The '60s were the first golden age for women in rock & roll; if it would be a while before self-contained bands with female instrumentalists became a presence on the pop charts, producers discovered there was a great demand for female artists, in vocal groups and as singing soloists, on pop records that dealt with the more melodramatic aspects of teenage romance. Dozens of promising female artists found success with what became known as "the girl group sound," and collectors would in time discover that plenty of songs from the period that didn't chart were just as satisfying as those that did. Hey Lover Boy!: An Assortment of Girlie Tracks of the 60s features 25 lesser-known gems from the girl group era, mostly from obscure artists, though future country icon Dolly Parton shows up on a fine pop tune, "Don't Drop Out," while Darlene Love's early group the Blossoms turns up with the song "Lover Boy," and Joanie Sommers, who scored a hit with "Johnny Get Angry," is represented with "I'd Be So Good for You." Other gems include "Daddy You Just Gotta Let Him In" by the Satisfactions, "Don't Drag No More" by Susan Lynne, Donna Lynn covering the Rolling Stones with a gender switch on "I'd Much Rather Be with the Girls," and "Better Off Without You" by Beverly Noble. If you have a taste for classic girl group sounds and '60s pop music with grand-scale production, Hey Lover Boy! is full of the hooks and heartache you're looking for. (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

I’m glad everybody enjoyed the blizzard of one-album wonders the other day, and thank you very much for all of the kind words. It’s always been my pleasure to share here and an honor to be included in this community. Thank you Ryp for opening your comments section to us and for fostering such a great spirit of knowledgeable sharing and friendly conversation. Thank you Gyro for inviting me to share here several months ago, and for being such a fine example to the rest of us. And thank you to all of the other posters, uploaders, commenters, and participants – it seems so unusual to find an online community of this size these days who are so consistently generous, civil, and respectful. The quality of music around here gets a person through the door, but the quality of people makes a person stay.
LoFi, I second that emotion.

LEMMY/Motörhead BONUS 1 OF 2
Motörhead - The Essential (2007) @320
Two CDs dedicated to the majestic Rock mayhem that is Motorhead. There's Heavy Metal. There's Rock 'N' Roll. And then there's Mot”rhead, the unique institution that combines them both with evil panache and blows your speakers in the process... With a list of hits to die for and three decades on the road, Mot”rhead are nothing short of a phenomenon; without doubt one of the hardest-rocking acts Britain has ever produced. This stunning compilation presents Lemmy and Co.'s finest moments, but be advised that it's definitely not for the faint-hearted. After all, this is the band who said 'If we moved in next door to you, your lawn would die!' 39 songs including 'Eat The Rich', 'White Line Fever' and more. (Metro. 2007)
There have been so many Motörhead compilations that the decision as to which one you pick up might come down to whether you're insistent on having one or two of their specific lesser-known songs. This is one of the better ones, however, if only because, as it's a double CD, it offers more material than most of them. (And it is not, incidentally, the same as the similarly titled Essential Noize: The Very Best of Motörhead, which came out on the same label, Metro, just a couple years before this 2007 release; that previous package was a single disc, not a two-CD collection.) If you're one of those fans who thirst for career-spanning overviews, The Essential also offers a wider chronological breadth than some other compilations, its 39 tracks spanning releases from 1977 to 1992, though the bulk of it's drawn from the late '70s and early '80s. Most of the consensus picks for Motörhead best-ofs -- "Motörhead," "White Line Fever," "Louie Louie," "Overkill," "Bomber," "Ace of Spades," "Iron Fist," "Shine," "Killed by Death," and the cover of Johnny Kidd's "Please Don't Touch" (actually Motörhead with Girlschool, and credited to "Headgirl") -- are here, though some may quibble with the absence of cuts like "No Class" and "Jailbait." Though not overly comprehensive, the liner notes give satisfactory discographical details and comments about every track. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

LEMMY/Motörhead BONUS 2 OF 2
Motörhead - No Remorse '84 @320
There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for Motörhead were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd Another Perfect Day album -- No Remorse compiled two-dozen songs across two discs (latter-day editions adding a good serving of bonus tracks, too). Many of the band's best songs to date are here, like "Ace of Spades," "Stay Clean," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Fist." There are also four new recordings that were cut exclusively for No Remorse: "Killed by Death," "Snaggletooth," "Steal Your Face," and "Locomotive." These four songs were cut by the newly instated four-piece lineup that would go on to record Orgasmatron (1986): guitarists Michael Burston and Phil Campbell, drummer Peter Gill, and of course, bassist/vocalist Lemmy. These new recordings make No Remorse more than a standard greatest-hits package, as do the number of stray recordings compiled here as well. For starters, No Remorse rounds up "Please Don't Touch" and "Emergency," which were released on a 1981 split EP with Girlschool, St. Valentines Day Massacre. It also rounds up an early single ("Louie, Louie") as well as a pair of B-sides ("Too Late, Too Late" and "Like a Nightmare") and a tossed-about live cover "Leaving Here." The inclusion of these stray recordings likewise makes No Remorse more than a standard greatest-hits package. Rather, it's a collection that caters to newbies as well as completists. And furthermore, it plays well, as the new songs and stray material are sequenced toward the end of each LP side, so the collection ebbs and flows between the familiar and unfamiliar, between the great and good. Granted, a straightforward best-of collection may be more suitable to newcomers looking for a one-stop compilation. For instance, No Remorse doesn't account for the wealth of music Motörhead would release post-1984, and too, it misses a lot of great songs that could have taken the place of the odds and ends rounded up here. So a straight-ahead, single-disc chronological survey would be a nice alternative, especially one that accounts for late-'80s highlights like "Deaf Forever," "Orgasmatron," "Rock 'n' Roll," and "Eat the Rich." But there's something to be said for tradition, and No Remorse is to Motörhead what We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll is to Black Sabbath -- an age-old collection that every metalhead seemed to own at some point, the one that seemed to define the band for generations on end. No Remorse is one of those classic albums, no doubt. (Allmusic)

Lofi, thanks for the Early Girls, I seem to remember back in the day it was the early girls that got the worm...
I too am anonymous.
Thanks LoFi Larry for all of the great music here. TZ is lucky to have you as a contributor - your knowledge is appreciated.
Thank you Ryp, Gyro, Larry, Searnav, etc. The list is too long to mention everybody but if you weren't mentioned, consider yourself included. 2015 has been a very good year here at Twilight Zone. Special thanks to Johnny for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band which I missed originally. TZ is indeed a special place.
