The Persuaders "Thin Line Between Love And Hate" 1971

Thin Line Between Love & Hate is a landmark album – one of the greatest harmony soul albums of the early 70s! The title cut is one you'll know instantly – as "Thin Line Between Love & Hate" is one of those soul classics that never gets old – and the rest of the album's equally great, with a sublime mix of rough and sweet that the group was never able to duplicate again. The sound is incredible – with arrangements by Richard Poindexter, and backings by the group Young Gifted & Bad, who often use a bit of vibes behind the vocals, which makes for a really cool sound! (Dusty Groove)

THE SUNSHINES

The Sunshines were short-lived members of a Brazilian music movement in the mid- to late-60’s known as “Jovem Guarda”, which sprung from and was named after a television program of the same name. The style was a blend of influences from the US and Europe, merging 50’s early US rock’n’roll with first-gen British Invasion beat and the chanson teen-pop of French ye-ye crooners. The Jovem Guarda sound exploded among young listeners in Brazil but, sadly, many of these infectious bands never made it out of South America, neither by plane nor by reputation, even though the genre has clear and relevant connections to popular music all over the world. The domain of Jovem Guarda music as a whole came and went in only four or five years, but as the hottest trending topic of the times, they produced an impressively large & fascinating body of work that spread in the same grassroots manner that we saw garage bands flourish in the US: with local acts, small record labels, and an adoring public that was hungrier for the music itself than any particular band who played it.

Like many bands in the genre, The Sunshines gained their first national attention and success after appearing on the “Jovem Guarda” TV show. Their short but sweet catalog stands as an excellent example to represent the craft, equally weighing the genre’s primary influences without becoming copycat-ish or trite. They cover quite a few US & UK hits of the day, morphing them into their own concoctions with Portuguese lyrics and Brazilian rhythms, and playing more like translated versions than mere cover songs.

PS: Stay tuned for more Jovem Guarda bands in the future, I think a lot of TZ’ers are really gonna dig this stuff.

ULTIMATE SPINACH

Forever associated with the so-called “Bosstown Sound” of Boston, they ran the whole gamut of psychedelia from hippy-country-folk-pop to balls-deep acidhead freakouts and smooth “everything is going to be ok” cool-down grooves. They experienced a disproportionately high rate of turnover for only having a three- or four-year run, with members coming & going or switching postitions so frequently that each album has seemingly little in common with the others in terms of arrangements, production, or even the core instruments involved. Not that this is qualitatively bad - even if each album stands alone, they are still all very good in their own way. However, a major drawback to this approach is that fans just don’t stick around too long; and eventually, neither do the record deals. I think vinyl rips of a couple of these albums have been shared here recently, these versions are all remastered CD editions (the first two with a couple of bonus 7” mono versions each). The live show is a relatively new release of an old tape, recorded at the club in Boston where they were discovered.

Thanks for The Persuaders, and to LoFi Larry for Ultimate Spinach.
The first two Ultimate Spinach LPs have been mocked (not unfairly) for embodying the lamest cliches of of Hippie Psychedelic thought in it's lyrics.
However, if you're like me and love psychedlic music you'll find them very enjoyable.

Tanx LFL. Behold & See is a great period piece for 1968. Sounded great to a college freshman!

I always thought that the first Ultimate Spinach LP was a carbon copy of "Electric Music For the Mind ANd Body" from Country Joe & The Fish: "Ballad of the Hip Death Goddess"<"Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine," for example.
