"SURFIN', DRAGGIN' & TWISTIN'" - 1960's ROCK n' ROLL

Features the kingpins of 1960's Tennessee Surf world Bobby Russell, Bergen White and Buzz Carson who wrote surfin' hits for Jan & Dean.This covers some of the output of Nashville’s Spar label that specialised in quick turnaround covers of US hits, with some originals added to their range. In these cases they used the talents of Buzz Cason, Bobby Russell and Bergen White, who were also successful as Ronny & the Daytonas behind John Wilkin’s lead. There are eight surf or drag tracks of varying quality, the best being Two Plus Two (very Daytonas-like) and Tiger In My Tank, covers of a couple of Beach Boy songs and Sandy & The Beachcombers’ Daytona Darlin’, which is obviously rooted in Chuck Berry’s You Never Can Tell. Following this comes an assortment of beat items including a Beatle-ish Right Or Wrong, some teenbeat tracks and three Twist cash-ins. Everything is handled quickly and professionally, but don’t expect any real killer discoveries here. - Reviewed by Kingsley Abbott

Merry Xmas music lovers~

Another great year in the zone. Thanks to RYP, Jillem, Gyro, Searnav, Lo-Fi, Psyclist, Northern, Eltel, Clash, JC, J. Diego and myriad other contributors and commenters. This batch consists of fresh rips of shiny coasters, one vinyl rip redux, and a few downloads or torrents of indeterminate origin
Tagged/320k-No reposts that I know of-apologies if so.


Not Kaleidoscope (MX) or (UK). Fair to say (World) or (Harp Guitar)! I remember Johnny D. saying he saw them once. Since the rest of us weren't so lucky I compiled a couple of club dates and a festival appearance. Pretty good quality and astounding musicianship. They could do it all. Especially deconstructing James Brown! 'Say it literate!' to an Ash Grove audience no less.

The Monkees
Missing Links Volume 2.zip

This one has my all-time favorite Monkees tune: Valleri. Apparently DJs had to tape it from the TV broadcasts to satisfy listener demand. Took the record company a minute to release it. This volume also contains their version of the Xmas song, Riu Chiu from Spain.

The Houston piano man and North Star to the J.Geils band in a Huey Meaux session. If I only had a dime for every time I heard the album title when I wasn't doing my chores I'd be typing this from Cozumel.

The band who ruled Houston when it mattered. Similar situation to the Five Americans in Dallas. They had the guys and the girls. Could be savage punkers or bright pop stars as the occasion demanded ultimately ending in bubblegum territory. A long overdue and highly-deserved compendium.

In memory of P.F. Sloan
He produced this album in 1965 for Canadian teen idol Terry Black. So yeah it has those kinds of songs and those kinds of session musicians. Catnip to my ears...

Ace the Face as in Ace Kefford from the Move. Poor guy had a Syd Barrett style bad time there. Most of this material was lost for years. Includes tracks from his post-Move career with entities like the Ace Kefford Stand and William Chalker's Time Machine.

A redux of my first TZ share this summer. A vinyl rip of a long gone singles comp of the Elvis of South Texas, Denny Ezba. Now with scratchy bonus tracks found on my HD! Augie Myers is on keys here. This is before the Sir Douglas Quintet formed.

Black Xmas
Downloaded this in Xmas '09. Maybe Lux Interior put this together? Holiday tunes from King Curtis, John Lee Hooker, Elvis, the Sonics with some real obscurities by the Brown Dots and the Coolbreezers.. I added my favorite Xmas song at the end 'Las Mañanitas' by the Tijuana Brass. Herb and company do an evocative instro version.

Ics House Slim, thanks for these gems!

Holy cow the Jodimars are incredible. No disrespect to Bill, but these guys took the Haley formula and dosed it with 5-hour energy drink. And if you do a Google image search, you'll see they look pretty cool, too.
