Compiled and annotated by Shindig!'s very own Andy Morten, Hungry For Kicks is the first compilation to exclusively concentrate on the Raiders at the absolute peak of their hit making powers.Before we go any further, here are some statistics worth pondering. During those all important years between 1965 and '69, the Raiders scored no less than 16 US hit singles, were the first rock act to be signed to Columbia – for whom they released eight albums – and, on the top of all this, had their own network TV show Where The Action Is.
Built around the partnership of Paul Revere, Mark Lindsay and co-songwriter and producer Terry Melcher, the 27 tracks on Hungry For Kicks represent no less than the absolute golden age of Raiders pop, if not American mainstream ’60s pop in general.
The band's habit of dressing themselves up in cheesy matching band outfits not to mention the notorious American Revolutionary garb may to a degree have compromised their credentials as a serious garage act but the real proof of the pudding lies in the quality and quantity of the selections showcased here.
Sequenced in non-chronological order the track listing literally bounces its way around between the twin landmarks of the Raiders' ’65 breakthrough 'Steppin' Out' and their last single release of the decade, the soulful 'We Gotta All Get Together' from late '69 with original (and often markedly different) single versions rubbing shoulders with a selection of the Raiders' most happening album tracks and a rare radio promo from ’67.
Whether its the out and out garage frenzy of 'Kicks', 'Hungry', 'Just Like Me', 'Steppin' Out', 'Louie, Go Home' or Boyce and Hart's 'I'm Not Your Stepping Stone' (which actually predated the Monkees’ hit version) or the more psych-tinged 'I Had A Dream', 'Peace Of Mind', 'The Great Airplane Strike', 'Why? Why? Why? (Is It So Hard)' and 'Tighter' you're well and truly spoilt for choice here whatever your bag.

THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BAND - THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BAND (1965)
ORIGINAL US MONO + 5 BONUS [WHAT'S SHAKING (1966) Elektra sampler]
All tracks MONO.
These mixes have never officially appeared on CD.
Prof. sez:
Another one in the series "essential in mono but not available on cd". Transferred from a vintage unsealed copy.
The mono version of this classic album has not been available since the late '60s. The fat greasy sound of the band was best captured on these vintage monaural mixes and therefore this is an essential addition to your collection. The bonus tracks are, of course, from the 1966 "What's Shaking" Elektra sampler. These tracks were sourced from the rejected initial sessions.

Thanks, Jimmie Dee. In 1967-1968 I saw Butterfield several times at various San Francisco ballrooms. Bloomfield had left the band, however. I think he was playing with Electric Flag at that time. I remember a late '67 show with The Electric Flag, The Byrds, and B.B. King and Bloomfield was with the Flag then.
I was always mesmerized by the guitar work of Elvin Bishop at the times I saw him with Butterfield. The guy had the most nimble fingers I had ever seen and he would make faces and sing the notes he was playing on his guitar. My friend Joel would sometimes parody him; make faces, contort his body, and sing out notes in a high guitar voice. The whole room would crack up!
Bishop had some tough times in his life. His daughter was kidnapped and viciously murdered, I believe.

THE FACES - A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse '71 @320
2014 Four Album Box Set Remaster (CD 3 OF 4)
http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/7074121/file.html
COVERS
http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/71755853/file.html
The Faces' third album, A Nod Is as Good as a Wink...to a Blind Horse, finally gave the group their long-awaited hit single in "Stay with Me," helping send the album into the Billboard Top Ten, which is certainly a testament to both the song and the album, but it's hard to separate its success from that of Rod Stewart's sudden solo stardom. In the mere months that separated Long Player and A Nod, Rod had a phenomenal hit with "Maggie May" and Every Picture Tells a Story, his third solo album, something that would soon irreparably damage the band, but at the time it was mere good fortune, helping bring them some collateral success that they deserved. Certainly, it didn't change the character of the album itself, which is the tightest record the band ever made. Granted that may be a relative term, since sloppiness is at the heart of the band, but this doesn't feel cobbled together (which the otherwise excellent Long Player did) and it serves up tremendous song after tremendous song, starting with the mean, propulsive "Miss Judy's Farm" and ending with the rampaging good times of "That's All You Need." In between, Ronnie Lane serves up dirty jokes (the exquisitely funny "You're So Rude") and heartbreaking ballads (the absolutely beautiful "Debris"), the band reworks a classic as their own (Chuck Berry's "Memphis") and generally serves up a nonstop party. There are few records that feel like a never-ending party like A Nod -- the slow moments are for slow dancing, and as soon as it's over, it's hard not to want to do it all over again. It's another classic -- and when you consider that the band also had Long Player to their credit and had their hands all over Every Picture in 1971, it's hard to imagine another band or singer having a year more extraordinary as this.

Thanks for the Paul Butterfield in mono. I listened to the mono album for years until I bought the CD, so this is a blast down memory lane!
Thank you for PR RIP
Jimmie Dee,
Thanks for all of your hard work and generosity in sharing another '60s gem in Mono!
I'm just curious - do you know if the Electric Flag album was ever reissued in mono? I've only ever come across the stereo version - and it is NOT a delight to listen to.
Gyro:
Thanks very much for providing the zippy link and this Paul Revere & the Raiders treat.

Discussion - I am using AAC instead of mp3 for these ProfStoned Flac files. My very experienced/successful music engineer friend (who works on all kinds of files) says that 320 AAC sounds better than MP3. He also assures me that anyone who uses music blogs has iTunes at this point. So I am using that format for Prof Stoned right now for the better 320 sound. Your thoughts on mp3 vs. AAC?
Thanks for the Paul Butterfield. I've been a fan of his music since the 60s when I heard him on swedish radio.
Weird, I'm up early, throttling down a morning coffee, flipping channels on the TV, and I watch a brief snippet of an ARTHUR cartoon, in which a character is saying "...blah blah listen here, and I will tell you...the story of Paul Revere," as he holds up a crayon image of him bolting forward on his horse. I turn it off, go to my laptop, check in on TZ, and lo and behold, a TZ send-off to the recently deceased namesake, e.e. our Paul Revere. Synchronicity or what?! Anyway, a set of wings will go nicely with those revolutionary threads (they should make you appear in a way that characterizes you best, in the great beyond). They say these strange coincidences usually come in threes, so maybe it's the harp-player connection....see above.
Thanks so much to everyone here for all the great tunes!

Gyro, I convert all flac files to 320 mp3s for my own use. I usually find the AAC files to be only 256 kps so I decided to stay with 320 mp3s.
PS I am not on iTunes.
Sad news about PR, but let us all send out positive thoughts for BB King.
This may be a long shot but with the recent Red Bird posts, perhaps not.
I've been looking for some of the girl group series "Here Come the Girls" and "Where the Girls Are" - if anyone has them to post, I'd love to sample them.
Thank you, Lil. A couple of great records that I hadn't heard before. By the way, "The Kolettes: Just How Much (Can One Heart Take)" is in stereo but it is a great mix.
Jukebox Lil:
"A Long Time Comin'" was issued in mono in the UK and as a mono promo (DJ copy) in the US.

320 mp3 is fine for me. Some albums I'll search for them in FLAC. Anyway I can convert anything with dbpoweramp. Thanks.
Jimmie Dee,
Thanks for the info about the Electric Flag reissue.
Johnny Diego,
Yeah, sorry, I meant to remove the erroneous mono tag before posting and forgot (haven't had my morning coffee yet!)
Cheers.

''AAC is a newer, more sophisticated codec than MP3. Was developed by a joint venture between Nokia and Sony in the second half of the 90s... Codecs are made of "algorithms", well...all the informatics is made of them...They are the "core" of everything we do with a computer...AAC algorithms are much better than MP3's. No matter the bitrate. And the codec pushed up to its ultimate limits reached the (crazy for a lossy) 450 Kbps!! Being AAC as pointed out ALWAYS an ABR/VBR codec that means if you encode at 320Kbps the resulting file will have transients at 450 Kbps...This is provable with Foobar2000 for Windows, the player that gives you real time the information about bitrate...In Foobar I never saw an AAC staying at 320Kbps... There is always a Peak "above"... In very complex music it reached its limit very easily...I repeat: 450 Kbps!! So...we have a much better implemented codec that can reach 128Kbps MORE than ANY MP3 codec...Guess who is the winner?'' -Azure
The Nero AAC Encoder is my favorite. But to be honest I can't hear the difference between 320k mp3 or 320k AAC.
Hi Ryp,
Just wanted to let you know that I clicked on the Aquarium Drunkard link in your blogroll and Norton notified me that it had blocked an attack (Severity: High) by "Sweet Orange Exploit Kit Website."
The owner of that blog doesn't seem to have cleared up his problem yet.
Jukebox Lil
Thanks for the Donays, Jukebox Lil. I'd love to hear more from your collection!
mp3 please! the others no play on admittedly rickety system
RIP Paul Revere. Saw Paul Revere and The Raiders at Geauga Lake Park in Ohio in the mid sixties on a show with Sonny & Cher and The Shang-Ri-Las and they tore up the place. For savage teen kicks live, nobody topped them, not the Stones, not the Beatles, and I seen em all.
awesome guys!!!
thanks!!
pvc
What lemonflag and ge said? Me, too. Anything comes my way in AAC, I convert it to mp3 - and if it's going to sit on a CD-RW for a little temporary usage, I go with wma or wav. I don't have anything (including iPod) that plays AAC.
Thanks for the Paul Revere set.
Any chance you have "Swingin' at the Seance" by the Moon-Rays?
Jukebox Lil:
Great tracks that I also had not heard before. The Donays had a terrific [early] Marvelettes sound. The "Bad Boy" flip side, "Devil In His Heart," is also cool.
Thanks for posting!
Let me know who objects to AAC. I will continue with MP3 if there is a problem with AAC for many people.
Gyro,
This Apple avoider doesn't use itunes or ipopds. Strictly MP3 or FLAC.
I also use dbpoweramp for conversions and greatly appreciate what everyone does here in any format!
Anonymous may be right when he states that Revere was equal to the Stones. However, I don't think so and to suggest this is absurd. I saw Revere in England in 1969 as opening band for the Beach Boys. Herman's Hermits immediately sprang to mind.Rowan.
Hey all thanks for all the great music shared on this blog I really enjoy it all, one question I click on the links for the 2 songs from jukebox lil only to find that they are no longer shared ?
TB
Folks..Kolettes and Donays have gone from the download site...removed !!!. is is possible to re-upload. Thanks in advance.
Jukebox Lil,
thanks, but I don't get a message if i go to AD...
Gyro, I've also read that AAC files are better than MP3s, but whatever is best for you to use, I'm sure we're all grateful. To be honest, I've got a good set of ears, but don't hear any audible difference between them. Still, if 320 AAC and 320 mp3 are offered, I'll still go for the AAC.
I've never figured out how to get FLAC files to play in iTunes. (I couldn't do without my ipod!)
Thanks for everything.
Jukebox Lil
Hi Ryp,
Maybe it's just poor souls like me who still use Internet Explorer/Windows 7 who could be impacted by that malware.
I would have liked to let him know that he's still or newly hacked, but won't risk going back to his site.
;-)
Jukebox Lil
Hi Gyro,
Whatever is best for you to use in terms of your monthly bandwidth is gratefully accepted.
I've also read that AAC files are better than mp3, but can't really hear the aural difference (and I've got a good ear). Still, if both were offered, I'd choose AAC.
(Can't get FLAC to play in iTunes - and I do LOVE my ipod.)
Regards,
Jukebox Lil
Tony B. and ProfCalculus,
Please check back here this afternoon (12:00 ET). I'll reupload the two songs I posted yesterday.
I had no idea there would be such a response to them, and I almost ran out of my monthly bandwidth on Box. ;-)

thanks prof stoned. the first 2 butterfield lps are masterpieces. i'm really excited to listen to this one in mono.
-peacenik
Jukebox Lil, your girl group files have been removed apaprently!
I to am anonymous.
Greetings, Thanks for all of the great stuff and also thank you for asking about formats. I don't have itunes. I use mp3 for space considerations and because they play on more stuff. When I downloaded your first 320 of all of those flac files and found it to be mp4 I went back and downloaded the flac and used foobar to convert to 320mp3. I won't argue about if mp4 is better. Quite simply, being able to measure that it is better doesn't necessarily mean that you can hear that it is better. Again, thank you - Skip
Jukebox lil, they are gone again....Many thanks for the kind response......Mucho Gracias always.
I wondered WHY I saw someone sharing “ORBIT (THE SPY)” and a small slew or two or a few other early PR&TRs classics just a bit ago................
The Legend lives on in the musical gifts he & his rockin' Raiders left us!
Meantime, thanks for the ongoing MONO mania!
I've seen that more than "of “these” (“profstoned” Mono albums) have cropped up on a site called “MONOLOVER”....... BUT there are NO links to HEAR them there.....!?!?!?!??!!?
(If anyone knows different, please clue me in!!!)
-B._B.
Sad news about Paul Revere. Another legend is gone.
Gyro - For the mp3 discussion I will add my name to the list of those who claim not to hear much (if any) difference between a good 320 and a Flac file. I've heard sound quality ranging from muffled to brilliant in both formats; in fact, I've gotten rid of some flac files and replaced them with solid 320 mp3 versions because they sounded just the same (or even better) without taking up so much space.
I'm also not an Itunes user; they kept trying to make me go to the Apple store and I finally switched to a different player (Mediamonkey, which I would argue is better).
Thank you for all the effort put toward this amazing music blog.
Another country heard from: I save FLAC files as they come because I know someday playing those files will be easier than it is now with iTunes. I know I can convert, but choose not to because it is effort.
The MP3 files etc. are imported & played in iTunes for my personal emotional pleasure - not for critical listening.
Thank you for asking and for everything you do for us.

Mr Ayeres, I would never suggest that Paul Revere & The Raiders were equal to the Rolling Stones, they were not, they were superior in my opinion.Having seen the Stones in 64 and 66, and PRR in 66 I recall the early Stones as a tough little R&B band with some stage presence still raw but undeniable. By 66 Brian Jones was bored/medicated and did not look at the audience, Jagger performed his moves without enthusiasm, frequently forgetting the lyrcs, Keith was not the lovable rock n roll manimal of later years, but on the road no doubt.
Paul Revere & The Raiders in '66 gave a performance that engaged the audience with call and response, dancing, which resulted in working the audience into a frenzy of teen dancing laughing singing as Mark Lindsay turned red in the face while screaming Ooh Poo Pah Doo. Paul Revere & The Raiders could never meet the metrics of the Stones. But if it is a laugh your ass off, dance, shout, knock-your-self out type of
sweaty teen fun, The Raiders were the best.
However it is true that Truman Capote, Andy Warhol and Margaret Trudeau never hung out with Mark Lindsey.
