Deejays came to Sweden from England in 1963 as a result of the exchange program between the two countries. If a English band wanted to tour in Sweden a Swedish band was sent over to the British Islands to do a tour as well. Deejays didn’t just make that tour but stayed in Sweden for over five years. They recorded several singles and two albums, and was number one on the charts two times. This track is from the Swedish Radio show “Tonårskväll” (Teenage Night), probably broadcasted in 1965. The band plays a cover, or as it was called at the time “plankning” (planking), on The Kinks song “I’m a hog for you baby”. Deejays was one of the best live bands you could see at the time in Sweden. Virtuosos on their instrument and with their British origin the vocals didn’t have the stumbling pronunciations. Deejays wasn’t alone to do Scandinavia as their new home for fame, Finland had The Renegades and Denmark The Red Squares. Today it’s only the drummer Erle Morgan who still lives in Sweden. http://swedishbeat.wordpress.com/tag/deejays/

Band on the Run was a commercial success, but even if it was billed as a Wings effort, it was primarily recorded by Paul, Linda, and Denny Laine. So, it was time to once again turn Wings into a genuine band, adding Joe English and Jimmy McCulloch to the lineup and even letting the latter contribute a song. This faux-democracy isn't what signals that this is a band effort -- it's the attitude, construction, and pacing, which McCartney acknowledges as much, opening with an acoustic title track that's a salute to arena rock, leading to a genuine arena rock anthem, "Rock Show." From that, it's pretty much rocking pop tunes, paced with a couple of ballads and a little whimsy, all graced with a little of the production flair that distinguished Band on the Run. But where that record was clearly a studio creation and consciously elaborate, this is a straightforward affair where the sonic details are simply window dressing. McCartney doesn't really try anything new, but the songs are a little more varied than the uniform, glossy production would suggest; he dips into soft-shoe music hall shuffle on "You Gave Me the Answer," gets a little psychedelic with "Spirits of Ancient Egypt," kicks out a '50s rock & roll groove with "Magento and Titanium Man," and unveils a typically sweet and lovely melody on "Listen to What the Man Said." These are a slight shifts on an album that certainly feels like the overture for the arena rock tour that it was, which makes it one of McCartney's more consistent listens, even though it's possible to scan the song listing after several listens and not recognize any song outside of "Listen to What the Man Said" and the opening medley by title.

PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS - Wings at the Speed of Sound ’76 (Deluxe Edition 2014) @320
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/17120820/file.html
The Sound? Immaculate, Pristine, Gorgeous, Amazing, Spectacular
Like Venus & Mars before, SPEED OF SOUND continued Wings as a group effort, with lead vocals from literally every member, including Linda (of course) who provides lunch in the kitchen during this outing with Wings. Denny's Time To Hide, and Jimmy's Wino Junko are both nice pop numbers. Aside from the lead off hits on each side of the LP, there is much to enjoy about SPEED, especially Macca's hard rock edge Beware My Love, with grinding guitar and driving drum work. On the bonus disc you can't miss with John Bonham's drumming on an alternate version of Beware My Love. For fans who dig this tune, the alternate is a real treasure (not to mention Led Zeppelin fans, which makes this a double-dipped gold bon-bon). Let `Em In is quite possibly Macca's most well loved hit single, it is both nostalgic, reminiscent of many of Paul's familial influences, as well as musical, and makes name-dropping references to them all. It is easily one of the catchiest tunes to ever have a #1 radio run. Silly Love Songs can wear thin over time, but it still remains attractive and as stated before, makes a message of the entire package with no apologies. (Beatlenik)

THREE DOG NIGHT - Captured Live At The Forum ’69 [2013 Japan SHM-CD UICY-75564] @320
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/77060891/file.html
It's taken close to 20 years into the CD era to get decent remasterings of Three Dog Night's catalog, and it says something about Universal Music, which owns that catalog, that none of the upgrades have come from them -- rather, Gottdiscs and now Edsel have brought these improved versions to the public. From a vantage point 30 years after their heyday, these reissues may not seem too important, but those of you old enough should remember that Three Dog Night at one point were achieving the kind of popularity only previously enjoyed by the Beatles and a handful of other groups, pulling in listeners from the ranks of teeny-boppers, college kids, and the then "underground" FM radio audience. Captured Live at the Forum was so ubiquitous that it turned up with astonishing regularity in the collections of kids who did a lot of acid and suburbanite teens who otherwise listened to the Carpenters and the Partridge Family. And with good reason: it was the album that proved this band was more than a radio phenomenon; that they could (and did) make as great music on stage as they did on their records, and their reputation was made from it. The remastering and the accompanying boost in clarity and volume makes the live Forum material seem all the more impressive, and is a reminder of precisely how great this group was in their early years, a pop/rock phenomenon that deserved both ends of their success and a lot of credibility. The Harmony material is a little less intense. The band had settled into a formula by then, a little more than a year later, and was more pop-focused, but they could still pile on virtuosity to match the versatility, and it's great to hear this material with the kind of presence it deserved in playback, so you can see why even some of the more questionable moments, such as "Never Dreamed You'd Leave Me in Summer," seem more justifiable. (Bruce Eder, Allmusic)
Three Dog Night were one of the seventies most popular groups and though most of their songs were composed by other songwriters (Paul Williams, Hoyt Axton, Randy Newman and Nilsson to name a few), the combination of three excellent lead singers and a fantastic backup band, it's no wonder they had more hits than most bands. This concert recorded on September 12th, 1969 at The Forum in Los Angeles, is one of the best concerts this reviewer has ever heard. The songs are from Three Dog Night's first two albums such as "Heaven Is In Your Mind", "Feelin' Alright", "It's For You", "Nobody", "One", "Chest Fever", "Try A Little Tenderness", "Eli's Coming", and "Easy To Be Hard". The sound quality of this cd is good (it's obvious this is not from the original master tape) but certainly could benefit from remastering if MCA ever gets off their butts. If the Japanese can remaster the entire Three Dog Night catalog so should MCA. If you had any doubts as to how great a band Three Dog Night were then one listen to this "live" cd will quickly change your mind. (Crawdaddy)

Thank you for all your work.
Thank you for the awesome Dee Jays CD, RYP & Gyro. I saw it in the store recently, but held off on buying it because there were too many cover tunes on it.
Definitely a good listen, though not as "fantastic" as the Pittsburgh band of a similar name!

jimmie d responds: Hogwash! Eder has overrated Three Dog Night. I liked their first two albums, but this group never came close to enjoying a Beatlemania-type popularity. I was a paperboy during 1963 and 1964 in the USA, and I can tell you that The Beatles were a front-page story day after day. If not the front page of the A section, then certainly a front page story in the Style section. Even kids' grandparents could call each individual Beatle by name. To this day, I couldn't tell you who makes up Three Dog Night.
I'm not badmouthing the group - just the review.
Thanks for the new Macca reissues!!!
Great stuff, as always! One note: it appears that Disc 2 of "Venus & Mars" contains the same audio as Disc 1, rather than the Bonus Audio material. Repost, perhaps? Thanks again!
Thanks
After hearing my future wife play me Three Dog Night I played her the original recordings and she never went back. They had their 15 minutes and are just a distant memory now.
help note: Paul & Wings_Venus & Mars bonus disc 2 link, contains a duplicate copy of disc 1...so no bonus disc. Otherwise, thanks as always fur alles.
Both links of Venus & Mars are for the same disc.
