Paul Revere and the Raiders - The Spirit of ’67 [Deluxe Mono Stereo Edition] (Now Sounds/Cherry Red 2016)

• MONO MIX ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
• FEATURING THREE BONUS TRACKS!
• SOURCED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES!
• BILLBOARD TOP 10 LP!
The Spirit of ’67 was fermented in the creative highs of 1966. Paul Revere & The Raiders were at the peak of their popularity that year, playing hundreds of concert dates while also appearing five days a week on ABC-TV’s Where The Action Is!

The top 10 LP also found the band pushing their own creative boundaries and experimenting with a number of different styles.

This deluxe-edition marks the first-time digital release of the hard-to-find mono mix of Spirit of ’67. Also included are three bonus tracks.
The deluxe, full-colour booklet also includes rare photos and extensive liner notes by noted music historian MIKE STAX (Ugly Things) that feature the participation of original band members. Mastered by ALAN BROWNSTEIN from the ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES!

The In Crowd; UK Mod R&B Beat 1964-1967 (RPM CD 2001)

In a sea of compilations out there, this one is an absolute standout. Apparently so named because it features the obscure UK band "The In Crowd," whose short recorded output included a 45 or two on the seminal Deram label, this CD includes numerous cornerstone recordings of the era. First, consider the band Steampacket who appear near the end. The first real UK supergroup (or maybe the second if you consider the Graham Bond Organization), its members included Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll, Rod Stewart and John Baldry doing some marvellous blue-eyed soul. Search out their sole release as an adjunct to what you find here. We also have early solo recordings by three members of the band, the best of which is Rod's version of Sam Cooke's "Shake." You can tell by the elaborate production they knew the man would go far. Other highlights include In-Crowd's likewise inspired blue-eyed soul rendering of "That's How Strong.." and "Stroll On" (aka "Train Kept a Rollin'") by the Yardbirds and, oh yes, Chris Farlowe's "Hey Hey Hey Hey," a great vocal-piano-drum tune. And, possibly the most talented unknown group of the day (if Timebox isn't) we have Gary Farr and his group doing a fine drum/cymbal driven instrumental (well, actually instruments and wordless vocals) called "Get the Money." Take a little money and "Get the CD"!! (Shindig)

Vibeke - The World Famous Hat Trick (2008)

Okay so you take Debbie Harry of Blondie and you make her the lead singer for The Knack. That’s it — you’ve basically got Vibeke. That’s pronounced Vee-Becca. Vibeke Saugestad, is a veteran of several bands, originally part of EMI-signed Weld, she hopped around and landed in the Norwegian group, The Yum Yums playing keyboard. In her new solo album, she brings smart classic pop with a sultry strong vocal and an angelic sigh, starting with the bouncy “He’s Peculiar.” The next song “Keep on Dreaming” marries the skinny tie guitar styles to Vibeke’s multi-tracked vocals. The songs then take a soulful journey – “Close The Door” is an excellent ballad with a hint of Chrissie Hynde here. Most of the tracks have a great accompanying guitar riff and drum beat, and like in “Meant To Be With You” it sounds like a great lost Rubinoos song. After a few listens, it’s not hard to get caught up with those choruses running in your head. More standouts here are “Know You Now” and the magical chord changes of  “Until the Sun Comes Out.” This last one is my favorite on the album here and on my ipod’s playlist. And the ballads, though not as memorable, are beautifully executed here. Even the albums closer “You Don’t Go Away” resemble an Aimee Mann song. And next to Mrs. Michael Penn, Vibeke has the best female pop vocal I’ve heard all year. (Powerpopaholic)

Scandinavian pop princess Vibeke puts her best food forward on her new album, hoping to capture some of that US dollar! And why not? Her brand of guitar-loaded yet catchy, danceable pop has just as much, if not more, substance of any of this “I Kissed A Girl” nonsense currently all over the radio. I mean, is Jill Sobule getting any royalties from that girl’s song?
Anyways, Vibeke’s album did great business overseas and received plenty of great reviews so it was only a matter of time until some savvy label brought it over here and gave Vibeke a foothold over in the Red, White and Blue. Not only does Vibeke have a great pop voice and even better pop instincts (she writes most of the songs here and plays piano and acoustic guitar), she also knows her way around the history of great pop, choosing great songs to cover cover by power pop legends such as Dom Mariani and Frank Secich of the legendary Blue Ash. This is a very pleasing debut and an artist to watch. This album is great fun and bodes well for great things down the line for Miss Vibeke! (Rock & Roll Report)

21 Shade Tree Mechanic - Z.Z. Hill
22 Knot In My Pocket - Mack Rice
23 Money Talks - Mack Rice
24 Love Whip - The Reverend Horton Heat
25 Snake Drive - R.L. Burnside

The spirit of Sir Bonny "Mack" Rice looms large on this set. His demo of "Tina The Go Go Queen" was reportedly rescued from a dumpster by Jim Dickinson. (This two minute segment of it came from Youtube.) The Panther Burns also covered Rice's demos of "Do The Robot" and "Money Talks". (Mack Rice recorded his own version of "Money Talks" in 2000 for his album This What I Do.)

Mack Rice and Eddie Floyd co-wrote "Ditch Digging" and "My Mind Was Messed Around At The Time". Floyd, Rice, and Wilson Pickett were bandmates in The Falcons in the 1950's and 60's. Mack Rice's best known compositions are "Mustang Sally" and "Respect Yourself". Rice died in 2016.

As a cinemaphile, Tav Falco is likely familiar with Bruce Conner's film of a lovely young Toni Basil dancing to her 1966 single "Breakaway". (Basil was almost 40 when she hit #1 with "Mickey".) "Breakaway" was written by Ed Cobb, and is a highlight of Tav's most recent album, "Command Performance". 77 minutes, tagged, VBR.

If you are in Spain or Portugal this weekend, go see Tav Falco's Unapproachable Panther Burns!

Re: If anyone has "Overdrive" or "Into The Shimmering" by Vibeke Saugestad, please share.

Gyro (copter, gearloose?), et al,

Found both on Soulseek@192Kbps. Had a listen & both sound fine. Spec (my goto app for anything promising X-bitrate - can't fool Spec) showed both peaking at ~19KHz, very respectible for 192K.

Into The Shimmering from 2001 is melodic powerpop, with a couple of cuts have a wonderful Kirsty MacColl vibe. Thumbs up.

Overdrive from 2003 is something else again. Punchy, with a definite glam overlay. This one's going on my iPod used for drive-time-commute here in Silicon Valley. Two thumbs way up!

Link, both in one zip: http://www.mediafire.com/file/boj3cuo6p96fxa2/VS-Into-Over.zip

Whilst on the topic of Scandinavian female glammy power-pop, anyone besides me a fan of the 90s group Stars on Mars? Their 2 lps Poster (93) & Songbook (94) are sublime.

PS: whiny anonymice: Tis what it is, so boo-hoo in your safe place babies, not here.

Huh, these took forever to upload for some reason, but finally done. My rips from 13 years ago, so they're hi-VBR not 320, as disk drives were much smaller then & DL speeds much slower. Still sound just fine. Cheers.
