Jimmy Castor "Hey Leroy" (Your Mama’s Calling You) '67

An excellent bit of Latin groove – one of our favorite crossover boogaloo sets from the 60s, and easily some of the greatest work ever by Jimmy Castor! And yes, this is the same Jimmy Castor who's known for his funk albums of the 70s – but back in the day, he was open-minded enough to work in genres that included doo wop, harmony soul, and Latin – the last of which he does surprisingly well! The album's got a wonderfully earthy Spanish Harlem groove throughout – heard most famously on the title hit – "Hey Leroy", a fierce romp with a heavy piano groove that's clearly inspired by the work of Joe Cuba – but burning hard throughout on a variety of groovy covers and hard-hitting originals! Lots of piano, searing sax, snapping percussion, and humorous lyrics – and tracks include "Ham Hocks Espagnole", "Our Day Will Come", "Hey Willie", and "Southern Fried Frijoles".  © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.trax:

Peter Zaremba's Love Delegation "Delegation-Time" 1988

There's always that one simple, mindless dance band that hits all the right notes - for me it was Love Delegation. As any devotee of What Wave is aware, in my dictionary the words God and Fleshtones are interchangeable, so any band with even the remotest link to the Fleshtones peaks my interest. So, when I ran across the Love Delegation album 'Spread the Word' quite a number of years ago, featuring main men, Peter Zaremba and Keith Streng I just had to check more closely. Further study revealed names like Bill Milhizer (making 3 'tones in total), Barrence Whitfield (of Savages fame), Wendy Wild (Mad Violets), Kenny Margolis (Lucky 7), Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus), Pat Dinizio (Smithereens) and so forth. And the music, well just good 'ole happy rock and roll. Dance music as it should be played - no pretension, just a great beat you can boogie to. "I give it a 10, Dick."…...The almost as star studded 'Delegation Time' appeared two years later and continued the party rock tradition. But, since then, nothing. Since we had Peter Zaremba at the mercy of our microphone during the latest Fleshtones appearance in London, we decided to ask about just what was happening in Delegation country.
What Wave: What happened to the Love Delegation?
Peter Zaremba: What happened to the Love Delegation is kinda like what happened to first class sleeper cars on transcontinental trains. It was just too expensive basically. It's just difficult to get that Many people together and play all these instruments and record all that and try to do it for a ridiculously small budget. I lost money on both records. I was happy with the records, I was disappointed that none of then were ever released in North America.
WW: Was the second only released in Spain?
PZ: No, it was issued in France and sold quite a few. And in England too, it got really good reviews surprisingly. It was never released in America in any way. So I was very disappointed about that actually.
WW: Did the band ever play live?
PZ: The band started by playing live. It played live in New York a lot and actually went to France and did a weekend tour - 3 shows in France. We did some great stuff. Played the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and stuff. But, what it really boiled down to was that it was too expensive. After all you can't ask people to do things for free or for $20 or stuff.
WW: Especially some of the names you had on the records.
PZ: They're all really nice people. At any rate though, to tell you the truth, The Fleshtones are now making records again and stuff so there's more than enough to do really. That's the truth. If we had been making records at that point we would never have done the Love Delegation. Who knows, maybe there'll be another record someday. - © 1992 Dave O'Halloran, What Wave #21.The Love Delegation:

"Hip City" Tales From The Funky Side Of Town 1967-1977

During the time of the civil rights movements in America, black artists began seeking a positive identity for themselves through music. Led by artists like James Brown and Curtis Mayfield, an unbridled optimism shined through the music of black Americans. Hip City contains 14 tracks that form a snapshot of this exciting musical period, pinpointing some of the exact records that helped make words like "soul" and "funky" the exquisite territory of black performers. Syl Johnson's shrugs off the chains of authority and makes a claim for black independence on "Right On". James Brown gets up and struts his inimitable funky stuff on "Mashed Potato Popcorn". Andre Williams adopts some slower Blues phrasing to tell the tale of "Cadillac Jack" while S.O.U.L. tell their story to a wildly funky soundtrack and Alvin Cash shows us how to "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" on "Ali Shuffle". From start to finish, Hip City is stuffed with powerful funk gems that ooze quality. --Paul Sullivan, The Soul Detectivetrax:

"Living The Nightlife" Rare Sixties Soul (Kent)

Kent Records has set the standard for various-artists CDs in the U.K., displaying as much care with the packaging as they do compiling the songs, and this compilation features another sterling line-up of soul rarities and classics. Jack Montgomery's excellent "Dearly Beloved," for instance, is worth a fortune on 45, and you'll search long and hard to find a copy of Walter Johnson's obscure "Love Keeps Me Crying." Fred Hughes' "Send My Baby Back" was a mild R&B hit and Maxine Brown's "It's Torture" should have been. Big Maybelle is always magic, and the Shirelles' "Groovy Guy" is one girl group gem that you've probably never heard, featuring some male group sounds too. Living the Nightlife's 24 tracks offer plenty for the ears, and the packanging is easy on the eyes as well. (Andrew Hamilton, Allmusic)

Peter Zaremba's Love Delegation "Spread The Word" 1986/1999

Like a souped-up time machine delivered a house party!The garage rock spirit of Zaremba's band, The Fleshtones, is in full force on this recently-reissued solo album that dates back to '86. Good-time rock'n'roll mixed with a horn section, backup female vocalists, and other studio amenities - you can add all the fixings you want to Peter Zaremba's songs yet they're still raw and overflowing with energy. You can't expect much less than a party from the romping "Hama Lama Bing Bang" or the horn-driven "I'm Gonna Knock You Out." With all the conviction of a Morrison or Jagger, Zaremba's vocals make even the most derivitive tracks transcendent. In the hands of other musicians these songs might sound stale, but the hand-clapping, high-spirited zeal with which this album was recorded is unparalled compared to 99% of the music produced since this release. Could it be that Zaremba was still breathing the punk vigor and idealism that most had lost by the mid '80s? Or maybe he was listening to too much KC & The Sunshine Band. Whatever the influences, Spread the Word is enough to make you shake your booty, defiantly snarl, and all the while feel the love. - by Elliott S.Peter Zaremba's Love Delegation:

"We're Gonna Change The World!" The 60's Chicago Garage Sound Of Quill Productions

Chicago was a great place to be if you were a member of a rock & roll combo in the mid-'60s -- there were plenty of teen clubs, radio stations were happy to play local product, and several Windy City labels were ready and willing to take hometown acts into the studio and get their music into stores. Dunwich Records and USA Records were the biggest labels in Chicago and both scored a handful of national hits, but they were far from the only game in town, and Peter Wright, a successful record promo man who went on to manage the New Colony Six, ran one of the city's most interesting small labels, Quill Records, which released top-notch sides on a number of fine groups and licensed a few of his masters to larger labels out of town. While Quill only lasted a bit less than two years (from 1966 to 1967), their output was impressive stuff from an eclectic variety of acts, and the great reissue label Sundazed, only a few months after releasing a definitive two-disc overview of the USA Records catalog (2131 South Michigan Avenue: 60's Garage and Psychedelia from U.S.A. and Destination Records), have unearthed 19 highlights from Quill's archives on We're Gonna Change the World! The 60's Chicago Garage Sound of Quill Productions. Many of Quill's acts followed the trends of the major British acts of the day, but hardly all of them; the Exterminators deliver a screed against long hair and take an "America first" position on rock with the over the top "Declaration of Independence '65," "Hot Pastrami" by the Don Caron Orchestra is a high-powered instrumental dominated by honking saxophones and fuzzy guitars, and "I'm Going to Change the World" by the Commons Ltd. suggests the psychedelic revolution that was lurking around the corner while still maintaining a high degree of sneer and swagger. And even the acts that were looking to the U.K. for inspiration were turning their eyes to unusual places; the Delights were clearly obsessed with the Zombies, so much so that their original tune "Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Moment" mimics their style just as well as their cover of "Just Out of Reach," and the Skunks, who true to their name bleached stripes into their hair, also leaned to the moody side of British pop with "Don't Ask Why" and a fine cover of the Beatles' "It's Only Love" (though "Do the Duck" is a raw and fuzzy celebration of some would-be dance craze). But whether they were embracing an introspective approach or raving up on some tough R&B-influenced sounds, every track on this collection sounds taut, well-crafted, and full of life. Bob Irwin's remastering is excellent, and the liner notes by Jeff Jarema tell the story behind the label and the bands very well indeed; Sundazed has been giving the Chicago garage rock scene plenty of attention as of late, and We're Gonna Change the World! proves the music more than merits the coverage.

"Kontroversial Kovers" 32 Original Kinky 60's Mod/Garage/Freakbeat Kovers From The Six Continents Of Planet Daviesland 1965-1969

Kontroversial Kovers Kollekts for the first time in one place, 32 tracks from around the world, recorded during the golden era of garage between the years of 1964-1969. All tracks were written by Ray Davies and released by the Kinks, but here they are recorded by bands who at the time had varying levels of success. These often fuzzed out, sometimes quirky, and always inspired, rarely heard takes on Kinks Klassiks, when put together in this collection, demand a second look and in many cases a first. This record is a Kinks or Garage Konnoiseur’s dream come true. The track list speaks for itself! (Light In The Attic)Here's an underground title that deserves a widespread release - I could only find two mentions of it online at all, one an expired eBay option, and another listing for it at Chicago's excellent Permanent Records.
The concept is simple - why not put together a Nuggets style compilation of Kinks covers? Why not indeed. So here we have 32 tracks recorded between 1965 and 1969, all written by Mr Raymond Douglas Davies, and recorded by 32 different bands of the era with varying degrees of obscurity, but a remarkable level of consistency.
Coming from the time period it does, the earlier raw r&b Kinks tunes dominate with only the odd diversion into "Face to Face" and beyond, especially noteworthy in this field being Mexican band Los Angeles (confusing I know) who tackle Waterloo Sunset in their native tongue, putting a strangely exotic spin on a song as British as buttered crumpets.
It's not all obscurities either - the Human Instinct conquer all with their raucous version of "You Really Got Me" with it's ascending backing vocals souding like a rough blueprint for T.Rex's chart conquering glam rock stomp, and Lemmy's first band of note, the Rockin' Vicker's making an appearance with their final single, "Dandy" - although those expecting a louder than anything else Motorhead style rocker will be setting themselves up for disappointment in that department.
Garage jangle is the dominant sound on display here, with plenty of Yardbirds style rave-ups but there's also room for diversions into exotic psych-pop (Los Cincos' "Most Exclusive Residence For Sale") and most impressive of all perhaps, The Blue Orchids lovely girl-group take on "I've Got That Feeling" (actually released before the Kinks version), an unexpected inversion of the Motown girl group covers strewn amongst the Kinks early recordings.
Lovingly remastered over two slabs of red and blue vinyl, this is a thoroughly entertaining diversion that every Kinks or vintage garage fan NEEDS in their collection. (Nathan Ford, The Active Listener)

"I Was a Teenage Zombie" VA (Original Soundtrack) 1987

Great Silly Movie, GREAT MUSIC!I was in the video store back in the eighties (probably 1987) and I was just a kid mesmorized by the horror video section. Now, parents let me rent horror films just as long as the cover was not gruesome or had a guy with a chainsaw on it. Boy were they fooled. I saw the cover to this movie and instantly it looked like a cool movie. My parents looked at it and saw nothing objectionable about it, so I rented it. I remember the movie itself was silly and childish but what really stood out for me were some of the gore scenes in the movie. When your a 7 year old kid and you see someone getting their face viciously ripped off that kind of thing sticks with you. Now, going into present day, I had one hell of a time finding a copy of this movie but, thanks to Ebay, I found an original copy just as I remembered it. Boy, was this a jem for me. So, I got some beer, sat down and popped it on. I was not disappointed at all. Basically, the story goes like this. A group of teenage friends are looking for some weed to smoke at high school dance. They can't find it anywhere but through a low life called Mussalini (Moose for short). The weed turns out to be really bad and they go to get their money back but off course Moose plays it like a jerk. So the teens kill Moose by accident and through his body into a local river that has been heavily polluted. Needless to say, Moose comes back to life to seek revenge and soon starts killing the teens. Well, the few that are left decide to fight fire with fire and throw one of their dead friends into the same polluted water and hope that he comes back. This is a great low budget film that brings back a lot of memories from the eighties. For gore fans, don't expect anything to vicious but the movie does have its moments, just very low budget moments." - cmrosenthal from United Statestraxfromwax:

"House Rockin' Blues" Chess & Checker Chicago Classics

Compilations of vintage Chess material seem to be plentiful these days, but this excellent collection of strictly uptempo material should not be passed by at any cost. With a healthy 27 tracks aboard, the highlights are numerous with the label's stars and second stringers like Howlin' Wolf, J.B. Lenoir, John Brim, Billy Boy Arnold, Bo Diddley, Willie Mabon, Elmore James and Otis Rush all present and accounted for. But rather than opt for the same tracks that have been around the block time and again, true obscurities like the anonymous Little Luther's "The Twirl," G.L. Crockett's "Look Out Mabel," the previously unissued Robert Nighthawk with Buddy Guy shuffle, "Someday," "Tired of Crying over You" by Morris Pejoe and "He Knows the Rules" by Jimmy McCracklin pepper the mix to keep the collectors happy as well. If the boogie side of the Chess canonade is your particular cup of coffee, this collection is the one you'll keep going back to time and again. Great! (Cub Koda, Allmusic)

Bobby Robinson, who died earlier this year, was one of the great and important African-American independent record producers who, together with his brother Danny, launched a number of record labels (Fire, Fury, Everlast, Holiday, etc.) and chalked up a number of big R&B hits. A number of reissues of their recordings have been made over the years but these reissues seem to recycle the same 40 or 50 singles. But the brothers made much more great music that hasn't been reissued and this is the first disc in a series to help rectify that situation with about 2/3 of the tracks new to CD. Sure there are a few familiar titles (Charles Walker Slop by Charles Walker, Scratch n' Twist by Wild Jimmy Spruill, etc.) but it's the more obscure titles that will be of most appeal to collectors and most of it is very good indeed including the ferocious hard rocking opener Can't Stop Movin' by Johnny Chef (aka Johnny Acey), Riff Ruffin's reworking of The Hucklebuck as Hucklebuck Scratch with fret melting guitar (Jimmy Spruill? Larrry Dale? Mickey Baker?), two gorgeous gospel sides from The Southwinds, Curtis Carrington's incredibly soulful rendition of the oldie You Are My Sunshine with some great sax work which sounds like King Curtis. Other goodies come courtesy of Helen Bryant, Hal Paige & The Whalers (the intense gospelly blues Don't Have To Cry No More), The Gay Poppers, Harry Lewis & Orch. (the fine two part instrumental Night Stroll), Lee Roy Little (a great rendition of Amos Milburn's Let Me Go Home Whiskey with that rhythm that was to influence ska music in Jamaica) and others. Excellent sound and booklet has introductory notes on Bobby's career to be continued on Volume 2. (FS) (Roots & Rhythm)

The Nomads "Big sound 2000" 1999

This is a prime example of how great "garage punk" doesn't have to be all squealing, posturing, and tuneless thrash. These guys flat out rock with a capital R. This is straight up punk rock with lots of American rock influence. Sure they like the Sonics, but that ain't all they like: MC5, Johnny Thunders, Saints, Ramones, plenty of hard rockin' bands. But remember that these Swedes have been rockin' since the early 80's and became a huge influence on modern garage kings, the Mono Men. Tons of melody, no shortage of attitude, and a thorough grasp of those that came before them (these guys do more covers than any sane band should) make em one helluva band. And while most bands would have become mostly irrelevant at this stage in the game, the Nomads come through with this amazing album, proving that they are FAR from dead. - By punkviperBased in Stockholm, the Nomads have stood out from other garage rock revivalists because of the intensity of their performances and the wide range of their influences, which extend beyond the usual '60s bands to encompass '70s punk, heavy metal, rockabilly, and blues. Their first release was a crude remake of the Sonics' "Psycho"; the band pressed 500 copies of this self-financed single in 1981 but had to discard 50 copies because of defects. They followed this with another single, a blistering rendition of "Night Time" by the Strangeloves, and received wider recognition with their first mini-album, Where the Wolf Bane Blooms. In 1984, they conducted their first European tour and garnered attention in the United States for their Outburst album. Despite successful attempts to broaden their sound, such as using horns on a recording of Jeff Conolly's "She Pays the Rent" and a trashy synthesizer on the Suicide-influenced "My Deadly Game," they have not managed to gain more than a small cult following in the States; this may be because they have recorded only a limited number of original songs. Nonetheless, they have managed to create some genuinely exciting, if not particularly innovative, music. ~ Todd Kristeltrax:

"Honk! Honk! Honk!" DooTone/Combo Records

This CD is out of print, and sells for a fortune on Amazon UK!All 30 of these tracks from the early- to mid-'50s are illustrative of the Los Angeles R&B/jump blues movement, unified by the honking saxes that were often among the genre's distinguishing features. The material was all cut for the Combo label, except for a few that saw release on Dootone. You get four to seven offerings by four figures who were fairly well known: Joe Houston, Jack McVea, Roy Milton, and Chuck Higgins. Odds and ends by Jake Porter, the Jonesy Combo, Floyd Turnham, Brother Woodman, and Lorenzo Holden fill out the picture. Now, as gritty and earthy as the sound of sax-driven West Coast 1950s R&B might be, a problem with these releases, whether they're of one artist or compilations, is a homogeneity to the grooves. Interestingly, Ace made an effort to let listeners know that this isn't quite more of the same, announcing on the back sleeve that this includes "a dozen or so vocals to enhance the listening experience." There's a bit of calypso in the Jonesy Combo's "Ting Ting Boom Scat" and the occasional mid-tempo number or ballad. Still, you'd have to say this might be too much of a good thing unless the honkin' sax is one of your main bags. That's not to diminish the athletic flights of squeals and honks that are on hand throughout this extensive anthology, which includes one of the prime zeniths of the style, Joe Houston's "All Night Long." Of interest is the insensitively named Chuck Higgins instrumental "Wetback Hop," which got little airplay or sales due to its title. The exuberant party shouts of his "Oh Yeah!," at least, spoke a pretty universally approved language. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

"Twinight's Chicago Soul Heaven" 1967-1972

A dream come true! (especially for us Chicagoans) Kent compiled some of the best soul tracks from the rare Twinight label – home of Syl Johnson, The Notations, Nate Evans, The Dynamic Tints, and other legendary Chicago soul artists. Lots of this stuff has a nice raw west side feel to it, and since most of these tracks were only on singles that even we find hard to find, this CD's one of the major documentations of some of the other soul work that was happening in Chicago away from Chess, Okeh, or some of the other bigger labels. 24 tracks, with the usual great notes and stuff – plus a lot of rare cuts that we'd never heard. Tracks include "A New Day " by the Notations, "Main Squeeze" by Nare Evans, "Don't Wanna Face the Truth" by Radiants, "Maggie" by Johnny Williams, "Life Walked Out" by the Mist, and "Powerful Love" by Chuck and Mac.

Esquivel & His Orchestra "Infinity In Sound" Vol 2 - 1961

Esquivel has few peers in originality. His spectacular ideas and concepts come at you full speed in this compilation. Not only did Esquivel provide a road-map for all musicians and engineers into the world of stereo (in its infancy)- he imaged other sounds and textures into his arrangements providing the listener with a truly unique experience. This album showcases Esquivel's unique musical palette as well as some incredible studio talent! Listen to the ingenious "Time On My Hands" - even if you're not a musician...you have to love it! - By RICHARD W WARGIN JR All but two tracks here (and possibly those by now) have been plundered for CD compilations. Infinity in Sound Vol. 2 builds on the strength of the first volume and earier successes. Two tracks feature whistling, one of which is the beautiful, exotic Latin tune "Baia." Other standouts include "Anna (El Negro Zumbon)," "Who's Sorry Now," and "Limehouse Blues." This may be the Esquivel album that has it all: his signature style and sound, some experimentation (whistling), and an even mix of Latin and non-Latin standards. It may be the most representative of Esquivel's U.S. releases, although not the greatest. - AllMusic Review by Tony Wildstrax:

01 Jalousie (Jealousy) 02 Time On My Hands 03 Bye Bye Blues 04 Baía 05 Who's Sorry Now? 06 Anna (El Negro Zumbon) 07 España Cañi 08 Sentimental Journey 09 Cherokee 10 Lullaby Of Birdland 11 La Bamba 12 Limehouse Blues

Esquivel & His Orchestra "Infinity In Sound" Vol 1 - 1960

INFINITY IN SOUND VOL. 1 was the first collaboration between the Mexican arranger Esquivel, and producer Neely Plumb and engineer John Norman, in which the lounge music king began to push studio recording techniques to their limits, including extreme stereo separation, you-are-there instrumental effects, and a general sense of anything-goes experimentation. - AllMusic Review by Richard MortifoglioAfter several, probably ill-advised collaborative (or sideman) efforts, Esquivel returns to his full glory on Infinity in Sound. This is the second album — after Exploring New Sounds in Stereo — of the "typical" Esquivel, who pushed the envelope of stereophonic "gee-whiz-ardry." Several tracks are recycled in LP and CD compilations. While "Johnson Rag," "Harlem Nocturne," "Take the 'A' Train," and "Frenesi" are all good examples of Esquivel in his prime, the chief attraction of the album is its consistency and overall integrity. It is a relief that Esquivel is not trying anything stranger than he already is. However, it is not quite his best or most interesting work. - i-tunestrax:

Eskew Reeder (Esquerita) "I Never Danced Nowhere!" 1960-1962

The music on this cd was recorded on the Minit label between 1960-62.The music is a little more subdued compared to his 1958-59 Capitol recordings. However the music is orchestrated at times, yet at times it is raw and bluesy, almost soulful / gospel like. A very good CD. Highly recommended for people who like this style of music or for Esquerita / Little Richard fans. (Blues Cat)

"The Complete Harvey Records Singles 1961-1963"

The short-lived, Detroit-based Harvey Records, owned by Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy - sister of Motown’s Berry Gordy Jr. - issued just eleven singles between October 1961 and April 1962, plus a twelfth (by Keith Moss) sitting in the can as the label folded, leaving Fuqua and Gordy, together with their artists, Jr. Walker & the All Stars and Ann Bogan, the lady just billed as Ann here, to find new homes within the Motown empire.  Both sides of those original eleven issued singles have been collected here and if you’re wondering why that totals twenty-one and not twenty-two, it’s because ‘Orange Driver’ by Eddie Burns featured on both Harvey 111, the label debut, and Harvey 118.  Thus, that becomes the set’s opener and reflects Burns’ roots as a blues guitarist.  As his tracks moved on, he took on more of an r&b edge, romping through ‘Mean And Evil (Baby)’ and swinging ‘Don’t Be Messing With My Bread’.  Loe & Joe are actually Lorraine Rudolph - later to find fame on the northern soul circuit with her Jetstream release, ‘Keep Coming Back For More’ - and one Joseph Murphy.  Their ‘Little Ole Boy Little Ole Girl’, penned by the distinguished writing team of Harvey Fuqua, Brook Benton and Etta James, would go on to be revived by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell.  (Incidentally, due to a mix up at pressing stage, certain tracks have become out of sequence of both intended chronological order and tray card listing, thus that cut, intended as track 3 is actually moved to 21, 4-16 become 3-15, 18-21 become16-19 and 17 moves to 20!!!)  The Loe & Joe twosome swing their way through ‘That’s How I Am Without You’ in fine fashion too.  The label’s other male/female partnership is that of Fuqua himself with Ann Bogan, who also recorded with the Challengers/Challengers I11 (on Tri-Phi, another of Fuqua’s labels), with the Marvelettes at Motown and latterly, Love, Peace & Happiness and the New Birth conglomeration.  Bogan’s strong and gutsy vocals on both tracks, especially the slower ‘Will I Do’, makes one question why she never had a surely deserved solo career.  The Five Quails dropped the ‘Five’ after their first of three outings, which began with ‘Got To Get To School On Time’, a Coasters/Clovers’ style number, bettered by its flip, ‘Been A Long Time’ - subsequently recorded by the Elgins as ‘It’s Been A Long Long Time’ - the doo-wop ballad, ‘My Love’ and the romantic ‘I Thought’.  Finally, the act that would make the greatest future impact, that of Jr. Walker & the All Stars, ‘Cleo’s Mood’ even getting a new lease of life by Motown and scoring #14 r&b on both the ‘Billboard’ and ‘Cashbox’ listings on the Soul label in 1966.  A worthy release of Detroit music history.

Splodgenessabounds "Splodgenessabounds" 1981

This is a classic album from the original godfathers of 'silly punk'.Formed in 1979 by Max Splodge and Pat Thetic. Baby Greensleeves was Max's girlfriend, backing vocalist, prop supervisor and go go dancer to early SPLODGENESSABOUNDS. This "high energy comedy punk band" from London spearheaded the early 80's UK 'Punk Pathetique' movement. Baby appeared on all their early Deram hits including the classic 'Two pints of Lager' hidden away on the b-side of the 'Simon Temple' EP in 1980. She was also responsible for giving Max blow jobs on stage, chucking pints everywhere and recording 'Michael Booths Talking bum' routine during their wilder earlier performances and pissed up shindigs. South London's SPLODGENESSABOUNDS are still gigging to this day, all be it as SPLODGE'S version of the band. Whatever happened to Babygreensleeves is anyones guess? I spose we better ask Splodge? Numerous line-ups and jokes that wore thin never captured the bands early success. You can can hear the Baby Greensleeves line-up on the current rerelease on Captain Oi Records. And for more info and Discography go here to the bands official site http://www.splodgenessabounds.com/line-up:

Esquivel "Exploring New Sounds in Stereo" 1958

Exploring New Sounds in Stereo is the first of the typical Esquivel albums from which the CD compilations draw heavily. There is a lot to recommend it. "Whatchamacallit" is probably his second best-loved tune (released also as a single backed with the non-LP track, "I Feel Merely Marvelous"). The track features the ondioline, an electronic-organ-like instrument often associated with the theremin. And on Exploring New Sounds in Stereo, there is indeed theremin in Esquivel's spacy treatment of "Spellbound" (from the movie of the same name). Other highlights include the exotic "Bella Mora," the cheesy "My Number One Love," and "The 3rd Man Theme." The album also has slightly different arrangements than the monaural Exploring New Sounds in Hi-Fi. - AllMusic Review by Tony Wildstrax:

‘To Be True’ by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - or, to give the set it’s full billing, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring Theodore Pendergrass - was the first by the group to properly acknowledge Teddy P’s contribution to the sound of the outfit.  Also ‘featuring’, was oft guest vocalist, Sharon Paige, who duets with Teddy (and indeed gets top billing over the group) on the fine Kenny Gamble/Leon Huff ballad, ‘Hope That We Can Be Together Soon’, a US r&b #1 with both ‘Billboard’ and ‘Cashbox’, crossing over to top fifty pop.  It was the third r&b top ten single to be pulled from the album, delivering a hat trick after ‘Where Are All My Friends’, a typically vibrant Philly dancer from the pens of Gene McFadden, John Whitehead and Victor Carstarphen and the (on single) two-part ‘Bad Luck’, another uptempo delight from the same writing team.  As might be expected the whole is a classy affair, epitomised by the deliciously floating ‘To Be True’ title track and the ballad perfection of Gamble & Huff’s ‘Somewhere Down The Line’ and ‘It’s All Because Of A Woman’, another showcase for the Pendergrass vocals, yet without denying the overall support of the rest of the guys.  Philadelphia International’s heyday product has lost nothing of its class and sparkle over the years and, although I will accept that it may be all a little too smooth and orchestrated for some folks, for me soul music doesn’t get much better than this.(The Soul Basement)

"Naughty Rhythms" The Best Of Pub Rock 1970-1976 (1996)

Pub rock is the frequently forgotten forefather of punk rock, although on the surface the two genres don't appear to have much in common. Punk rock was about revolution and pub rock was about tradition, at least superficially. But place pub rock in its proper context, and it was nearly as revolutionary as punk. In the early '70s, rock & roll was dominated by heavy metal, art rock, and blues-rock, all genres that required skill. The simple, laid-back three-chord shuffles of pub rock -- ranging from straight-ahead rock & roll, to country and blues-rock -- didn't require much skill, but it was a working class, do-it-yourself movent that took rock & roll back to its roots, which is essentially what punk rock did. Furthermore, pub rock bands established a circuit of nightclubs within England, which is where all the original punk bands played. Naughty Rhythms: The Best of Pub Rock is the first comprehensive colllection of the scene, featuring every major pub rock band, as well as nearly every minor band. Compiled by former Kursaal Flyer Will Birch with Paul Bradshaw, the double disc set effectively traces the development of the genre, from its country-rock roots with Brinsley Schwarz to the pounding, proto-punk of Eddie & the Hot Rods. In between, there are 34 other songs that cover all the aspects of pub rock, from the relaxed acoustic rock of Eggs Over Easy and the Stonesy groove of Ducks Deluxe and Dr. Feelgood to the commercial gloss of Ace and the eccentric rock of Kilburn and the High Roads. The double-disc set provides all the worthwhile songs from almost every band featured on the collection, with the notable exception of Brinsley Schwarz, who were already represented with five tracks. Naughty Rhythms is the definitive document of pub rock and for most listeners, it will be all they need to know. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)trax disc 1:

Ganimian and His Orientals "Come With Me To The Casbah" 1959

Armenian folk music meets early USA rock and roll nonsensical jibberish freakout? Kitschy soundtrack to a 1950s spy movie, in the scene where a potbellied bemoustached man is jiggling his way through a market waving a scimitar and knocking over baskets of fruit? What the hell is this??I've been told that Ganimian's music can be lumped into the genre "Jungle Exotica," early rock and roll songs based not on the real jungle, but the "jungle" as exotified in Hollywood movies. These songs feature signature traits such as "chest-beating ape mating calls and bird noises ... not to mention phrases like the fake Chinese "Ah, so!" or [Ganimian's] Bela Legosi-intoned 'Come with me to the Casbah,'" all of which "skirt stereotypes that, in later times, would be called politically incorrect." - BY CAMILLA at http://www.truepanther.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Esquivel "Four Corners of the World" 1958

Four Corners of the World brings us back to Earth after the out there experimentation of Other Sounds, Other Worlds. Most listeners will be disappointed to discover that Four Corners is the least characteristic of Esquivel's zaniness. His arranging skills are demonstrated in purest form, as the album is the artist playing piano with relatively spare backing. But as with Martin Denny and exotica, this effort really is not likely to please those hoping for "new sounds in stereo." Certainly there are greater piano players and albums. Note that the version of "Cielito Lindo" here is not the same as released on the 45 rpm single. - AllMusic Review by Tony WildsUnlike the "official" review here, I find this to be one of Esquivel's finest albums. Recording on unused studio time which was booked after another session (for "Other Worlds, Other Sounds"), the group is pared down to a small jazz combo, and Esquivel (or rather, his piano) gets to be the center of attention here. His playing is an acquired taste, for sure, but with all of the excess baggage removed, the songs are very minimalist, yet light and fleet-footed, and the group is clearly caught up in the boundless energy of its leader. It is a nice little diversion from his more heavily laden albums with full band or orchestra. A gem among his collection, worth seeking out! - Rudy ™trax:

"Don't You Feel My Leg" Apollo's Lady Blues Singers 1946-1950

Subtitled "Apollo's Lady Blues Singers," this Delmark CD has nine numbers (three previously unissued) by Blue Lu Barker, five from Wea Bea Booze and four by Baby Dee. Barker was rather limited but ironically was easily the best-known singer of the three. She is assisted on some cuts (all outfitted by Danny Barker lyrics) by trumpeter Shad Collins and either Teddy McRae or Jerry Jerome on tenor and is at her best on the remake of her hit "Don't You Feel My Leg." Wea Bea Booze (joined by a quartet that includes tenorman George Kelly and organist Larry Johnson) and Baby Dee (backed by an unidentified but talented sextet) were actually stronger vocalists despite being long-forgotten, and are the main reasons to acquire this fine early R&B/jump music set.

Esquivel "See It In Sound" 1999

A long-buried release from Esquivel's recording days in the 1960s, See It in Sound brings to life an even more eclectic and peculiar chapter in this music experimentalist's canon. Like Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music and Other Worlds, Other Sounds, it's a campy yet serious-minded sonic blitzkrieg, filled with lounge-act cheese, utterly insane arrangements, and the vertigo-inducing possibilities of stereo recording techniques. Bird calls, beeping horns, jungle sounds, and God knows what else ping-pong back and forth across the speakers, while Esquivel sambas, cha-chas, and swings merrily along. Yet while this record is more extreme and brazen in its musical whimsy than Esquivel's other work, at times pushing the outermost boundary of contemporary pop, it still maintains the martini-mixing feel of his other Martin Denny-esque "easy-listening" releases--just barely. Chanting tribesmen and wild-animal howls reverberate with a somber French horn on "Similau," while strange marching-band tempos and movie-soundtrack clips of trench warfare whiz by on "Inca's Dream." The goofy main melody of "Honky Tonky Cha Cha" is carried by an old barroom piano straight out of a spaghetti Western's dusty old poker hall, while splashing water, marimbas, and a chorus of laughing children bounce around weirdly in the background. There's no denying that it all sounds pretty crazy and, in reality, it is. Still, nobody else has ever, or will ever, go this crazy again and still manage to sound this cool. - Matthew CookeSam Wick's dense four pages of liner notes to Esquivel's See It in Sound album provide a window to this fascinating kaleidoscope of intonation which, shockingly, RCA Records refused to release after it was recorded in Hollywood in May of 1960. In order to be objective one has to take oneself away from the cult who adore Esquivel's work and just hear this magical adventure away from the rhetoric and judge it on its own merits. The verdict: See It in Sound is a vibrant and tremendously creative artistic achievement. Keep in mind, just five years prior to this, RCA Records released Don Charles' the Singing Dogs -- and went Top 25 with "Oh! Susanna." Understand? The record company released "Dolly," "Pearl," "Caesar," and "King" barking on a record but, as the liner notes explain, See It in Sound was..."just way too bizarre for the brass of RCA." That being said, perhaps Lou Reed got payback for Esquivel by forcing that label to release four sides of Metal Machine Music. The "dextrorotory components" of Lou's vision turned to sound was a supreme joke played on the record label that inhibited the release of See It in Sound. The textures and depth of See It in Sound must have been a joyful banquet for mastering engineer Bill Lacey (conversely, Reed gives special thanks to Bob Ludwig for mastering Metal Machine Music, no doubt thanks for allowing him to torture the guy). There's such an ocean of delightful real life sounds mixed in with music that the 39 minutes plus available here seems a lot longer than it is. When not having the disc provide background sounds and tuning in to the project, one gets lost in the wonder of it all. Originally produced by Neely Plumb -- and the question is how does one produce a project like this? -- the new compilation was produced by Paul Williams, who also did the tape research. All the dates of the original recordings are next to the songs, as well as the serial numbers, and all this material is previously unreleased. This 1999 release of music recorded 39 years earlier is as inspiring as it is entertaining. After hearing the disc multiple times the listener still doesn't have a complete handle on it, and perhaps never will! But one knows when one likes something, and this is very likeable, and will no-doubt get stuck in the CD player for hundreds of spins. As Jerry Goldsmith's brilliant soundtrack work on the original Planet of the Apes film pushed the limits, the music and sounds here intertwine and delight nonstop. A revelation. - AllMusic Review by Joe Viglione

Erma Franklin & Lavern Baker "Brunswick's Super Soul Sisters"

To some, Erma Franklin(1939-2002) is simply known as Aretha's older sister or as the woman who originally sang "Piece Of My Heart". But those in the know realize her brief recording career highlights some of the impressive soul performances ever to pressed on hot wax!!!Brilliant later work from Lavern Baker – material recorded years after her bigger fame at Atlantic Records, but with vocals that are still equally sublime! The set’s got a very different feel than the blusier styles of before – and features wonderful Chicago soul production by Carl Davis and Eugene Record, but mixed with more uptown New York-styled arrangements from Teacho Wiltshire and Bert DeCoteaux – who mix strings and a bit of backing vocals with the harder rhythmic punch you’d expect from Brunswick. Some of the best cuts have a groovy groovy sound that really points the way to a whole new direction for Lavern. (Dusty Groove)
