THE IMMEDIATE SINGLES COLLECTION VOL 2
Sony Music 1991 (@320)

http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/CxysdxAy/file.html


In 1965, having already managed the Rolling Stones to the top of the international charts,
Andrew Loog Oldham launched a label. Immediate Records — whose eclectic roster included the
Small Faces, Keith Emerson’s Nice, the original Fleetwood Mac, and Rod Stewart — became one
of the decade’s hippest, most musically imaginative pop/rock producers. Most of these tracks
will be unfamiliar to all but connoisseurs of vintage British pop, but both CDs on The
Immediate Singles Collection are amply stocked with great songs and performances that don’t
need household names to recommend them. -- Entertainment Weekly

Back around January 17 I posted the first volume of this series. For those who still want
it here is the link:

http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/U4xJ9yrp/file.html

Looking through some CDs that I don't often listen to the other day I discovered Volume 2 and
I've decided to post it here today. Being American I was familiar with the British
Invasion, The McCoys, Small Faces, and I even saw The Nice in 1968, but honestly until I
heard this record I didn't know many of the groups here. But I am crazy about 60s Rock and
Gyro's Teenage Shutdown series has my juices flowing. So here goes. Hope you like it. --
JohnnyDiego

1. Lazy Sunday - Small Faces 2. So Much In Love - Charles Dickens 3. Get Back - Amen Corner
4. Baby, Don't Do It - The Poets 5. Daytime Girl - Billy Nicholls 6. Goin' Back - Goldie 7.
You're So Good To Me - The Factotums 8. Hang On Sloopy - The McCoys 9. You're So Good For Me
- Twice As Much 10. Little Miss Understood - Rod Stewart 11. (Tell Me) Have You Ever Seen Me
- Apostolic Intervention 12. Fever - The McCoys 13. Salt Lake City - Tony Rivers & the
Castaways 14. Happy Miranda - Excelsior Spring 15. Big City - Nicky Scott 16. Here Comes The
Nice - Small Faces 17. Would You Believe It? - Billy Nicholls 18. She Was Perfection -
Murray Head 19. The Great Train Robbery - Outer Limits 20. America - The Nice

JOHN LEE HOOKER - Boogie with John Lee Hooker '14 (Modern 1950’s Recordings) (Ace UK LP) @320

Johnny Williams, Texas Slim, Birmingham Sam, even John Lee Booker ... Whatever you want to call him, he had the boogie disease, and it’s in him, and it’s got to get out, and from 1949 to his death in 2001 John lee Hooker did indeed boogie like no one else could. There’s something about the relationship between his foot and his right hand that creates an irresistible urge to dance – and mostly without the aid of bass, drums or even bongos. I remember Rita Ray one night dropping the needle on a Hooker boogie in the middle of a bunch of high energy African rhythms and the dancers didn’t miss a step.
So for those DJs who still prefer to move the groove from a slab of wax, this 14-track long-player is essential. Having friends around for a sherry? Well, just pop this album on and they’ll be boogieing like a night on the Jack Daniels. And if the following morning you can still focus, check the notes from Herb Fenstein drawn from an unpublished early ’60s recorded interview in which Hooker talks frankly about his life and times and his secular approach to the blues. Good, even for a Sunday morning.

20/20 - Sex Trap '82 @320

20/20 was an American power pop band based in Hollywood, California. They were active from 1977 to 1983. This was their third album.


In the late Seventies, the term "Powerpop" was resurrected by Bomp magazine, and in a manner similar to the spread of the term "No Depression," applied to the music of bands who ignored progressive rock, stadium rock, disco, and singer-songwriter styles that topped the charts. Badfinger, the Raspberries, the Nazz, and the Dwight Twilley Band all got retroactively termed "power pop." 20/20 was among the first "new" bands to get the label. Worse still, the whole of the L.A. pop scene had already become a single movement to the media and Bomp powerpop tag became the favored way to describe it. When the enormous backlash against the Knack hit "My Sharona", it virtually ended the careers of many far superior L.A. bands, among them 20/20 and the Plimsouls, who were undoubtedly the other two most popular bands of the scene. 20/20's label could never translate radio play and sold-out shows into national chart success, so when the label wanted to do a third album, 20/20 declined, they might have better luck elsewhere. A new deal with a major label fell through, leaving the band without a label and still in debt from the initial advance, so the band released their third album Sex-Trap in 1982 on their own Mainway Records. Spurred by more critical acclaim, the album was picked up by Enigma in 1983, two songs "Sex-Trap" and "Fast Car" were remixed, one song dropped "Please Please (Listen To Me)" and one song added, the fantastic "Jack's Got A Problem", but again, the band had signed to the label "Enigma" that would later become successful before the band had any hit records. Later, Sex-Trap would be reissued (1999) in Japan with a bonus song "Best Of Your Life". (Power Pop)

JIMMY WEBB - And Someone Left The Cake Out In The Rain...- The Classic Songs of Jimmy Webb @320

This 18-song compilation is an interesting mixture of some of the best-known -- and a few of the least-favored -- versions of Jimmy Webb's songs, all of which are eminently listenable. Webb's own version of "Didn't We" comes off very well in the company of renditions of "If This Were the Last Song," "If Ships Were Made to Sail," "Where's the Playground Susie?," and "The Highwayman" by, respectively, Bill Medley, Scott Walker, Glen Campbell, and the Highwaymen; and while the Johnny Mann Singers are no substitute for the Fifth Dimension, their version of "Up, Up and Away" is convincingly, infectiously upbeat. The sound is excellent, and the sheer variety of sounds, from Judy Collins ("The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress") to Donna Summer ("MacArthur Park"), makes this entertaining listening, and it's entirely possible that even many fans of Webb's music may not have heard his version of "Didn't We." (Allmusic)

2. Wichita Lineman-Glen Campbell
3. Do What You Gotta Do-Four Tops

Thanks Gyro for these 3 compilations of psychedelic music. I was too young at the end of the 60's for this music, but a lot of these songs are allways great. That makes me remember to a young psychedelic group named Blue Pills, you can find it on the 7th january 2015 on :

Gyro, love ya, and I comment what I hope is articulate and heartfelt thanks on a semi-regular basis, been visiting forever but: " I just can't used to the hipster "thanks for the drops, dude" type of speak, but I guess that's just my hang up.

Yeah, I think so! C'mon...you didn't have slang back in your day? Gee, the 60s and 70s were filled with slang, much of it still in use today. In fact,wasn't it the 60s when white people started co-oping "dude" from black culture? It sounds a little ageist, something I constantly am struggling with myself (I live in NYC), so I empathize! Anyways, how do you know it was some young hipster, and not some old jazz hipster! Or if it was a "hipster" at all! Isn't the fact that they thanked you, in their own way, enough?

Maybe you should put up an age requirement! (I'm almost 50, is that ok? I probably wouldn't say "thanks for the drops,dude"....but I might!)

I'm saying this all with a smile on my face and a light-hearted joshing tone, I hope it reads that way..... these horrible young hipsters are inheriting one horrendous world.....cut 'em a break, I mean....if they're here (and thanking you!), it means they have great taste in music! And in their young collections, it means the music is seeded and lives on! Which is what we want, right?

And as far as YOU are concerned, from our point of view.....damn right...thanks for the drops, dude, indeed!! Thanks VERY much for the "drops"! (I think that's "needle drops" is what he's talking about!) I get it! "the drops"! Cool! Hey, thanks for the Roland Kirk drops, dude!!!

:D

Gyro1966 said...

D - it has nothing to do with age or whatever about a term like "drops" or "sophomore album" instead of second album, or "wait for it" or "really" or whatever other term is used. I actually get a kick out of the way the language changes and how people adopt new terms out of the blue. These sayings can annoy me slightly when I'm in a weird mood, but I've always been that way. I'm just having my own little fun as well, and we all appreciate the good comments here. So enjoy the music in whatever way you want to describe the albums.
