THE FALCONS "I Found A Love" 1959-1962

Propelled by 19-year-old Wilson Pickett's pulverizing vocal and Robert Ward's brain-numbing, trembling guitar, this soul classic peaked at number six R&B.Often credited as having cut the first true soul record in 1959 with "You're So Fine," a host of '60s soul stars called themselves Falcons at one time or another, including founder Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, Sir Mack Rice, and 100 Proof Aged in Soul's Joe Stubbs. Originally an integrated R&B group headed by Floyd, the Falcons debuted on Mercury in 1955. Under the production aegis of Robert West, the Falcons' sound became more gospel-based as time passed, and with Stubbs as lead, the seminal "You're So Fine" was a major hit in 1959. Pickett screamed the gospel-fired ballad "I Found a Love" to national prominence on West's LuPine label in 1962, backed by guitarist Robert Ward's Ohio Untouchables. When Pickett went solo shortly thereafter, the members went their separate ways. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

I was overwhelmed by requests for this, so I thought I’d finally get it out of the way so you guys can stop bugging me about it! 

This is a reconstruction of the proposed double-album version of Paul McCartney & Wings’ Red Rose Speedway.  As you know, Wings had such a wealth of recorded material from 1972 that the highly anticipated follow-up the lackluster Wildlife was originally intended to be a double-album.  Due to label pressure—as well as unselfish sound advice from fellow Wings members—McCartney chose instead to prune the album down to a more marketable single-album.  While some claim this was a wise move that ‘trimmed the fat’ of what might have been a weak album, others believe it was mistake and in effect created the great unreleased Wings treasure.  Either way, this reconstruction attempts to collect all the serious-contender material from the Red Rose Speedway sessions (gathered from two official remasters, three bootlegs and a posthumous Linda McCartney album!) and to sequence them into the double album that never was.  Almost all of the tracks have been either crossfaded or closely edited to make four continuous vinyl-sides of music. 

At first glance this may appear to be an easy task: we have two authentic and completely different early double-album tracklists for reference.  But a test-listen of both sequences will show you the glaring errors that most likely contributed to Red Rose Speedway’s eventual single-disc release.  The first sequence (info provided by Chip Mandiger with sides articulated by cbseventy’s Recording Sessions) is a two-disc acetate dated 12/13/72 that features an A-side running time of 13 minutes and a D-side running time of 27 minutes.  Surely this cannot be feasible, neither for a 1972 album release nor our purposes here!  The second sequence (info provided by Bruce Spizer) is a 2-disc acetate, seeming to be a revision of the Mandiger acetate that excludes “1882” and “Jazz Street” but replaces them with “Best Friend”, “Seaside Woman” and the “Hold Me Tight” medley.  While this appears to be a more refined sequence, the track flow is simply atrocious and lacks all cohesion and sonic progression completely.  No wonder McCartney scrapped his dream of a double-album from the sessions!  For our purposes, our only solution is to use elements of both tracklists as a guide to create our own unique sequence that would unify the material.

PERRY COMO - Juke Box Baby 1945-1961 (Bear Fam CD @320)

http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/17170830/file.html

Perry Como rocks! He would have been aghast at the notion, but in the mid-to-late 1950s, he recorded a slew of singles that weren't really rock 'n' roll, but definitely rocked. These records are now heralded as the era's classics: Kewpie Doll, Round And Round, Ko Ko Mo, Tina Marie, Hot Diggity, Catch A Falling Star, Magic Moments, Juke Box Baby, Glendora, Dancin', and Just Born To Be Your Baby. Those songs featured the era's top songwriters like Burt Bacharach, Leiber & Stoller, and Luther Dixon. Now they're joined by a selection of Perry's other uptempo songs from 1945's Hubba Hubba (Dig You Later) to early '60s hits like Delaware and Caterina. In between is sandwiched even more classics like Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes (the biggest-selling record of 1953!).

1. Kewpie Doll
2. Jukebox Baby
3. Moon Talk

Thanks Gyro for Perry Como.
I've read good critics for him but the cd I've bought was in horrible quality. This time I'll hear your version with pleasure.

When The Falcons nailed it, they were truly one of the most thrilling combinations of doo-wop, soul, and a heavy dose of gospel to round out the mix...thanks for both collections!
