African Gramophone Store) and Melodica. Gradually the history of East African music in general unfolded. "A Search for CMS 'is therefore above all a story that should be told. From the early acoustic guitar styles to the driving syncopated rhythms of the later Benga music. Thus, this album became a cross section of Kenyan music developed under various influences and circumstances. A special trip with a wonderful result.

Thanks Gyro for all your posts
This looks so neat. Thanks.
OK, I'm completely hooked on these two Blue Flamingo releases, and now I'm busily downloading all of the "New Kind of Mambo" posts.
Curse you, Red Baron! ;^)
And I say Thanks
